howdy,.
attention: this has happened in romania - not russia.
duh - my fault.. i received this e-mail, and am passing on to y'all.
Hello everyone,
as Cignus and others already commented,
this group of "JW" are based in ROMANIA.
It is interesting to read the many pages they have in their
link, including report from "convention".
Having read them all, I can say that Moxy informations
are correct.

"the lord has graciously provided for the publication of his message in the form of books, that the people many be informed of the truth ... those books do not contain the opinion of any man.
" [riches (1936), pages 384-385].
a friend of mine has that book in another language and he can't find that quote.
Hello everyone,
a good quotation. My information...
agrees with Blondie:
" The Lord has graciously provided for the publication of his message in the form of books that the people may be informed of the truth…Those books do not contain the opinion of any man.” Riches 1936, (end of page 353 and top of page 354)
(Chapter X, Duty & Results, Abomination section)"
(Thanks Blondie). Btw, to be fair I have all quotations,
in a form of a booklet, and they were graciously provided
online -all 114 pages - from the link
"Watchtower quotations" from Freminds (I think ).

today's history lesson .... fred franz discredited a "governing body".
the last page of the february 1, 1976, watchtower, was devoted to a notification entitled "governing body adjustments.
and so that's what happened with philip, how he became an evangelizer.
Hello Rationalwitness,
thanks for the excellent information.
I've checked the bound volumes, and surprise...
there is made a report of the Gilead Graduation day,
with points from the various speakers...but NONE
from br. FRANZ!
I do agree on your statement about the -governing body -
"...Fred Franz revealed his personal feelings about what was then being debated and negotiated among the seventeen Governing Body members, and in so doing Scripturally disproved the existence of any Christian "Governing Body."

really simple question for the fundys.
why is god invisible?
Hello Hippikon,
thanks for the question.
Here is my humble answer:
"His - substance - , His being is not of our same
matter, it is another realm, - the invisible one
to all of us in this planet Earth ", or to put into
a nutshell... another chemistry, beyond our -dimension -!

i'm wondering how many here are "active jws," "inactive jws," "x-jws," or "never jws.".
i don't mean to be nosy.
i'm just wondering how many are in a situation like mine (still in, but struggling).
Hello everyone,
a nice survey. I've answered already.
I do like Gsark comments. Very true.

i was recently carrying out an audit for our latest s.a.d.
when i came across the travel expenses paid out to our guest speaker from the branch (john wynn).
he was paid 255.00 about 85p a mile, "bit over the top".
Hello Jemimah,
thnaks for the information.
Personally I do agree with Hadenough statement:
"These little tidbits never cease to amaze me and they just keep being added to the pile of inconsistences that are becoming quite a mountain."

people have a right to choose their own associates.. likewise, parents should have strong influence over.
who their minor children associate with.. these truths are a far cry, however from the inept and.
cruel actions of elders, in hunting down, stalking,.
Hello Metatron,
You made a good point, against this kind of action.
In mho, I do believe that Flip statement are very fair
Reasonable. We don't wish to fall into the same trap!

i am bringing this to the top because of some comments to my previous post on whether i am stretching matters and some legal speculations and issues.
i did not state by listing the corporations that i was citing solid assets or whether these would be good attack in litigation or whether they might be shielded.
here are some helpful clarifications:.
Hello Amazing and HoChiMin,
A very interesting follow-up and very pertinent
comments from HoChiMin.
I do hope that our friends in Europe, follow this
very closely too. Greetings, J.C.MacHislopp
