The first time I've ever read anything on how to non conform and not non conform . It's clear they do go beyond what is written so when they do is it time to non conform ? Interesting how they do say that even if something doesn't sound right,coming from the org., to just accept it without any questioning as to the origin , isn't that like not using your trained conscience , so they will only use that whenever the WTBTS says it's ok .HMMMMMM getting a little confused on their intent .

12:2) far from being independent, they are "slaves of corruption," to use the words of the christian apostle peter.

News from downunder - the mystery of the falling tower on 9/11
by ozziepost inappearing in our news today is this item which may, or may not, lay the conspiracy theories to bed.
us investigators solve 9/11 mysteryaugust 22, 2008, 8:32 am.
ap [enlarge photo]us investigators say they have solved the mystery of the collapse of world trade centre building seven in the september 11 attacks.. the 47 storey trapezoid sat north of the world trade centre towers, across vesey street in new york city's lower manhattan.. on september 11, it was set on fire by falling debris from the burning towers, but sceptics have long argued that fire and debris alone should not have brought down such a big steel and concrete structure.. scientists with the national institute of standards and technology say their three year investigation of the collapse determined the demise of wtc seven was actually the first time in the world a fire caused the total failure of a skyscraper.. "the reason for the collapse of world trade centre seven is no longer a mystery," said dr shyam sunder, the lead investigator on the team.. investigators also concluded that the collapse of the nearby towers broke the city water main, leaving the sprinkler system in the bottom half of the building without water.. the building has been the subject of a wide range of conspiracy theories for the last seven years, partly because the collapse occurred about seven hours after the twin towers came down.

could it be that simon was just trying to raise a stir of commotion ? The WTBTS would take off the dancing shoes and put a scowl back on the face ...........LOL We know this place isn't from God but from man ........

Matthew 24:14 fulfilled
by Newborn inyou've probably discussed this a lot already but i started to have serious doubts when they announced that matt 24:14 was fulfilled.
even though in 3 countries, i think, (like afghanistan..) it had not been preached in at all and billions of people elsewhere will never hear about jehovah.
again the answer is probably that jehovah will make the final judgment and he is all justice etc.

I don't think that the good news could have been preached throughout the earth in the apostles day since they new nothing of north and south america and didn't even hit africa , they only got parts of europe and parts of asia . Today I think it's fair to say that most of mankind has had ample opportunity , so if the end did come there would be no reason to say God wasn't fair. I do think there will be greater opportunity in the future , whenever revelation 19 takes place and all militaries and kings are destroyed there may be a transition period from the worldly rule to the heavenly one.IMO

I can see where you are coming from passwordprotected .The only people that think those are, "fine publications", are the WTBTS and some of the witnesses but what I found interesting was the appeal to be obedient to jesus and not a book publishing corporation . As we all know "salvation does not belong to mortal man". I have been going to the meetings and they are still harping on obedience to the corporation so we have a bit of a contrast with this article , the WTBTS makes themselves sound like father , son and holy spirit most of the time .

Interesting how they went from fleeing from unrighteousness to the pursuit of righteousness . I personally believe that godly devotion = righteousness + humility , I did think it interesting how they threw in the let's not take the righteous thing too far and become self righteous as could easily happen and does from what I've seen .At least they stressed obedience to jesus instead of the organization ,perhaps they are learning some humility in brooklyn ?

144,000---do they go through Armageddon?
by cameo-d inis there some scripture that the 144,000 must all be removed or no longer alive before armageddon begins?.
are they supposed to be "taken out of the way" before armageddon begins?.
can someone clarify this for me please?.

My belief is that armageddon started whenever the appointed times of nations concluded and is a battle between the forces of darkness and the light. Jesus chose a church and is directing it whilst satan being cast to earth is fighting against it and using the worlds governments to oppose the preaching and converting work . The 144k are martyrs and are killed by the ax and are the first resurrection , the great crowd are the followers of christ that never die or know death and survive into the kingdom . armageddon ends at ,"the great fear inspiring day of God almighty," whenever the complete destruction of world powers takes place . It is an invisible spiritual battle .

Who do you think the King of The North is?
by Number1Anarchist inlet me know thru your studies who do you think the king of the north is?.
russia or china i'm guessing but that would be a logical choice.. this is my opinion but i think with the united states getting involved in territories that are under control of russia and china is reaching a boiling point and eventually somone is gonna say i have had it i'm not taking this anymore.. i read this also that in a chinese proverb they have a sayin "kill the chicken to frighten the monkey" the chinese beleive the attack on iraq was the chicken and they are the monkey.. now i'm hearing they are or may blockade iran.
if this happens it could be the final straw but maybe not but i think very soon we will see the knig of the north rise up in defiance to the united states.. let me know what you think please!.

I think the king of the north is the US . The king of the north invades asia like the US has done and no other country has a big navy as is mentioned , "many ships". The WTBTS interpretation does in fact leave it so the roles can change at any time . I think it is an end time specific prophesy .

"Ethnic Cleansing"
by minimus init's happening again: russia toward the pro western georgia.. how can a civilized world do such a thing?.

I'm with alex jones on this stuff , all is not what it seems in the US media that is run by big corporations , according to my sources the georgian government started the trouble by ehtnic cleansing and killing some russian peace keepers , I think russia would like to reclain the territory but can't get the "democratically" elected government that is controlled by GW and company to cooperate . Personally I'm waiting for the king of south to appear , it could be russia or china , I still think the US is king of the north , don't care what the WTBTS says about it. There are only a couple of countries left with the kind of military to engage in any kind of pushing over asia .

I also really hate the way they lend money to congregations , they just recently decided not to charge interest ,gee thanks WTBTS . The money they lend is the same money that was donated to pay for the stuff to begin with .Of course the view on education when they won't do much to help people with the ministry anyway is pretty hateful.
