snowbird, have you read the book?:
Leolaia recommended to me and I'm finding it quite fascinating so far (just started reading it). The first part of the book discusses the ancient texts in and outside the official canon, how they were used in Judaism, and how they affected Christianity.
Thanks for sharing!

questions from readers!?!.
let me get this srtaight.. the readers of said kool aid edition are r&f witnesses, who have heard the terms anointed, partakers, etc.
I wonder if we'll see a drop in participants next year due to all the "mentally or emotionally unstable" ones who leave the "truth" in disgust.

The picture they had to take out because they ran out of room:
Mentally or emotionally unstable ones are making a mockery of our literal 144,000 truth.
For these ones we have the following message:
does anyone know if it's wt policy to exclude certain volumes of watchtower/awake magazines or other literature from the kingdom hall libraries?.
i was doing some research to confirm some of what i've seen online but many key publications are missing from the kh library.. other stuff i checked for was completely different from what's shown on scans and images from jwfacts.org and other sites..

The changes I've noticed:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Watch_Tower_Society_publications#For_use_in_preaching also lists other books that have been revised.

the title should be "Questions FOR readers"
Exactly. They provide the questions and answers for everything else as it is...

I heard a talk given by one of the member's of the writing committee, he stated to the effect of: 'The Governing Body, who are also readers of the magazines, decide on what questions to answer'.
You see! It's not misleading. The Governing Body reads decide on the questions AND they read the magazines, so they are questions from readers!
so awhile back i mentioned doing an 'out of your comfort zone' project for a class i'm taking.
it's due on monday, so i have no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with jw's this weekend.
it figures that jw's are like fred flintstone when it comes to the internet.
Show up at the Kingdom Hall at Sunday @ 9:30AM. That's usually the earliest a meeting will start. There should also be a listing of meeting times by the door.
If no one show up, it means they had an assembly that weekend, in which case, head over to the assembly hall.
9:30 song no.
10:50 song no.
12:10 song no.
RedSoxFan1393, If it makes you feel any better, I'll be going too. Take good notes, the time will go quicker.
interesting article in the new york times looking at the economic differences among the united statess various religions.
jehovah's witnesses get a mention in the article as one of the lowest income earners.. "the most affluent of the major religions including secularism is reform judaism.
sixty-seven percent of reform jewish households made more than $75,000 a year at the time the pew forum on religion and public life collected the data, compared with only 31 percent of the population as a whole.
Trades are not really looked down upon in my area because you only have to go to school a few months out of the year, you can help out with Kingdom hall builds, and it is "practical".
since i have dual nationality with bosnia and canada, i thought long and hard about since i need to apply for my fis race license to race international for any country.
i will do races for bosnia and herzegovina, i'm going to apply for my fis license from them and there is so much good news, i'm going to start my training soon, like in 2 weeks.
i'll keep everyone posted.
That's awesome! I'm glad you get to pursue your dream.
