Sell your house and give the money to the WT, it's not long now and we need it to reach as many people as possible in distant lands wh have still not been reached.
If you don't you will be considered blood guilty if we don't collect enough revenue for this life saving work and people die when Armageddon is this close. Everything you own now will be worthless in one day so why are you afraid to let go of it.
And just to ram it home here is a scripture taken out of context and given a modern day parallel coz they really do like making those scriptures fit to "this 20th century" "our day".
(Matthew 19:21-24) 21?Jesus said to him: “If you want to be perfect, go sell your belongings and give to the poor us and you will have treasure in heaven, and come be my follower.” 22?When the young man heard this saying, he went away grieved, for he was holding many possessions. 23?But Jesus said to his disciples: “Truly I say to YOU that it will be a difficult thing for a rich man to get into the kingdom of the heavens. 24?Again I say to YOU, It is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to get into the kingdom of God.”

I don't have much opportunity to anti-witness personally to those trapped in the cult but I have a window decal in my car and post cards I leave where I can.

I love this from the link that was posted. It is a huge list but this caught my eye.
"The true God, who is himself 'the God of truth' and who hates lies, will not look with favor on persons who cling to organizations that teach falsehood. And, really, would you want to be even associated with a religion that had not been honest with you?" {ITLA 46}
lol lo lol lol

NINE REVERSALS IN JULY 15TH WATCHTOWER
by The Searcher inhere's what i scavenged from the most notable watchtower i've ever read.
it may be far more significant than many people realise!.
and before anyone whinges that one or two are 'old light', the fact remains that all of them are rejecting what was once 'inspired truth' from the revered fds, and disagreeing with any one of these (now current) falsehoods would have resulted in your "stoning to death" and shunning by all whom you loved.

I think if anyone has any doubts pushed to the back of their mind this watchtower will either pull them in deeper and comfort them or it wake them up completely but I don't think it will be ignored except by those who are comfortable in their cult.

YOU'VE GOT TO LAUGH!!
by The Searcher in"all of our teachings are based on the bible, not on the writings of some religious leader in the united states.
"1 thessalonians 2:13. http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/not-a-sect/.
all of the teachings (i counted 8) which have been reversed in the july 15th watchtower were based on the bible???????????.

Thank you, The Searcher.
Going through them one by one and what jumps out to me is they "discern" things differently to what they did in the past.
If they are Gods channel of communication were these "clarifications" the result of the GB changing their mind about them or God changing his mind about them?
