this is sort of a take-off of the "what should the wt do" thread.. i need to get together a board of directors and elect a president and officers.
we need to figure out a doctrine, a manifesto, and a set of disciplinary rules.
we need to figure out a way to fund our new movement.
Undecided,
You can have all the spirits you want at Beth-Scam. If you drink enough spirits, you may be Lucky enough to see the spirits of the faithful worthies of old mentioned in Bro-Joe's book Millions now Living Will Never Die.
OH LORDY, I said the word (LUCKY)! Is that tolerated in this new religion?
HEY TRRRRRrrrrrr!
look at the picture in the june 1, 1993 wt.
jesus is carrying a pole up the hill to golgatha that he is going to be crucified on.
jesus has a crown of thorns and is wearing only a towel around his waist.. now the wt decided to use this picture again in the january 1,2001 wt.. notice the changes.
TR,
You got it!
From what I understand the writing commitee of the WT analyzed a few exJW publications showing the absurdity of the picture they had of Jesus carrying a pole that would take 5 men to carry. Thus the change.
As far as the change with the clothes, look at Matthew 27:35. It says that they divided his clothes by casting lots when they crucified Him. Thus the change.
As far as the removal of the crown of thorns, they screwed up again!
It seems the WT can't get anything right.
BTW, you still getting the Revealer? This info as well as other goodies are printed in it.
why do you bother to post on this site?
what good does it do you?
what do you gain from posting?.
Farkel,

ozziepost,
I am not sure if the WT is ready to get it right with that kind of new light. You never know!

Larc,
Why do you think the pole Jesus is carrying, was made smaller in the picture?
Thanks for your reply.

TR,
With all this work going on people need a place to relax. I am asking for the position of DOAB. This is not what you are thinking (District Overseer Ass Bite).
I wish to be Distributer Of Adult Beverages. Of course I will need a nice bar, you know, something like Judge Rutherford had at Bethsarim.
BTW, if you make it to Reno or Tahoe let me know. My wife and I go to both places almost every year. It would be good to see you in person.

Notice the changes. The size of the pole Jesus is carrying is much smaller. Jesus has no crown of thorns and is fully clothed.
I have a few ideas on why the change but am interested in your opinions.
well, i've been "outside" for a year now.
those pesky "expiring subscription" slips have reached me.. how many think it's beneficial to have a subscription, just to keep tabs on what's going on in the wt world?
(see my earlier post about "rice christians") .
wendy,
The Witnesses set up a table in one of our local malls advertising the WT publications as well as the books and pamphlets. On occasions my wife and I will sit across from the table and have a cup of coffee when we have a few minutes to kill. (This was a few years ago)
I have several people that were never Witnesses ask for the free literature that was put out. The witnesses got wise as to what was transpiring, and two years ago started taking the names and address of the interested party so the Witness could drop off the literature at their home and try to get a foot in the door to do a little preaching.
In all the time the table was set up at the mall and people could receive the literature right there, I obtained over 700 books and over 1500 magazines in three years.
The Witnesses think they have the problem licked.
it seems to me that when you are in the org.
your social skills begin to atrophy.
i believe this is do to many reasons but the main two are the theocratic ministry school and the extreme not part of the world stand the society takes.. the theocratic ministry school is the orgs attempt to make people better teachers, in reality all it does is ingrain bad debate habits.
Gopher,
You crack me up! Peaceful animals, spiritual paradise. ROTF
Maybe this is the kind of new light the WT is looking for.

Gopher,
If you are interested in receiving the magazines without a subscription, just try out your local Laundry mats or Doctor office as well as old folk homes. I have picked up several hundred magazines this way just last year alone. There are two gas stations I fill my vans and truck up at, and the Witnesses leave the mags with certain attendants. The attendants know me and save the magazines for me and the witnesses don't have a clue.
