  according to the world population clock, we're going to hit the magic 7 billion number this year.

  that's 7,000,000,000,000 living human beings on this planet.

  the world is about to change, again.

  *** g93 3/22 Why So Many False Alarms? ***
  [Footnotes]
  Jehovah's Witnesses, in their eagerness for Jesus' second coming, have suggested dates that turned out to be incorrect. Because of this, some have called them false prophets. Never in these instances, however, did they presume to originate predictions ‘in the name of Jehovah.' Never did they say, ‘These are the words of Jehovah.' The Watchtower, the official journal of Jehovah's Witnesses, has said: "We have not the gift of prophecy." (January 1883, page 425) "Nor would we have our writings reverenced or regarded as infallible." (December 15, 1896, page 306) The Watchtower has also said that the fact that some have Jehovah's spirit "does not mean those now serving as Jehovah's witnesses are inspired. It does not mean that the writings in this magazine The Watchtower are inspired and infallible and without mistakes." (May 15, 1947, page 157) "The Watchtower does not claim to be inspired in its utterances, nor is it dogmatic." (August 15, 1950, page 263) "The brothers preparing these publications are not infallible. Their writings are not inspired as are those of Paul and the other Bible writers. (2 Tim. 3:16) And so, at times, it has been necessary, as understanding became clearer, to correct views. (Prov. 4:18)"-February 15, 1981, page 19.

  but it's a new king in israel .

  the only one who's left of the house of jonathan is his son.

  mephibosheth said 'sure: i have had hard times and i am a cripple and i don't even understand this loving kindness, but he said i'll never leave this table.'.

  2. bible

  a brother brought to my attention that there are certain publications (books and brochures) available on jw media in pdf format, both english and russian, on the "banned publications" list.

  (pdf, 1.35 mb).

  a book for all people (pdf, 7.83 mb, not searchable).

  It's a clever way to get banned material into Russia. All a Russian Witness needs to do is download and distribute the PDF.

  hey all.

  i seem to remember reading something online a year ago about the society denying that it existed.... may have been in a court case or something and the jw lawyer denied it until the other side pulled it out.... any ideas?

  or did i dream it?.

  I remember the video, but I don't remember that the lawyer pulled one out.

  I think it was the video in this post. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/108672/1/Elder-video-is-up

  Edit: Just read a post that said the Judge had a copy of the Child Custody booklet on his desk and the elder did lie that one existed.
