Yes... I remember that article (early last year I believe) ... I quickly pointed it out to the conductor at the end of the meeting and he just looked down at his brief case and didn't say a thing... I think he is starting to wake up as of late...

4I love this elder..
by pubtruth inthis past weekend during the watchtower study, along came in the discussion the title of the infamous book "millions now living will never die" and i was surprised he would utter that exact title!
when recent watchtower publications call it "millions now living may never die" .. i was about to burst a smile when i heard him say it!
very interesting moment during the study..

What is the Watchtower Borganization?
by punkofnice ini have come to the conclusion that the watchtower organization is this = .
an anti-christ pyramid big business cult posing as a religion to enable the leaders to obtain money and/or power over the rank and file witnesses.. .
my conclusions are based on a whole range of things including:.

It's a mind control and population control experiment which quickly turned into a money-making machine... the machine, though, is starting to overheat...

All these guys were either freemasons or friends of freemasons... of course the WT considers them heroes... especially John Calvin (the guy who came up with "Great Architect of the Universe")... Also, in the Watchtower DVD "Faith in Action", the first illustration shown was that of John Coustos a Portuguese Grand Master (and a heroe in the Masonic Community)... the DVD shows him on a torture wheel and another torture device while the narrator criticizes the Catholic church for its abuse of power... the Protestant vs Catholic feud will never end...

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the poster himself is a "Bethel Hacker" who is trying to locate where some of us are... for example, if I call his number and then post a comment here, he can possibly guesstimate my location (if I don't make a private call)... I really don't see any other reason for posting a phone number (from Kansas I'm guessing)... nice try

Watchtower claims Armageddon will come when US is no longer a World Power
by Alfred injust when i thought the wash towel was done trying to interpret the book of revelations, i came across this from paragraph 16 on the last page of the march 15, 2011 watchtower.... .
the urgency of the times we live in is underscored when we consider the inspired prophecy at revelation 17:10. the seventh king, the anglo-american world power, has come into existence.
concerning it we read: when he [the seventh world power] does arrive he must remain a short while.

Just when I thought the Wash Towel was done trying to interpret the book of Revelations, I came across this f rom paragraph 16 on the last page of the March 15, 2011 Watchtower…
The urgency of the times we live in is underscored when we consider the inspired prophecy at Revelation 17:10. The seventh king, the Anglo-American World Power, has come into existence. Concerning it we read: “When he [the seventh world power] does arrive he must remain a short while.” By now that “short while” must be near its completion. The prophet Habakkuk gives us this assurance concerning the end of this wicked system: “The vision is yet for the appointed time . . . Keep in expectation of it; for it will without fail come true. It will not be late.”—Hab. 2:3.
Maybe that's why the GB will be moving closer to Canada soon...

When I was about 12 years old, we had CO Rene Vazquez over for lunch following field circus. We didn't know this back then but Rene was a close friend of Ray Franz (Ray mentioned Rene in "Crisis of Conscience"). Anyway, I remember my mom stressing out and barking cleaning orders at my siblings and I for over a week prior to this "special lunch". She wanted to keep the house perfectly spotless and, apparently, we were not helping the cause... As a family, it had to have been the most stressful week of our lives... we were all on pins and needles until Rene Vazquez finally drove away and we all exhaled.... I thought "all that fuss for a 45 minute lunch break"... now that I look back on this, the whole charade seems so utterly ridiculous (the meeting to discuss the menu, the assignments given to the sisters, etc)...
(By the way, Rene was the most genuine, caring and intelligent COs I've ever met in my 36 years in the borg... a real classy guy too)

by Alfred inthe other day i was doing some research about "1914" for a friend on my wt cd library (spanish) and i found it quite interesting that the number of times "1914" is mentioned in the watchtower magazine during the previous 3 decades has been dropping exponentially as follows.... 1980-1989: mentioned 854 times.
1990-1999: mentioned 492 times.
2000-2009: mentioned 222 times.

Now I don't pretend to be a statistician... However, at this rate it appears that 1914 will stop being mentioned in the Watchtower magazine by the time the October 2016 magazine is printed... I just wonder if the discontinuation of this teaching will be as a result of "new light" (like the overlapping generations) or if they will simply abandon this date quitely (like they did with 1935 back in 2007)... the next few years are going to be very interesting...

If I'm not mistaken, elders and COs are not allowed to initiate discussions with disassociated persons. This probably explains the CO leaving his cell number with your grandmother (so you would be the one initiating contact)... What motive he might have is hard to determine... maybe he needs to convince one more DA'd person to meet his yearly quota and get promoted to DO? who knows...
