Actually, they started with 606, cause that whole "no zero year" had them stumped. Then Freddie waved his hands and it jumped to 607. But how they came up with it originally is a mystery to me too.

I see I am not the only one considering this dilemma. When I went to the Memorial last year, I had decided it was going to be my last meeting. Well, that didn't happen. I really don't know how I am going to handle it this year. Then there is the District Convention. I may accompany my wife to the location, but I will not be wasting time at the convention itself.

Analysis,
Does it really hurt to drag yourself to two or three meetings a month to keep peace with loved ones in the truth? No.
Yes it does. I could not do it anymore. As Reuben pointed out, you are living a lie, and you are supporting a corrupt organization just by your passive attendance. You are not helping your family, you are helping to keep them in the dark. Just my 2c.

Umm, I don't think voting is a DA offense. I could be wrong, but I know there have been some changes in regards to voting recently.

The WT's Greatest Blasphemy
by blackguard inhi guys, this belongs with the original post on or about nov 24th, 'watchtower roots'.. the watch tower's greatest blasphemy.
since his corporate coup d'etat after russell's demise.
rutherford had been busily fine tuning his fifth columnist mystical machinery.

I'm sure for those who believe in a conspiracy, nothing will shake them from their belief.
Much like a Dub, really.
Brilliant sir, simply brilliant. It explains so much!

What's sad from a JW viewpoint at least, is that at last they have a legitimate flaw/shortcoming of the Catholic Church in their handling of this scandal, but since they have their own problems in this area, its kind of hard to point a finger.

Tired of seeing WT reference old magazines....
by WingCommander in.............instead of the bible!!
whenever "new light" comes out, they tell you to ignore their statement made in 1974 watchtower mag #etc, page #, article whatever, paragraph something-something.
i'm sorry, but i never went back to research what those old watchtowers that were printed before i was born even said.

You like that Min? I can still spew it like a pro! I shoulda been on the Writing Commitee. Perhaps I will share more spiritual nourishment in the future. For it is true that although in our modern world, there is no shortage of books, magazines, and online written material, how much of it is truly healthful? Surely it is just as the psalmist-- see there I go again!

Amazing!!! a small step in the right direction. Of course this has nothing to do with the lies the media and apostates have been spreading about God's clean spirit-directed organization. Wonder if this will happen in the U.S. as well.

by No Apologies inmy wife told me that last night a letter was read from the society, explaining how all printing operations in brooklyn were being moved to either walkill or patterson, and that worldwide there would be consolidation of the printing operations.
i know there have been rumors like this floating around here for the last month or so, but now it seems there is confirmation.

Now, that's interesting. My wife said nothing about asking for donations. But she could not remember all the details. Said it was posted on the information board if I wanted to read it( I think that was a little slam at me and my poor meeting attendance).
