This thread has it all = and now humour as well. What would influence someone, whether bethel mole or simply watchtower apologist to come on this board and make claims and statements that are simply silly. For example "since these Bible translations and publications were produced by Jehovah's Witnesses primarily for use by Jehovah's Witnesses anyway in connection with their beliefs and their evangelization work, although they are currently still being made available to the public by Jehovah's Witnesses (but probably not for too many more years)." The sole purpose of these publications is to promote their "truth". If not produced for direct dissemination to the public they are then for the further edification of members for the purpose of helping to either strengthen their belief they have the truth and must therefore continue preaching it or to teach them to be more effective in preaching it. And to say that these publications that are at least partly for evangelization work will probably not be available to the public soon raises interesting questions. Is the writer suggesting the evangelizing work is turning inward towards children of those in already. Is the writer suggesting a Jones Town type of religion soon.

217DMCA Complaint from The WatchTower for links to KS-10 'Shepherding' book
by Simon inyes, that's right, they really do not like people being able to read that book so they wanted links to it removed (it appears they have also been going after the hosts of the content itself as well).. unfortunately, i had to removed the links (which were dead anyway when i checked) and i'd ask that people don't re-post them (sorry).
i'm sure there are lots of alternative ways for those with the information to get it to those who need it.. here are the discussions on the book:.

johnnyblazedog = copyright infringement by posting on the net, still would require lots a proving and suing. Reproducing in the manner of which you speak - they could and I am sure would burn your ass. If you are referring to reproduction on any xerox type copier be aware that an invisible code is included in all copies made. This code can identify the machine that was used.

I still don't get how they can include this "This publication is not for sale. It is provided as part of a worldwide
Bible educational work supported by voluntary donations." in the book and still self righteously claim copyright infringement. Just my simple ignorance I suppose. I am also quite convinced that they could not have prevailed in court against "Quotes site" but rather it was there clout with donated funds. -

this from elder book is just plain wrong
by booby inwillingly and unrepentantiy taking blood.if someone willingly takes blood, perhaps because of being under extreme pressure, the committee should obtain the facts and determine the individual's attitude.
if he is repentant, the committee would provide spiritual assistance in the spirit of galatians 6:1 and jude 22,23. since he is spiritually weak, he would not qualify for special privileges for a period of time, and it may be necessary to remove certain basic privileges.
depending on the circumstances.

And how magnanimous of them to add this "The elders have handled a matter having to do with [name of person]. You will be glad to know that spiritual shepherds are endeavoring to render assistance." Aren't they just wonderful.

Since he is spiritually weak, he would not qualify for special privileges for a period of time, and it may be necessary to remove certain basic privileges. Depending on the circumstances. the committeemay also need to arrange for an announcement to the congregation: "The elders have handled a matter having to do with [name of person]. You will be glad to know that spiritual shepherds are endeavoring to render assistance." On the other hand, if the elders on the committee determine that he is unrepentant, they should announce his disassociation.
Since they have a dozen sub-rules on the issue why is it simply "If someone willingly takes blood" with no apparent consideration for details. And how cowardly in this instance to not disfellowship but rather call it disassociation because of the legal implications.

*** w02 11/1 p. 31 Questions From Readers ***
Some might reason that betting small amounts of money while playing a friendly card or board game with relatives or close friends is no more than innocent entertainment. True, someone who bets a small amount of money may not view himself as greedy, egotistical, competitive, or superstitious. Still, what effect could his gambling have on the ones he is gambling with? Many compulsive gamblers began by making petty bets ‘just for fun.' (Luke 16:10) A seemingly innocent diversion turned out to be something far more sinister in their case.This is the problem when writing up a new Talmud. You make a rule that some have a problem with exact interpretation or who try to circumvent and the only solution is to define in greater detail. And even then it remains open to some extent because it is impossible to cover every situation. I don't get the tone that some on this thread are getting and this is my point. How big does the Talmud become before no questions remain. when I read "If a business gives out prizes or prize money to winners of a contest or to potential customers for advertising, accepting the gift is an individual's decision to make" I don't get the notion that you can do anything that is "real gambling" and not get in trouble if it becomes known. Look at the references like the one above and I think it becomes clear. At the end of the day it is clear that the best thing to do before taking a chance is run to an elder and get his clarification.

Out Sourcing
by snowbird ina poster mentioned that wt may be using an outside source to join discussion boards such as this one in order to track down copyright infringements.. it that is true - it is certainly plausible and feasible - wouldn't that be something?.
the great and lofty watch tower, having to rely on elements of satan's sytemtm to protect its interests!.
imagine!.

not that "I" am an authority on the matter or consider myself at all important in all this but I just started a thread on this copyright issue. the thread is headed "do you think" and states the notion or asks the question, should they even come under the copyright law when this statement is included in their books.
This publication is not for sale. It is provided as part of a worldwide
