CoCo - Good observation by Ray Franz, thanks for posting.
So recreation is being dumped on again? I guess the placements are down and there's a backlog in the printery that needs shifting.

Hi Shadowolf, and welcome to the real world! If you want to read more, then try Captives of a Concept by Don Cameron or Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz. Chapter 1 can be read here.

Don't put off going to college if you possibly can. Many JW parents can be persuaded to let you go and it'll help you secure a better financial beginning for when you move out. Plan carefully for your full exit now and you'll gain both your self-respect, your freedom and the relationship with your parents.
Good luck!

Yeah I'd like to know what caused the worldly man to be angry too. Maybe he was "under pressure, fearful, not feeling well or struggling with some external or internal problem" as para 20 says. Or does that only apply to angry JW's?
Thanks Blondie

WHO ARE THE FALSE PROPHETS TODAY?
by Dogpatch inwho are the false prophets today.
by barbara anderson.
in 1991, one of the watch tower societys senior writers, colin quackenbush, told me in the privacy of his office about letters which the society had received from prominent and credible elders, not apostates (thats exactly what he said), who were concerned about the increase in accusations saying that jehovahs witnesses were false prophets.

This is a common WT fallacy because it totally misses the point of Hebrews 5 v 13 and 14 which says;
"For everyone that partakes of milk is unaquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to mature people, to those who through use have their perceptive powers trained to distinguish both right and wrong."
The Society misuse the scriptures so that they keep the faithful dependent on them as little children and unable to think for themselves like adults. Its a control technique.

More Society cutbacks - Society says "screw you" to the publishers yet again
by sir82 inat our service meeting it was announced that there is a change in the manner in which magazines are now to be delivered to the congregations.. up until now, magazines were sent to each kingdom hall via ups.
in years past magazines were sent to each congregation po's home address via ups.. going forward, magazines will be sent only as far as the assembly hall.
it is the responsibility of each kingdom hall to send brother(s) twice a month to drive out there, pick up the magazines, and return.. this of course saves a little bit of money for the society - shipping larger packages to fewer addresses will cost less.. however, what about the expense to the local congregations?.

The New Yorker and National Geographic are still afloat aren't they?
Of course. Where do you think the Awake gets their ideas from?
