  Ozzie 🍷(of the “truth shall set you free class”)

  My old dad bought "The truth shall make you free", "The kingdom is at at hand" and another book which I cannot remember. Three books for 5/- or 25p in "modern" money. This was in the mid 1940's.

  For the Ministry School "Theocratic Aid for Kingdom Publishers" was used until "Qualified to be Ministers" was released in 1955. I remember using this until the 1980's when it was replaced by "Benefit from Theocratic Ministry School education" and so the downhill trend turned into freefall.

  Modern JW's wouldn't know where to start with such texts.

  Noah + new understanding

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so they mentioned noah couldn’t have preached to all the population back before the flood.

  do you think they might start using common sense regarding not being able to get every animal type on the ark from the whole world?.

  maybe the poor sloth from south america didn’t have to crawl all the way?

  The really crazy thing about the flood account is that it supposedly happened just 4,393 years ago, or in 2370 BCE.

  The WT Society accept that animals "evolved" or whatever from the two of each "kind" in the ark. However, many animals such as lions and tigers were well known in Roman times, so they had evolved in just 2,000 years.

  Here in the UK there is on Ebay Ray Franz's two books for sale, Crisis of Conscience and In Search of Cristian Freedom. £70.00 the pair though after I have viewed them I had an offer of £56.00 if I bought them within a couple of days.

  The same seller had other WT books and they are not cheap.

  I doubt that we will ever learn the real truth behind this move. You can be sure though that accountants and/or lawyers will have had an input to the decision.

  this is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!

  reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

  What Happened to 2034?

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some years ago the wt started putting it out there that noah took 120 years to build the ark, and since the wt was the new ark, it may allow them up to 2034 (1914 + 120) before armageddon.

  it could have been their new 1975 to get excited about, but i don't see any mention of it at all now.

  what happened during the two decades since last i observed anything about the wt?.

  I think circuit overseers should have a job like the apostle Paul

  by forzaitalia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  am i being mean, thinking that travelling overseers should get a part-time job like paul did, in order to not be a burden to the congregation?

  i wouldn't put my hand up when we were asked to raise it if we were happy to give £50 from congregation funds to the c.o.

  so that he could take his wife out for a meal.

  There is no such arrangement. If your elders did it, it was plain wrong.

  The congregation is not even allowed to "round up" expenses. In the past if the CO expenses were say £87 we would pay him £100. The Society put a stop to that and we then had to pay the exact sum he had receipts for.
