tracing all things with accuracy.
jesus said that the faithful slave would be discreet in giving the domestics their food at the proper time.
YB2011 "Additionally, our researchers make use of nearby public and academic libraries."
Not after they've moved they won't.
How about the quotations from spiritualist Johannes Greber?
The 1955 and 1956 WT quotes him as saying he communicates with spirits, but then from 1962 until 1976 repeatedly quote from his books where he corroborates with WT interpretation.
It's not until 1983 they they again 'remember' he is a spiritualist and stop printing his demonised thoughts in the WT.
i'm just wondering if the theocratic warfare doctrine is anywhere in writing or if it's a word-of-mouth kind of thing where it's mentioned at elder's school, but not put in writing.. anyone?.
*** it-2 p. 245 Lie ***
"While malicious lying is definitely condemned in the Bible, this does not mean that a person is under obligation to divulge truthful information to people who are not entitled to it... Evidently the course of Abraham, Isaac, Rahab, and Elisha in misdirecting or in withholding full facts from nonworshipers of Jehovah must be viewed in the same light."
There should be a difference between the way God does things and the way Satan does things, but being deceitful and misleading is a trait of Satan:
*** w00 1/1 p. 6 par. 3 Serving With the Watchman ***
"Over the millenniums the great Adversary, Satan the Devil, has wickedly sought to discredit the testimony of God’s witnesses. As “the father of the lie,” this “great dragon . . . , the original serpent,” has been “misleading the entire inhabited earth.” He has been relentless in his warfare..."
So next time a JW tries to justify WT lies as "theocratic warfare", reply "Oh yes, just the same as Satan does."

i don't know if anybody has seen this (or if anybody cares).
but it seems that some of the "new" new songs have been leaked by somebody at bethel.. just a bit of a warning, do not click on that vocal rendition of song 142... it is awful.
yes, today is the forum's 15th birthday!.
i never thought for one moment that it would survive this long or have so many people post so many great subjects over the years.. it is still humbling when i get pm's or emails from people expressing how the site has helped them and of course thanks goes to all the posters who have shared their experiences and make helpful and supportive comments to others who are in the sometimes difficult process of learning the real truth about 'the truth'.. the site has gone through several different incarnations over the last 15 years running on different platforms, different databases and different hosts but we've been able to keep all the old topics.
the current site is still being developed and i'm hoping to push another major upgrade soon.. i also may have some other news to share soon about the future of the site so stay posted.. until then, here's the the next 15 years!
maybe i'm late but i just discovered that elders now have an email service run on the jw.org domain name.. those emails might contain a treasure trove of very sensitive material regarding rape, molestation, pedophilia cases etc.. the cult keeps getting creepier and creepier.
why would they do that in this day and age, lots of damning stuff in one place?.

Those emails are BOE letters etc.
We seem to get most of what Bethel sends out anyway.
i recall that some years ago the wt stated that not all offences need to be reported to the elders, but that confessing serious sins to another person who was not an elder could suffice.
the article stated that this did not include sexual offences and that these must be reported to the elders.. can anyone throw any light on this please?.
the time has come to leave this forum.
this is my last post.
mission completed.
i was just invited.
i thanked my old elder friend and he left.
(i'm not going).
Yes.
However I shan't be handling the emblems. I'll just refuse the offer.
