I too clicked thinking you were getting rid of stuff. Lol
That wikipedia link shows a lot of songbooks. I never knew they changed them so often. I wonder if that everchanging light is responsible. Lol

Thanks for letting us know you are ok and hope you are feeling better. x
a few elders i know said they hoped the wts would release a "new" revelation book to be studied during 2014. they said the jws need to be spiritually encourage at the "closeness" of the end and studying a "new" revelation book for 2014 might help shape up the flock of inactive, faders, disfellowship/disassociated jws to coming back.
posters what do you think a new rev book for 2014..
I started waking up when all the amendments came out.
Has any-one heard anything yet?

paragraph 17.
"at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
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.”
Please, please, please metaspy let us know you are ok.
who of you feels like they have zeal for ttatt and wish to spread it far and wide?
who feels that it is like a "fire burning in your bones" that you can't keep shut?
(don't worry, i love the power of the internet for anonymity)... ;).
I just uploaded my design to vistaprint.com
It was very easy.

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.
this subject is coming up this month in the tms.
i just thought i would start a post for newbies or lurkers.
if you have any scans of the awake inside cover that would be awesome.
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
here'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.
