why not use a biblical example, like jacob when deceiving his father isaac?
jehovah himself seems to have no problem with deceiving.
or 1 kings 22:19-22 "who will deceive ahab?
So is it OK to lie to your employer about going to visit your sick mother when you are actually going to the RC knowing that your sick mother will be there also? After all there is a grain of "truth" in your statement. lol
Yes it has been done by some I know!

i am approaching 76 years old.
i can clearly recall that awake!
statement and similar during the pre-1975 hype -- "staying alive in '75", et al.
I wonder what was going through the minds of the all former GB members and their wives as they laid there dying on their death beds?
What do you think?

As is the case with sooooo many Watchtower proclamations--It depends on what the word "never" means!
And it also depends on what the word "old" means!

probably a stupid question and you'll all point a bunch of scripture but i thought i would ask anyway?.
Nice research Blondie.
I especially love the WT quote from the 12/15/98 WT because if something 'miraculous' happens and a jw escapes harm---praise jah. But if a jw or a bunch of jw's perish--well
*** w98 12/15 p. 22 When Armed Robbers Strike ***
While Jehovah protects his people as a whole, he does not intervene in every case
Tough sh*t for those jehober 'chooses' not to protect!

aaaaaand .
.. it offers absolutely nothing new.. from questions from readers in the december 2016 study edition watchtower:.
"is it proper for a brother todayto have a beard?in some cultures, a neat beardmay be acceptable and may notdetract from the kingdom mes-sage.
In some cultures it is considered wrong for women to shave their pubic hair because it is a practice of prostitutes. Now that would make a very interesting WT article or "question from readers".

so we were talking about noah for our family worship tonight and it ended with a little debate between me and my parents about how the flood was possible.
you know, where did the water come from, how did all the animals fit, etc.
of course it led nowhere and my parents came up with some strange theories like that there was "an expanse of water in the sky" and that's where all the water came from.
Didn't the flood take place at the same time that the moon became swiss cheese? That's what I heard!

news says it will open in october.
makes me wonder if they will include his life as a jw as part of the exhibit .
Hope there will be a 'cart witnessing' area as you enter so brother Prince can count his time from the grave.

watchtower literature, according to watchtower dogma, is not mere 'literature'... like any other literature from some "worldly" source, ...but rather it is "spiritual food" given by christ's appointed "slave" at "the proper time" and in fulfillment of bible prophecy.
(matthew 24:45-47).
this is the claim.
More like we had been "fooled at the proper time"!

Every thing is pagan to jw's--except Disneyland and all the magic of all the different characters and Princesses?
Sparlock--NO
Peter Pan ---Hell yea
just sayhing!
when the co is visiting, i think i hear "thank you , jehovah, for this special week of activity" until i want to vomit.. also "jehovah, please remember those sick and afflicted.
we pray that they can make a recovery and be back with us.".
stale, canned, institutionalized garble.
Formula prayers. Do they work any better than the unformulated ones? I haven't one answered in the past 67 years that I know of.
just saying!
