i stumbled across this while searching on a totally different topic.. read through the transcript of the town council meeting.
the questions asked and the dorkiness of the 'brothers' testifying is hilarious.
someone should create this as a template for anyone wanting to resist kingdumb halls being built in their communities.
I remember when living in PA there was a big flood along the Susquahanna River. A sister gave an experience of how she went along the flood area giving away free literature to the victims as though that was assisting anyone.
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
i am in the process of packing all of my stuff into my little 4 door mitsubishi (which i have to bring back of course since my mom won't let me keep the car) with just $255 to my name.
here's my previous story: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/9/116282/1.ashx.
its both an exciting and scary time for me but i did have one important question to ask:.
Haven't you ever seen those stickers on the mail? "Address Correction Requested?"
Anyone can go get Forwarding info at any post office.
all this time you thought it was to proclaim jehovah's grand kingdom!
ain't you silly!.
(by the way, this information is maintained and updated by our friend jr brown-nose!).
the WTS GOT 50,000 US$ from the trust
GXJW,
NOT a dumb question. This means they received the money. Hell they even got more than Ex- US President Bill Clinton's nonprofit (right after the WBTS figures).
Now which JW in good standing can ask headquarters to account for how money for Katrina Relief was actually used?
Jank--the Community trust info came from another poster, but I agree....I gots krazy skillz!

when was the last time that the society gave an explanation about 1914?
for years now it's always that god's kingdom was established in the heavens in 1914 and 1918 jesus directed his attention toward rutherford.
no more trying to give historical facts or dates why they came up with 1914.. is this what you have noticed?
Having just glanced through the new book Jehovah's Day, I noticed a page with the ever popular 2520 years graph that has 607BCE on the left and 1914CE on the right.
Holy moly, I was going to say I was in shock....I'm glad you clarified, thanks for the info.
remember that guy from watchtower.cc who was in here the other day claiming that his site was "protected by a federal judge" and that he knew of a legal case where the "watchtower was going down?
well he made his own forum at http://p072.ezboard.com/bwatchtowercrucialcriteria.
lol... does that board list look familiar to anyone?
GREAT!!! One of the Castrati Illuminati among us! Good one LT!
Leo that was hilarious. I don't know how you guys find the time to research and track down all this crap. It's pretty easy--just don't click on the thread if you don't like the topic!!
for the wt-because of not going to war....he is an ex...those who pray please do.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
dear friends,on july 18 i will be 80 yrs old.
this saturday (15th) we will be observing it here at home by inviting some friends in and having a time of snacks and fellowship (no gifts).
My 90 year old aunt just completed her 4th round of chemo and her cancer was pronounced gone last month.
80 and 90 year olds beating cancer.....when I was a girl--thirty years ago--cancer was a death sentence.
Mouthy I agree, can you tell us more?
http://www.frappr.com/xjws .
don't know if this is done already, but here is a pretty neat way for us all to map out where we are so if anyone is travelling, they know who is in the area...if anyone thinks this is a good idea, feel free to click and update!
edited to add...it has chat, too.
done--will add a pic later! too cool!
i just wrote to a former friend and current elder.
i'd like him to check out one of my jwd postings.
i suspect, since we haven't seen each other in some 35 years, he'll do it out of curiosity.
Why, if used appropriately, this could constitute "theocratic warfare!"
Love it!

on another thread i gave a what-if situation using 10 cents per magazine although i'm thinking that with the cost of the printing presses and software factored in it could be more.
who knows or can give a good estimate?
Regarding the cost of the watchtower magazine. I get a newspaper every day delivered to my front door that costs me $0.46 per copy. The average paper is approximately 35 pages double sides printed with multi color on some of the pages. The pages are 14" x 20" for approximately 70 square feet per copy. (awake alone uses about 9 sq. ft per copy) The paper is newsprint which is similar to the quality of the Watchtower publication. A newspaper requires a large staff of "PAID" reporters as well as many others to complete these papers on time. The stories are not made up as they go along. The population of the area coverage of this paper is about 300,000 homes and busnesses. The personnel of this paper are paid a living wage with benefits. In addition, this company makes a profit.If the watchtower were to send a dozen copies to each of the 6 million members that would be 72 million copies. Is this per week? Wowee. The cost of 3 cents per copy is indeed excessive.
NICELY STATED!!! Where have ya been all my apostate life?
turning a life affirming rule into a death-dealing policy is an amazing accomplishment.
we can thank the watchtower society for a mindset which makes this possible.. i've gone into great detail before about the watchtower blood policy itself.
it is a blatant and deliberate publicity stunt which takes the rather simple prohibitions of the laws of noah for gentiles on murder .
Superhooper is a troll, until he can prove me wrong. Two different posts he spouted off the JW rhetoric about blood, even using certain JW key words and phrases. He tried to appear neutral by claiming to be a student nurse--this is so we wouldn't 'hold him responsible' for knowing medicine per se.
HOWEVER---one thing that medical/nursing students have in common, they immediately begin speaking in scientific terminology with regards to the make up of the human body, biology and medical procedures. Our friend here has done none of that, but instead pontificated that people who die under a state of delusion are happy.
i could but perhaps if look for your self in a un biased journal on that subject.
The poor grammar is just to throw you off. I asked Super twice on another thread to show me the most basic evidence for what he claimed. He ignored my very polite questions.
At this point, carry on with the conversation but a word to the wise is sufficient.
Lisa
I could be wrong but I doubt it Class
