will they still be producing the proclaimers book?
Is the new book illustrated?
Yes- what Loesch said sounds so stupid! Who cares if they were jws or not! It was a false prophecy!
loecsh just announced a new publication called god's kingdom rules.. looks like crap.. will probably be old light by the time i submit this post.. i feel like i'm live-tweeting an apple event..

It is a hard cover book, right?
their website provides snippets on progress in a section called fast facts-worldwide...but for all the pizzaz, it's outdated.
they give the worldwide memorial attendance for last year (19,241,252) - which was less than in 2011, but do not tell us the current year's worldwide attendance - even though it was almost 2 months ago.
doesn't that make the snippets slow facts-worldwide?
And did you notice they removed the chart that mentioned how much literature was produced over the past ten years?
They print about 3 billion items a year now, perhaps they don't want the public to know that?
we know that christians generally go through ridiculous mental voodoo to explain why a benevolent god allows human suffering, and none of it makes any sense, or is filled with bunk logic.
that's what happens when you try and retrofit a jewish "god is good and evil" religion into a benevolent religion.. .
one of the biggest "trips" to a jw/christian in continuing this line of thought is asking them why god would create animals simply to suffer and die, then, after they try to blame everything on adam (whose brain god supposedly created, and who put him into the exact situation that had an influence on that brain to cause him to sin).
pacopoolio- Judaism teaches that God is almighty and unlimited.

these facts are for the 2013 sy from the 2014 yb. They won't be updated till the 2015 yb.
i am a member of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints, and i have written a heavily-documented response to the official magazine of the jehovah's witnesses, awake!, that claims to teach what we believe.
i saw an article from last year's watchtower about a guy who had barely been mormon for very long, and obviously did not know what we believe, who was given this magazine by jw's to show him "the truth.
" he claims to have proven to himself that it was true from information on the lds church's website.
MadGiant- is that what Mormons believe? I knew they were wacked out but that is even crazier than I thought!
Compared to Mormons witness teachings make sense!
after the recent decision to ditch the cbs during the circuit visit, i've started wondering if it is the first step to losing it altogether.
at the current rate, the draw close book will be finished at the end of next year.
based on the way things are going, even the most recent publications will be out of date by then (acts book and organization brochure were out of date when studied) so what is the point of doing them.
I think the CBS will continue. It takes so long to get through books now, they can do the Imitate Their Faith book next, after that God's Kingdom Rules, by the time they finish that more new books will be out.
why did you get baptized?.
what do you think they would reply?.
because it is the truth!
When I was a witness I would have said "To symbolize my dedication to serve Jehovah like Jesus did".
not really, it could anyone of those guys who shows a sign of humaness/compassion and regret and go on exposing them all to the media worse than ray franz ever could have.
yes i know this may be wishful thinking/computing on my part but i feel it is a harmless indugence or may be it is just my deep unconscious foretelling a likely scenerio.. and it is good to create a distrust among these guys each one trying to beat the other to jump ship because thier unconscious is giving them fits to get the hell out when the getting is good.
maybe even report their fellow gbs to the authorities to be granted clemency or something.
Do any of the gb really believe in "the truth?".
quite a few here on jwn seem to have grown and developed in leaps and bounds, sometimes beyond their wildest dreams.. others seem to still be struggling.. what do you think makes it possible to flourish?.
the degree to which our mind has been liberated from watchtower thinking?.
if so, this seems to happen in many different ways, so what is the secret?.
This is an interesting thread.
In my case my ill health, pain, financial situation have caused me to be in a much darker place then I was before learning ttatt,
