Naw, moxy. See, the FDS manual is pre-1950 New World translation, and it also uses terms like "meat in due season." Don't tell anyone that a few of the gerontocrats are more comfortable with that term anyway.
I'm reliably informed that there are some "clever" attempts afoot to take the sting out of Dateline and related activities. Last time it was really inspired, a video of Bill's parents and all that ... Really effective.

as an employee of the judicial branch of the federal government, i have access to a variety of information systems.
serving as a technology manager, i am familiar with the systems and databases that house public and private legal information.. after 15 years of witness life, i am forced by concern for life and family to rediscover the truth, the real truth.
i am posting this information in order to force people to think; think for themselves, inside their own minds and really get to know their own heart.
Ah, but you have found solidarities here not of our own making who will use this information most effectively.
While child abuse effectively captures the imagination, who can overlook the kids who are callously allowed to bleed to death under the sanction of a "governing body" who says the symbol is more important than the reality of life?
Abused kids survive, however scarred. Blood-abuse kills them.
The Awake! magazine with dead kids on it was not the Society's finest hour.

as we see a rising tide of problems confronting the new watchtower leadership, and a tidal wave swelling on the horizon, some interesting rumours are starting to trickle out.
we are waiting to see what the fallout will be following the dateline expose' on pedophilia cover-ups, which will undoubtedly lead to exposing the watchtower's policy to cover up other criminal behavior so as to not "bring reproach on jehovah's name.
" rumour is that the factions at headquarters are becoming increasingly divided.
You're doubtless reading the harbingers in print, km comments, local needs SM programs. Here's the pitch:
"Honest-hearted ones " will see how wonderful JWs really are despite a bit of bad publicity perpetrated by apostates who were disgruntled folk constantly running ahead. Loyal Dubs will know they have been forewarned in the only prophecy the Society has made that's coming to pass!
Hi, Ros; prescient as ever.

The number is going to get larger, and have far more significant impact.

this is especially for farkel, whose good name has been stolen but who has not been robbed of the affection so very many of us have for him.. recently we've been treated to philosophy that has been a bit opaque to many.
i thought i'd expose you to the german philosopher johann wolfgang von goethe (sounds somewhat like gert.uh).
he really makes sense most times, once in awhile i think him out to lunch.
Hey, Maxissimus, bearing in mind the maxim above ...
A J. Wolfgang von G quotation applicable to me these days is: "Who fights with monsters must take heed lest he become one." "Gaze not long into the abyss, for the abyss begins to gaze into you."
Heavy stuff going down, craggy veterans inside just waiting.
Maximus, neither commanding nor obeying any more.
I still have nightmares of not making it to the dining room before hearing that somber: "Read the text, please." Knorr could never understand why at the end of the year Karl K had to work furiously to produce the daily text and comments for the yb. Told me, "All Karl has to do is one a day, or two every other day, and he would have them done at the end of the year." Karl, of course, professed doing his best work under pressure.

Methinks you meant "penile," Doctor Subtilis.
Cordially,

Oh, hell. Guess folks would rather read opaque philosophy from Duns.
No mas.

need some help.. growing up, i was ceaselessly taught that everything jws do in preaching is because of "the issue.
" the issue is the "vindication" of jehovah's name.. at some point the publications ceased this teaching, with an almost casual watchtower reference to the fact that 'obviously jehovah's name does not need to be vindicated.
' keen students were surprised that no major article appeared to lay out this change.. i don't have the tools to follow this up, so could i impose on someone to fill me in with citations?
Dear MDS,
Good point. Finally got a chance to review the material fully, scant time for a meaningful reply, as you are likely aware. You may take it on the chin from time to time for lengthy posts; I get that too. I think that one sentence taken from your material pithily states your case:
:: Separate ourselves from an "idolatrous" organization, who clearly "defiles God's Glorious Name."

like most jw's, i used to believe that the whore of babylon was christendom, particularly the catholic church.
that is until i actually saw the whore of babylon in a jazz club in new orleans.
scary, and it changed my life!
Bourbon Street?
Addresses, please. Don't titillate.
