Why do the campaigns bring out more publishers? Because those events are dumbed-down to make it easy for them. Here is your free tract with no long presentation to remember. It helps bring up the witnessing numbers for the WTS.

Sad to read that he died so young from heart complications. He was so light-hearted and fun to watch.

North Korea - U.S - War ?

I think N Korea will attack S Korea like in the past, not attack the U.S. Even S. Korea is not bothered by all the talk, because this has been heard before. But this time S. Korea says they will return an attack if N. Korea attacks them. So maybe it can grow.

There are really TWO Watchtower Societies
by Terry inwith cedars release of leaked watchtower new light "adjusting" understanding of "who" the faithful and discreet slave is.....i am struck by something which similarly struck me back in 1967.in 1967 i had just been imprisoned.
being a male jehovah's witness during the viet nam war meant certain "issues" arose affecting a decision to respond to the military draft.i have told the story before.
but, i'd like go at it from another angle in view of the above mentioned new light about the fds fora different reason.it was first in 1967 i began to discover that there are two watchtower societies.let me explain why i say this and for what reasons.first of all, anybody standing in a kingdom hall or sitting in a seat at a vast international assembly saw people they would identify as all on the same page.

Thanks Terry for the insight. I came to realize a problem only when I became an elder. When the WTS stated to never mention to anyone that the Legal Dept was ever consulted for certain matters, then I knew that their was a private and public Watchtower organization. That greatly disturbed me and they wanted me to lie to protect them. I would say that the majority of the flock never knew or cared to know about this division. The other thing that bothered me was when "new light" changed established knowledge, yet many individuals never questioned it, but just blindly and happily followed the revised information. It was really sick when the WTS could say that the end would come around 1975, yet years later, the majority of the flock would say that the WTS never said anything like that.

Are The Governing Body Being Set Up To Take A Fall?
by DT inthe governing body's decision to declare themselves the faithful and discreet slave appears pretty arrogant and presumptuous.
since most of us regard the governing body as arrogant and presumptuous, it's easy to conclude that is the reason that they did this.. what if something else is going on?.
remember when steven unthank was able to get the faithful and discreet slave charged in australia for failing to comply with the working with children act?

Even if the GB was sued and lost, the winner would come up empty handed. The GB have no personal financial resources. They could easily fall as scape-goats for the organization if need be with little financial loss.

Sounds like going to another country is an excellent opportunity. The CO and elders can't follow you there. Hope the best to you in your move.
