Very curious that we get to hear about many of the costs and expences of the WTBTS and how much money it takes to keep the missionaries. CO's, and DO's going but we NEVER hear about how much money is donated each year to the WTBTS. How about full disclosure? I know it won't ever happen but we should all demand it anyway!

Does 1 Peter 1:16 ring a bell with anyone?
16 No, it was not by following artfully contrived false stories that we acquainted YOU with the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but it was by having become eyewitnesses of his magnificence.
I cannot think of many of the WT's teachings that are not of the "arttfully contrived false stories" variety. In fact, I think that all of their stuff is "artfully contrived" and it makes me angry with myself that I bought it for sooooooooo long.

Selective Statistics & extraordinary JW claims
by Syme in* a jw family leave their crops and livestock unattained to go to a convention.
when they return, the crops and livestock are doing just fine.. * a desperate person is anxiously praying to god to give her a chance to know him.
even before the prayer is concluded, two jws knock at her door.. * a pioneer prefers to take leave from her work in order to attend the pioneer school, even though she's sure she'll be fired.

I once prayed for a puppy! That very afternoon my dad bought me a hotdog for lunch! I was "convinced" that my prayer had been answered!

regarding blood
by never a jw inas a father of a baptized jw 17 year old girl i am concerned about her stand on blood.
so i decided to do some research.
i found the following in the elders' book "sheperd the flock of god" pages 110-112.

If needed just take the blood tranfusion and claim you were pressured into it. Tell them that the doctors used "medical warfare" to trick you. Save your life and don't be stupid! Tell them you only took "fractions" (lol) but by the time you knew it the many "fractions" 'overlapped' and enough "fractions" made it whole blood and all the while this happened "invisibly" to to those without "eyes of understanding"! I'm sure any body of elders would understand this reasoning.

is there any biblical event that has a universally accepted date on which it occurred?
by jeremiah18:5-10 ini'm intrigued by the whole "bible chronology" topic, but have never really dug into it because to put any of it together you need a historically reliable starting point.
this wasn't a problem as a practicing jw because you just assumed their dates were right.
i would like for someone to give me one event described in the bible that is universally established and accepted historically that i can use as a reliable starting point.

BOE Letter: New Adjustments

My take is that attending the AGM will become an annual event and take the place of one of the days that use to be spent at the CA. I also see the District Convention(aka Regional Convention) going to 2 days. I will miss the Special Assembly Day, SAD, because it made me SAD to attend the not so special gathering. And when did we start having a "Memorial Season"? The Memorial is one day, 45 minutes of blah, blah and that makes a Season! Wow! Next will be the AGM season in October. So JW's will have their own Holy Day seasons. Where would such an idea come from?

The "new light" for this year's DC or AGM will be the 'revelation' that Jesus was really talking about "apostates" when he spoke about the "evil slave" and that the "evil slave" is not hypothetical after all.

"Better to illuminate than merely to shine, to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate."
by thomasaquinas indo you ever get the feeling some on this site represent a view of themselves, as needing to "shine"?.
academia by it's very nature represents this.
if one is truly a member of academia then "knock yourself out".
