Yeah that guy is a nutjob. Should you keep your home and car clean? Absolutely. Don't be a fucking pig. Complaining about dings and stuff is insane and that probably has some crazy OCD thing.

WT destroying old literature
by startingover ini was approached by an elder about a year ago asking what i am going to do with my large collection of wt literature.
he told me the society had put word out that they were collecting old literature.
i asked him why but he couldn't give me a definite answer.

ok. so that's a few kooky elders doing that not the WTBS as we have been discussing in this thread. there's no mandate from the branch to destroy old lit in the KH library or personal libraries.

Ok. Do you have any proof to back that up because everything I've read has said the opposite. JW's were encouraged to get older publications for their libraries. I was a witness in the 80's and never had anyone mention a thing about getting rid of old lit for personal libraries.
I'm downloading the WT Library CD so I can get some relevant articles.

Well Nathan, you better pack your bags. The library in my local KH has TONS of old publications. I will get pictures for you. Yes, I am going to visit the hall for a Sunday meeting just to get pictures.
Plus one of my responsibilities as an MS was to make sure the KH library was as complete as possible. As Blondie said, older congregations will be more likely to have these older publications unless someone donates old books to it. I've seen this happen.

Wow some real tinfoil hat stuff here. The reason to get rid of old lit (and this is only for the literature counter) is to get rid of old stuff that's been sitting there for years. The congregation library is supposed to have old stuff. No one is telling them to ditch stuff in the library. A lot of people think that literature is somehow sacred and that it shouldn't be destroyed. Thus you'd end up with piles of old books sitting there. There's no point in mailing in back to the branch because shipping it would cost more than the literature is worth in terms of recycling or the man-hours to restock the stuff.

interesting Rumour
by Slidin Fast ini heard a rumour today to the effect that there is a new gb member in his late twenties/early thirties.
i stress that this is unsubtantiated and requires confirmation or quashing.. can anyone confirm or definately deny it?.

No way that can be true at all. Just knowing how they do things, that makes no sense at all.

Alt. medicine wackos aren't unique to JW's at all. They are everywhere, and interestingly, well-educated people and retards fall for their crap.

I didn't read the issue but I think the protesting thing is more in reference to the OWS stuff.

What's Da Word On Weed, Mon?
by metatron ini come to this site as my one-stop-shopping guide to scandals and controversy within watchtowerland ( much of which is about as real as world of warcraft).
i'm surprized i haven't read anything about marijuana and 'the truth".. weed is getting legalized all over the place and california, in particular, is loaded with whacked-out witnesses.
since it can be prescribed as a medical treatment (here and there), i imagine the wts might have to do some doctrinal gymnastics to df folks for using it.

Satanus, that's my thought too. You can get a prescription for some opiates and that's OK. But man, if you don't have that prescription, the demons are gonna come knockin'.
Same thing with weed. I get they they check for your medical marijuana card before harrassing you.
It really shows the flaw in the whole spiritism angle they use for drugs.
