so i have been doing some reading lately.
i have yet to bump into the text that show that preaching is a requirement to qualify for baptism.
in fact, i have read more paragraphs that say otherwise.
Baptism as christian or a pledge of loyalty to wtbts and nothing more! lol. wtf
100 questions I really love god? lol. wtf
Preaching or tending a metal cart! lol. wtf
Hundreds of thousands of hours building a magnificent campus for the magnificent 7 or preaching to the 'broken hearted'? lol . wtf
Cartoon characters for the kiddies or real deep meaningful bible prophecy (aka bs) via Freddy Franz? lol. wtf

a child in my daughter's class lost his mother very recently.
we went to the viewing last night at the local catholic church.
in the foyer area there was a bulletin board with pamphlets regarding child sex abuse, including by the church, in both english and spanish.
Was a dub for 55 years and never saw any real charity from the borg. Yea they help their own in a disaster but beyond that they keep a tight reign on their money. If the wtbts was god's org. they would give generously and jehober would replenish the coffers, right? But if you are a selfish, man made, narcissistic, greedy, for power organization, you hold your money and beg for more contributions.
Good example, wife went to last Sunday's wt study and i looked at her wt they studied(lol studied). Page 5 they are making sure that dubs know how to fill the coffers of the wtbts even after death. What a crock of crap!
Every religion has it's own weirdness, but most at least are generous to the poor. Not the wtbts!

steve2 initiated a discussion on how our former loving brothers and sisters are behaving, while engaging in the 'trolley work.
' (link: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/93590001/within-one-minute-jw-trolley-directs-me-jw-org ).
my own observations are the same as the posters report on steve2's thread.
my only question is "if the trolley work is so friggin' effective, why did jehober take so long to get it going?"
It makes witnessing 'easier'? It's always easy to do nothing except to sit on your butt and chat with your friend.

let me see if i have this straight.
we are to believe noah preached over a 100 years with 0 effect.. the bible records that lamech, noah's father had sons and daughter's but the number is not included.
to have a plural number of brothers and sisters, there would be at least four siblings, two brothers and two sisters.. my folks had 6 kids and 90 years later there are over 100 family members.. some say based on what's written in gen.6:3, noah preached anywhere between 100-120 years.
I wonder if jehober had Noah so busy building physical material buildings that he just didn't have tome to save people from drowning?
EVIDENTLY (I love that word) jehober has thousands of dubs doing the same thing today up in Warwick, NY. No time to advertise, advertise, advertise that king and his kingdom, we gotta build, build, build a king-dumb. I guess the end ain't really that close, EVIDENTLY!

today's wt study, from the december 15, 2014, is based on mark 7:14, which says:.
so calling the crowd to him again, he said to them: listen to me, all of you, and understand the meaning.
the two words at the end, "the meaning", are not found in the greek.

As always the wtbts wants us to ask questions that can only be answered in wt literature. So ask any question you like but only get your answer from us. "We are the only reliable source of troof" don't you know!
Better to have questions that can't be answered; that answers that can't be questioned----right?

haven't got an electronic copy, or scans.
just a heads up..
Maybe it will include some neat war stories from his days in the military. Wonder how many he killed or saved? whatever it will be extremely embellished as are all jw life stories in the wt.
He will probably be compare to the apostle Paul--from opposer to brother of jc by a miraculous conversion. lol
Can't stand to hear his nasally voice. Puke

could someone post a picture of it, and year it came out.
thank you .
Even if , "Deliverance isn't at hand", the wtbts now has those hands building new multi million dollar buildings all over the world. So "busy hands are happy hands" seems to be the new, unspoken, motto of the wtbts. Tens of thousands of hours building buildings that will not be needed in the new fantasy world? the emphasis now is definitely on building not preaching. Big 'elders only' meeting last week was all about building and expanding jehobers earthly holdings!

The saying that really struck me was: "I'd rather have questions that can't be answered, than answers that can't be questioned!"
Kinda sums up my wt history and fade!

these are my coments on some answers in the interview:.
why did you start doubting the church?three things troubled me.
the church was involved in politics.
Every time my still-in wife relates these stories to me, I counter with, "Honey, every religion has their own version of this very same story. JW's are not unique with these type of experiences."
She quickly changes the subject but I know that she knows that it's true.

i can't think of any chronology that has not been changed.
even their "absolute" dates are suspect.
They always get the memorial date and the first new moon correct! so do millions of jews! lol
