The reasoning book was the holy grail. You never left home without it. I was pioneering during all the 80's In your service case the reasoning book took priority. Now it's discarded like the piece of shite that it really was. I see from the website that it's available online.

The Reasoning Book
by Magnum inthe book reasoning from the scriptures was released in the 1980's, and it was used at virtually every meeting for service, every service meeting, and every theocratic ministry school meeting thereafter.
many jws had copies bound together with their bibles.
it was huge in jw land back then.. at that time, with the reasoning book, jws were trained to keep conversations going in spite of objections, to almost stick their feet in people's doors to keep conversations going, to defend "the truth," to argue doctrine, etc.. compare the situation today with that of the 80's.

For a long time , the gb has been prepping/grooming the rank and file that there will be changes coming that we may not agree on. I believe that this will be the next big change. It's in the works but they haven't rolled it out completely but its coming.
Prior to the JW affiliation with the UN, many of us would never have believed it. Well, it was true.
I never thought I would see the day they would accept beards and remove the reporting and yet here we are.
The 1914 doctrine is not sustainable , 607 is a made up year , it has to be eliminated.
This is an evil, pragmatic organization that is looking out for its own existence and they will stop at nothing. They will trample their own doctrines to survive.

I can remember hearing a talk, by Glen Howe from the Canadian Branch about all the victories the dubs were winning in courts. Those days are gone bye bye.
I bet this piece of news wont be on on the "breaking news" on the website.

THIS is how Jehovah operates? Examining GB Jefffrey Winder's words
by Terry ingoverning body member jeffrey winder on jw dot org:“we are not embarrassed about ‘adjustments’ that are made; nor is an apology needed for not getting it ‘exactly right’ previously.
we understand: this is how jehovah operates.”
1952 no wt 6/1/52 p.338 1965 maybe they will be resurrected .

Norway JWBorg news - WTBT$ demands subsidy despite their loss of religious status
by EasyPrompt inhttps://cne.news/article/3755-norwegian-jehovah-s-witnesses-demand-subsidy-despite-their-loss-of-religious-status.
jesus never demanded "subsidies" from the government to share truth.
wtbt$ leaders love the god of their bellies/selfishdesires - having others provide communes for them in opposition to christ's direction.. .

What Happened to 2034?
by NotFormer insome years ago the wt started putting it out there that noah took 120 years to build the ark, and since the wt was the new ark, it may allow them up to 2034 (1914 + 120) before armageddon.
it could have been their new 1975 to get excited about, but i don't see any mention of it at all now.
what happened during the two decades since last i observed anything about the wt?.

I’m not sure what this means!
by NeedsProof inyesterday i was visited by 2 witnesses, and we had a long chat about lots of things!
one of them named claire took the lead and i instantly felt some sort of connection to her, after we had spoken and they had left i started to have this overwhelming feeling to research her and what she had spoken about but i couldn’t find her anywhere on any website or social media, so i left it and thought nothing more of it all day….
however the strange thing is i had a dream that night and claire was in it, many things happened in this dream that i was told i was only allowed to speak about with claire, i can speak of the dream to others but the details only me and claire can know!
