even though watchtower's application has been rejected, they will be allowed to use the logo because it is for religious usage and will not be confused with commercial products.. the trademark office did note this:.

indeed, numerous other marks are registered reflecting the letters j and w:.

Can they count time for these rehearsals?

It's all considered sacred service doing the "Lord's work" in these "momentous" Last Days. Of course they count the time! Anything to avoid actual witnessing.

what a joke the campaign is.....the sheeple are so blind.

what does this have to do with what jesus taught us to do.

i feel like i was campaigning for a politician.. next thing your going to see on the website is a donation button visible to all vistors without having to log in just bypass the middle man.

(Matthew 11:1) 11

"Now when Jesus had finished giving instructions to his twelve disciples, he set out from there to teach with their trolley carts and preach to drink Starbucks Frapuccino and promote a website in their cities."

Billy TEB: Nothing like elderly people coming to your door to promote technology they neither use nor understand

You can learn a lot from an octogenerian JW talking about the Interweb.

The END did NOT come in their lifetime part 2," They lied to the end!"

a sweet old sister recently passed away.

that moved me to write part 1 of " the end did not come..." so here is the latest.

sister x goes to the hospital for her issues.
AndDontCallMeShirley

Did I die? Am I in the paradise?" A comforter says, " Yes. You did. You are in paradise now."

.

They didn't lie to her...they were using "Theocratic War Strategy". You see, in JW Land, lying to support Jehovah™, the god of truth, is acceptable. He likes it when his servants pull a fast one on another person.

For 2015: JW women dancing around giant phallic symbols, "sacred poles". JW men will still be required to "Footloose" until they get new light.

Alpha Man: I have seen everthing now

Oh, I firmly believe we haven't seen anything yet. This is just the beginning of WT's secularization of itself.

Get ready for fund raising events like KH Bake Sales, garage sales, and Bingo Night. Some may view this statement as far-fetched, but all one has to do is look at what WT has historically condemned other religions for doing...then eventually ends up doing the very same thing.

Ebola -274 LDS/Mormon Miss. are re-assigned, WT doing what?

the lds church (mormons) have pulled 274 missionaries out of the ebola affected areas of africa and sent them to other lands.. does the wt care enough about its sales reps to do the same ?

@ Blondie: The WTS is very money oriented and would not want to pay to move them elsewhere.

.

I see a new WT-sponsored donation fund coming quickly: The "Bring The Missionaries Home From Disease-Infected Regions" fund.

JWs will donate generously, WT will keep the excess.

AlphaMan: It was a time counting joke.

This describes all JW preaching activity, not just the idiot carts.

There was a recent video (I don't remember the source- a JW or JW.Org) that showed what WT had JWs do for the Memorial in these areas: they still held the Memorial....but told the brothers to "wash their hands thoroughly", and they didn't pass the emblems*.

That's WT's 'solution' to dealing with a deadly disease! The show must go on.

.

* without the emblems, isn't it just another meeting? And, since it was just another meeting, considering the circumstances, coudln't it have been cancelled?

sparky1: During our meeting with the Elders I said to the Elder that had been dancing that 'he was involved too' and so 'what about his conduct?'. His answer to my question was "I only did it a little bit".

Now why can't a publisher use this same lame-assed excuse in a judicial committee to get out of apostasy charges, fornication, or any other "sin"?

elder: "did you commit fornication?"

publisher: "yes....but "I only did it a little bit".
