  Thanks sir82 found that December 2012 KM here You're right, it states ... "Each time you give someone who is not baptized a electronic book, brochure, or magazine, you may count it as a placement."

  (below is a cut and paste from page 5 of the KM...)

  Direct People to the Web Site:
  Some who hesitate to converse with us or accept literature are willing to investigate Jehovah’s Witnesses by looking at jw.org in the privacy of their home. So publicize the Web site at every appropriate opportunity.

  Answer Questions: At times a householder, an interested person, or an acquaintance will ask a question about Jehovah’s Witnessesor our beliefs. Show him the answer on the spot, using a mobile device or a computer. It is often best to read the cited scriptures directly from the Bible.If you do not have ready access to the Internet, explain how the person can use jw.org to ?nd the answer himself.—Go to“Bible Teachings/Bible Questions Answered”or “About Us/Frequently Asked Questions.”

  Send an Article or a Publication to Some-one You Know: Attach a downloaded PDF or an EPUB to an e-mail. Or download an audio version of a publication onto a CD. Each time you give someone who is not baptized a electronic book, brochure, or magazine, you may count it as a placement. Material should not be sent anonymously or in bulk. Neither should it be uploaded to any other Internet Web site — Go to “Publications.”

  Show the Latest News About Jehovah’s Witnesses:This will help Bible students andothers you are calling on to develop apprecia-tion for the worldwide scope of our work and our Christian unity.(Ps.133:1)—Goto “News.”

  Hey thanks for that.

  That Watchtower 2011 Jul 15 p.11 article reads like it was written for a 5 year old.

  " This means that they say things that make their false ideas sound true, like criminals who make false documents look real. ... Jehovah is like that good doctor. He clearly tells us to stay away from false teachers. "

  What the...?

  Weird stuff that only an exJW would know

  by biblecheck in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking tonight about all the wierd stuff that i viewed as totally normal being brought up as a jw.... here's my list.... - eating broken easter eggs after easter was not a sin.

  - your car always had to be clean in time for the co visit.

  - being assigned to the car park at a convention, with a walkie talkie, meant you had powerful connections.. - the amount of lines and hand writing on your sunday watchtower, spoke volumes of your spirituality.

  Throwing away the magazines that you could not sell at the doors was wrong - but it was OK to dump them in laundramats where the laundramat attendant would throw them away.

  yes! Guilty of that one - how did it seem ok at the time?

  - whenever you get a blowjob you wonder if God really disapproves or if it's only those nuts in Brooklyn being jealous. It kinda' messes with the experience. (BTW, I'm good with it now, never think of them when I'm enjoying my lover)

  sorry but that comment was just...stupid

  - eating BROKEN easter eggs AFTER Easter was not a sin

  - the amount of lines and hand writing on your Sunday Watchtower, spoke volumes of your spirituality

  - as a kid, sneaking a bite of the dry crappy tasting bread before the Memorial was cool - and only ok if you privately begged Jehovah for forgiveness

  What's yours?

  The significance of Sparlock

  by botchtowersociety in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower has depicted sparlock as a commercial plastic toy to be thrown into the garbage with impunity.. i submit to you all that he is something far greater.

  sparlock represents all the hopes and dreams of jw children everywhere.

  he is the magic of childhood.

  1799,1878,1914 etc WATCHTOWER COVER UP image - use freely!

  It's actually from a 1974 Watchtower, (Hi jwfacts - yes I originally thought it was an old Awake! article too).

  The image is found at the bottom of the article entitled "Can You Be True To God - Yet Hide The Facts?" - when you read the article it really is a case of the "pot calling the kettle black" in its accusation of the clergy white-washing wrongdoing.

  The article starts off by saying (quote) "What results when a lie is let go unchallenged? Does not silence help the lie to pass as truth, to have freer sway to influence many, perhaps to their serious harm?....God's servants in every period...have had to expose falsehood and wrongdoing and warn people of dangers and deception - not just in a general way but in a specific way in the interest of pure worship. They realized that better is revealed reproof than a concealed love."

  However it's interesting to observe how sensitive even litigiuous The Watchtower gets when their own lies are challenged or exposed.
