WT 2003 CDROM - User agreement!
by qwerty injust borrowed a wtcd from a friend................ i carn't believe a "non" profit organisation can do this or rather put restrictions on the the coping of the wt cdrom.

then why is make the copying of the wt library for the benefit of declaring the "truth" wrong!

Undaunted Danny's final clicher of WT's best blaspheme
by Undaunted Danny injust my 2 cents but if i was to post what i would consider to be the single most convincing arrogant blunder of the wt(for me in my time) it would have to be below.
: when i heard this 'proclamation' i, (and many others at my cong) were convinced that this had to finally be it.
because there just was no way the wt could possibly say no babies again and not have it be the final,real ready rapture.

BAPTIZED WITTNESS W/QUESTIONS
by tresbella ini am a 20 year old baptized wittness who for the past year has been trying to do some serious reserach on all the things i have been made to believe in the wt society.it only makes sense that my research should not only include those in the wt publications and so therefore i need some help:
1. what is everyone's thoughts on society not allowing brothers to wear beards?
i read somewhere that russel(society's first prez) had a beard and the second pres( russel) wanted to completely dissassosiate anything having to do with russel and so therefore outlawed against them.

Resurrection of husbands, wives.
by dothemath inat the district convention.......we had a very touching experience of an elder who lost his wife fairly recently.
his comments gave the distinct impression he was going to be reunited with her in the new system............"jehovah is opening his hand and satisfying the desires of every living soul".......is the scripture he focused on.. that's certainly understandable.......i'm sure any of us in the same situation would feel similiarly.......but.......there was certainly no mention of the fact that those resurrected would be "as angels in heaven"(matt.
22: 30), and would no longer be given in marriage.. this is a topic i think the society is steering clear of........you have to go back quite a few years to see it commented on in detail.
