If anything, it's got to be a new reference bible.
This is what a bethelite who works directly in the bindery at Wallkill basically eluded to me. That the reference NWT, deluxe NWT, hardcover NWT, and softcover NWT are all being discontinued, and combined into one single format. It makes sense, that way they only have to print one kind of bible.
*It should be noted that this bethelite is a peon. He tests the glue they use, so take the above info with a grain of salt.
jw leaks has published court documents relating to the removal of the body of elders in the menlo park congregation of jehovahs witnesses (california, usa), the seizing of control of millions of dollars of congregation assets by watchtower bible and tract society of new york, and the related rico enterprise civil lawsuit against jpmorgan chase bank et al.. backstory: in 2010 the watchtower bible and tract society of new york seized control of millions of dollars of prime real estate assets belonging to the menlo park congregation of jehovahs witnesses, california, by forcefully removing the body of elders and dispersing the congregation.
money invested by the congregation was also removed from their bank accounts by watchtower representatives.
those within the congregation that objected to this were threatened with disfellowshipping.
What initially prompted the Society to seize control of the Kingdom Hall and accounts? Is there any back info on what started everything?
in the paragraph menu it is no longer possible to select "quote".. i tried using the html button to insert quote paragraphs but they get stripped out when you submit.. all the previous posts that included quote boxes have lost the formatting making it impossible to tell if somebody is saying something or quoting somebody.. can it be restored?
thanks.
Along with OUTLAW I've gotten the forum tools back as well. Though, I messed up the html in some of my posts, and whatever change Simon made to get the forum tools back deranged those posts, lol, oh well. I'm guessing he was making changes to his css styles.

Here we can talk about anything, share anything, ask anything without fear of being judged, condemned, harassed, ostracised,
.. or Dis-Membered!!
Very well put!
i have been to my old kh for 2 funerals since i left 20 yrs ago but i don't think they count.
so i am thinking of visiting a different hall on a sunday for the public talk and wt study.
i want to go just to remind myself how simple minded it is and to hopefully help me appreciate how wonderful and free my life now is.
Without ever being directly critical of JWs, and without coming off as being satirical or sarcastic, logically and honest-heartedly expose the errors of your former religion in such a way as to make it impossible for the JWs not to see their own organization's behavior and policies being mirrored in your former false religion. What would be super-golden, is if the Watchtower study material is of such a nature that it affords you an opportunity to share, in a brief comment, one example of the JW-mirroring, hypocrisy of your former religion and how you were able to logically refute it with scripture. That would be a TTATT WMD! That ought to really get them thinking.
lol, such an epic idea. You should find some way of recording everything for us
mfw i hear the comment
there's a lot.
.
one that i just don't understand is that no one should hold hands during a prayer.. where the hell do they come up with these rules??
Over the years, I've hotly debated the beard rule.
In a priceless discussion some years ago, someone with great exuberance asks me " . . . do you think Jehovah would want you to grow a beard????!!!!!"
to which my equally emphatic response was "are you JOKING? If Jehovah didn't want me to have a beard, HE WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ONE GROW ON MY FRIGGIN FACE"

erbie, I would agree with you there. I think most of new people joining this site are either just plain confused, or disagree entirely with the "new light". Oh well, as it's been stated in other threads here, most of the WT changes are really only circumstantial reactions to current events or developments.

Hi Warehouse, welcome.
You are going to have to stop thinking if you really want to stay inside.
Cofty,
On this I would politely disagree (Proverbs 1:1-9, Malachi 3:16)

Warehouse .......wowie...you could be WT's worst enemy,
... if you really wanted to!

Why don't you keep on hanging around here... put your feet up,
& just relax and see what happens. Your synapses need a rest,
I say this as a mother .

Because this is your first post...I'll put you on our Newbie list,
just scout around here & you'll find it.
sincerely clarity
As a son who has lost his own mother, I greatly appreciate your words and generosity. You should know that I have scouted around here, for many years infact. But there is still alot more to learn and find from others experiences and genuine people like yourself. I do plan to stick around for as long as I am permitted! A long time ago, a man once said that you should love your enemies and pray for those persecuting you. If it is at all within my power, I wish to be no ones enemy.
