  World-wide campaign in August 2014:

  We are pleased to inform you that the Governing Body. . .

  For example, all qualified publishers will be able to serve as auxiliary pioneers in August with either a 30-hour or 50-hour requirement. All publishers and families are encouraged to begin making plans now to have a full share in the ministry during the month of August!

  It's holiday season and for sure there is a big drop in hours in July. So, why not make the sheep feel special by having their names announced from the platform!

  A typical familiarization process. Soon, the sheeple will not see an announcement of that sort of importance at all.

  Going one way with this - and that is down.

  i was just thinking today.

  how long will it be before the watchtower back tracks on its internet bashing, and finally allows it's publishers to set up internet sites.

  how long before the wt joins up with the likes of face book /twitter.

  Billy's Comments You Won't Hear at the 01-19-2014 WT Study (7 Shepherds, 8 Dukes)

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  16-20. we shall also have to raise up against him seven shepherds, yes, eight dukes of mankind.mic.

  what is the most important thing that you can do now to prepare for any future attack on gods people?.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. .

  Cross-referencing:

  As said before, the WTBTS will twist and turn the 7 shepherd and 8 dukes story whichever way they need it to bend.

  The identification of these "characters" was changed - 70 years ago the WTBTS had a different interpretation of them.

  Why would Adam or Eve choose the tree of knowledge instead of the tree of life.

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  please help me out here .. in genesis 2:16 it says " and jehovah god also laid this command upon the man: from every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction.

  17 but as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it , for in the day you eat from it ,you will positively die.. ok we get that , but what about this ?.

  wouldnt it make more sense to forbid the eating of the tree of life first ?

  One wonders: How does the WTBTS gain knowledge to these things?

  Yet, these trees were planted with man in mind.

  DesirousOfChange >>> What % of JWs remember Jonestown 35 years ago?

  .

  Possibly not too many . . . but the new kids can look it up on WOL

  http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/102003482?q=Jonestown+%22Hate+groups+and+cults%22+%22These+examples+illustrate+the+powerful+influence%22&p=doc

  .

  The 1995 nerve-gas attack in a Tokyo subway; the Jonestown , Guyana, mass suicide; and the deaths in Switzerland, Canada, and France of 69 members of the Order of the Solar Temple were all cult inspired. These examples illustrate the powerful influence that certain groups have had on the thinking of some people. Charismatic leaders have got people to do the “unthinkable” by tempting them with some supposed benefit. < g03 7/8 pp. 5-9 >

  .

  Who knows what the WTBTS teachings will morph into in half a century's time?

  Who will guarantee they won't end up like the above mentioned? By jogging scriptures the way they want them to go?
