can anyone compile a list of as many as possible past and present co/do's from the uk?
Can't believe nobody has mentioned Athony Kendall ... (hated to be called Tony). Wife was called Brenda. Never fully undertood him.
Played squash with him every visit and was the most competitive CO I ever came across! Probably didn't help that I beat him... he shouldn't have spent so long in FS rather than playing squash
i am darned if i can find it in all my files!
i saw it, saved it, lost it.. not in an elders manual, not in letters to elders as far as i can see.. but i am pretty sure the wording was close to my title wording.. any takers???.
oz.
"Oneness" - how I hated that word. What was wrong with "unity"?
i use usualusername as i am not creative enough to think of anything sexier.... .
what significance is there behind your profile name?.
.
That I never fully understood the ramifications of using a common understanding of "Hotspur" (football/soccer) rather than that of the Boy's comic I loved when I was a kid (too long)! Or the researched understanding of the pugnacious, impetuous and foolish General Hotspur!
Well said!
i know that the section on last days is no where close to correct anymore with the 'overlapping generation' change, i am sure there are other discrepancies as well with the book.
shouldn't there be a new version of this coming out (or even better for those of us who are trying to find changes a 'change list' like what was done with the 'grand climax' book)?.
It's The Truth™ - nothing should need to change! Yeah, right.
i had to write some text about my observations at last sunday's watchtower study... .
the curious case of the 2012 year text watchtower article.
the march 4 study article of the watchtower lay the foundations of the 2012 year text of jehovah's witnesses: "your word is truth.
This seems to come from the recent questions raised on a number of internet sites... who are the "continuing members of the GB since the 1 century?" It seems that somebody is anwering their critics (what are they doing on sites they ban others from using?)
Interesting to note the use of the term "annointed wheat class". Where's that come from? Who are the weeds now then? Where does that leave the R & F? There is a thread on here somewhere that somebody started regarding the same thing.
an appendix in the book contains some 120 questions along with hundreds of scriptural "proof texts" that the proselyte is then expected to study.
12 jesus commanded his followers to baptize new disciples in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit.
the following quotation shows what the proselyte is expected to study just prior to baptism:.
They've come a long way from the question asked by the Ethopian Eunoch, "There's a body of water, what prevents me from being baptized?"
Well, are you regular in Service? How long have you studied? You need to consider the questions at the end of this book?.... Any more?

Anyone want to bet that the latest version was written by WT lawyers to ensure that JWs have committed themselves to the ORGANIZATION and all its policies and procedures so they can't successfully sue the organization when they are disciplined by the elders (including shunning for people who DA or are DFd)?
Would that mean anybody baptized before 1985 could attempt to sue and stand a chance of being more successful than later dunkings?
how do you feel about that ?were you misled (again) after all these years ?
this article from the newspaper in the latrobe area reffering to steven unthanks case is truly disturbing.
its an affront and an insult to any and everyone who has participated in the ministry of jehovah`s witnesses over many, many years.talk about being thrown to the wolves.how low can this organization go in saving face at the expense of those whose loyalty and devotion is discarded for a perceived image.absolutely shocking.
I remember those ID badges. I think they disappeared around the mid 90's.
One thing sticks in my mind was that they did, at one time, double up as "No Blood" cards as well. I think the "No Blood" bit was printed on the reverse. It was like a double whammy, you just couldn't NOT have the one without the other!
"You want to be ID'd as a JW? Then you can't have any blood products - Here's your badge!"

Hey... sizemik - don't forget the Christian Congergation of Jehovah's Witnesses doesn't exist either, or maybe that was just in Australia!
