Has anyone seen this Watchtower article before?
by T.F. inhi, my first post here.
i stumbled across something in the watchtower 1981 magazine (in my wbts library cd) showing the faithful and discreet slave is "a composite individual".
i have never seen this anywhere before, but the wbts set-up of the fds as "a composite individual" looks somewhat similar to the trinity of three divine persons in one true god.

The Reason Why Jehovah's Witnesses Have No Real Hope
by minimus inthe majority of witnesses were taught that the end was just around the corner, that millions now living will never die.
they believed that this generation would by no means pass away until all things were fulfilled within their lifetime.. jehovah's witnesses were suckered!
they bought into everlasting life and never dying.

To realize their religion is based on a pyramid of premises that are fallacies would require rational, objective thinking and rational, objective thinking is not an ability or activity I can identify with when I think of believing Jehovah's Witness people I know personally.
I'm not saying believing Witnesses are stupid, but I have had the thought that Wallkill, Patterson, and Brooklyn communes might be depriving more than a few villages of their idiots. -

As a JW Did you Feel you Could Fully Trust the Elders ?
by flipper ini know for many of the 44 years i was in the jw cult from birth - i felt i could.
or should i say i was conditioned to feel that " i should " trust the elders.
as jehovah's witnesses we were all told the elders were " crags in a waterless country " who would be a " spiritual stronghold " for us.

You wrote: "these people are freakin wordwizards!!!"In these parts we call that sort of people "polecats". "Polecat" is a nice word for lyin' crook. Deception is any other business except religion is called fraud.

Proclaimers chap. 10 p. 137 Growing in Accurate Knowledge of the Truth
As the events following 1914 began to unfold and the Bible Students compared these with what the Master had foretold, they gradually came to appreciate that they were living in the last days of the old system and that they had been since 1914. They also came to understand that it was in the year 1914 that Christ's invisible presence had begun and that this was, not by his personally returning (even invisibly) to the vicinity of the earth, but by his directing his attention toward the earth as ruling King. -

To "condone" simply means to forgive. What's a sin about forgiving? I thought Christian philosophy assumed forgiveness.

Bossert possibly not sold after all.
by toreador inhttp://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/31/19/31_19_bossert_sold.html.
bossert sold?by gersh kuntzmanthe brooklyn paperthe hotel bossert, the swanky montague street accommodation that was the site of the dodgers knock-down, drag-out world series victory party in 1955 and, more recently, a jehovahs witnesses dormitory, has apparently been sold.. then again, no ones talking.. brownstoner.com, a real-estate web site, reported that developer robert a. levine had bought the 224-unit hotel from the watchtower bible and tract society for upwards of $100 million.. but both entities denied the report.. its not true, witness spokesman richard devine told the brooklyn paper.
the hotel has not yet been sold.. repeated calls to levines ral companies and affiliates were not returned.. if levine has indeed bought the bossert, it would mark the second high-profile deal between his company and the witnesses.
