There is a youtube video out there that shows some old Jw literature that states, at different times that both Satan AND Jesus were Abbadon.
Not that you would find it interesting enough to watch but thought it interesting.

Seven Headed Wild Beast officially no longer represents UN?
by donuthole inaccording to a new "bible questions answered": " the wild beast with seven heads introduced at revelation 13:1 represents the worldwide political system.".
i know that they have quietly been backing away from the un identification for awhile.
is this feature on jw.org a new official teaching, or just a spin for the sake of the public?.

Role Reversal: Placing 1969 Awake with JW's Manning the New Portable Literature Displays
by snapdragon4 inin recent weeks the jw’s here in the uk have been setting up their new portable watchtower literature displays in my local town square on a saturday morning.
as they hadn’t knocked on my door for at least five years, and consequently feeling somewhat neglected, i thought that i would pay them a visit instead.. .
the first thing i needed to do was arrange my literature.

I had somehow missed it also,. Thanks for resurrecting it,..oops,..
Idea for anyone planning on sharing info like this to those working the booth.
What do you think about having another person plan on showing up after you get there and have them listen into the conversation. You would want the other person to not look like they were not involved with you of course, just clarifying. This might make it harder on the Jw to tell you where to get off. They would have to keep their cool and act interested as now there are other people involved and of courser they have to give a good witness.

I've heard that there was a directive from the WTBTS to get the board members of the local KH Corporation to modify the by laws that allowed the WTBTS to assume ownership of the assets like building etc in case of the dissolvement of the congregation. It was being ram rodded by the CO when he made his visits and thought that I had seen a youtube video about this in the past but cannot find it now. Any information on this?

I watched a old black and white film about "The bicycle theif" a few years ago I think it was made in Italy and had the father who had a job plastering posters on the walls of the town and needed a bicycle to get to and from work?
Is that the one?
Also, not that I'm a bicycle fanatic but remember seeing a movie when I was younger about a town in Mexico where the rich man in town had the only bicycle and a little boy made himself a bicycle out of wood. Anyone remember this as I wanted to show it to my children but cannot find it.

1914 countdown card in 2014 Yearbook
by jwfacts inthe 2014 yearbook has a scan of the 1914 countdown card.
it does not say whether this was published by the watchtower or independently, so please let me know if you have any further information about it.
in typical offensive fashion, the yearbook blames the members rather than themselves for the false expectations held for 1914.. some bible students even carried a countdown card so that they could mark off each passing day.

The scan from the Oct 15 1913 Watchtower says:
"It is for each to accept or reject the facts"
I found that they would use the word "facts" instead of "evidence" or some other word. To me, when you use the word "facts" it means
it is beyond rejection to believe otherwise. It's like they were trying to allow themselves room for a later rejection of looking to a certain date but at the end of the sentence they insert a word that does not allow room for any other conclusion but to believe what they are pointing at.

Sillin,.
As to pointing to Jehovah, I have an app called Star Chart that shows in real time where Alcyon and the Pleides (Messier M45) is located. You move your phone around and it will point the direction to this cluster.
So the next time a child is asked to point to where Jehovah is and I'm present, I will whip out my phone and correct the parent as sometimes M45 is located "through" the Earth.
