i had to clear space in my shelves for new books that keep arriving.
so... out with the "old light"!
we got rid of all spares and duplicates and only kept one of each for the sake of memorabilia.
You crazy fools!, those old books are worth a fortune, a quick search on e-Bay shows for instance £31.74 for "Gods eternal purpose now triumphing for mans good".
Or maybe you could black mail the Watchtower with them?, especially the ones revealing 1914 originally came from measuring a Pyramid.

under the freedom of information act, this guy has tax returns showing where your money goes, where it is invested, companies like northrop gruman, monsanto, cigarette and porn peddlers, and we thought we where giving money to god!
i am quite sickened to discover i was giving money to the watchtower to invest in arms manufacturers..
Oh,
I need a bit of clarification though then, does the "some one else" that has set up this charitable trust for the benefit of the Watchtower, have control over where the money is invested?
Is the Watchtower obliged to accept money made from investment in weapons of war?
Who is this "Some one else"?, I know nothing of financial affairs but the video seemed to be suggesting the Watchtower itself is the "some one else" as part of a tax dodge.

this is a topic i think every ex jw should have oppurtunity to contribute toward .. it has been 144 years since c.t.russell first published "zions watchtower and herald of christs presence" in 1879 .. red flag 1 " zions watchtower " ?
obviously c.t.russell had sympathy with the zionist movement of the day.. "christs presence" in 1879 ?
that is right and armageddon was to occur in 1914.. when that did not occur 1916-18 was promoted.
I think you are being a bit too hard on the Org Smiddy, One thing that came true was the start of events leading to a "Kingdom" in 1914, just as the Pyramid Russell measured foretold, (albeit it took a couple of trys).
Only trouble is it wasn't the Kingdom of God, it was the birth of the Kingdom of Satan, starting with the League of Nations and ending with the New World Order, whose sign funnily enough just happens to be that same Pyramid.
i had always thought the powers that be knew i was a jw and so never called me up for jury service.. today however, i received a summons for jury service.. what is the jw's position on jury service?, what will happen to me when i refuse to swear an oath?.
Cheers Guys, So there is no Biblical reason not too?, I am quite looking for ward to it.
Morpheus, I have been out of the dubs 20 years so am unsure of their position, however, doesn't mean I am unaware of the Bibles position Matthew 5v37 and James 5V12

this is my first year i will not attend memorial.
to be honest if it wasn't for my husband i would probably be going still.
he says what's the point, don't be one of those people who doesn't give a sh** but just shows there face once a year.
So I just attended the memorial in my own house and on my own.
Meant I could obey Jesus instructions in John Chapter 6 rather than saying to Jesus, "thanks, but no thanks, I don't need to eat your sacrifice, just being a Dub will save me".
due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?
remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.
what about the thousands that don't get caught?
My Swedish Niece was repeatedly raped when she was a JW by her JW father, it has been a high profile case in Sweden that went to the high court and was covered by the media.
The whole family stopped being dubs before this even came out so I dont know if it even appears as a JW abuse case.
