a recent post by atlantis/ petra was about destroying old books, some of which had been studied and placed over the years.. is witnessing these days only about directing people to jworg, are there books that are placed, or is hq concerned enough about having ever-changing beliefs in print that they avoid it?.
Aw Ezekiel book does not appear to be available on ebay.
If the old literature is being destroyed I guess the price will go up.
Bet you never imagined you could get £30 for this.
Or same book - £52 from this seller. But you can get it delivered by Christmas.

Hello Peacefulpete - I hope you feel better soon.

It just seem unreasonable designing an extension with materials that are hard to come by.
But unreasonable is what WT does. One elder in local cong oversaw many construction projects. The brothers gave him a nickname...
(Exodus 5:10) . . .So those who drove the people to work and their officers went out and said to the people: “Here is what Pharaoh has said, ‘I am giving you no more straw.
... his nickname was Pharaoh. They hated working for him.

Don't forget they are gong bangers to rank illusions. So what do you expect?
if not ,why do they claim he took up his power to reign as king in 1914 ?
do they claim that ?
or is it that he has only returned awaiting for god to give the throne to him.?.
If someone can't understand what you are saying how can they contradict you?

Smiddy you have put your finger right on it. WT is contradictions that are made to sound like they don't contradict. WT words are mental fog to PREVENT UNDERSTANDING.
one of my tennis friends who happens also to be a nurse, told me today that he is concerned about my mental health because i support donald trump.
i believe he got shafted but i also recognize that very little will probably change regarding his being re-elected.
this man voted for the “green” candidate and said he personally agrees with most of trump’s views but he thinks he’s morally corrupt.
When you disagree with WT reps for valid reasons, the GB will put out videos saying that apostates are mentally diseased. Next thing is elders start to express that view. So you can tell what elders have been watching and what they are invested in.
I don't know the facts of this political issue but I do know that when people don't want to agree with you but cannot put together a valid/proved set of facts to establish their point, some turn to ridicule or call you mad. But they have gone right of the topic and suddenly it is all your problem - because you wont agree with them.
Jesus Christ experienced similar.
(Matthew 12:24-27) . . .At hearing this, the Pharisees said: “This fellow does not expel the demons except by means of Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.” 25 Knowing their thoughts, he said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself comes to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26 In the same way, if Satan expels Satan, he has become divided against himself; how, then, will his kingdom stand? 27 Moreover, if I expel the demons by means of Beelzebub, by means of whom do your sons expel them? This is why they will be judges of you.
in talking to jw's, it is apparent that they believe they are the only ones who believe in a paradise earth.
in reality most bible-believing christians believe in a paradise earth, they just don't call it that, they call it the millennium reign.
i created the chart below in an attempt to highlight areas of agreement between christians and a watchtower view, while at the same time isolating the key difference - the rejection of the new covenant.
Hi Drearyweather.
If they were over a certain age they were encouraged to mentor younger ones and pass on their roles, not cling to them.
Ok they could keep the title of elder but they were no longer the ones in the driving seat (on the circular road) and this put the noses of older elders out.
So yes, I don't think they were encouraged to step down from the title of elder but step back from the responsibilities and open up their old boys club to new ones.
What I sensed with some was that they were swallowing hard and grieving over this as if they were no longer elders. They were losing something they valued.
