i kid you not.
the letter read twice at our meeting stated that the travelling delegates should be at least 19 yrs of age, but be an exemplary publisher for over 20 yrs.
how can this work?.

please share how your wt study went today...
Your question about what is the opposite of true reminded me of when 2 elders were at my door, uninvited askiing me why our family was not attending the meetings anymore and the rehearsed " depressed, tired, work" excuse went out the window and I mentioned the issue I was having with the 2010 change of the word generation.
Of course as I'm sure you an imagine, Proverbs 4:18 was touted and the term "present truth" was mentioned. That was my cue to ask if the current teaching is consider "present truth" what should the previous teaching be called. I said " If its not present, it must be "past",... And if its not "truth" it must be,.........". the elder I was talking to would not say the word that was apparent to everyone and being "lie" ie if its not present truth, it must be past lies"
His mind would not allow him to go there.

the image of page 13 of booklet "unseen spirits" from 1978 show a animal similar to a monkey, but it have the pointy ears.
it is a demon materialization?.
.
According to WTBTS lore, the demons were able to leave their human bodies and leave this physical world so there is no reason that they would protray
this as being a demon.
It looks like the man is shouting "Hello there over in the big boat, do you have room for maybe one more?"

haven't posted in a long time but i just have to say that the borg must really be building this annual meeting up to be a big deal.
talked with my dad and he hasn't had so much enthusastic anticipation since 1975. he said that it was announced that if all the seats are taken you should sit in your car and listen to the talks on the radio.
i told him the rumour was a new nwt revision would be released.
Listen on the radio,.. Tell us more about this feature as someone coulda at least record it if this is true.

latest news from a source (missionary in foreign land):.
no more missionary homes anywhere in the world.. all missionaries presently in missionary homes must vacate.
must get housing on your own / from the locals.. circuit and district overseers have moved into many of these former missionary homes.. reasons: liability, cost savings, real estate to be sold or used for other purposes.. needless to say, many of these longtime servants are very unsettled.
The GB is no longer comfortable with the "missionary position" and has decided to "pull out" before it gets messy.

just wanted to point out something that another poster brought up in the thread on the agm rumours, the writing department included a photo of a cuneiform tablet in their article on the origin of languages with a caption that states it is from 3000 bc.
this would pre-date the global flood myth and the fanciful tower of babel story altogether, hah!.
And I had read somewhere that there was a Hebrew word that could be used for sphere, but it was not and this would help show that
they (Bible writers) thought that the Earth was not a sphere.

according to the november wt study article, there a study lesson about 7 shepherds, and 8 dukes.
the interesting thing is par 17. it instructs the elders to not question the instrutions they receive during an modern day asyrian attack.
maybe some kool aid is coming.
Here is a link to JW.org where the article gets interesting around paragraph 17.

Not sure if this thought is even relevent as I am unaware of the dates the WTBTS says that the global flood happened or the Tower Of Babel was being built but the 3rd millenium would start around 2001 BCE right, not 3000 years as normally thought.
