I saw this in a shop today... I had to get a bottle and log in to JWD whilst drinking a glass !
It was about £ 7.00 a bottle 14 / 15 dollars ?
What do you reckon.... poison ?

Of course the WBTS monitor the JWDs, in many different ways. They have readers that scan what is going on from "IP Hidden" or "Dynamic IP" sources. Also about 3 years ago they had some ex CIA types in (called the plumbers)come and installed a ALPHA programme called "Carnivore".
Can I just say from the start that this has absolutely NOTHING to do with me !!!!
Thanks for the info, interesting...

From the "Truth That Leads To Eternal Life" (1968)
This is the only occurance of "Faithful and Discreet Slave" that I can find :
APPRECIATION OF THE TRUE CHURCH AND ITS FOUNDATION
15
The members of the true church under Christ their head are said to become “Abraham’s seed,heirs with reference to a promise.” (Galatians 3:29) This promise is that all others of obedient
mankind will bless themselves through Christ and his congregation. (Genesis 22:18) The Bible
foretold that, at the time of the establishment of Christ’s kingdom, there would be only a remnant
of these children of the “Jerusalem above,” God’s heavenly organization, left on earth. (Galatians
4:26; Revelation 12:10, 17) Jesus described these members of his church on earth as a “faithful
and discreet slave.” And he said that such ones who were found faithfully serving at the time of
his coming to his judgment work would be appointed “over all his belongings,” that is, over all the
earthly interests of Christ’s kingdom. They would take the lead in the preaching of the good news
of the established Kingdom to all the nations in the “time of the end.”—Matthew 24:14, 45-47;
25:19-23.
16
All those today who hope to gain eternal life in God’s new system need to recognize thisarrangement. For Jesus said that, in this “time of the end,” he separates to a position of favor
those doing good to the remaining ones on earth of his “brothers,” his joint heirs who make up the
Christian congregation. (Matthew 25:31-40) These are the remaining ones of the “living stones”
that are built up into a spiritual house or temple, “a place for God to inhabit by spirit.” (1 Peter 2:5;
Ephesians 2:20-22) Those ‘doing good’ to the members of this temple class are described in the
book of Revelation as a “great crowd” of persons who come under God’s protection. Note, too,
that they gladly serve God “day and night in his temple,” that is, in association with the remnant of
the spiritual temple class, the Christian congregation.—Revelation 7:9, 10, 15.
17
These sheeplike persons say, in effect, to the heirs of the promise made with Abraham: “Wewill go with you people, for we have heard that God is with you people.” (Zechariah 8:23) Even as
those of the true church or congregation faithfully walk in Christ’s footsteps and proclaim the
Kingdom message, so likewise these sheeplike ones ‘go with them,’ serving God right along with
them. Are you doing that? If so, you have the prospect of receiving eternal life on earth, along
with all the other blessings that will flow from Christ and his glorified congregation in the heavens.

thought it might get your attention, thats why.
I assume that is a response to this question...
Just a thought, but if the guy wasn't a JW when he abused all those children... then why did your post have this heading :
So you have no problem with writing a "headline" that states something that (thanks to your new "facts") you believe to be untrue about this man ?
Doesn't that make you worse than the newspapers ?

he may indeed be a rich man after the court case, i dont know, what bothers me is that jus making a comment on him makes me an accesory.apparantly making a stand for some1 who is already condemend inthe eyes of the world n u r shot down in flames. what i didnt realise is that making a spelling mistake makes you a figure of ridicule within the ranks of ex j,w,s
It doesn't make you an accessory at all. Don't worry about that. All you are doing (and all we are doing) is commenting on current news articles, using the information in them. Is the guy actually worth "making a stand for" ? Whether he was a JW or not at the time.. it still makes him wrong ! It is a relatively easy thing to check on... Infact, I am in the UK, just like you... How about after the Bank Holiday Monday is over, one of us calls the London Bethel and asks ? Will you do it... or shall I ?
