From Chile I have to say you Thank you for the information. I've seen at UN web site that letter. Now, I can show to some brothers this informations saying it's taken from an official web site. It's incredible what's happening, and it would be great to see the WT answer to all of this.

Here in Chile we have a brother who is bethelist, and some years ago, he was visiting an old sister. She was very ill, and all the family (non JW) knew she would die soon. The brother was asking her for the testament (last will) and trying to get her house as a gift for the chilean branch. Her family noted she was being pressed to sign a paper and, in that moment they take the brother away from the home, and of course, they quick his ass.
We were thinking that those homes for old brothers and sisters are only an "arrangement" for getting their possesions. What do you think?

dear friends.
do you know why the "reasoning" book was reprinted in 1989 after 4 years of published?
because there were some problems with the editor of a greek-english lexicon, by liddell & scott.
Dear friends
Do you know why the "Reasoning" book was reprinted in 1989 after 4 years of published? Because there were some problems with the editor of A Greek-English Lexicon, by Liddell & Scott. I was reading some letter between the WT and that editor.
When you read about the cross (in the reasoning 1985), and the WT quotes Liddell and Scott, the WT gives the impression that they have the same idea about the cross than the WT, so the editor of that publication had to write to the society explaining they have to change that.
Well I don't know if you understand me, but I'll try to be clearer next time.

Hi dear friends......
One question.... what will you do next april 04, sunday?........ I know you have a lot of ideas for being so far from the KH that day, and not attending the Memorial. And maybe, you are planning what to say when your friends JW ask to you the reasons for not being there. Or maybe, you'll be there, dressing beauty clothes and smiling every one at the KH only as an obligation. Or maybe, because you love all the meaning of that night.

Dear Special K
For me it's so difficult to understand what's happening with all of you there. Here, in Santiago of Chile, we have 33° celsius, it's so warm. The sun is burning everything, we are getting roasted.
I hope you will be OK. You and your family receive my love.

everytime you go to an assembly or to a convention or the co pays a visit, there's always a call for people to pioneer.
they always drag out a couple of pioneers on to the stage and "interview" them.
the one question they always ask is if the pioneers have any regrets over pioneering.
I was a pioneer for 4 years. The CO always called me for attending the special meetings for the pioneers at the Assembly Hall by the time of the circuit assembly, and I was an instructor for those ocassions. I have to be honest, I enjoyed those moments, and I have good remembrances of it. But at the present, I wouldn't spend any time in that activitie.

hi friends.
i was reading that naomi campell's mother is an active jw, and i understood that she was preaching to her daughter about the marvelous and wonderful organization that is the wt, and for a moment i thought that for all the males in the congregations would be so nice to have her as our sister..... imagine......sister campbell is arriving to the meeting at the kh and she is late and walks slowly looking for a place to get sit, she is wearing beautiful red underwear...... or maybe, in front of wt headquarters in ny, the organization placed a "pasarela" (i don't know the word for the place where the models walk showing dresses) and all the bros and sis are buying the watchtower and awake magazines from the campell's hands.
here in chile, we have a brother who owns a factory of women underwear called "intime".. chileanrick

the answer?
it depends on the context of the film.. .
a number of witnesses in my cong absolutely refuse to watch harry potter.
LOTR and HP are films and books containing a lot of supernatural facts. The Bible contains some topics in the same way. I mean, it doesn't matter if is Jehovah God, Satan or others who are making somethings out of natural, or containing some violence...... imagine, a serpent "talking" to a woman, a pair of swords closing the paradise, a profet taken away by a wind with a fire chariots, Jesus walking on the water, Moses and the 10 plagues and others....... so, I think the only difference between the Bible and secular books is the name of the author.
