Why does JW.org need a registered trademark?

by cedars in

jw
friends

i've just noticed that the logo for jw.org is a registered trademark.. this is how the logo appears on the back cover of the new magazines.... .

maybe i'm overthinking this, but i'm struggling to understand why a website for a religious organization that purports to be involved in not-for-profit educational work needs to register a trademark for its website.

a trademark is something commercial companies use to protect their goods or services.

I posted this in another thread under "what is up with the influx of electronic readers ......"..so it might add to this thread, some more useless information and pure speculation ....LOL

The WBTS printing days are over. They are in new dangerous Territory, as they push JW.ORG and sell off property and distribution centers around the world, they will need to steer the flock away from all other internet sites that will expose their errors. They will probably team up with Amazon and sell their own "hard wired" approved Internet tablet divise, that will be highly restrictive and monitored.....

Welcome to the WTPAD.....any other suggestions for JW-pad ?

Shalom

How the Governing Body Solved Another Problem

by Cameron_Don in

jw
friends

that interpretation had caused a problem that the governing body was never able to satisfactorily explain.

they needed to be able to show that there has always been a functioning faithful and discreet slave in one form or another ever since.

but they were never able to provide any evidence for the existence of an ongoing 1900 year-old slave prior to the appearance of the watchtower society.

Who was the president of the WBTS that apparently said, words to this effect "certain Bible truths are obvious but as far as 1914 goes, I'm not too sure, since we got the whole chronology thing from the SDA" ?

the local publishers seem to be jumping on the e-reader bandwagon.. sisters even in their 70's are showing up at the hall with ipads loaded with publications for the meetings for crying out loud!.

a couple of these elderly sisters are having me get theirs ready ... should i add coc and captives of a concept ... perhaps studies vol vii ... to the library for them.

Designs *** Jerusalem would be the capital of God's Kingdom and all of humanity would live in peace under the Torah.***

1. Would this include the sacrifice of animals as specified in the Torah. ?

2. Is not this idea entertained in the "Jews for Jesus" circles, and in a Christian Pre-millenium dispensational Eschatology ?

Designs **** 'Right of refusal' see this was Paul's cleverness at work- make up a messiah who doesn't fill the jewish belief and then taunt them for not accepting what was considered an apostate idea to begin with****

Thanks for your reply friend...

A question for you ...If we accept the promises made to Israel in the Hebrew bible, that they would ultimately bring blessings to the gentile world as kings and priests, how would you see the acceptance of Gentiles into this arrangement ? Or are you just debating both sides of any argument to be false?

Designs *** Thanks for your reply. The acceptance of the first century Jewish anointed (Christian) brethren that they seen in their own scriptures Amos 9:11, and the eye witness accounts of the work of the Holy Spirit among the gentiles (only after first right of refusal by Jewish brethern) shows that the aspirations of Israel would finally attain their goal of being a light and blessing to the world. This obviously came about with a lot of debate and struggle. However, Christ NOT only died to free us from our Adamic nature, but to bring ALL things together in Himslef, the things in the HEAVENS and the things in the EARTH. It produced a Spirit of tolerence and acceptance, because they ALL shared the One NEw Nature, the very life of Christ within and hence the embryo of a NEW Creation, New Heavens and New Earth awaiting fulfillment.

Shalom friend.

I can understand questions about way bad things happen to good people from agnostics, religious and spiritual people. However, if atheists don't believe in God or any god, or first cause, why do some accuse nothing/no god for all the evil in the world. Some seem to hate and talk about someone who does not exist. Can anyone explain this logic to me ?

I hate Santa, he did not bring me anything last year, oh sorry there is no Santa.....what am I saying !?
