Hello Amazing,
Thanks for the post. Quite interesting, and I do
like your comment:
"The Watch Tower Society needs to understand that they are being monitored. Their assets, liabilities, etc. are now there for us to see. "
Excellent, greetings J.C.MacHislopp…
at the dc this weekend, they released memorial attendance figures for the us.
funny thing.
2001 2, 163, 602 (announced at dc, if i wrote tham down correctly).
Hello Gsark,
A good information. I do believe that your figures
are correct.
To Gopher:
"So they must be having trouble starting new Bible studies to generate any increase in Memorial attendance."
You've made a good point. It is the same around Western Europe.
Greetings, J.C.MacHislopp
please read the following brief paragraph carefully: .
"once again, the ruling ecclesiastical class suppressed efforts to make gods word available to their flock.
they violently silenced a voice that pointed to some of the errors of their non-biblical beliefs.
Hello Maximus
A very interesting topic, but as always
when you talk to others…never heard of it!
And for everyone, it finished with : ‘ It is a sobering
reminder of what happens when clergy-instigated intrigues
stand in the way of thought and expression’.
The pinnacle of hypocrisy !!!
To Amazing :
"It does make us wonder if the Society is having some kind of internal political and policy war, …"
You are not alone…!
To Copernicus:
" What really upsets me is the way the Society will arrogate, indirectly, the membership of others held in high moral esteem, such as Lucaris - men such as Hus, Wycliff, Luther, etc. "
I do think the same.
To Pathofthorns:
Your quote ,( April 8, 2000 Awake, page 14)
demonstrate, if needed, the WTS " blatant hypocrisy "
To Eusebius:
"Just how deep the Society will yet mire itself in this sordid affair is yet to be seen, but what lies ahead will become even more untenable and nasty unless some major change is enacted by decision-makers at Brooklyn Bethel on a number of key issues into compliance with that which is sound and moral based upon the Bible, most importantly in those issues involving blood and child abuse."
A very interesting comment, but sadly … TRUE!

a short while ago, maximus and a few others were discussing the ethics of tying to influence another regarding their belief system.
many came down on the side of caution, if not downright abstention.
if a person lived in a vacuum, i might be inclined to agree.
Hello CPiolo,
A very good question, and in mho,
Marilyn and Gsark gave you good answers.
To Francoise:
Where it is a duty to worship the Sun you can be sure that a study of the laws of heat is a crime."

i found this jewel on the society's website.
i thought you might find it interesting.

Hello jayhawk,
Thanks for this post.
By scanning the article it
makes easier, to give comments on a
specific point of
the article. Btw, does this
article apply to ALL ??
WTS ….in c l u d e d ?

it is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself.
infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving, it consists in professing to believe what one does not believe.

Hello Philo,
a good one, but wait for the latest

these are (1) our message of hope, (2) the success of our search, and (3) our peace-making attitude as harvest workers.. 2. what contributes to the joy we experience in the figurative harvest work?.
another factor that contributes to our joy as harvest workers is the success of our search for those who become disciples and join us in the harvest work.
maintain peace in the harvest work.
Hello Hippikon,

i'm going to my d.c. this weekend.
to anyone else who has gone, which days/parts should i pay particular attention to?
i think i'll bring my cam corder and tape some good stuff.
Hello Zev,
there have been some posts, recently, with
summary of the d.c. talks, draama, exp. etc. including
the latest releases from the WTS.
Read them before,...you'll be well prepared.
Greetings, J.C.MacHislopp
the watchtower society seem to have a split personality.
on the one hand they commend something, whilst on the other they condemn it.. have you wondered about the society's identifying christ's kingdom as a business corporation?
the wtbts has grown to become a major multi-national publishing corporation and the growth of the corporate body is lauded in the wt publications.
Hello Ozziepost,
A nice one again, but this time you've surprised me.
I thought that you would remember clearly, that " Joe Ratherflawed,"
had a particular hobby…and his writing, erratic, strange, fictious was the result of the best….coming from the North…yes you're right from CANADA!
Greetings, J.C.MacHislopp
