in depth interview with c.t.russell and joseph franklin rutherford *.
q: how do you wish to be called; mr.russell...dr.russell, pastor russell?.
russell: for many years i served as a pastor although i never darkened the doorway of an institution of theology for purposes of obtaining certification in the mindset of christendom.. rutherford: you can call me judge or you can call me joe as long as you call me for supper!
That story is so great that I allowed myself to translate it into German:

Unfortunately I could not find a German equivalent for the Diana Ross wordplay =)
so i talked to my dear aunt who is disfellowshipped but still has to interact with my elderly jw witness and masquerading jw aunt (really doesn't agree with the jw doctrine, but lives with my grandmother to take care of her) and she told me that there are now two watchtowers published, one that they use for congregation and the other for their "field service".. why do you suppose they are really doing that?
is it because they are trying to keep things from the public eyes?
i was really surprised to hear that..
IMO the major reason is to conceal unattractive doctrines from the public.
Brochure: "God will do away with the wicked."
Public Watchtower: "God will do away with all people who do not obey him."
Internal Watchtower: "God will do away with all people who do not obey the Governing Body."
should christians drink water?.
how refreshing it can be to satisfy oneself with a cold beverage on a warm day!
many christians choose to do this after a long day of zealous kingdom preaching.
They stole it from us!
Well, not really. After all, I stole the idea from someone else.
Anyway, I already covered the same topic in the February 2008 Our Boredom Ministry:

To my knowledge, Elvis is the King of Rock'n'Roll. So, Santa (the King of the North), St. Nicolas (the King of the South) and Elvis (the King of Rock'n'Roll) are together the Three Kings from Matthew 2 ...

No, the King of the South is Saint Nicolas, who is from Turkey.

could a man with long hair and a scruffy face make it up to elder status?.
ive seen some a list actors with long hair and beards at award shows.
they looked sexy, mature, and profesional.. think a guy like that could make it?.
The dress code for the kingdom hall is clear explained on the new WT cover:
if you want to skip to the new light or understanding, its underlined for you pleasure.
i think some will find this interesting.
we had the co tonight.
Matt 25:31 Jesus said when the son of man, kingly throne 1914. The CO said we have NEW UNDERSTANDING or new light. Previously we had thought the throne talked about in matt 25:31, Jesus had already took that throne in 1914. The new idea is that he hasn't taken that throne yet. This is kind of odd to me because how many thrones could Jesus have? He said that Jesus has two thrones one he took in 1914 and one he will take in the future. I presume he will take his second throne sometime around armageddon.
This is no new light. If the CO said that "previously we had thought the throne talked about in matt 25:31, Jesus had already took that throne in 1914", then he didn't read the Oct 15 1995 Watchtower (page 22 par. 25):
This means, then, that Jesus’ ‘sitting down on his glorious throne’ for judgment, mentioned at Matthew 25:31, applies to the future point when this powerful King will sit down to pronounce and execute judgment on the nations.
