well, i finally got a response to my letter, and it only took them almost three months!
models of efficiency, they are.
actually, big tex and i think they had to run this through the legal department.
The letter was written by "SDE:SSD"
Whoever wrote that letter should not be able to hid behind anonymous intitals!
We should know who is so cold hearted to write such a letter!
Or does it matter? would such a letter come from whoever responded?

from silentlambs (bill bowen):.
on thursday of this week world wide work money will again be spent to protect a pedophile.
in addition it will also be spent to pay money to a disfellowshipped person in order to find a way to prevent them from assisting the court case of abuse survivors.
I am not up on the case either....but....can someone tell me simply this:
Why is the Watchtower interested in defending Paul Berry to such a degree?
Is it because they truly believe that he is innocent?

in the thread "jehovahs witness university" there are many humorous posts about what would be taught at a jw university.
in the thread it was pointed out that the jws do have a recognized school, gilead.. what i have never seen is a list of the courses taught at gilead.
they must have some structured curriculum in order to grant a diploma.
I wrote: "...published in 1985, 8 years ago"
OK..where did those missing 10 years go to?

blondie, Thank you for that research.
Notice some of the books they used in 1971. "Life Everlasting—in Freedom of the Sons of God" there's a classic!
and "Babylon the Great Has Fallen!" God’s Kingdom Rules! which used to be on the WT CD-ROM, but was removed in the lastest 2001 version!
"...The Watchtower, to which the students are referred for research." Hmmm, "research" appears to mean only one thing to JWs, going through old Watchtower articles!
It is interesting that the lastest small piece of information was published in 1985, 8 years ago, and the most detailed info was published in 1971, 32 years ago. One is left with the impression that the Watchtower does not really want to discuss Gilead.

i thought this point might have been covered in the march 1, 2003 wt but in searching i could find no reference to the issue.
so i apologize in advance if this point has already been wxhausted.
while at bethel in the 60s i met hayden covington.
Hayden Covington was disfellowshipped for drinking too much. But he was reinstated. --VM44
modern dub meetings follow the format of the first century christian meetings, or is that vice versa?
subliminal messages reinforce the message found in the watchtower of november 15, 2002. page six shows a picture of st paul's basilica in rome with the message that this is not the place for "spiritual refreshment".
the facing page (p7) shows an illustration of what is purported to be a meeting of first century christians.
The facing page (p7) shows an illustration of what is purported to be a meeting of first century Christians. Just like the picture on the following page of a modern-day meeting at a Kingdom Hall, there is a chairman facing neat rows of Christians of all ages, some with hands raised to make a comment. Open before the chairman are scrolls.
Can someone scan and post this picture? I have to see this! I wonder if the WT will eventually try to get away saying the scrolls were very early editions of the Watchtower and Awake! magazines! --VM44
is there anywhere i can download watchtower 99 or any version for that matter for research.
I agree, one should ask directly of whoever has it.
Searched for posts containing "Watchtower Library CD"
I find many posts where people are 'talking' about hosting an ISO of the WT-CD.
If there is a post where someone says they have it for downloading, then I must have skipped over it!
It is late here, I probably am too tired to find it now, I will try again tomorrow.
