If a martyr is someone who dies for their faith, I imagine that there were martyrs 1,000's years prior to the 1st century.

i have a family member that will not believe that the jws put a dinosaur in the front cover of thier bible.
i am looking for a copy that has that map inside front cover with the raptor.
if anyone has one they can sell let me know.
There's probably one in your family members kingdom hall library.
Next time there's a public meeting on, go in and have a look.

i just happend to wonder if the current issue had any hidden goodies.
imagine my delight!.
a gold star to the first person to correctly identify the image!.
On that same cloth, are there three letters above his calf, shin, ankle?
Is the first letter "S" and the last one "X"?
They run along his thigh and first look like dark patches.
Anyone else see this?

It doesn't matter if the WT has authority over him or not.
He was asked to come and answer questions about the WT which he is clearly able to do!

i read somewhere on the internet (don't recall what site it was) that jw's donations are going towards sexual abuse cases.. is this true?.
where can i find solid evidence regarding this matter?.
.
So the WTBTS is just the same as the Catholic Church, and purchases sex offender insurance?
I'm not sure that you are making it sound any better!
Besides, when you look at the Candace Conti case, it's WT money that is on the table - no mention of insurances.

insidetheKH not at all
I can see why you would wish this statement to be true, but your wishing does not make it true.
Either the money comes from the general contributions fund known as Worldwide Work, or they have a specific fund to pay millions to victims.
Which do you think it is?
Which would be worse?

can anyone please direct me to a download of the watchtower library on cd?.
.
matty.
Even the earliest WT Library CD's only went as far back as 1950.
Don't want any of that crazy old 'light' being available!

i have to share this with you.. after leaving the borg i had to concentrate to solve so many personal problems (financial, child custody, etc.
) that it left me with a poor social life.
i just didn't have the nerve/time to make new friends.
Listen to the leadings of the spirit!

does a female kingdom publisher need to wear a head covering if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher?.
in a questions from readers item published in the watchtower of july 15, 2002, it was stated that a sister should cover her head if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher, whether he is baptized or not.
further consideration of the matter suggests that a modification to this direction is appropriate.. if the male publisher who accompanies the sister while she conducts an established bible study is baptized, the sister would certainly want to wear a head covering.
This new teaching makes sense.
I always thought this was the case anyway.
Splash (anticipating the response of every JW)
why important: many that we meet in the.
ministry are polite.
however, jesus prophesied.
"May I show you from the Bible the basis for that teaching?”
Shouldn't that be "May I show you from the Bible that teaching" ?
