Intelligence and knowlege aren't the same
Go to any Mensa meeting and you will prove this point. :-)
There are lots of dumb smart people and smart dumb people (as in "dumb is as dumb does").

Turns out... I'm not so smart! Why the difference?
by misspeaches inafter exactly 1 year on discovering jwd and working through emotions, feelings etc, i feel the need to relate this.. as a witness i really believed i was smart.
i believe i must have had a high iq.
that i knew so many more things then others.

What constitutes proper use? Watchtower Library has been designed for your personal use. Hence, you may copy, print, or excerpt from the data for your personal use. But you may not distribute the program or large sections of the data to others who do not own Watchtower Library on CD-ROM. Nor may you copy, print, or excerpt from the copyrighted data to prepare and distribute books. Please do not put the program or data on the Internet or any public network.
I'm not an expert but what has been done does not seem to violate the "proper use" clause. I guess you could say the "program" is being distributed to some who do not "own Watchtower Library on CD-ROM" but ... I own it.
Notice they say "Please do not put the program or data on the Internet or any public network" as opposed to "You may not" ....I dunno' it seems very grey if they do not sell the material in its original form and they do not sell the material in the CD form ....I'm not concerned....I don't see the tort.
But, again, I'm no expert. (I'm starting to sound like Harold Dies (sp?) who would qualify everything ("sometimes, not always, but often....")

Maybe we can expect the WT to come after all of us downloaders, ala Napster.
What would be the tort? They are not for sale...are they? They are for Jehovah's Witnesses.... as was astutely observed....many are JWs without being followers of the WTBTS. I believe they are distributed to JWs for free...although a donation might be accepted. I could be wrong.

What do the older WT CD's have that the newer ones don't?
by cabasilas ini have both the 2004 and 2005 wt cd-rom.
just downloaded the "babylon" file that was put up here on jwd from an older cd-rom.
what do the older cd-roms put out by the watchtower society have that the newer ones don't?.

Been thinking
by KW13 in.
been thinking about this.. i am considering making the 2005 watchtower cd available as a download for a period of time from my server.
i'd compress it and make it small as i could, it would be in iso format so you then burn it using nero to cd.. i will look at how practical that would be sometime this week.. who would find this helpful?

JWs are also in the dark regarding the true meaning of Sheol/Hades.
by Schizm inthe watchtower society explains "hades" as being "the common grave of mankind".
christendom's understanding of "hades" is, for the most part, quite different than that of the watchtower society.
the one similarity between the two beliefs is that in both cases "hades" is considered to be a literal place.. the truth of the matter is that neither the watchtower society or christendom has a correct understanding of the terms "hades".

I am faced with serious decisions here - Can you help me find the answer?..
by AK - Jeff ini am going to reveal details of a personal nature here.
these details may reveal who i am to anyone looking to finally expel me from the organization - but frankly that it of little importance compared to what i am now having to decide.
i ask those who here - with either the qualifications, or who can direct me to those with such, to respond.

M y condolences to you and yours in this troublesome time.
I have no certain information but I firmly believe you should contact an attorney who specializes in these matters.
Perhaps you should either adopt or be granted legal custody of the children?
The past and potentially future instability of the father(s) does not bode well for counting on them to be "reasonable."
Protect the children and yourselves.
Best wishes.

And Rutherford made one of the brothers shave his beard.
Do you have a reference for that, please? I'd like to read about it. Thank you.

Without getting into the denotative , co nnotative , and nuance d dance around the word "cult" it seems like most agree Rutherford made a huge change. The Pre-Rutherford democracy (elected elders, etc.) and "interdenominational flavor" of Russell's message were completely extinguished by Rutherford say ...from 1919 (The Golden Age) on. Many criticisms of Russell are valid but ....there is no way he was as destructive as those after him. I have interacted with some current Bible Students (some are here) and it seems to me that when the emphasis was shifted from "building the Christian personality" to preaching .... folks lost the love. It is a grievous thing, this organization.
