its seems that according to statistics uranium or plutonium could easily be smuggled and used by terrorists almost anywhere to assemble a weapon of mass destruction.. also as u know it seems to be easy when you got the simple materials to assemble an atom bomb according to numerous sources.. is this true that it is very simple to build a an atom bomb,reminds me of the forth protocol
The High Energy Weapons Archive, A Guide to Nuclear Weapons offers a " Nuclear Weapons Frequently Asked Questions" (NWFAQ) zip file :

I am going to guess, although it is hard to tell, were some of the hardhats "added" to the picture? --VM44

i was just wondering this because when i was jw we told not to store treasures on the earth, also i remember the jws critisizing other religious organisations for massing up wealth but at sametime they were doing the same thing.. also im trying to imagine now much they have aquired in wealth, what if say the jw religion collapsed what would happen to all wealth they have aquired, whos pocket would it go into.. they must make a fortune in contributions also remembering that bethel members vitually work for free,most jw buildings or assemblys are built for virtually nothing,its just like slave labour "oh god"
The Watchtower NEVER releases an accounting of its finances? Yet it encourages "organized donations" from the readers of the magazines. The WT says, "We want your money, but we aren't going to tell you how we spend it!" --VM44
have put january 2002 km up on my site, and archived earlier uploads:.
http://jsefton.users1.50megs.com/kmscans.htm.
thanks again to dmouse for the scans - he's already sent me all of 2002 so far - it's just a matter of time for me to get them up on my site.
I noticed that the link to the November KM does not work. Also, maybe bandwidth usage could be reduced if the archived KMs were made into zipped files? --VM44
jehovah's witness elders are really managers appointed by headquarters to manage the local operation of the kingdom halls.
forget all this "spirit appointed" stuff.
they cannot make a decision without following wt directives, or checking the wt bound volumes, or contacting brooklyn itself..."hello service department?...help!
Jehovah's Witness Elders are really managers appointed by Headquarters to manage the local operation of the Kingdom Halls. That is it! Nothing more! Forget all this "spirit appointed" stuff. They cannot make a decision without following WT directives, or checking the WT bound volumes, or contacting Brooklyn itself..."Hello Service Department?...HELP!"
The "Elders" are not competent to help people with family, spiritual, or emotional problems. These "Elders" consider managing the affairs of the local congregation more important than any severe problem a Brother or Sister might have. They are imposters, given a fake mantle of authority, not earned by any ability other than an ability to present themselves as a "Watchtower Man," ready to support directives and policies of the almighty WT organization no matter what they are.
OK...the above is nothing new, but I had to vent right now *taking deep breath* --VM44

besides the great franz books, anyone read anything else jw related that they can recommend?
"A People for His Name," by Timothy White, published in the late 60s, was very good. I hope that someone can get permission to put it up on the internet. (might be hard to do, as Tim White was a pseudonym) --VM44
linguistic ability can cause one to lose a trait that is essential to true christians-teachableness-1 timothy 6;4
A typical ploy the WT writers use when they want to rant against something is to talk about all the bad things that result from it.
I get the impression that the writer of the article is not impressed with anyone knowing Biblical languages unless that person also agrees with everything the WT teaches. If that person points out anything that might be wrong with what the WT writes, then that person becomes "unteachable"
How did "knowing Biblical languages" come up in an article about humility anyway?
Think someone at Bethel got whooped in a conversation with a Bible language expert? Hence the need to point out the "non-teachableness" of those language experts! --VM44
is begging a problem in jws in view of what was said in the wt february 15 2001 p 30?
What was said there? --VM44
linguistic ability can cause one to lose a trait that is essential to true christians-teachableness-1 timothy 6;4
Furthermore pride in having linguistic ability can cause one to lose a trait that is essential to all true Christians - teachableness
OK, I can read between the lines, why is the Watchtower now against people knowing Biblical languages? --VM44
again, thanks to dmouse for his hard work in scanning these things!
this is the url:.

Under no circumstances should secretaries make out a publisher's record card for one who moves into the congregation without reliable authentic information from the previous congregation or the branch office."
and the WT has said they keep no membership roles? What about this publisher's record card? --VM44
