Demons and Inanimate Objects
by VM44 inthe watchtower has published articles telling people not to shop at thrift stores, salvation army stores, etc, because the items purchased might have demons attached!.
experiences have been published by the wt, and particularly the awake!,where people are reported to have been bothered after bringing the used items home.
to only relief was after the objects were taken out and burned, usually after several attempts when the object would not catch fire!.

Was there really a global flood? (new publication reasoning)
by Simon inthe latest "keep on the watch" publication released at the district assembly really looks like a rehash of old material (and even old pictures ... they must be running out of paint or something!)..
one 'gem' caught my eye flicking through it.
how do you reason with people to convince them that the bible account of a global flood is real?.

Don't Know The Day....Don't Know The Hour.......BUT.......
by GodsMouthpiece inamos 3:7 does say that the living god will make his impending judgement known to a select few so that they can in turn make a last appeal to those who are reasonable at heart.
daniel chapter 12.....1260+1290+1335= 3885 days/years.
you gotta know which it is, days/years in order to even begin making sense of it.

How to account for the disappearing of the faithful slave class?
by Pole inthe wts managed to smoothly get out of the expectations they raised in connection with the generation 1914 'prophecy'.
i can't remember any jehovah's witnesses complaining about it - not here in poland at least.
they definitely scored a point here in their game of indoctrination.. however they still have a pretty obvious doctrinal problem.

WoMD ... so where are they?
by Simon innow, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!
perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.
now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.
