Hawkaw many thanks.
Messenger, thanks too.
Now, bttt.
on january 24, 2002 the interim head of the department of public information responded to my letter requesting disclosure of the watchtower file.
even though dpi still refuses to give me the file, they did present some more facts on criteria for association.
also dpi provides what their dpi committee alerted the wts too in the committee's 1992 letter of accreditation to the wts.. there was a delay in posting due to the fact that the dpi sent a wrong brochure to me that accompanied the letter.
Hawkaw many thanks.

A Norwegian was strolling through the farm yard one day when he gazed down to find himself ankle deep in manure.
"Good heavens," he exclaimed, "I'm MELTING!"
How many Norwegians does it take to milk a cow? Ten.....four to hold onto the faucets and the other six to lift the cow up and down.
O:"Do ya know da difference between a Norvegian and a canoe?"
L:"No, I don't"
O:"A canoe will sometimes tip,"

LADIES ARE REQUESTED NOT TO HAVE CHILDREN IN THE BAR
quote from page 13, paragraph 17:.
"..jehovah's witnesses never coerce anyone into baptism.".
same page 13, paragraph 19 - new subheading:.
When they make statements like that, then they're defending a position, or saying something they don't believe so it'll just sound true.
here are scans of the "advance medical directive" (blood card) for 2001 and 2002. also shown is the "identity card" for minors for 2002.. note that the watchtower society cancelled distribution of the 2002 cards, and instructed that jws use the 2001 card until further notice.. card for 2001, page 2:.
card for 2002, page 2:.
card for 2002, page 1:.

Greetings Kent.
Did you see my mail?
does anyone have a link or info on how many times the dubs beliefs have changed on whether or not those destroyed at sodom and gomorrah will be resurrected?

Thanks very much, AlanF. These are the cards they didn't distribute, what I'd been looking for. An elder denied they were ever printed, he denied the insertion of the 'allogenic' word, argued the Society would never do it. It's clear enough that there's been a lot of lying.
Thank you Alan. Thanks.
as already stated here, participant on german board http://www.infolink-forum.de collected snailmail adresses of elders and kingdom halls and informed them about the watchtower's uno relationship.
this happened just before the kms.
now the wts has written a letter to all bodies of elders in germany:.
GermanJW: please do the translation of the rest of the letter. There's some mention of 'library' and stuff in the letter...

An easy way? Probably not. People who believe in the Rapture tend to be 'fundamentalist' and over-literal in their interpretation of Scripture.Fine reasoning by an appointed elder in the Christian Congregation! But one that seems to be suffering from selective amnesia. 'Fundamentalist' and 'over-literal in interpretation' is what the JW religion is all about. Saying there's only one bible verse that refers to it in the bible is really enlightening. How many verses talk about the 'Faithful and 'Discreet Slave'? As for the fine January 15 1993 Watchtower, that must be a huge joke...However, I would ply them with questions to see just what they mean by "the Rapture." What is its purpose? What does it accomplish? What does the Bible say about it? How important is it? (There is only one verse in the whole Bible that mentions it, and not by that name.)
The Reasoning book has some excellent questions -- for those who are willing to reason -- to draw people out on this subject. (pages 312-317) Also, you might check the WT Library CD, as there have been articles on this subject in the magazines. For example, there are two fine articles on the Rapture in the January 15, 1993 Watchtower magazine.
