  just visited with my daughter and noticed a new paperback edition of the "revelation" book on her bookshelf.. i presume that this edition was updated for the current book studies?

  The new paperback Revelation book with the "2006 printing" notice inside the cover does have the changes in them.

  The NEW MEMBERS ONLY WACKTOWER????

  by Honesty in

  2. friends

  the reason i ask..... a cultist on another board says it is "just as freely downloadable as the public edition.':.

  well, a little different from the km.

  i agree it is geared to jehvovah's people, mainly, but it was amusing, when the change was first being discussed around here, it was all like.... "oh the supersecret jw wt!

  Hi Honesty,

  You can download the audio for both the public and study editions of the WT straight from one of the Society's web-sites.

  http://www.jw.org/

  I'm not sure where (or if there is) anyplace that a text/.pdf file can be downloaded from.

  Nothing to add to this topic.

  I just wanted to welcome back trudy after six years of non-posting.

  Can you count a bible study with a 2 year old?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  according to my friend, an elder said he could count 4 hours a month and a bible study if he talked about jehovah to his 2 year old son.. this would go some way to getting in his 10 hours a month as the elder said to my friend "the co won't look at anyone whose hours are less than 10.".

  ridiculous eh?.

  If the elder says to count these 2 year olds in along with the general attendance at the KH, then by all means they should be counted in as Bible studies. They can't have it both ways.

  Funny and cute.

  Only those who have been in a Kingdom Hall would know.

  Something makes me think that this might make the rounds in e-mails among JWs.

  Kingdumb Discomfort

  by WTWizard in

  2. friends

  i have noticed that most kingdumb hells have had numerous comfort problems.

  one of the most consistent is that they are extremely dry at this time of year.

  i can remember when i had chapped hands, that it is always worse after sitting there for 2 hours.

  We have a septic tank for our Kingdom Hall. It is situated outside underground, though only about 10 feet from the main entrance doors. It reeks about half the time. Gastly sickening during the hot and humid summer months.

  I wonder if it is to keep the brothers/sisters from taking a break during the program by just lounging on the front steps.

  How can we be sure Jehovah is using the WTS?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on pages 638 and 639 of its october 15 1954 watchtower, the organization answered the following question:.

  how does jehovahs spirit help the faithful and discreet slave arrive at the truth of a matter?

  the society does not claim infallibility or inspiration.

  (Matthew 7:15-20) 1

  15 “Be on the watch for the false prophets that come to YOU in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits YOU will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they? 17 Likewise every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit; 18 a good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, neither can a rotten tree produce fine fruit. 19 Every tree not producing fine fruit gets cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Really, then, by their fruits YOU will recognize those [men].

  Is the Watchtower Society running short of cash?

  by isnrblog in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is the fact that they are printing fewer magazines, like having just one watchtower for a whole month indicate financial troubles?.

  definitly a cost saving measure.. www.isnrblog.com.

  They are now having audio downloads for the magazines from the internet instead of creating/shipping CD's/MP3's now. The audio cassettes have been discontinued. Yes, part of cost cutting.

  The magazines may go way of being used exclusively for promising RVs. Tract work is cheaper for the cold calling ministry.

  It makes me wonder how much is really being donated for the annual item literature, such as yearbooks, daily text and calendars. Do you think many publishers will consider these as a "year-end" gift from the society for all the hard work that they are doing? I know I never donated for those items. What about the DVD's for the videos that are being released? Is anyone paying for these?
