i just noticed that the bound volumes of the watchtower and awake magazines for the year 2004 are now up to $80.00 and $70.00, respectively.

the beginning bid was $8.00.

why would these bound volumes be going for so much?

The Height of Irony

"the endeavor to compel all men to think alike on all subjects, .

culminated in the great apostasy and the development of the great papal system, and thereby the gospel, the one faith that paul and the other apostles set forth, was lost - buried under the mass of uninspired decrees of popes and councils.

the unity of the early church, based upon the simple gospel and bound only by love, gave place to the bondage of the church of rome...each new reform movement (like protestantism) has made the failure of attempting to make a creed just large enough for its prime movers.

E-WATCHMAN LETTER - WHY NOT SELL IT AS AN ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION ON EBAY?
by Gary1914 in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
i don't get to post much here but i read this board whenever i can.. anyway, in reference to the fabulous e-watchman letter rearding the watchtower's association with the un as an ngo, why not offer the information electronically on ebay.

no stamps, no mailings and it could be held as a private auction so that identities could be protected.

it could be listed as a multiple item auction thus saving money on listing costs and the cost for the information could be minimal, say 10 or 20 cents.. ebay has a worldwide audience in excess of 50 million people and there are many elders and pioneers who sell merchandise there in an effort to supplement their income.

The Beginning of Brother and Sister So and So

1. jw
2. friends
do any of you remember when they used to call the brothers and sisters by their first name from the platform?

the organization was much smaller then and much more intimate than it is today and since we were all "friends" we called each other by our first names even from the platform.. well all that changed one day.

the way i heard it was that some sister whose husband was not in the truth persuaded him to attend the meeting with her one day.
