  Hi Gianluca,

  -come stai?- You see I'm teasing you.
  To go to the topic, I think SixofNine
  could have touched a soft spot...!
  I did make a quick research into my
  ...archives and I did get this:

  z wt. 1.1.1885 Vol. VI pag. 708 Reprints

  *(footnote) " We here remark that the Florida land
  donated to the Society, is not included in the
  above account, as it did not come into the
  Society's possession before the close of 1884."

  See if anyone else can give more details...

  Agape to all, J.C.MacHislopp

  Hello,
  
  I do believe that the Bible states very clearly something
  about the resurrection yet we were told that it already happened for
  some:

  w 1.11.1917 p. 325 - Reprints p. 6161
  " Furthermore , the Scriptures show that those who died since 1878
  have been changed instantly, " in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,"
  and have entered into their eternal reward.".

  I do know that all this has been changed , the date of the resurrection now
  is 1918, but can man reasoning nullify the inspired word of God?

  2 Timothy 2:18 states:

  "These very [men] have deviated from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already occurred; and they are subverting the faith of some. "

  By the way how do we call those that have "…deviated from the truth…"?

  So why call "apostates " all those who did challenge, and will challenge certain
  teachings of the WTS and forget about all those who teach "as the word of God
  doctrines of men"???

  Hello, Redhorsewoman,

  I was reading the long post of 2nd May 2000, about donations, and I could not
  help myself to send you this information concerning your quote:

  "However, in those congregations where the publishers did not make sufficient "donations" for the literature, a letter was sent out requesting additional monies to pay for the printing costs.
  I find that rather hypocritical, although I'm sure, Friend, that you will find a way to rationalize the situation once again."

  Also, how long do you think it would be before a publisher was "counseled" about his "lack of donations" for the literature if he chose (or perhaps found it onerous) to contribute sufficiently? I doubt it would take long at all."

  What you stated happened few years ago in our congregation, the local Branch sent a letter
  to inform that unless a "substantial more donation would be sent" they would not be able
  to sent more literature. " Do you know how this was possible? Well "the value" of the
  literature sent and given to publishers, surpassed by large …the amont sent "as donation"!!!

  And we talk about "…free contributions…"!

  Happy to have been able to give weight to your statement - although late -

  Hello Lee Elder,

  I wish to tell you that I do agree with your last post:

  1. Neither Furuli nor the WTS can answer the simple questions we have raised.
  
  2. It is fitting and proper for Jehovah's Witnesses to discuss this policy outside of the organization.

  3. Physicians who ask JWs simple questions about the policy will find they are stumped and may reevaluate their position.

  *…the record clearly shows that even very experienced JW elders who are HLC (Hospital Liaison Committee) members (like Furuli) cannot answer simple questions about a policy they expect other JWs to die for if necessary. " …..(very, very true)!

  *Where has Furuli shown that claims made by AJWRB are false?
  Where is the logical basis for calling our claims "exaggerated?"
  Once again we're treated to another round of Furuli's logical fallacies."
  
  *I dare say that Furuli's lack of response to the issues will answer any remaining questions in the minds of physicians regarding the lack of autonomy of their JW patients. With Furuli and the WTS, it's their way or the highway. "

  *…he would really prefer that they just identify themselves so that he can disfellowship them for not agreeing with him about what blood (haima) is this week. Lest we forget, he may once again change his mind next week and six million JWs will have to fall in line with the latest definition or face shunning and destruction by God."

  Excellent comments, by the way I have downloaded the all debate , and I'm going through
  very page, since I do really believe that the vast majority of b&s , are not at all * informed
  the way they should, and they constantly puzzled by the "new light" and changes from the
  WTS on the "blood issue" . A final word from me: " Keep up with the excellent work"
  you and the others with you…and a great, great THANK YOU * to Dr. Muramoto.

  Dear Focus,

  thank you verymuch for your words.
  I must tell you, that it is almost
  if you read and imagine my reaction
  to that post...! Really I do believe
  strongly in *free expression, speech
  and opinion* these are the tools used
  by open minded people. I do respect
  at least I do try - everyone, but I'll
  *fight always* against deception, lies,
  forked-tongue people, and those who have
  as closed relatives the ...Scribes and the
  Pharisees of Jesus Christ time.
  Still, I'll try to post in the most suitable,
  logical, ...kind way to help those who still
  do not know certain things and to share with
  others, who I'm sure *think and believe* in
  similar "wave-lenght " as I do.

  Thank you again Focus ...and also to Gianluca
  for his reply. No hard feelings with anyone in
  forum.

  Agape, J.C.MacHislopp

  P.S. Thanks for the..tips!

  Hello,
  
  It is my opinion that the following quotes by the WTBS
  publications, cannot co-exist , one eliminates the other, and I do
  believe that this is a another proof of "history rewritten" ….
  “ Orwellian” way …to control the past, the present and the…
  future.

  *** w71 12/15 760 A Governing Body as Different from a Legal Corporation ***
  HOW THE GOVERNING BODY CAME TO EXIST
  How did this governing body make its appearance in recent times? Evidently under the direction of Jehovah God and his Son Jesus Christ. According to the facts available, …

  C. T. Russell was patently of that governing body back there in the last quarter of the nineteenth century."

  Compare with :

  *** w71 12/15 757 A Governing Body as Different from a Legal Corporation ***
  GOVERNING BODY
  According to the apostolic example of the first century C.E., these dedicated, baptized Christians known today as Jehovah’s witnesses have a governing body, as specifically noted from the year 1944 onward.

  What I have difficulty to understand is that the two quotes are only a few pages
  apart…on the same watchtower article! How is it possible to write with such
  differences?

  Any comments? Thank you very much...!

  Hello,

  I do have a problem…can you help me to harmonize these quotes?

  *** yb75 39 United States of America (Part One) ***

  All congregation members voted congregationally on certain matters and also elected a board of elders, responsible for directing congregational matters. The ecclesias were linked together by accepting the pattern of activity of the congregation in Pittsburgh, where C. T. Russell and other Watch Tower writers were elders.

  With

  *** jv 205 15 Development of the Organization Structure ***(pub.1993)

  Brother Russell initially felt that during the time of harvest the arrangement for elders that had existed in the first-century Christian congregations was not needed.

  Am I missing something in this subject?
