in the december 15th 2002 watchtower magazine we find the article "view matters from god's standpoint", relating to the 113th graduating class of gilead.
on page 24 is presented a statement which gerrit losch, a member of the governing body made during a talk at that graduation: "...he called attention to many occasions when jehovah said to his servants :i am with you.".
however, jesus christ is conspicuously absent, since his words which close the gospel of matthew are pratically identical, when he said :" i am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.
Thanks for your feedback all.
Its remarkable what you say Scully, that the word Jehovah (or God for that matter) is printed more often than Jesus (or Christ) in the Watchtower Society publications.
Jesus is mentionned more times than Jehovah by the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures. Incredibly however, this ratio is not respected in the Society literature.

However, Jesus Christ is conspicuously absent, since his words which close the Gospel of Matthew are pratically identical, when he said :" I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things." (Matthew 28: 20). God's spoke these words to the old nation of Israel and are not in force anymore, whereas Jesus' words apply to Christians who lived as of the first century all the way to modern times, who have faith in Him. These Christians who are replacing ancient Israel.
Another sad example of the Watchtower Society pushing Christ out of the picture so that the Governing Body can take his place.

here in canada, there are people working in areas up north where kingdom halls are hundreds of miles away.
how can a witness attend a meeting, if there are no kingdom halls around him?
that just proves how stupid it is to think that just jw will be saved.
Listen in on the phone? Think of the longdistance charges!
transcript for preview of the fifth estate's january 29, 2003 program (lovingly and painstakingly transcribed by scully .
bill mckeown: welcome back to the fifth estate.
next week on the program, a story about trust, betrayal and shattered faith.
Thanks for your hard work. BTW, how many hours did it take you to do this?
its been a pretty wierd day.
its 40 degrees outside and the suffocation factor thru airlessness is way over that.
the bushfires 200 miles away have lowered a pall of dense smoke over the entire city and you can smell the burnt wood smell.
Don't complain too much about the heat. This week in Montreal it hit -25C during the day, with a wind chill factor of -40C.
its been over two years now since the g.b.
revised the legal organizational structure to further stress "the ministry of the word".. james n. pellechia, public affairs director for the religion,denied that the potential legal problems has anything to do with the reorganization.. he said the g.b.
is simply being relieved of administrative tasks so it can concentrate more on "the ministry of the word".. the g.b.
You're absolutely right. Publications released in the last two years definitely have nothing new to teach or to impart, but are only rehashed older materials which migrated from hardcover books to softcover books.
How many times can you study, restudy and underline the same information over and over again year after year? It's stuff that you should know by now, and if you don't know it after all these years then your hopeless.
i was just looking over some of the scans of the km; now, i haven't seen a km for almost ten years, so maybe this isn't that new: but when did they start providing publishers with a presentation for the wt and awake magazines?
i remember sweating over my presentation every time new mags were featured.
when did this start?.
Thats because the IQ of the Dubs has been slowly dropping over the years, so the words are literally being put into the mouthes of the publishers.
This also proves that the Dubs don't preach the "good news" from their heart and that their faith is not based on the good news about the Christ, but instead have a spirituality that is spoon fed from the FDS and everything they do is based on faith on the FDS.

copenhagen, jan 23 (reuters) - a danish bomb squad shot to pieces a teddy bear left on the doorstep of a jehovah's witness hall on thursday evening with a note saying it contained a bomb, police said.. a group of jehovah's witnesses on their way into a meeting had found the cuddly toy with a note reading: "if you touch me i will blow up.
That's one way of getting the meeting cancelled!

I just saw a 1 minute preview of next Wednesday's The Fifth Estate. They showed the Silentlambs march, an interview with a victim, as well as a copy of the elder's secret manual : "Pay attention to yourselves and all the flock". Cool. Can't wait to see the show next week. Is there anyway of posting on the internet a VHS recording of this show?
