Maybe not relevant today, just sharing one of my archive storage, this picture of jw.org Lawyer Philip Brumley, in a joint project with scientology and other religions in 2006.
The picture was published on a scientology website, mentioning the joint project with jw.org

I am so very disgusted that JW.0rg would be in cahoots with the Scientologists. Whatever happened to bad associations?
These religions are ruled by a bunch of hypocrites to the umpteenth degree. I hope they both go down the drain soon. And that's a "soon" I can look forward to.

That's very interesting Gorbatchov, is there a link to it on the Scientology website? Working in partnership with another religion means they are fighting for some rights that will help to grow false religion.

I do wonder how much inter-cult networking these lawyers do.
I wish ex-JWs, ex-Scientologists, ect... could have a huge legal department to represent them before courts and congresses.
BTW...I suspect this is likely why Watchtower became a NGO on the UN and now of the OSCE.

Don't toss them, just give them away to someone who can use them.
PS: Don't bother with eBay, they're not really old books - late 1800s - that can fetch you a modest amount of money.

this is a notice from the shire in which i live .. "signs placed on naturestrips ,roadsides ,and other public land require a permit from the shire which has identified locations in each town where signs can be erected once a permit is granted .. their is a photo of heaps of signs that have been impounded that don`t have a permit.. and i would imagine their is a cost involved in this.. would that be a valid reason , the cost , that i don`t ever see a witnessing cart/trolley in my shire ?.

My son has a very significant interview today..
by Captain Schmideo2 in Jehovah's Witnesses
 » Friends
 21 hours ago
he is just days away from graduation with his bachelor's in english, and today, he has an interview with a recruiter for an agency that help with finding teaching positions in south korea.. i took it upon myself to research the company and his interviewer, and it's been high marks all around on both of them.

so that's a great ease on my mind.i just hope the interview (over the phone) goes well, and results in the next steps to getting a position.my son spent a month in seoul last summer, an loved the place.

he has friends out there as well, including a young man that he attended classes with here in the states, so i think that's a real plus in taking this very giant leap.when i was his age, i was slowly working my way through a two year degree, still living at home, and aspiring to nothing more than a job as a repairman.

Watchtower's upcoming teaching

newest watchtower revelations from heaven indicate the importance of color in teaching the truth about god.. the governing body has prayed fervently over this new teaching and jehovah's witnesses the world around receive it gratefully as "food at the proper time".. in view of the importance placed on color, as found in god's holy word the bible, the governing body has deemed it necessary for a new understanding on important spiritual matters.

(see link).... http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200001009?q=color&p=par.

we can see from the aforementioned information that color in the scriptures should not be neglected, as it plays a vital role in understanding god's plan for mankind.

every religious group know the story of adam & eve.

for me, i understood what they did was wrong but i never felt they were bad people and considering that they never murdered anyone and seemed to live normal lives after being kicked out, i found it hard to accept that they deserved to die forever and that we would be responsible for suffering for their mistakes.

i personally feel like i might have done the same thing adam did when eve offered him the fruit.

Russell's chronology was right after all!
by Vanderhoven7 in Watchtower Society / JW.org
 » Bible Research & Study Articles
 3 days ago
the kingdom of god is already begun, which is pointed out in prophecy as due to begin the exercise of power in a.d. 1878, and that the "battle of the great day of god almighty" which will end in 1914 with the complete overthrow of the earth's present rulership, is already commenced.. i just did the math....and russell was right.

christ returned invisibly in 1874 and took rulership (restored kingdom reign) in 1878.. 2520 years minus 607 when jerusalem was destroyed = 1913 (accounting for no year zero) = 1914. that`s 2520 - 607 = 2014. but wait, that`s 2520 prophetic years of 360 days, not solar days of 365.25 days.

to convert to solar days then one must multuiply 2520 x 365.25 which gives us 2,484 actual years.

now nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it.

4 jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “forty more days and nineveh will be overthrown.” 5 the ninevites believed god.

Matthew 24:14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

boon·dog·gle

ˈbo͞onˌdäɡəl,-ˌdôɡəl/

noun



1.1.

work or activity that is wasteful or pointless but gives the appearance of having value.
___________________________



In 1968, Jehovah’s Witnesses published a little blue book, The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life.


Inside the book, a controversial claim was made about the year 1975.
Specifically, it was stated 1975 would be “The end of 6,000 years of man’s existence on Earth.” _________
For the next 8 years, Jehovah’s Witnesses distributed 65 million of those books worldwide (for a contribution of .25 cents. (That’s about 16 million $$ dollars worth.) https://news.google.com/newspapersnid=1346&dat=19741218&id=caROAAAAIBAJ&sjid=0PoDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7210,5306041
_____________
 HOW MANY people were actually warned about this phony boondoggle event?
For those 8 years of “warning” about the impending doom involving worldwide famine and overpopulation, the best Jehovah's Witnesses could do was sell 65 million books, with millions of people yet to be born even while the parents of those babies still were reading them!
18,144,000 babies were born while Jehovah's Witnesses were "warning" about 1975.

WE NEED TO ASK a logical question at this point. Since the majority of Earth’s population weren’t reached:
HOW EFFECTIVE was this ‘warning’?
__________
Let’s create a “best case” scenario just for the sake of a thought experiment, shall we?
Currently, we’ll say there are 8 million JW’s worldwide, each spending 10 hours a month.
The current population of Earth is 7 BILLION!
How effective can Jehovah’s Witnesses be failing to reach the other 6 Billion each month?
But wait--there’s more!
Women are pregnant all over the world. Every day women are getting pregnant and giving birth.
There are 9 months worth of babies on the way at any moment in time, or (5,013,000 pending).
Each day = 216,000 babies born
Each month = 657,000 babies born
WHAT’s WRONG with this PICTURE?
_____________
The obvious conclusion is this: it is mathematically impossible to fulfill Matthew 24: 14 If God truly was using Jehovah’s Witnesses!
_______________________________________________________________
Note: The little blue book, when reprinted, no longer contained doomsday predictions! Why? Not only was 1975 not the year of worldwide famine and overpopulation, it wasn’t marked by the commencement of the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ! All those man hours were spent on FALSE PROPHECY!
The entire 8 years spent by every member of Jehovah’s Witnesses contacting as many people and baptizing them as quickly as possible was ALL FOR NOTHING unless you count the $16 million dollars made off the contributions for the books or the increase in membership under false pretenses. Honestly, this was all an enormous waste of everybody’s time, energy, and efforts.
_________
Who set this worthless activity into motion? Where else could such an embarrassing historical failure be rewarded like this? It was the leadership of Jehovah’s Witnesses under Nathan H. Knorr and Fred Franz. Subsequently, Knorr died and Franz was promoted to the Presidency of the Watchtower Organization.
If you ask any member of Jehovah’s Witnesses today about these events they’ll give you a blank stare and shrug it off as mere propaganda created by former members lying and exaggerating.
But, we know who the real liars are and how feckless their activities are, don’t we?

Nice post!😊
If God were truly blessing the dubs then we would see mass conversions similar to what was seen in the first century.

Not to mention having virtually no contact with about 1/2 of the world's population (China, India, Muslim nations).
One more opportunity to post my thought:
If there really were a "Jehovah" as the JWs paint him, and he really did commission them to perform a "worldwide preaching work", he'd execute the lot of them in a giant fiery hailstone for the piss-poor muck-up they've made of the assignment.

Considering how 'recent' this event was, we should be flabbergasted at how easily Jehovah's Witnesses have been able to escape unscathed from such publicity.
We can surely state this with confidence: if it had happened in the age of the Internet, it would have made the Organization a laughingstock on a scale 100 times greater.
As it is, this is the best possible true propaganda to use against them.
The claims made in the"Truth" book were outrageous exaggerations which didn't stand up to the falsification of a mere eight years!
Entire paragraphs were rewritten or replaced.
_____
"By 1975 civil disorder, anarchy, military dictatorships, runaway inflation, transportation breakdowns and chaotic unrest will be the order of the day in many of the hungry nations."
_________
Compare all of this nonsense with what was said in 1955:
"The very fact that, as part of Jehovah's secret, no one today is able to find out how much time Adam and later Eve lived during the closing days of the sixth creative period, so no one can now determine when six thousand years of Jehovah's present rest day come to an end."

matthew 6:15 are jesus' own words on how to deal with a sinner.

15 “if your brother or sister[b] sins,[c] go and point out their fault, just between the two of you.

if they listen to you, you have won them over.

jesus asked, "who really is the faithful and discreet slave.." maybe he didn't know??

evidently, "the faithful slave", isn't just the governing body of the wtbts, feeding the many with their pudgy hands.

the dts, dallas theological seminary, must also make up the composite/singular fds.

we are all familiar with the story of the god jehovah saving jerusalem from the assyrians by sending and angel that killed 185000 soldier's.

well heradodus a 5 century bce historian related a story he heard from egyptian priests.

they told him that the god ptah sent rats into the camp of the assyrians which ate the bow strings of the troops and they then left in dismay, saving egypt.

this is a notice from the shire in which i live .. "signs placed on naturestrips ,roadsides ,and other public land require a permit from the shire which has identified locations in each town where signs can be erected once a permit is granted .. their is a photo of heaps of signs that have been impounded that don`t have a permit.. and i would imagine their is a cost involved in this.. would that be a valid reason , the cost , that i don`t ever see a witnessing cart/trolley in my shire ?.

My son has a very significant interview today..
by Captain Schmideo2 in Jehovah's Witnesses
 » Friends
 a day ago
he is just days away from graduation with his bachelor's in english, and today, he has an interview with a recruiter for an agency that help with finding teaching positions in south korea.. i took it upon myself to research the company and his interviewer, and it's been high marks all around on both of them.

so that's a great ease on my mind.i just hope the interview (over the phone) goes well, and results in the next steps to getting a position.my son spent a month in seoul last summer, an loved the place.

he has friends out there as well, including a young man that he attended classes with here in the states, so i think that's a real plus in taking this very giant leap.when i was his age, i was slowly working my way through a two year degree, still living at home, and aspiring to nothing more than a job as a repairman.
