YOU KNOW IT'S THE TRUTH BECAUSE, THE WATCHTOWER TELLS YOU IT IS
by elm inthe study editionof the watchtower for september 15th 2010, p13 states "similarly today, a governing body composed of spirit-anointed christians contributes to the unity of the worldwide congregation.
the governing body publishes spiritually encouraging literature in many languages.
this spiritual food is based on god's word.

As long as it's placed on the "easement" (section near the sidewalk or curb) - it is not officially on THEIR property.

Your first reading of the REVELATION: IT'S GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND publication that mentions how the prophecy of the seven trumpets were fulfilled by the talk from Judge Rutherford at the Ceder Point, OH convention in 1922 ... and you roll your eyes in disgust.

I'm one of the EVIL SLAVE
by Amazing inbasd on my comment to another post titled "1979," i thought that this would make an interesting separate topic.. a little history: many here are aware that i was an ms and then elder and of the anointed while a jw.
i openly professed anointing for 20-years of the 27-years i was associated with the watchtower.
since that time, i have totally and completely renounced all but one watchtower doctrine.

Jim, I agree with alot that you said concerning Jesus Christ. Why do you suppose the origins of the Watchtower gave worship to Christ, but later decided He should not be worshiped? What is your opinion about the Memorial now with 99.9% of the Jehovah's Witnesses rejecting the offering of Christs body? Finally, when did you come to the conclusion that "the Word was with God and the Word was God"?

Change in meeting attendance procedure - can't figure out why though
by sir82 inper a recent letter to elders:.
beginning september 1, there will be a change to the way attendance is recorded at congregation meetings.. currently, attendance is counted at 4 of the 5 meeting (public talk, wt study, congregation "bible" study, and service meeting).. but after sept. 1, meeting attendance will only be taken at 2 of the meetings - during the "first quarter" of the wt study, and also at the cbs.. .
no reason in given for the change in the letter, and i can't figure out why myself.. the numbers are not published anywhere - the only "official" record is a 6 month average the co puts together during his visit.. why request less information from the congregations, especially when it "costs" nothing to accumulate it in the first place?

After the Public Talk, my wife and I would sneak out during the song. WT Study was always boring with too many windbags that couldn't keep their answers short and brief.
