i speak semi-regularly to an old friend of mine who i would describe as a super-dub.. he knows i am inactive but over the years i have peppered him with a lot of questions about the org.
that i hoped would make him at least pause and think somewhat rationally about the reality of being a jw in this brave new- post gb 2.0 world.. we have discussed everything from the generation changes, to the u.n. , failed prophecy, flip flops, the reduction in size of the wt magazine, the closing/ consolidation of bethels including lay-offs, jw broadcasting, cart witnessing- etc, etc.. what do i mean by super-dub?
he is a born-in, has missionary parents, he reg.
'' One of his favourite sayings is, 'to question the GB, is to question Jehovah'. ( I know right)
maybe remind him...

Well done....$5 is a real bargain of course. but they ain't worth as much as they used to be.
I'm curious though , is it a 1917, or a 1918.. ?
the 1917 is better to have, but if so, then check for the missing pages 247-253
i've done a good deal of posting in my brief 24 hours here so far, figured i might as well provide a slightly more in depth narrative.

from one ' old white dude '.........
years ago on one of my last witnessing trips i left two magazines with an intelligent looking woman with a lovely house.
she gave my a donation and we carried on.
after 45 minutes she tracked us down at another house and returned the mags to me saying we "hate homosexuals and are preaching hatred..." she looked very upset and i was shocked by this and because someone actually bothered to read the magazines i just left!
rip march 16, 1926 to aug.20, 2017 he was too conservative for me about a few things but he was my biologicalmother and you never forget a woman like that.

please proof read the draft and comment any edits, corrects or changes of any kind needed.
also i need help with the cover page, what the title should be and plain text or whatnot, whatever would be more appealing to a jw to get them to open and read.. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0b2s6sigyikwhmglhqk5fcmxwzwc/view?usp=sharing.
@ vienne..

Well that makes it tough, as the WT position on theological issues change like the wind.....

@ vienne.........
Some years ago there were rumors of a photo allegedly showing Russell in Masonic robes. Those who claim to have seen it refuse to produce it, claiming to have been sworn to secrecy....
I'm curious, is this the secret picture of which you speak....?
A close look at it clearly shows that the Head is a cut and paste job.
I doubt many would have fallen for this, if this is the correct pic.

Sorry, I keep finding more , just on page 4.
So maybe it just needs a complete re-read when you have the time.
Can you run spell check over it, to fix a few bugs ?

from page 4...
The “Faithful and Discreet Slave”
.... that Matthew 24:45-47 is the poof text to show that the Governing Body is that Faithful and Discreet Slave:
In my part of the world, a poof is a homosexual .......
