How ironic this post is on a day JWs studied about 'loving your neighbor as yourself' in the WT study.
You maybe able to find a decibal meter app for your phone, if you need to prove it.
Best wishes,

Fortunately, no such comment was made like that at our KH today. But, the comment in the WT about "believes all things" states this:
"Love "believes all things" in God's Word and makes us grateful for the spiritual food we receive. Love "hopes all things" recorded in the Bible and prompts us to give others reasons for our hope."
On the surface, this seems all well and good. However, when Paul wrote those things, he surely did not have in mind God's Word, the Bible, because IT DID NOT EXIST THEN!!!!!

JWs should take particular note of paragraph 7. How many JWs like to have people come to their door over and over and over and over? Just saying...

Wow more heavy artillery propaganda from the 11/14 WT!!!!!
by BU2B inevery paragraph and every article in this issue is nonstop heavy artillery fire propaganda.
i have never seen a wt so full of logical fallacies, appeals to emotion, appeals to authority, guilt tripping and bite techniques all in one issue!
paragraph 9 states clearly that even though the gb is imperfect, that does not matter, we must obey them anyways.

At least in this paragraph they cite one text. It really is not beyond them anymore to go without citing Scripture.
And the application is: obedience to Christ = obedience to the organization. They really HAVE taken Christ's place, haven't they?

http://youblisher.com is one, http://wtarchive.svhelden.info is another. There's more.

Is the Watchtower Intentionally Trying to Force People to Leave the Organization?
by kneehighmiah inthe leaks from the new november watchtower are alarming.
they will disturb even longtime jws who haven't surrendered all rational thought.
it's become so cult like its scary.

They will call it a "sifting" or "a refining".
At our DC two or three years ago, Samuel Herd made the comment, quite enthusiastically: "This organization's about to ROCK!" He didn't explain anything about it, but I think we've been seeing some of this ROCKING.

Nov 2014 WT, much about nothing, or is it?
by Quarterback inthe article "why we must be holy" ties in obedience as being holy.
there is a subheading in this article that states " prove yourselves holy by being obedient".
par 9 quotes three brothers who had some conflicts, but they went along with the org.

@OneEyedJoe, you are correct... my mistake. Apparently, there's a chart in the Public edition that will be considered that goes through the tree dream of Daniel 4 and rehashes the fabricated "second fulfillment" of that vision, complete with 607 B.C.E.

WT 11/15/2014 - Who are the two witnesses mentioned in Revelation chapter 11?

Londo, thanks for that. I like how you worked this, counting backward. I've seen your video before, so it's a helpful reminder.
Not surprisingly, we have have yet another discrepency. The 1951 WT states the imprisonment was on June 20, 1918 while the Daniel's Prophecy book states June 21, 1918. In this prophecy, even a single day matters.
From December 1, 1914 to 1260 days later brings us to May 14, 1918, over a month prior to imprisonment. The 1951 WT says they appeared in court on May 15, 1918.
From December 31, 1914 to 1260 days later brings us to June 13, 1918, a week or maybe a eight days prior to imprisonment. Still, numbers not adding up.
So evidently, no prophets were harmed in the fulfillment of this prophesy.
LOL!

This is quite the issue of the WT. They double-down on blood transfusions, disfellowshipping, reporting service time, summarize the change in how elders are appointed, etc. It's like they've been monitoring the speculation on this site and decided to shoot down all the speculation in one printing.
... AND bolstered 1914 and 1919 in one felled swoop. In fact, the October KM references this magazine to PROVE 1914. This particular issue seems important. It might behoove us to keep the originals around lest they undergo some revisionist history.

*** w50 7/15 p. 217 par. 3 Postwar Enlargement of the Theocratic Organization ***
So the enemy seized upon it as part of their proof that the Society’s president and other members of the organization closely associated with him were guilty of sedition against the government, and Brother Rutherford and seven others were railroaded off to federal penitentiary in the spring of 1918, under sentences of 80 years in prison, and without benefit of bail for their freedom till appeal to a higher court should be effected. After nine months in the penitentiary bail was granted them on March 21, 1919, and they were released.So, apparently, 3 1/2 days = 9 months. According to other sources, "spring of 1918" = "June 20, 1918" (w51 7/1 p. 409 par. 4) or 274 days. Thus, each "day" of the symbolic 3 1/2 days = 78.28571428571429 literal days.
