The FDS and NO governing body?!?
by cecil inin the early 1990's (if i remember correct either 1991 or 1992) there were talks at the district conventions entitled "the faithful and discreet slave" and "the faithful and discreet slave (fds) and its governing body (gb)".
it was a series of talks that covered the issue fds through nearly 2000 years of history.
as usual, these talks became articles (study-articles) in the wt 6-8 months after they were held at the conventions.. the talk i remember best was "the fds and its gb".

Define the term "apostate"
by Leander inapparently there are several different definitions for apostate especially from the society's point of view.. .
personally i've always thought that an apostate was a person who used lies, slander and half-truths to cause others to stop serving god.
but according to the wts an apostate could be a person who causes someone to have doubts about the society regardless if the information they are presenting is the truth.. .

letter to British Bethal
by sleepy ini hope to send this letter today although i must seriously consider the consequences if i do.. please let me know if i got the ngo info right.. dear brothers,.
i am writing on two matters of major concern to me.. firstly recently i have become aware of the fact that the watchtower society of jehovahs witnesses in new york is associated as an ngo (non governmental organisation) with the department of public information of the united nations organisation.. at first i was very skeptical of the idea , but when i checked it out on the uns web site i found that jehovahs witnesses were indeed listed in partnership with the un.. this is puzzling to me as by belief has been that the un was taught by the faithful and discreet slave to be part of satans political system of things.. here are some quotes from watchtower literature.. *** re 248 34 an awesome mystery solved ***.
the un is actually a blasphemous counterfeit of gods messianic kingdom by his prince of peace, jesus christto whose princely rule there will be no end.. .

I need your advice
by cecil ini need your advice: i have written a letter to my branch office regarding my problems with the 607-chronology 60+ pages with short references about the issue, that i have collected through the past 9-10 years.
at the end of my letter i asked 14 questions 7 questions regarding the biblical evidence against the 607 bce-chronology and 7 questions regarding the historical and astronomical evidence against it.. the letter i received as an answer did not contain anything that could qualify as an answer or even an attempt to answer my questions.
i called the branch office by phone and talked to the brother who had written the answer.

WT View on Unity of Belief (1 Corinthians 1:10)
by stevieb1 inyou may have read from my other posts that i'm going to be a victim of the wt inquisition as i've told an elder that i disagree with the view that god is using an organization and that organization is the wts.
i know the elders will argue the point that we cannot have disunity in the congregation with one member believing one thing and another something else.
they will use 1 corinthians 1:10 as proof that we must be united in belief.

Validity of 607 BCE date
by stevieb1 inhas anyone on here ever come across the tiniest shred of evidence supporting this date for the fall of jerusalem.
i understand rolf furuli is about to but something out on this subject (see elihubooks.com), however even a table of contents has been a long time in coming from this site.
if no evidence exists what can he possibly be writing about?

Jehovah is not the only god #73
by OlderTom inthink about it, i think it's jahveh's first commandment.. thou shalt have no other gods besides me.... or words to that effect.
look it up if you like.. so god is admitting that there are other gods besides him.. how then can he claim that he is the almighty alpha and omega?
the one and only, el suprimo?.
