Lots of interesting numbers that the wtbts has released for our "encouragement". Since the wtbts is a corporation, any numbers posted regarding the financial status of the wtbts?
oops sorry I asked!

"Freeness of speech"
by Wonderment inthis was posted on another thread (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6040010839031808/christmas-tree-word-appreciation), but wondered about how others here would see this with one experience i had as an elder now as ex-jws.. when we were jw's we had to be extremely careful with what we said around the brotherhood.
if someone said anything out of the ordinary, relationships among the involved were halted immediately, or were never the same afterwards.
in this place, one can say almost anything without the fear of having a truck run over us.

Absolutely hypocritically amazing how the wtbts brags about their 100's of court case victories regarding 'freedom of religion' and/or 'freedom of speech'. Have you ever tried exercising 'freedom of religion or speech' within the wtbts?
Didn't think so!

1914, leap years, and sticky math situation
by A.proclaimer in360 days x 2520 years = 907,200 days.
365.25 days x 2520 years = 920,430 days.
920,430 days - 907,200 days = 13,230 days in difference .

Heb. 11:1-Faith
by HowTheBibleWasCreated inwhen i sti'' believed this verse was alwas in my mind: faithis the assured ecpectation of things hoped for... the ebident demonstration of realities not be held.... .
yes it seemed to preach the scientic method..so ai thought.
the point is my faith was never based on 'i belive.....' i thought based on the bluecreation book we had the truth.. latley a witness sakid herewes 11:1 meant that faith is the evidence.... well f***his idea.. if jws start belebong ths nonesese they will never escape.

If a year is really 365 1/4 days why 360 days to calculate 1914
by blondie indoesn't that throw off the date?.
*** w51 6/15 p. 383 questions from readers ***.
in establishing the length of the seven times of the gentiles, a time or year of 360 days is used, to give 2,520 days, which become 2,520 years when ezekiel 4:6 is applied.

Another freakin example of the way the borg arbitrarily cherry picks the scriptures and misapplies them. The bible in both 1 and 2 Corinthians provides pretty specific instructions about “marry only in the lord” and “do not become unevenly yoked”. Yet one is seldom if ever df’ed for marrying an unbeliever. Smoke an occasional Cuban, (about which the bible says absolutely nothing) and you’ll be df’ed.

Neutral eh? When selling up in Brooklyn was anywhere else in the world considered for the new HQ other than America?
You're right! JW's is an American religion, born and raised. Recently, in order to be "politically" correct, the borg has brought in or 'promoted' some upper level personnel from other countries. But for the most part, the borg is historically white, american, balding old men.

Gotta love those long legs. Personally, I'm a big fan of the Williams sisters knowing where they came from and where they are today. Hooray for women.
