You say AAWA I say AWAA
tomaytoe - tomahto
potaytoe - potahto
let's call the whole thing off :-)

Seriously, some say AAWA and others AWAA, what's up with that?
Typos? Name change again?
looks like the awaa people are here to stay.
i sense they have withered the rentless criticism and now have been refined for the long haul.
they have been washed in the previous blood of jesus christ and declared fit to the fine fight.

this is literally hot off the press as in from about half an hour ago.. we have a friend from nz (who is wavering and knows our situation) and he is on holiday in japan at the moment.
today there was a zone overseer talk that he went to in nagoya (southern japan) and it has just finished up.
straight after the song and still in the stadium he emailed us the info below.
for a while, i thought why would they change this teaching?.
how would it help there agenda?.
then i read the thread, new ray franz?.
the sholarly note appears at

okay we've all beat our chest, lamented and throttled the dead horse of aawa.. time to move on!.
i suggest those of us on j-w.n who care about creating something the right way take the trouble to get the framework going.. let's do the grunt work and get the nattering, debates, naming and organizing already pre-approved so that "others" who have the talent, ability, motivation and resources can move in and turn the key!.
because it was not done before.. there is more wisdom on this discussion board in our vast numbers than there could possibly be in a virtual boardroom with 8 people brain-storming.. that isn't an insult--it is just a statistical fact!.
The idea of demonstrating with signs isn't so appetizing for me.
It makes me think of how the WT loves to say "look how we are persecuted for our beliefs".
I believe the maximum effect is to aim at individuals, carefully.
in my reading there seems to be 2 schools of thought and i am just wondering which one is correct.. (1)watchtower is a multi million dollar corporation that is making its money by fleecing its flock e.g k.h refurbs, giving preference to houses with an insurance cheque under the banner of emergency relief and pocketing the money from volunteer labour.
to a lesser extent (although it wouldnt generate nearly as much money as the 2 examples above), getting kick backs from international conventions,charging for car parking when they got it for free, society approved motels that are grovels in the middle of no where.
i do wonder how they can get away with this under the title of of a charitable trust, and i do at the very least think, this is cheeky.. it is cold and hartless and will roll anyone who gets in its way e.g menlo park elders.
hey joe
I think that it's both. It's a religion run by an oligarchy that is sure of it's righteousness and will do anything that is beneficial to its organization while combatting fiercely anything that may hinder its progress.
The people in charge of it, over the decades, have changed it into a hive mentality organization.
our congregation is rationing regular bibles like they're gold bars.
i was told that bethel is out of stock!
anyone else hear about this?

What do you say?
Terry, the idea of a concerted effort to mail bomb Bethel is good.
It would work out to the advantage of the senders to forward the letters to individuals in the Branches and not just to some department or group, like the Governing Body.
It is more likely, that a Bethelite will open up a letter, realize what kind of a letter it is and yet... intrigued by curiosity read it and be exposed to TTATT.
In order for this to work out well we'd need lists of names or positions in Bethel.
Another idea that may help is sending some of the mail using the type of envelopes that are used for DF/DA forms for the Society, that is those lightblue-greenish envelopes. They get special treatment and aren't opened by your R&F bethelite.

I like your thoughts on this Terry.
TTATT always looked like "pi alpha pi" to me :-)
(i.e. instead of "tau tau alpha tau tau")... TTATT.
It not only stands for "the truth about the truth"
but can also be "the truth about the Tower"
Being in the "Greeks" of the WT, the unwanted
Gentiles, those whose times have ended for the
WT.
As opposed to the JWs who see themselves as
Spiritual Hebrews and bound by the laws of their
lesser Moses Governing Body.
TTATT (pi alpha pi) sort of like PAP... could lend
itself to testing and smearing the Watchtower
Society. (Alright! that was uncalled for)
our new co, who's name sounds something like brother prosboscis, said that the governing body cannot and will not be held bloodguilty because they are advancing new light and that their effort to bring forth "truth" proves they love the "truth".. i couldn't help but think of the false "truth" of blood transfusions and how holding on to this teaching truly makes them gulty and accountable, drenched in the blood sacrifice of innocent victims that believed their false "truth", shame on them for calling falsehood a "truth" and for calling good what is bad.. the governing body of jehovah's witnesses is responsible for the loss of lives due to their teaching their followers to refrain from blood transfusions.
thousands have probably died from following this teaching.. ===============.
those governing body zombies don't want or care about your souls what they really want is your flesh and your blood.. can we have someone with good photoshop skills do an artistic representation of the new 2013 gb photo exposing their bloodguilt?.

this is a direct quotation from wt july 15 article "feeding many through the hands of a few" par.
"remember, in his prophetic illustration of the wheat and the weeds, jesus warned that a newly planted field of wheat (anointed christians) would be oversown with weeds (imitation christians).
the groups, he said, would be allowed to grow side by sideundisturbed until the harvest, which would come at a conclusion of a system of things.
Ask any questions and I'll expand on it.
No! Lars! Please no! No questions here no need to expand. Thank you very much.
Actually didn't even read the stuff you pasted. Long posts are too tedious and un-readable, somehow off-putting even.
