so, the long awaited trip began for my son and i to return to the same place he heard a bigfoot a year ago in the forests of northern california.
the trip started out unfortunately for us to be a 7 mile hike instead of a 2 to 3 mile hike in to our base camp , as huge snow drifts covered the road , making it even inaccessible for 4 wheel drive, so , with packs on backs we hiked over 50 ft long snow drifts on places on the trail.
even snow was covering one creek near the lake we were destined for .

found this online, for those of you who don't know, during the 1960s and 1970s, the watchtower society occasionally used the translation of the new testament by johannes greber to support their similar renderings of john 1:1 and matthew 27:52,53. in 1983 they officially stopped using his translation because of its "close rapport with spiritism.
" the information that geber was a spiritist was readily available to the society's writers.
in 1955 and 1956 the society's writers themselves wrote of greber's spiritism.
RR...Thanks for the download. Fascinating stuff.
I have to agree with the Dawg with the badge. They are ultimate liars, and hypocrites beyond belief. In 1955 in their booklet entitled, "What do the scriptures say about SURVIVAL AFTER DEATH"?" they take Johannes Greber to task for his communication with the spirit world and the fact that as a former Catholic priest he became a spiritualist.
Then in 1962 in their booklet, ""The Word", Who Is He? According to John", they attack the Trinity using the Johannes Greber Translation of the New Testament...the very same translation Johannes "received" from the spirit world.
I am sure there's a JDub sympathizer somewhere out there who has a good explanation for this.

PS. Can't wait to read it RR. Maybe I can finally get the real story about those demonic smurfs the WTBS hates so much.
it is not infrequently that jehovah's witnesses make the statement that the name of their organization is "scriptural.
tony wills, in his book "a people for his name" makes an interesting point about the misrepresentation of that name as "scriptural" and the appropriateness of this name-change by the impostor "bible scholar" rutherford -.
[rutherford] showed the need of a new name by such texts as the following:.

What's that sound I hear? Why it's the sound of reniaa rustling thru the pages of her Proclaimers & Aid books...stand by...any moment now...

let's start a list of reasons why you were told, or overheard people telling, won't make it through the big a day.
i'll start.. 1. they don't take showing up for cleaning the kingdom hall seriously and never show up.
i overheard a sour puss old elder say this to his wife after he just gave a scolding talk on it.
It's gotta be a toss-up between....
Owning a 2-door car or....
saying "Bless You" after a sneeze.

the "ever-changing doctrine" of the watchtower org.
is now creating an "incubator of doubts" that seems to be "hatching" this so-called "new breed" of witnesses.
watchtower publications written with purposeful ambiguous articles seems to be allowing many witnesses to become extremely liberal in their way of thinking.the watchtower org's view, as of late, in making more things a conscience matter, blood issues, voting, alternative service, organ transplants, attending weddings and funerals in churches, celebrating holidays, etc.
I think there is some validity to your statement. For example, my EX who used to be hardcore is now in real estate and misses lots of meetings and field service and I even know she goes out of town to fornicate, looking for rich guys and the elders look the other way. So I don't really know what's going on. They talk down about higher education but they don't seem to have any bite to their bark because I know quite a few young people going to college.
I think they're still trying to control thru fear but without a big A date I think the sheep are wandering.

this is prompted by reniaa who claims that one of the things that jws have right is the name jehovah.. you know how if you're trying to convert someone to be a jw, you put your best foot forward and try to keep the controversial stuff that might "stumble" them on the back burner?
(like say, mother's day or when i was a kid, pinatas?
) well, that's how i categorize the whole topic of the divine name.
Openmind...
she'll be back as soon as she can find more Slobbering Body stuff she can cut and paste. The fact of the matter is, if I were a Dubbie I'd be damn sure that the pronounciation was correct before i used it...afterall the Guy is known for whacking kids who poke fun of the hair-challenged.
Now for my Andy Rooney impression...Have you ever noticed that Dubs really can't think logically on their own...they have to parrot something from Mother. Didja ever wonder why...maybe it's because they're in a cult...shhh don't tell 'em.

when did the wts stop the sale of publications and start "givng them away" ?
also does anyone know what it costs publishers/pioneers for the wt & asleep rags now?
Yeah, them and Jimmy Swaggart. Sorry don't have time to fill you in but I'm sure someone else will give you all the true facts as to why they lovingly started the donation arrangement.

have you heard anything those of you with ears to the borg still?
about the cyclone?
the death tolls?
Can't you just picture the joy the Dubbies experienced back in the 1300's when the Black Plague killed almost 100 million people?! "Woo Hoo, if this isn't the Great Tibulation I don't what is."
Or maybe a good little Dubbie in the late 1800's picks up the London newspaper and reads about Jack the Ripper...surely a sign of the End.
Or HOLY CRAP...word gets back to that nice little congregation in Spain in 1492 that some guy has discovered The New World!....so lemme see...The Great Tribulation happens in the 1300's and then in 1492 the New World is discovered. It's gotta be New Light. We is in the New World already. Think I'll start a religion. Sorry, just rambling. None of it makes sense.

awake 73 3/22 p.12 "....the spirit of competition between players can lead to unpleasant circumstances, as the new york times reported: most families manage to keep the conflicts that arise in games to the chess board.
but in some homes tensions linger long past checkmate.
chess has been a game of war since it was originated 1,400 years ago....the games connections with war are obvious...a play-substitute for the art of war.
witness 007...FYI: It's called Asian Checkers now.
and by the way, the Ouija Board is banned because it gives the player a direct line of communication to Johanes Greber, Chuck Russell and other visionaries. Using it would be "running ahead" of the organization. Only the Slobbering Body are allowed to communicate with the great Spirits.
