a relative called and said another relative called them and mentioned some book about the life of rutherford and russell.

is this correct?

i wouldn't be surprised if they were publishing more 'white washed' information to try to diffuse the facts people are learning when doing real research.

EndofMysteries- yes, I like the book. For me this is the most interesting book they have come out with since the Proclaimers book.

It is not a replacement for the Proclaimers book and in several paces refers the reader to that book.

It does not seem to be changing things around and even admited that they had wrong understandings and wrong ideas in the past that led to many being disappointed.

But of course it is not reporting on the "bad" things. It is strictly on the accomplishments of Jesus as king over the past 100 years in relationship to things pertaining to the organization.

It mentions the talk "Many Now Living Will Never Die".

I am up to chapter 10 and thus far do not see anything inacurate nor undue attention given to the gb- thus far .

And of course-the whole scope of the book is to show how Jesus is leading the org and how Jehovah is blessing them.

Realistically they will not come out with a publication that shows the "bad" side!

Sunday had 58,787 in attendence at MET Life but perhaps the 140,000 was including those who were tied in from other locations for some portions of the talks?

I live in NJ too, about an hour south of the Meadowlands.

No more hardcover books, not even HC for the Insight volumes? It is true the books do not need hard covers, but this is just another cutback in the printing budget, you'd think those in the cong would notice the gb keeps going after more and more money and would wonder exactly what are they doing with all the money?

They should withhold donations until the gb provides a report as to how the money is being used, at least a pie chart.

They no longer want to produce the calanders or daily text books either?

I like the new God's Kingdom Rules! book but notice it was made in Germany, not Wallkill, same as last years convention release the Imitate book.

What ARE they printing in Wallkill? Just the Bibles?

They do keep posting that jw.org icon everywhere. It is their symbol. The watchtower icon will fade away, replaced by jw.org. Probably kh signs will feature it soon too and it will probably show up on the all the branch bldgs.

This IC is very big news for witnesses and the attendence in Rutherford was over 140,000!

I'd guess witnesses have no clue about the conte case, or the shunning issues in Finland. Probably will never hear about it or pay any attention to it.

My jw brother would say it was made up by the media which is run by Satan anyway.

I like it. I'm up to chapter 7. It is not meant to replace the Proclaimers book and it refers the reader back to that book several times.
