has anyone found differences between watchtower articles found in bound volumes and its corresponding one in the watchtower cd?.
or between different versions of the watchtower cd's..
Jan 1 1989 Watchtower pg12 and the Bound volume later in the year had a very significant change...
WT: "He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century"
BV: "He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our day"
Truth book had a reprint change as well between the 1968 and the 1981 revision in the before and after 1975 hype
Millenial dawn had a pretty good change new light between the 1902 and 1924 editions.

first of all let me say that i choked!
i choked because i told myself if they came back that i would have a field day!
didn't happen.
You didnt choke in my opinion.
Just letting rip with ton of verbal apostasy wont do a scrap of good. I aim, on the rare visits i get, to just have them walk away with one or two things to think about.
she will have gone away winded that the public out there are investigating them...and it aint good and the kids (depending on age) may well go away wondering WHY they are not allowed to look in other places...

that is quite a hit.
it had sold a few ago for $100m but that fell through.
What did they pay for it?
renovations cost but the slave volunteers that did the work wouldn't have cost much.

obviously you 'cared' about whitney's death, a horrible tragedy, enough to rally the troops and send a district overseer no less, to give the funeral talk.. do you care enough about the 20 poor jw's that died in that tragic truck cum bus accident in nigeria?
who will you be sending to the funerals?
what demonstration of the great brotherly love will you do for them?.
Well will you?

Do you care enough about the 20 poor JW's that died in that tragic truck cum bus accident in Nigeria? Who will you be sending to the funerals? What demonstration of the great brotherly love will you do for them?
Or is it a case of 'damage control' in Whitney's case and 'time and unforseen occurance' for your african faithful?

fresh out of the jw.org website http://www.jw.org/en/news/by-region/world/jehovahs-witnesses-office-consolidation/ .
the society as from september 2012 is closing 20 branches worldwide .the best bit is the last paragraph :.
workers are available to spend more time preachingbecause of the mergers, qualified ministers who had been serving in small branches can now concentrate on preaching the good news.. a witness in africa, who was reassigned to the preaching activity, wrote: "adjusting my lifestyle to suit the new circumstances was a challenge during the first few months.
That sucks...
so a person or couple give up jobs and possesions to slave for the printing corporation, then are expected to preach fulltime or something and fend for themselves? the Bethel allowance may not have been much but it's more than they might get otherwise...

newsno supreme court review of ban on jehovah's witnesses magazines in russiacontextban on jehovah's witnesses magazines validatedjehovah's witnesses magazines ban challenged by distributorwatchdog's ban on distributing jehovah's witnesses magazines affirmedtags: telecommunications, federal service for supervision of communications, the ninth commercial court of appeals, russia, moscow13:18 29/10/2012moscow, october 29 - rapsi.
the supreme commercial court will not be reviewing the lower court's ruling prohibiting the distribution of two jehovah's witnesses magazines, the watchtower and awake!, the court's spokesperson told the russian legal information agency (rapsi/rapsinews.com) on monday.. on april 6, 2010, the federal service for supervision of communications, information technology and mass media (roskomnadzor) annulled the permission to distribute the aforementioned magazines in russia issued in 1997 by the state committee for press after some of the content was declared extremist.. in february, the ninth commercial court of appeals upheld the federal service's ban on publishing and distributing the magazines.. the court thus dismissed the appeal filed by wachtturm bibel- und traktat-gesellschaft, deutscher zweig, e.v, the legal entity which holds the license to the magazines, and the jehovah's witnesses administrative center responsible for their distribution.. the religious organization requested to reconsider the ruling, but the supreme commercial court found no grounds for this.. the roskomnadzor representative said that the organization is carrying outs its activity outside russia and it is not subject to russian laws regulating the enterprises activity.. jehovah's witnesses is an international religious organization.
I guess the Russians believe that just because something can be said does not mean it should be said.
And lo! The WT and Awake! do not have the right in Russia to say whatever the crap they want and get away with it.
