In order to restore the trust of the brothers, and because all of Jehovah's Witnesses share some community guilt before Jehovah in this matter?since we all were unwittingly employed to disseminate UN propaganda to the public
I don't buy the community guilt thing. The joe average jw has no recourse but to go out in filed service and try to place magazines.
Please be reminded that no one is above counsel.
Unfortunately, the WTS doesn't think so......and this ain't gonna hapen either:
If members of the Governing Body knowingly cooperated with the United Nations DPI, for whatever reason they may have felt justified in their doing so, then they, too, should answer to a judicial committee, the same as any publisher who might join or support a political organization

Have You Ever Heard This Explanation Why 144,000 is a Literal Number?
by Had Enough inthe speaker said tonight (yes i went to the memorial to appease my worried family .
well he said its very simple....the scripture talks about the lamb and the 144,000. it doesn't say lambs as in more than one....no, it says lamb referring to the "literal number of one lamb".. so thats how we know that the 144,000 is a literal number and not symbolic like all the rest of revelation.. ok....now am i going bonkers...or has anyone else every heard that explanation before?
i know i never have and that doesn't make any sense to me at all.. had enough

One reason given is that the number of 144,000 must be literal (and limited) because it contrasts with the great crowd, "which no man was able to number" - the idea being that if symbolic then no actual number would be given.

New Announcement At The Memorial?
by dawn27 ini was just wondering if anyone has heard anything about an announcement to be made at the memorial this year?
my family is repeatedly pressuring me to go and the newest approach is that they've heard about an announcement, never made before, that concerns innactive ones or ones who have fallen away,, that is all that they would tell me.
are they going to come find and disfellowship us unless we go back or can we now come back "no questions asked" (yah right)?

No doubt many of us still recall the "special announcement" which turned out to be nothing more than the "donation arrangement". It was made on a Sunday, and the KH I went to was packed, with several inactive and df'd people included.

"snuck out the back-door and was never disfellowshipped"....Sounds like a good plan!

the king of the north
by Curious Mind inwhat is the latest incarnation of the king of the north in dubland as i had an elder tell me on sunday that the muslim nations were the king now.
i had not heard that before and it seems to me that they are just pulling anybody out of their arse as the king as they become more influential, how many times are they going to get it wrong before people wake up to it?

If they come out with some "new light" that it's Islamic Fundamentalism, I'd have a real problem with that conclusion. It's not accurate geographically, for one thing, since the war on terror is west - east. Also, I can't see where, in Daniel, Islamic Fundies fit in, since there's only vss 45, 46 of Daniel 11 to still be fulfilled, according to the wts. Those verses:
44 But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many. 45 He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at [6] the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
How that could apply to Islamic Fundies or Muslim religion in general is beyond me, since those verses are simply a continuation of previous verses already applied to the Soviets.
Here's a wild guess though:
The wts comes out and says that since Islamics beat back the Soviets in Afghanistan, they become the King of the North (a stretch). They then set out in a rage by committing acts of terrorism, and gain some sort of foothold in the mid-East, before coming to an end.
Such a thing just seems very farfetched to me.

wts publications have stated that man reached the "pinnacle" of his achievements in the 20th century. I would think that such a statement will prove false, if not already, in the near future.

Anyone interested in cyber sex?
by RubyTuesday innow that i have your attention.
with the total anonymity available on-line, is it truly cheating, to flirt with, tease, or even "have sex" with someone via your computer?
is this the same as actually committing adultery, or is it just generally "harmless" fun?
