if she is a good worker, she is a good worker. I wouldn't be hard on her for being a JW. The only thing I may have done was got it in writing that she knew the hours would vary and would be required to work them if necessary. In any case, I hope she works out for you.

"As sure as Alabama will beat Auburn, these special tracts will be placed."
So now SFPW has a problem that needs to be fixed, and I am here to help. You see he did not say that Alabama would beat auburn in 2013, it was us the readers that read into that. It is our faults for assuming he meant yesterday. Nor did he say that these special tracts would be placed, visibly. You see even he did not understand his prophecy at the time. In fact the tracts were placed, invisibly. And the alabama victory over auburn is a future event that will happen very soon. In fact it will happen in SFPW's generation of contemporaries. So anyone that was alive while he was alive will be included. Therefore it is evident that SFPW's prophecy was guided by Holy Spirit and we should have the utmost faith in his future football predictions.

I successfully went the whole month without placing one tract! Plenty will go in the garbage.

Quotes to discourage JWs from researching WT history?
by JWOP inare there any direct quotes from the watchtower's literature that discourages investigation into their past doctrines and practices?.

I will admit I only searched the watchtower, not all publications. Seeing they are printing it back the right way in not so public publications, I will certainly be watching to see how they print it in the watchtower again in the future. With the amount of proof reading that the literature goes through, I find it difficult to believe no one caught the slight difference but very different meaning.

So you think that was just a typo? The magazine that gets passed out to everyone vs the book that JWs get. Any JW knows the real title of that talk, no outsider does. Only time will tell if they try it again. You failed to answer why they printed it that way...

SFPW, I'm curious you said JWs have nothing to be ashamed of or hide. Go to the watchtower online library wol.jw.org and type in millions now living will never die. The last time this talk by Rutherford was mentioned was in the 2/15 2010 watchtower. Look at what they changed the title to in that article and then tell me why they did please.

SFPW, will you answer me two questions? (That was the first). Do you get a big grin on your face when you make some of your posts knowing the potential riot you may be starting?

Who is the Faithful and Discrete Slave?
by Etude inrecently, i've had memories about that topic, which i had suppressed for a long time.
my original question came up when i encountered a few members of the "anointed" in my congregation (we're talking almost 30 years ago).. there was one sister who partook of the "emblems" who had come from cuba.
i learned from her that her health was frail because she had smuggled some expensive jewelry in a condom and stuck it up her colon.

A JW would just rationalize that you just had to wait in Jehovah to straighten things out and give no thought to the matter past that.
