The staged photo of Morris the III is funny and shows how distant he is from normal life. A bloke would at least roll his shirt sleeves up and take off his watch and he wouldn't like his photo taken in an apron.

Governing Body Members Autographing Bibles
by HereIgo ini have an online ex jw friend who pointed out to me that she stumbled upon a may 15, 1999 watchtower that had pictures of governing body members autographing bibles for people.
i have no bound volumes or cd rom copies anymore so i can verify.
two things came to mind, if this is true:.

Would we ask them to autograph our books and Bibles?
According to Drearyweather, that would be okay if they were asked to sign a book and give it to them only as a gift. So under certain stipulations it would be okay. -

As a JW I considered Bethal life to be better than Pioneering but back then there was no choice for females.

I was just looking at an appeal case lodged by the Highgate Congregation in Canada regarding a disfellowshipped guy and noticed that they cite cases to support their own case that include other religions. By their own standards they are defending themselves by using false religions.

Today's Text - Justifying The Increase Of Annointed Ones!
by Divergent inthursday, august 31. jehovah knows those who belong to him.—2 tim.
2:19.. in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christ’s death.
that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

Why are they not judging who is anointed and who is not but they judge whether someone is repentant and kick them out of Jehovah's Kingdom? That's because they say the number isn't important, it doesn't matter if someone is falsely claiming to be anointed amongst themselves. They are no longer of any importance to them, they've said so, only the GB is, even thought they all are supposed to make up the Body of Christ. In theory, they matter greatly to Jesus.

Using JWs logic, since the number of anointed has increased due to some being mistaken or mentally ill then CORROSPONDINGLY, the number of those with an earthly hope must include those with the wrong understanding due to being mistaken or mentally ill.
Interestingly, the lowest number of anointed in recent years is 8,524 in 2005. Since it is now over 18,000, that's a lot of people in their organisation with the wrong understanding. We can't even identify how many included in the other sheep are wrong or mistaken but since it is an issue with the anointed, the figures must be so much higher within the other sheep.
Therefore, the number of anointed should be far, far greater, unless they believe that those with mental illnesses could not possibly be called and those that mistakenly don't recognise the calling will be disregarded by Jehovah.

Since they expect the number to decrease and it has in the past, it should concern them.
Either the number of mentally ill or those mistaken or both is increasing on their 'watch', they should be considering why this is. It would indicate that they are either attracting mentally ill people or producing them and/or failing in their spiritual instruction resulting in some misunderstanding their hope.
It may also indicate that their understanding was wrong, yet that doesn't concern them. There's not much reason to have confidence in these 7 stooges.

Need help with a reference dealing with the Generations and SPLAINE
by ttdtt inwhen originally explaining the "new generations" splaine used the example of joseph and his brothers.. he backed up the time difference between the original anointed, and the new ones by using what he said was a big age difference between the youngest "joseph" and his oldest brothers.. then more recently in a jw broadcast - he said that there was not a big age difference between joseph and his oldest brother.. can any one help me find both those, please?.

The K Flodin morning worship talk being referred to is here.
https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/pub-jwbmw_201511_3_VIDEO
He mentions the speculative year of 2040 (around the 5.10 mark) and with all his double talk, is trying to infer that the GT will come before then.
The other speculative year of 2034 comes from 1914 plus 120 years (relating to the time of Noah) to get to 2034.
This doesn't answer ttdtt's question. -
