Hello all,
I have searched everywhere that I can think of, but I can't track down any "Golden Ages" between 1925 and 1930. I know that PDFs exist for 1920 - 1924.
It seems that there were many many useful bits and pieces in the 1926 editions.
Does anyone have any that they are willing to post a link for?
Thank you
the uk "no blood" card expects the card holder to allow a hospital liaison committee access to their medical records and to details of their medical condition.
is the action requested on the card legal?
is a medical care facility bound by this agreement?
Blondie, it can be found in this thread...

satan makes a star shine ?
Matthew 2:15-18 NWT
[15]
and he stayed there until the decease of Herod, for that to be fulfilled which was spoken by Jehovah through his prophet, saying: "Out of Egypt I called my son."[16]
Then Herod, seeing he had been outwitted by the astrologers, fell into a great rage, and he sent out and had all the boys in Beth'le·hem and in all its districts done away with, from two years of age and under, according to the time that he had carefully ascertained from the astrologers.[17]
Then that was fulfilled which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying:[18]
"A voice was heard in Ra'mah, weeping and much wailing; it was Rachel weeping for her children, and she was unwilling to take comfort, because they are no more."
It happened to fulfill prophecy. To show the link between the Old and New Testaments (Hebrew and Greek texts), to show that the God of the Jews was the same god who was working through Jesus.
This shows that God (Jehovah, Yahweh, Elohim) was in control the whole time.
In order to comprehend that this was not some simple "rebellious act" that Satan performed in order to crush Jesus, one must understand that whilst we are caught up in the cosmic battle between Good and Evil, it is not easy to see which is prevailing at any given moment.
Take for example (as I mentioned above) the crucifixion...
The devil must have been popping the Champagne corks when he managed to get Judas to betray Jesus, but God knew all along that this would happen. So he made use of it...
Please realise that without Judas betraying Jesus, there would have been no ransom death of Jesus, and without the ransom death of Jesus, there would be no salvation.
The devil may have appeared to lose the battle, but God was way ahead of him and used him in order to fulfil good.
Life is not always black and white.
The same can be said of the star. Herod's massacre of the children was a forshadow to the death of Jesus - the same can be said for the slaughter of the first-born in Exodus.
Just my thoughts. Why can't I get black text when I want it???

The WTS always seems to inflate Satan's power. My only explanation is that it is to instill greater fear in the congregation so that they feel the need to "run to mother".
Even though we may stil encounter evil in our lives, we have the knowledge that the Devil loses the battle.
[Psalms 23:4 NRSV]Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me...
Jesus showed us (on the cross) that it is sometimes worth APPEARING to lose the battle in order to win the war with the devil. God's vision goes further than the devil's and that the devil's nip on the foot is necessary in order to crush his head at the same time.
ZICO, Hello again my friend,
Maybe God used the star so that it is provable, either now or in the future. Isn't there some astrological event or conjunction of planets that is supposed to have been the basis for the star? The BBC did a documentary about it in their "Son of God" series, I think it was called "Jesus, The Real Story" in the USA.
Zico, am I going mad, or have you moved from the UK to the Russian Federation in the last few days????
just recieved a e-mail from a active jw friend.
my mom was talking to a friend from bethal and they were talking about the number of the 144,000 that are left(..... and i talked briefly about this)and how they feel that there are actually less then 800and remember .....i said there had been a talk or something on it?
well i guess it was a wt article that we studied(well i knew i had heard it somewhere!
I too have been told something similar.
An elder told me that the number was nearer 700.

richard parker, a member of the jehovah`s witnesses, says that the refusal of transfusions is one of their fundamental beliefs.
based on what is written in the bible.it is not forbidden by their faith but is a matter of choice for the individual, he said.. who is richard parker - branch committee?
It is illegal for private patient information to be provided to a third party (such as to elders).
Sadly it seems that the (new ?) "No Blood Card" forces the signatory to allow the HLC to have access to their medical records.
(Note the word "and" in the "and/or" in point 6) Usually these sort of "xx/xx" phrases are followed by "delete as applicable", but it doesn't seem so here.
I guess that the signature could be ommitted from point 6 ???

Satan makes a star shine ? Did Satan create the universe ? Isn't that a bit Gnostic?
Has anyone noticed that "Satan" is an anagram of "Santa" ? Maybe this is the reason that JW's shun Christmas ????
This is still current, according to the 2006 WT Library. This is also an idea repeated in the following publications...
What ? How about, "With sinister precision, the star leads these believers in a message from an an angel sent by "Jehovah" God to deliver their prophetic gifts to his son. (Gold = Kingship, Frankincense = prayerful connection to God, Myrrh = death)" ?*** w98 12/15 p. 9 Jesus’ Birth—The Real Story ***Now, whether this was an actual light in the sky or simply a vision, we do not know. But we do know that this "star" was not from God. With sinister precision, it leads these pagan worshipers right to Jesus—a child vulnerable and helpless, protected only by a poor carpenter and his wife.
*** ir (Teacher Book) chap. 32 p. 168 How Jesus Was Protected*** A short time after Jesus is born, Satan causes what appears to be a star to shine in the sky in the East.
*** gt (Greatest Man) chap. 7 Jesus and the Astrologers ***
Who do you think provided the star that moved in the sky to guide the astrologers? Remember, the star did not guide them directly to Jesus in Bethlehem. Rather, they were led to Jerusalem where they came in touch with King Herod, who wanted to kill Jesus. And he would have done so if God had not stepped in and warned the astrologers not to tell Herod where Jesus was. It was God’s enemy, Satan the Devil, who wanted Jesus killed, and he used that star to try to accomplish his purpose. Matthew 2:1-12; Micah 5:2.
? What shows that the star the astrologers saw was no ordinary star?
? Where is Jesus when the astrologers find him?
? Why do we know that Satan provided the star to guide the astrologers?
*** w02 12/15 p. 32 "The Three Wise Men"—Who Were They? *** In view of all the troubles caused by their visit, it is reasonable to conclude that the star that they saw and the message about "the one born king of the Jews" came from God’s enemy, Satan the Devil, who wanted to do away with Jesus.—Matthew 2:1, 2.
The message came from Satan ??? Really ???
*** w56 12/15 p. 742 What Would Jesus Say? ***Since the slaying of the many young boys was associated with the trip of the astrologers, it is not logical that God led them to Jesus. If not God, then who did? It must have been Satan the Devil,
Herefollows a few quotes from the NWT :
[Luke 2:15 NWT] So when the angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another: "Let us by all means go clear to Beth'le·hem and see this thing that has taken place, which Jehovah has made known to us."
[Matthew 2:2 NWT]saying: "Where is the one born king of the Jews? For we saw his star [when we were] in the east, and we have come to do him obeisance."
[Luke 2:9 NWT] And suddenly Jehovah's angel stood by them, and Jehovah's glory gleamed around them, and they became very fearful.
Whose star was it? His = Jesus'
Who gave them the message ? God through his angel
is the following statement a lie ,or in the light of the feb 1st 2007 watchtower article "why be truthful", is it just an untruth?.
tremorsinhumansociety.
4 from the mid-1870s, jehovahs people had been anticipating that catastrophic events would start in 1914 .
...and this one regarding the change to 1914.
When I see it, I reminds me of the Sept 2006 KM re Revelation Climax changes.

I cant find the quotes at the moment, but it is also a lie about 606. Russell knew about the error in 606/607 prior to 1914, and so was not sure whether the end would come in 1914 or 1915. There was conflict in the magazines as sometimes it stated 1915 and sometimes 1914. After 1914 the magazines for the next 12 months used the date 1915 consistently.
Is this the one that you meant?
