  Question...RE: Aussie WW2 WT Scam #2...

  by TheApostleAK in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is not a question about "the racket".....(the one that knorr made the aussie jws apologise to jehovah about)....but its about the sentence that is printed on the copyright page on all ww2 aussie watchtower books that were printed when they were banned.. .

  the sentence goes (something like) "printed by barry gibb, whose usual abode is (???

  )" (can't remember the exact address but it was a few doors down from the old aussie bethel at strathfield.).

  I think you are talking about George Gibb. I have a few of the mags with his name on the back cover.

  I am almost finished copying the transcript and will be selling it soon. It will be a lot less than the amount quoted above. The transcript makes very interesting reading.

  There is no 'new light' here. Just another example of not letting the scriptures get in the way of a man made doctrine.

  No big story, I was in my early teens and everyone around me was getting dipped. Why not me? Getting dipped is the fast track to respectability when you are young. What about minors not being competent to enter into a contract? Especially when the outcome of defaulting on the contract is so serious.

  I realise that the name Ita Buttrose may not ring any bells with most of the people frequenting this board. Last Sunday WT study used a quote in the first paragraph from the Australian Womens Weekly a monthly (?) magazine here in Australia. As usual the quote was not referenced so it was a bit hard to find the original quotation but, it comes from an article from Ita Buttrose, a well known personality in Australia. Her credits at the bottom of the page state that she is a regular panelist on Beauty and the Beast and is the author of 4 books. Her novel. What is love, will be published soon. She also had a song written about her by the band Cold Chisel saying I believe, I believe 'cause Ita told me so.

  I am disappointed that the society needed to use a quote from the womens weekly to support a study article. What is next, using the national enquirer as the authoritive source on extra terrestial beings?

  Fair go! the WT has sunk to new lows

  I grew up during the 1960' and 1970's. I could never blame the '1975 thing' as a reason for not getting a good education. I hated school and wanted to get out and make some money. The 'Big A' was a good reason for not continuing my education. I did not go back to study for many years. Now I have an MBA and manage a company that is quite successful. I am not sure that a degree is anything more than an example of being able to complete a course. It seems that the piece of paper gets you in the door but then it is up to you to show you can do the job.

  More than just two Birthdays in the Bible!

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the society, in defence of their stand against birthday celebrations, often state that the only two birthdays mentioned in the bible were of ungodly people and that harm resulted both times.. however, depending on which translation you use, there are at least five birthdays mentioned in the bible and, interestingly, these additional ones are all of jehovah's servants!.

  even the new world translation has a third birthday celebration that jw's rarely, if ever, speak about.. .

  please note that not all translations are accepted as 100% accurate by jw's and that i myself am not completely sure that these extra birthdays are truly what they seem - i simply state that they they are recorded there as birthday celebrations.. .

  *** Rbi8 Job 1:4 ***
  And his sons went and held a banquet at the house of each one on his own day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

  To give more credence to the thought that Jobs’ sons were celebrating their birthday we can look at Job 3:1-3

  *** Rbi8 Job 3:1-3 ***
  3 It was after this that Job opened his mouth and began to call down evil upon his day. 2 Job now answered and said:
  3 “Let the day perish on which I came to be born,
  Also the night that someone said, ‘An able-bodied man has been conceived!’

  His sons held a banquet ‘each one on his own day’. Job ‘began to call down evil upon his day’. What day? ‘Let the day perish on which I was born’.

  It is hard to argue against the fact that Job allowed his children to celebrate their birthdays.
