  ks10-e (official release), Letter from Bro. who scanned it! Newer version with BOE LTRs

  by yknot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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].

  DMCA Complaint from The WatchTower for links to KS-10 'Shepherding' book

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  yes, that's right, they really do not like people being able to read that book so they wanted links to it removed (it appears they have also been going after the hosts of the content itself as well).. unfortunately, i had to removed the links (which were dead anyway when i checked) and i'd ask that people don't re-post them (sorry).

  i'm sure there are lots of alternative ways for those with the information to get it to those who need it.. here are the discussions on the book:.

  lady Lee CORRECTLY pointed out that the WTBTS has the copyright on the book.

  Correct

  It is ILLEGAL to distribute the book in its entirity without their permission.

  Correct

  Why dont posters show the same disregard for copyright by distributing CDs, and novels here for free??

  Becuse music doesn't affect my life and hasn't controlled my entire existence for 36 years.

  With appropriate legal action they could shut down this very valuable forum for doing such a thing.

  And I will respect Simon's wishes to stop.

  If you must break the law on this, use Wikileaks. One of the Rules of posting here is that you do not do illegal stuff. Yet the posters of the new book are doing just that.

  Good point I agree.

  This talk of "war" by some posters has no more impact on the WT than dancing around in front of NY Bet hell in your underwear "giving them the finger" through the window.

  Not the same, the org controlling this book, is the same that is controlling the bible by claiming absolute authority in interpertation.

  Why not discuss relevant sections using necessary quotes that follow the law on "fair use"?

  Because if I can't show the scanned copy to my family they won't belive the WTS could ever publish such garbage.

  what is brazen conduct according to the watchtower?.

  here are some references from the new flock book:.

  they have really pushed the envelope to bundle a bunch of things into one really evil word.

  FHN, I also thought that was intersting, it clearly says abbhorent pornographgy.

  so non- sadistic torture, non-bondage,
  non-gang rape, non- brutalizing should be fine!

  KS10- Chapter One Discussion

  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.

  booby, what I want to know is when they were spending so much effort and money to restore it, yet Armageddon was always right around the corner, shouldn't I have picked up on that?

  Yeah, I didn't want to say it, you got it on the first post.

  Silly me, I thought that Jehovah was a 12th century transliteration, but this whole time the Israelites were already using it!
