  Question on Teaching UN is Beast to recruits?

  by hawkaw in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  question to you intelligent jws and exjws.. does the wt, through its knowledge book or whatever, make sure new recruits know who the scarlet coloured wild beast is or disgusting thing is (ie, the un), who is part of the great harlot etc before becoming full blown jws?.

  like should new recruits know this off by heart thanks to the rote teaching?.

  I NEED ADVICE DESPERATELY!!!

  here is my situation: my fiance is now 27 years old.

  he was raised as a jw from the age of 2 through 18. at that time, his whole family left the "truth" except for his older brother who had already married another woman from the faith.

  for the past 9 years, he has been living his life to the fullest, but still loving god, praying often and he is a truly honest and moral person.

  NY Pics 2006

  by Kent in

  2. friends

  i have got some images sent by e-mail from jehovah, and he told me he always know the future.

  but - since the watchtower is a bit slower than the net, he told me he wanted me to publish these images of new york 2006:.

  the new religious leader is not bin laden, no reasons to worry.

  Society CD ROM vs BOUND VOLUMES

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  several years prior to the release of the first edition of "the watchtower library" in england on cd rom in 1994, the society made an announcement that back-issues of bound volumes of the watchtower and awake would be available (for sale) by ordering through the literature desk.. many in the congregation had wanted a complete library of watchtowers for years and there was a frenzy of orders placed.

  i, myself, ordered the complete collection.. however, upon receiving news of the cd rom becoming available, i wondered just why the society had made so many old re-prints available when they must have known about the future release of the cd.. this also coincided with the rules changing in england for the charging / donating for literature and i distictly remember a talk by an elder saying how much we should donate for the cd through the new donation process... something like "a comparible encylopedia on cd rom would cost 30 to 40 in the shops - so how much do you think we should donate for this treasure of god-given knowledge".. it just struck me that the literature sell-off was a last ditch attempt at making money, for fear that the cd rom combined with the new donation programme would spell disaster for the societys income.. any thoughts?.

  i need a more recent copy of the cd rom if anyone has one?

  Dear Concerned, thank U for your personal e-mail.
  I would really apreciate letters from your fiancee to be sent to my mail account. And I promise that if it shows to be of greater value to talk to him I'll call him at a number he gives me. That may be safer than he calling me. Since you've never been a Witness before it may be difficult to understand such secrecy. But he will, I assure You. Take care. HappyDay

  First of all I was told that there was a changement on the w89.01, page 12 where it states that preaching will be done until 2000. But I was told about the ENGLISH publications. GermanJW assured that the same thing did not happen in Germany and I know at least one other european language where there was no editing in the CD Rom, but I don't have the printed volume of 89 to check it out, too. But Kent is right: books were changed. Why should it be different with magazines?
  Truth is: Orwell would be proud od the WTBTS! They fullfilled his '84 prediction some years earlier..
  2nd: Ther is an interesting story wich took place a few years ago in Germany. We used to have that GREEN Bible, remember. Shortly after starting the presses in brandnew Selters the society released the same version of the bible with a BLACK cover...first time. And all bros and sis adored that!! Everybody EVERYBODY ordered that black bible (beautifull!!) for 10 DM. Suddenly you could only see the green bible in kids hands...
  Well, exactly seven monyhs later Selters released a top secret version (nobody was told before that version was on his way) with REFERENCES, in black, too, of course. And almost everybody went out to order that new one. I remember that some publishers were not very happy to "recycle" their old edition that fast... Did something similar happened in other places??
  (I ask myself until today: why didn't they print that reference bible in GREEN first. It would have been a "GREEN-BLACK-GREEN AGAIN BUT WITH REFERENCE-BLACK FINALLY BLACK!!!"-business. Big bucks, indeed. Should have asked me for advice before...:-)

  Well, that's what we're doing here...!

  I told it my mother a VERY loyal JW. She was completely shocked and almost cried. This weekend I will share it with 3 friends (elders).
