  Since the early WTCD doesn't have older publication

  by thecrushed in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i didn't ask why they don't because their own literature makes them out as horrible frauds!

  my question is how do you get a hold of stuff like the "finished mystery" "the divine plan of the ages" and other pertinent false doctrine that has been swept under the rug and locked in the coffers at wt headquarters?

  i feel so helpless because if i show my wife info on the net she will just write it off as apostate and altered like we have all been trained to think.

  yes, friends, it's that time once more... when we clip some wt art to a post and try to find all the subliminal wt propaganda messages hidden in the illustration.

  (kinda like, "can you find the differences between these two drawings" for kids in the sunday comics).

  here's the illustration:.

  What's this? Pushing the game of Jenga without having it properly introduced in any of their publications? Not even once you will find any mention of it on the WT CD-ROM. Just wondering if they bought shares of that company?

  "They took no note" - ?

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend and i talked on the phone recently, and he read matthew 24:36-38 from 3 different versions of the bible.

  the various renderings indicated that the citizenry were not aware of a coming judgment nor did they suspect anything, giving rise to the thought: what did noah preach (if anything)?

  likewise, were people in areas far removed from noah's alleged ark building apprised of his monumental feat?

  Found Sheep >>

  Years past my spouse relinquished the marital position voluntarily by abandoning me, yet they would not extend that privilege afterward. When pressing for answers, I was refered to something about a new directive in 2006 (from the GB, and orally, I guess) - go, figure. They wanted to see efforts in making up again.

  My response: "Don't worry, I'll be happy"

  Being asked how I came to know about the change weeks beforehand I replied in kind by citing to "know important friends in close proximity to the GB."

  When going over passages of interest I ponder the question: How will the avid reader understand this text in 2,000 years from now?
