that book is just as insane as the others...and focuses on building why 1914 is the year, while glossing over the failed prophesies.
yet, my husband thinks it answers many of the questions i had.
.
To me, it seems its purpose is to provide highlights of the history of jws over the past 100 years. Of course it says Jesus is leading the org.
I would not expect a wt publication to focus on failed prophecies or anything that paints them in a bad light as that defeats their purpose.
I like the book.
I wish it went into more detail regarding the expansion of their printing operations over the years, which it does not do.

today in guitar class one of the members requested "i have.
a dream song" .
so we played and sang the song.
Abba are my second favorite group of all time, after a-ha!
Frida sings the lead on that song.
the current fading of brand name "the watchtower" & the rise, rise, rise of jw.org.
the watchtower as brand name is in the process of being imperceptibly faded from visibility in the organization.
who'd have thought you could make a watchtower fade and disappear?
I noticed at the end of the new dvd "These Words must be on your Heart" that the Watchtower icon/logo has been replaced by jw.org symbol.
There was a very small wt icon shown onthe top floor of one of the new Warwick bldgs in the ilustration, very small. I wonder if they will still have it when the complex is built?
How long before The Watchtower becomes jw.org magazine?

i continue to be stunned by posters reporting on the convention, lamenting the convention, complaining about going in serve-us and meetings, and yet continuing to participate in these activities.. a simple question.
how long have you done these things, fully knowing it is absolute bullshit?.
i couldn't handle it for more than six months before i basically outed myself.
I gave up going to the meetings before knowing the tatt.
I just knew about the un/ngo thing.
I stopped going because I was mad at Jehovah over my dear wonderful Mom's painful death and I had no friends there.
I found out the truth about the truth AFTER I stopped going.
two copies of this invitation were pinned to the corkboard at the post office this morning: a world government, why do we need one, is it possible, who is qualified to rule?.
i know this invitation hand-out has been discussed but i missed this part - that wt obviously is saying they are qualified to rule the world.
i can't take it.
The answer to the question given at the public talk is of course, Jesus.
this year there were only two conventions in texas.
an international convention at at&t (cowboy) stadium in arlington, and a regional convention in houston.
projections for the arlington convention ranged from 60-85k, with attendees coming from ok, ar and la, no to mention the international delegates; however, the peak attendance on sunday was 50,000..

- at the Rutherford , NJ Convention it was mentioned that baptisms that = .5% of the attendence is good. But I remember when they said 1 % was good-does anyone remember that?
447 were baptized at Metlife , about .78% of Saturday's attendence.
I think if I heard it right, the total baptized at the conventions up to June 15 was 140,257.
i attended the regional convention (district convention) over the last weekend, and thought i would spend a few minutes putting down some thoughts, for your amusement.
i will bounce around a bit, as my notes and thoughts were a little craaaaazy.. we met at one of the smaller venues on the west coast, with attendance around 7,000.
(28 baptized.... <.04%) we were tied in to the international convention in arlington, tx.. my first thought, only about 2 hours in, was how much this sounded like a plain old sales meeting!
The new book DOES mention the " Millions Now Living Will Never Die" talk.
i was wondering if anyone is aware of any recordings of the convention as of yet?
i know its relatively early, so i may just have to wait.
just curious if anyone had a copy yet.. thanks!.
Thank you Sir82!
I listened to several talks and a brother who studied with me gave the public talk Sunday morning!
This was the first time I heard a talk by him in many years!
David Spane gave a good talk at the end of Sunday's session.
I think they should do this for all the conventions & assemblies and put it on jw.org afterwards too for those who could not go to a convention.
