Barrold Bondsan As far as I'm aware, they never did explain it to the flock. The only way I'd have even known about back then is because I was in bethel at the time when they announced it during morning worship.
What did they say?????

17UN Library again... The "NGO Resource Center"
by AntiEntropy inas we know, there were at least 2 ways to enter the un ngo bldg : 'ground pass' and 'library pass'.
and the 'ground pass' matters was dealt by many posts in old times.
basically, the policy of 'library pass' had not been chaged before 9.11 as we read.. however, some pro-jws have been insisting that it was not the un ngo bldg.

Possibly they could have sent someone to the Library of Congress instead, since it hold ALL published works.
By the way - what was SOOOO important they could only find it there?

Are Witnesses really "Bible Students"?
by stuckinarut2 inwe were always told that as witnesses we were "sincere bible students".... carefully examining the scriptures.. yes, we were indeed taught much about the content of the bible, it's history, prophecies etc..... but it was always from one perspective....that of the society.
when the society changed its interpretations, we had to do the same..... so were we really "bible students", or "society students"?.
just a thought.....

Yes they are because none can ever graduate!
Students are the best you could call them. Go over the same crap every week, and almost none of them could stand up against any one who really knows the bible. -

The Elders of the congregations make for the worst possible "shepards".
by Dunedain inthe main goal of a shepard, is to keep the flock as safe as possible.
the loss of just a single sheep, could be devastating to a flock, and a shepards financial well being.
every sheep is valuable, from a monetary stanpoint, and future strength of the flock.

Having been one - they are COMPLETELY UNTRAINED AND UNQUALIFIED to be involved in any way in people's lives.
They 80% of the time don't even know the current policies.
They almost all the time NEVER understand motivating factors in people's lives
And they almost NEVER do any real (non WT) reserach when it comes to dealing with difficult issues like Depression, BiPolar...
They are worse than useless - they are often HARMFUL!

Embellished assembly interviews/"experiences"
by ab.ortega inoh how wonderful those experiences at assemblies and "schools" are - not.
at times it seemed as if these "experiences" were scripted.
the speaker gets criteria in the outline regarding what the experience or interview has to be about.

freddo - may it really show how DISHONEST the organization is.
They lie, distort facts and misquote people in their literature, so why would that not carry over to assemblies and talks.
