while an earlier version was made available privately the time has come to 'progress'.. conscious class and ex both strongly adhere to not keeping things 'hidden' in regards to wts publications, talks and documents which are circulated in order to maintain it's position.. another wonderful poster (who has yet to give me permission to name) has 'reduced' and 'bookmarked' the first full copy link i was given by our 'winner'.. in this newest and final 'clean' copy link you find two other additions besides the reduction/bookmarking..... the brother who uploaded the entire book wishes all to have a copy that includes both boe ltrs (pre-ks ltr and spiral binding ltr).
also another development has occurred.... the brother responsible for this book being brought into light and put forth for public consumption and discussion has requested i post this letter explaining to 'us' (jwn posters/global audience) and 'them' (wts of penn & ny).. i ask you give attention to his words/ experiences as he is representative of a newly emerging demographic within the conscious class.
so without further ado i give you his link and the 'stage' if you will to 'brother johnson'....... [link removed - contact ynot for further info - lady lee].
Thanx brother, I hope you will find peace. I pray for you.

jehovah's witnesses: a model for church and state begin blogger thumbs end blogger thumbs by joel p. engardio.
if i'm ever allowed to legally marry, my mother won't attend my wedding.. i'm a gay man and my mom is one of jehovah's witnesses.
to remain true to her faith, she can't in good conscience be part of a same-sex marriage celebration.
Knocking is a marketing product of the watchtower society. The organization is fully backing it, watch the credits of the documentary and the booklet.
Jolene Chu en James Pelechia are coproducer s of the director Engardio.
A gay is ok if it fits the propaganda of the watchtower society.

this week, we had the co visit in our kingdom hall.
the greatest fun was: nobody could sing the new kingdom songs.
they just were humming the song.

not sure if this was previously posted...but how many partakers were there this year?
thoughts on if they are headed to making this number symbolic while still stressing earthly hope?
or simply leaving it as a literal number and claiming both groups gathered concurrently throughout time?
Here, in the Netherlands the total number of visitors of the memorial 2010
30.000 instead of 40.000 in 2009. Significant difference in one year: - 10.000.
If there are less visitors at the memorial, could we say there are less partakers?

here are some highlights from the 2010 annual meeting;.
branch overseers/representatives from around the world gave greetings from their branch and gave some encouraging experiences from the field.
Since childhood I wondered reading in the magazines about these yearly Watchtower stockholders assembly about: are these the people with power? They do vote people for WTS management positions and strategy. I think 100 percent votes with the voting advise.
But I wondered that some witness are more witness than others (...)

it changed.. i remember when the secretary of the congregation informed my father secretly about the times magazine article on raymond franz in 1982.. i remember the heated discussions in the family about the new dissfellowship rules +/- 1980. .
i remember the release of the revelation book in +/- 1987 (presented on a way the end was coming and very near!).
i remember the 1995 change of this generation doctrine.

I remember the switch from bible articles to strict organizational articles in the magazines
I remember the teaching "Say the bible says... and don't say The society says..."
The Watchtower society changed it in an organizational money machine
And then the internet came and made it public
