i have tried to find the talk fear of giants... apparently there are various versions and i need to find the version that has him recommending the book angels and women.
what part of the talk?
(i don't want to listen to hours and hours of talks...).
What point do you want to make connecting Herd to Angels and Women?
I'm curious because there are so many contradictions surrounding the novel Angels and Women. Is the work supported by the org or is it considered banned material? Many witnesses don't know about it. The few that know about it think it's just creepy and a smaller crowd think it's a great work of the imagination.
You're not going to mention the automatic writing claim are you?

Hey Data-dog. Since you're good at identifying pareidolia images in the WT magazines I want to know if you see the same image as I do in another watchtower magazine. My friends say they can barely see it but you might have an eye for it.

does anyone personally know jws serving on the writing committee?.
what is their outlook regarding the end; are they still truly convinced?.
are they expressing doubts or seem demotivated?.
The Mormons are ready for the Armageddon event. The Church even has special stores that sell emergency supplies. After learning about Guy Pierce's former affiliation with the Mormons and the adoption of Family Worship Night I wonder why Armageddon preparedness wasn't hightlighted more. They did get the publishers of the congregations to fill out disaster contact forms. They also recomended getting emergency supplies to last 3 days. This idea became realistic due to natural disasters already happening around the world.
well, i saw it.
you better get ready for everyone's talk about it.. it was 25 % biblical, 75 % fantasy.. noah was mean as a character, his family was great.
methusala, was an old fart..
The girl who became pregnant was Shem's wife. Ham's brand new girlfriend was run over by a mob while being stuck in a trap. She missed the boat. Ham was ticked at Noah for not helping her.

The writing department is probably just going through the motions. They believe what they're supposed to believe. Nothing new can be presented because any writer that deviates from the norm would be accused of “pushing ahead of Jehovah’s organization.” They are in a catch 22 situation.
If any big revelations are to come, it will be from someone on the outside. The Jewish religious leaders assumed the messiah would have come from high minded ones in Jerusalem. Instead, Jesus came from a poor unimportant family in Nazareth. God usually does the opposite to test the motive of the current leadership. If they are in it for power, prestige and popularity then they will hate the lowly prophet that pops up. This has happened before, it will happen again.
god (yhwh) has always "come down" and spoke to man before he intervene in humanity.. i know things got changed up with the start of christianity and the congregation ( book of acts), but putting the fds theory aside, wouldnt you think he would speak out to someone to take the lead spreading a message before armaggedon strike?.
Can you imagine lowly publishers in charge of big secrets from God?
If they ever uttered them to Elders or higher ups they'd be charged with apostasy. I've had some crazy ideas come to me in the past about potential scenarios that could happen in the future. I knew full well that disclosing such information would get me kicked the curb and a good old eternal family shun. No thankyou!
I'll show my hand only if it keeps me in the game.

since i was a very young boy (+/- 10 years old) i had thoughts when revelation 18:2 was studiyed at our kingdom hall.. babylon the great was for me new york.
the center of the world, where all cultures are comming together.. next step for me, was that new york was the center of the universe for our jehovah's witness religion.. so i was connecting babylon the great with our own religion.. now with all the topics about the connexion between the watchtower corporations with investment billions, political influance, history cleaning and rebranding their business i could imagine when the society is going down, many corporations and politicians will say "shame, shame, babylon the great has fallen...".
I was just watching the movie The Devil's Advocate and the main character's Mom described New York city as Babylon the Great.

There’s another view of this picture to found on the internet.
This conceptual drawing was based on a side scan sonar image taken about 2200 ft. from the surface of the water. This image was taken off western Cuba.
Here’s a different side scan sonar image taken by the research team in the same area.
A conceptual drawing was created based on this image as well.
They also sent an unmanned rover down there and took this photo of a carved stone block. The rover took a few more pictures of other stone blocks in the area but this one is the best.

It's too deep and too expensive to research further. If there was oil to be found down there that might change things.
you are probably wondering what these two subjects have in common.
well, i have been pondering something for quite some time.
i have been trying to figure out how explain the recent and huge doctrinal shifts of the wtbts since the 2012 annual meeting, and the accompanying modernizing of the jw official website.
It's all about rights. JJ Abrams couldn't have pullled it off without the approval of those in charge of the rights of the Star Trek franchise. An older GB member has to grant rights to the newer GB members. Any ideas from new members has to be approved from the older so it can be justified as right. Or they just vote on it and hope God plays a role in the voting outcome. You don't want things left to chance.

I had some similar thoughts along those lines. Bethel headquarters is/was in Brooklyn, the United Nations headquarters is in Manhattan and the city of Babylon is about 20 miles west, on Long Island.
Maybe there's more to the WT mass Exodus out of Brooklyn.
Wikipedia article on the history of Babylon, NY:
"The region was once called Huntington South. Nathaniel Conklin moved his family to the area, eventually calling it "New Babylon", naming it after the ancient town of Babylon around 1803. The town was officially formed in 1872 by a partition of the Town of Hunington."
By the way, former WWE diva Ashley Massaro was born there.
