wat would pope francis say to his kardinals if he was in charge of jw.org ?.
the 15 sins of the witness officials?.
g.. .
Almost makes me want to join the Catholic Church! NOT!
This pope is like the Catholic version of Ray Franz. Anyway I like him because he has a pair of b**ls. Says what he really believes and doesn't necessarily follow party lines.

Hi Balaamsass2,

so, imagine that you're just a regular joe who's not familiar with the witnesses and is looking for the answers to life, the universe, and everything.
you hear a knock at your door.
before long, you are studying with a jehovah's witness.
The WTBTS is morphing into something else. (???????) Not exactly sure what. Doctrines are changing. Long held beliefs are being tossed out and replace with 'overlapping' interpretations. This is certainly not the religion it was just 25 years ago. JW. org is now the 'brand' name. Thank god (or whoever) for all these changes! This has certainly awakened awareness in a great many long time jw's, me included. (60 years a jw)
The total hiprocracy of the wtbts is now very clear to us and for that we should all be thankful. At least we now have "fractions" of truth to help guide us on our journey.

i heard a preist pose this question and i'll admit, it made me think.. if your neighbor had a dog and a monkey and his dog bite you.
would you accept an apology from the neighbors monkey?.
just asking.
What Terry said!
Sometimes, Terry, you seem a little loooong in your posts, BUT I enjoy every one of them. You are a gentleman and a scholar. Not too many of them around anymore.

except picture changes, what are the content changed in new bible teach book?
which pages?.
I've heard that the new 'Teach book' contains "overlapping" teachings.
just saying

the 2014 revised edition of "what does the bible really teach?
" uses the text of the 2013 nwt.
i therefore assume this is the reason for the grey colour of the "bible teach" book.. examples of the adjustments appear at pages 216 and 217 of the book:.
JF Rutherfraud would be very dissapointed at the use of only one drab color. In fact, he might have made it a df'ing offence. I'm sure he could have found some obscure scripture to twist, I mean base a df'ing on.

is it just me or is the focus on building projects.
i read through the study for this weekend and all of the focus was on new building construction.
i was waiting for them to talk about the ministry, and it was in there, but not as the main priority.. i am amazed after visiting an old congregation of mine back in new england just how few (none) of the publishers had helped out on the new headquarters.
OTWO,
Good observation about the franchising of Kingdom Halls. The "new arrangement" of paying forever on the kh, i.e. never really paying off the mortage on a kh and the outrageous 'rent' that is charged for the circuit assemblies at the Assembly Hall makes cents (dollars). The money does seem to be drying up though.

i don't understand the relevance of the first picture in this weeks study article?!?!.
wt week of december 15-21 "cherish your privilege of working with jehovah".
can someone post the pic?.
The state of New York is to JW's like the state of Utah is to Mormons. In fact, aren't JW's looking more and more like the Mormons each year? But then, most cults look the same.

One of the biggest priorities for the wtbts is covering their asses on past and present dumb ass teachings. Seems like every new regime of gb members needs to do damage control for the previous regime's failed teachings/predictions. Now that the internet has opened the 'flood gates of heaven' with ttatt, they cannot stop the avalanche of information available in the convience to one's own home at the click of one's mouse.
Another big priority is making money now that the publishing empire is winding down. Yes, real estate will generate income. But how many kh's and assembly halls can they build with slave labor and sell?

"Marry only in the Lord" and "Do not become unevenly yoked with an unbeliever" are scriptural COMMANDS, not suggestions! Does anyone get df'ed for breaking these COMMANDS? Nope! Ever wonder why?
Me too!
