history reveals that in the beginning the wt was just a publishing house, selling books and magazines; over the years it evolved into what it is today..

the placement of the original publications was mostly done thru sales people masquerading as preachers.

lol... nothing to "oops" about.... Posting new topics on topics that have been discussed at nauseum is the norm around here. Always good to get slightly different perspectives. There must be 20,000 threads on 1914

by cantleave in

my gut feel is for the ps4 which is cheaper and more flexible.. btw - i haven't bought a console since the wii..

just wondering what everyone is doing to celebrate the 100th anniversay of christ's return..

@Iquit - I brought up this exact point in this thread a couple days ago. I'm trying to figure out how this was possible. About the only way would be if he has the same powers as Jehovah i.e. Omnipresence or Omnipotence. If that's the case then it opens up the whole can of worms of Jesus and Jehovah being of the same essesnce. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/268829/1/Separation-of-the-sheep-and-goats#.UsGhHkko6M8

i think it should go elsewhere due to the human rights issues and putin's regime.. i swear, modern russia is the personification of watchtower, homophobic, xenophobic, dare to question...go on...you questioned?

awww ....gulag!.

press saying bad things?

wearewatchingyouman

Eh... I boycott the Olympics every four years anyway. Seriously, it's like watching paint dry. Who effing cares about some stupid contest of sports nobody pays attention to for years, but all of the sudden matter in order to boost the pride and ego of nationalists?

page to get firmer instructions on how to handle any child abuse accusations and they are being told not to call the police..

I'm sure there will be some current elders from our community here who will conirm or deny this soon enough. At least I hope so.

They're everywhere these days!!

by scotinsw in

just spotted witnesses handing out brochures like they were going out of fashion this afternoon.

this was at oxford circus in london (one of the busiest shopping areas of london).

they were actually getting in the way and had boxes of the rubbish!!.

Hey, maybe the WBTS will invent robots to hand out tracts for them. Another miracle of invention brought on by the Holy Spirit! It seems that's all they need these days.
