Mental health treatment
by kidchameleon43 ini'm actually not a jw, but i've always been curious about the religion since it always had an esoteric vibe to it.
i was raised catholic, but more than half my life i've struggled with my faith, and therefore, i've defaulted to the agnostic position.. i'm sorry, let me get to my question.
i've struggled with mental illness for most of my life.

TD, I think you are making two misrepresentations.
First, the Stern is not the sort of soft-porn magazine you seem to be try to make it look like. It is a common weekly family magazine, on the right side of politics, and deals with queations in society, television programs, new books, trends etc. You probably have found one of the more special photos.
Second, the WT did not steal the picture from Stern, but they both bought it from a stock or whatever it is called, where thousands of photos are available for magazines, newspapers etc. I remember a few years back, when the WT had a picture of Santa Claus on the front page, and a big newspaper in my country had the same picture. Neither had stolen it from the other, but both had bought it from such a stock.
Und ich sehe also gar kein Problem darin, den Stern zu lesen..........

Does the Governing Body already know that Jehovah (the name) came from Babylon the Great?
by Chevelle ini'll start by stating the obvious... according to the watchtower, the catholic church is a huge part of babylon the great which is led by satan and his demons.
raymundus martini, a catholic monk (who "represents" babylon the great to some extent), woke up one day in the 13th century and decided to alter yhwh so it can be easily pronounced.
hence the spanish-ish version of yhwh was created... jehova... (sounds something like this in spanish: heh-o-va).

Beth Sarim, "I thought the Borg didn't make it possible to reference certain older material."
Very wrong, it is all there for the world to see, at wol.jw, WTs 1950 onwards and most of the other publications including Aid from around 1970 onwards.

vienne, I have bad news and I have good news.
Bad news, you stated that "Some books were quietly dropped as quickly as possible." There is only one book which is not to be found in the app or .org, and that is the Commentary on the Book of James, which by the way was not a Franz but a Dunlap product. Even the Ezechiel book with its comment that the work is to be completed within the end of the 20th century, is there.
But I also have good news. I have just completed reading the "Separate Identity", volume I, and it was a very interesting and refreshing book. Although somewhat difficult to follow at times for a European not too familiar with the various American groups of the 19th century, it was - to quote myself - a very good book. I have ordered volume II from amazon.co.uk where it is far cheaper than at amazon.com, and look forward to receive it.

Appearances .............
When watching the recent GB, four of them look very much alike (Morris, Jackson, Sanderson, Cook), they are more or less overweight, not tall, they are very "buddy-like" towards each other, joking.
Then in come Fleegle and Winder, and they are totally different. They are taller, slim, glasses, very short hair, look as if they come directly from the gym, and their eyes/look are very alert, sharp, no fuzz. My first impression, of course of no importance whatsoever, but still ...... they look like two who can bring new vigour, new outlook, something different into the group.
And by the way, one of them DID come from Service dept. - Fleegle.

YB74 on Sullivan:
At 10 o’clock the annual meeting of the Society was called to order by the president, and it was shown that 415 of the members, of the total membership of 427, were present either in person or by proxy. Then he informed those in attendance that Brother T. J. Sullivan, who has been a faithful and beloved brother and director of the Society for approximately forty years, had found it necessary to resign on September 5, 1973. This he did due to physical handicap, mainly his sight, failing health, and his age being eighty-five years. As Brother Sullivan wrote in his letter: “It seems beyond my physical capacity to meet the very heavy requirements of a director of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. Under the circumstances therefore it seems entirely in accord with Jehovah’s will . . . that this resignation take place as soon as possible.” Brother Sullivan also wrote that he considered this privilege of service as director “one of the most joyful services which I have experienced since being associated with the Watch Tower Society.”
A few weeks earlier the board of directors had accepted his resignation, so now it was necessary to recommend another director in his place. W. K. Jackson’s name was put in nomination. He was unanimously elected for a period of three years
