If the organization is a diamond, what are we???
by spiritwalker inas a witness, i remember the illustration of the diamond, in regards to the organization.
it referenced the fact that a diamond, when examined from afar, looks perfect and like something of high value.
yet when you looked closer, it has minor scratches and flaws that make up the large more perfect picture.

Reading Older Society Publications
by Blueblades in.
i was once told by a sister who is a proof - reader at the world headquarters,that if you have the last ten years of watchtowers that is all you need to be up to date on current society teachings.i mention this because many jw's frown on the practice of reading older publications and are quick to point out this fact to anyone who attemts to confront them with a statement that the organization has made in the past.. if this should happen to you,as it did to me when i have mentioned what the society has said in print in the past,direct them to the watchtower 6-15-85 p.12 ..."it means reading the footnotes in the wt.articles,some of which refer the reader to an older publication ( it does not qualify within 10 years )...it requires digging deeper,putting forth effort to locate that older publication and studying the pages to.".
so,this proof-reader needs to pay more attention to what she herself is reading when giving advice to others as to how far back we can go to examine what the society has said in the past.. blondie's post is an excellant example of how she herself supports everything she writes in her "comments you will not hear"on current wt.study articles,digging deeper and putting forth much effort to locate that older publication where-in out of the society's own mouth they are caught lying and being hypocritical in what they tell the rank and file.. blueblades

Resurrection
by barbar inif a person is resurrected, are they really the same person?.
it is a bit difficult to explain this, but are they not a copy of the original person (all of the cells are new) with just the memory etc reinstalled?.
it seems to me that even if resurrection were real then it would not be the actual person who was resurrected but an image of them who thought, acted and remembered the same as the original.
