When I was at the MTS class, they gave us updates on the revelation book, when some of us gave them out to other JW friends we were told not to do that and to bring them back, what a joke! I think the WT don't really care what the 'Rank & File' are being told, as long as they stay there.

It really shows the roots of the Watchtower and Charles russel. On the home page there is a special issue regarding their History with a photo of charles russell in the group of men. They still beleive in the Great Pyramid too. The Watchtower Society is nothing but a break-away from them.

Kingdom Ministry issues
by kristyann inokay, i am not sure about this, even though it's probably pretty obvious to everyone, but what exactly is the kingdom ministry magazine?
it's something that is available only to active jws, right?
i know that they don't go around handing it out like they do with the watchtower and awake!

I am still an 'active' JW, to get the KM you need to be regular in the field or at least like me you need to give in a report monthly of your field work. It is not available to the public and never for sale. To get some info from it its easier to get it from the Watchtower CD, I beleive this is available to the public from the Watchtower Socity. But if you write to them they will send you a copy but someone will call on you hoping to convert you.

Bizarre JW stories of enduring hardship
by Vormek2.8 ini remember hearing of a faithful older brother who was attacked by vicious dogs while in service.
even though his clothes were shredded and he was bleeding he continued walking door to door to finish his assigned territory for that day.

Well, if its true then he was an idiot, he should've gone to the doctor, and I'm sure that any householder would've thought the same.

Seriously though, how CAN the WTBTS Book Publishing Corp...
by sf in...stop the information that the marvelous tool the internet provides all who seek its inner workings?.
what will they actually be able to do about the momentum of facts, backed by documents and other evidence, that seem to be gaining at a faster pace these days?.
would they, could they actually hear a miraculous voice that of jehovah telling them that the internet is a tool of satan and then produce a scripture the flock would see as divine guidance through the gb, thus through a new article {new light} that they must give it up completely?.

Thanks Brooke. Alot of the men, husbands and fathers, in the WT don't really have a 'say' in the upbringing of the children, they seem to be too busy climbing up the 'spiritual' ladder. Most of them seem to be too lazy or too weak to take control as a Man should.

Brooke..If I may ask, Where was your dad during all of this? During my time in the WT, I've noticed how many really do have low self esteem. I have noticed that many who brag and big-note themselves actually have very low esteem.
It's no wonder, they are all driven by Guilt not Love.

Is Jehovah Mentally Unstable?
by THE SHOOTIST ina friend of mine showed me as interesting scripture, ex.
4:24 that talks about jehovah showing up in person to kill moses, but was talked out of it by moses' wife because from what the bible says she circumcised her son and threw the foreskin at his feet.
she then called him a blood-smeared bridegroom, referring to the circumcision and the lord left him alone.

Some of you guys are too negative and you shouldn't lean on your own understanding, or lack of understanding.

What the WT spends on missionaries, does it include ALL Bethel ops?
by truthseeker in.
this year, the number of $'s spent on missionaries went up to about $110 million.. now, i know they get about $110 a month, but does it really cost $110 million to look after a few thousand missionaries?.
does the figure include the costs of running bethel or missionary homes?.

When I was at the MTS School, the D.O. told us that the food costs $3500, yet it was all donated by the local congo's !!! i think they just make up these figures to sound impressive. I've known some Special pioneers and all they got was a small amount from the WT. I think it was only about $60 a month then. and they had to find the rest of there means of living themselves. So the $110 million is B.S.

I looked it up on www.bible.com and check out the amplified version, its much better then the KJV. but its still a little confusing, if I had the WT CD I'll check out what the WT thought about that passage, but to say that God is mentally Unstable is foolish. I think that we must understand that there are things that we don't understand. Also, our angry with the Watchtower mustn't wash over to Jehovah himself.
