Chariklo: 'The priest's role is spiritual. Elders have a judicial role.'
Priests serve to listen to the flock. Elders serve as judge and jury of the flock. Sad but true!

Blondie re: Par 2......'Definitely they don’t dash about, it is no accident that there is a phrase “pioneer walk” or “pioneer shuffle.”'
Ya, and another example of how 'urgent' the JWs are about contacting people is when they load about 7 or 8 'Kingdom Proclaimers' in one van and drive around for 1 maybe 2 hours wasting time and gasoline without talking to so much as one person about the Bible!
This study article was a joke. JWs are as productive in the preaching activity as a cow is poopin!

QuestioningEverything: 'If the message is so urgent......... If there was a tornado or tsunami coming and we tried to let people know by ONLY knocking on the doors , how many would survive?'
Good point!

'Bro. Hernandez is very knowledgeable of the Governing Body, because he serves as Bro. Herd's personal secretary.' Oh, Wow!
Bro. Hernandez sounds like a 'brown noser' to me!

sd-7: 1. Jesus Christ is mentioned NOWHERE in the entire program. NOT ONE PART includes the name of Jesus. Not one.
Good observation and worth repeating!

VIGOROUS! Notice how this word is used in Par 8:
"Furthermore, it would be a mistake for a Christian to reason that vigorous preaching is unnecessary because “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”" (Acts 24:15)
WTBTS is quite the task master in this article! Clearly the average JW must be slumbering or in a coma like state with regard to their spirituality. WT is behaving fanatical to get the rank and file to get tough, hard-driving and strenuous!

A Brief History of Racism in Watchtower Publications
by cedars ini've just completed a lengthy article on the history of racism in the society's publications.
many people (including myself, until recently) aren't aware that the society's early publications were brimming with racist rhetoric, and this only calmed down as the public mood towards racism changed, most notably with the civil rights movement in the 50s/60s.. a few "headliners" from the article are:.
russell segregated blacks from whites for viewings of the photodramarussell believed that the skin of a black man would turn white during the millennial kingdomunder russell, the society's publications portrayed the black races as "degraded" and the white race as "superior"rutherford viewed the blacks as a "race of servants", and spoke of "sobering the southern negro" in an article against prohibitionunder rutherford, the golden age slammed uncle tom's cabin (a work that helped end slavery) as being "the work of satan"; the same article branded spaniards a "backwards race"rutherford accused "jewish business men" of "oppressing the peoples of many nations"in 1929 the golden age (acknowledged by the society as essentially the same magazine as the modern awake!

Dec 1, 1973 Watchtower Pg 735 & 736 ?What is the view of Jehovah’s witnesses toward interracial marriage?
Blondie's research of the above article surely brings back some memories. I remember this article. And I remember when interracial marriages were frowned upon among JWs. Oh how times and the belief system among JWs has changed.
This article is yet another example of the WTBTS placing its' big foot in its' own big mouth!

Par 20 last sentence says:
“Let your relatives see in you an exampleof Christian living.”
What example of Christian living? What planet did this WT writer come from? Here on planet earth the JWs have the well-earned reputation of being fanatical, weird and bizarre in the way they treat their non JW relatives. Unsociable is another word that comes to mind! Lets' not forget the way they treat their XJW relatives!
Thank you Blondie
