Why is ok to copy the FLOCK book and not CoC?

by cyberjesus in

ok so both books are copyrighted, bottleofwater just asked to get a copy of coc a book that would save his life.

however when he asked for a copy he got replies that called him a thieve and many other things.

however when copying the new flock book many here copy the book and pass it along and not many say the same thing..... so i wonder what do you think?

The PDF of CoC and ISoCF are available for about less than $10 download at

http://www.commentarypress.com

The KS10 PDF is an abomination by WTS standards, which makes it fun to download and share.

:-)

I urge anyone who hasn't read them yet to spend the minimal download fee and read Ray Franz's books!

KS10- Chapter One Discussion

by yknot in

first and foremost i want to thank all the brothers (and one or two sisters) who were pdfing like mad to get these 'pre-kingdom school' chapter reviews ready (as per boe ltr these are 1,2,4-7,9 & 11)!.

for those of you trying to see who could do the entire book i want to let you know we had a 'dark horse' enter this race and his email was so compelling he is our 'winner' in being responsible for the full book (forthwith coming in the next day or so)-- and i will reveal more about him (as per his wishes) then.. so lets not waste anymore time in reviewing chapter one of the 'shepheding the flock of god' published by the wts (a non-profit organization whose purpose of this publication like all others is provided as part of a worldwide bible educational work.

3 subheadings.

VM44: "Files placed online after 4 or 5 PM EST stand a good chance of remaining online until the next morning!"

Heh, I can just see some Bethelite given the special duty of staying up all night long now to make sure the links get taken down!

Well, let's put it to the test, people who downloaded Yknots link file uploads, please make them available for download, let's see if these take until the morning to be brought down, maybe the WTS needs to wait until the file hosting company's business hours too.

NIV, RSV & ASV part of the Anti-Christ

by Joey Jo-Jo in

seen this on youtube, according to the original greek translation (not the kingdom interlinear) these words from the kjv are missing.???.

Yeah, what the guy in the video doesn't say is that the KJV's English text based on [Textus Receptus / Stephanus / Byzantine Majority / Orthodox Church] codices are more recent than the Wescott & Hort sources [Alexandrian (Nestle, et al. texts based on Vaticanus and Sinaiticus)] which by the way in the last century older texts have been found which support the Wescott & Hort recensions.

So the real problem isn't who dared take verses out and make changes to the KJV, but who dared insert verses and change meanings in the original Greek texts? That should be the question. What were they trying to prove with all those inserted verses, like at 1 John 5:7? Well, it's pretty obvious that they wanted to proofs for the doctrine of the trinity.

The CONSCIOUS CLASS what does it mean to you, and do you consider yourself one of them?

by cattails in

there's a few posts where the term "conscious class" has been in just recently.. i'm wondering if it means the same to most jws and exjws who post here.. what does the "conscious class" mean to you?.

ok, no funny business about 'being conscious' as in awake and fully cafeinated.. if you could answer the two questions it may help some here to understand what.

this term is a lot better.

I've grown up with two very distinct groups of JW young people.

One group who was leading a sort of double life, fully into the things of the world,

and another group of do-gooders who wanted to please parents and KH folks and

who thrived on positive attention. Unfortunately I had too much negative attention

forced on me, because I did draw attention and liked the confrontation. I was always

the dramatic one, the one to blow it all out of proportion and to make a big fuss about

any real or perceived injustice or unequal application of the rules.

As I've grown up a lot more and don't desire so much attention, negative that is,

I've learned to understand the non-conformist youths a lot more and to also

see through the double-faced do-gooder masks other youths had.

They were all pretty much leading a double life, they had to, but some were

more obvious and some knew how to hide it better.

There are some who grow up to be uber-witnesses but these are the minority.

Quite a few of the young ones in my home congregation just gave up, disappeared

and today they're not even spoken of, their memory is forgotten, as if they died.

It is sad to think that so many still keep in touch through facebook that would

otherwise never have any other contact with each other because some fell away

or never got baptized and went on with their lives and some remained in the

"congregation." Facebook is quite an eye opener, and you get to see that

most young Witnesses are like any other young kids around, except more

sheltered and more desperate to find who they really are as people. This is

a different type of consciousness, isn't it?

WT December 15, 2010

by Designer Stubble in

wt december 15, 2010. snippets from this watchtower are below.

keeping in mind that all articles are written with an agenda, to address problems in the organization or to pave the way for new guidelines, look at what i highlighted.

my conclusions are:.

cattails

I personally like to go to the restroom to "stretch my legs" at least once during the Public Talk and again during the WT study. Why go during the song and have to wait in line?

Besides, I love to visit in the second school/Library with young moms who's poor little ones can't sit through the mind numbingness of the repetitive talks at the KH.

The Governing Body just doesn't know what they're missing. Haters!

Does anybody actually prefer Bing?

i find that it can't even carry google's jockstrap..

cattails

Right on Yknot! Hah hah!

I agree with you wholeheartedly.

If left without Google I'd use Yahoo!

That would include their webmail features too.

I love Gmail and Yahoo!'s email too, but Hotmail/MSN/Livemail gives me the creeps.

Microsoft seems to be trying to imitate everyone else, and their hotmail is starting to act like Facebook.

The Rise of the Conscious Class

"i believe in one god, and no more; and i hope for happiness beyond this life.

i believe the equality of man, and i believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy.

but, lest it should be supposed that i believe many other things in addition to these, i shall, in the progress of this work, declare the things i do not believe, and my reasons for not believing them.
