even though wikipedia isn't perfect, and you still have to vet and research anything you read online, it has proved invaluable to me and many others out there over the last few years since we learned ttatt.
articles on jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower corporations, as well as cognitive dissonance, et al.
have made it a great place to help those that want to free their minds, which includes me lol!.
I don't believe anyone has ever received a thank you like that from the WTS.
I also believe that everyone of us has also been on the receiving end of valuable information from Wikipedia at some point in our lives.
Thank you for helping to keep the site going and thank you for sharing.

I'm not sure that is actually new. I think it is something that comes into rotation and is likely 'need-driven', but not a new tactic for them.

Hello, Apostate-from-Birth! (LOL)

just a few wts that put to the effect anything from them should be taken as from jehovah himself and also with elders or being disfellowshipped, that it means jehovah himself is angry with them, that's it's punishment from him.

very sad as was said by a poster earlier our shared one time faith makes it seem as if you knew her.
rip.

there was a recent thread here which covered the subject of the gb claiming to be spirit directed (and not actually inspired by the holy spirit).
by now, most of us are quite aware that this is just a play with words to excuse themselves whenever one of their false doctrines is debunked (by someone using the bible or their own publications).
but when you think of it, spirit-directed is actually more presumptuous than spirit-inspired.. that being said, id really like to draw attention to the fact that the wt continuously claims that the governing body of jehovahs witnesses has never claimed to be inspired by god (through his holy spirit).

agh, i can't find a post... somebody asked a question looking for various quotes where the wts equated following their words to following god's words.. there was an excellent discussion with lots of wt articles quoted... including a scan of a 1942 or 1943 wt article.

would appreciate the link, would like to bookmark.. thank you so much.
Last one for tonight - It's got a few quotes going back to 1955:
Not sure if any are the one you were looking for, though...?

A tip for the future... Make some sort of comment on threads that you find informative. Many of us just type the word 'Marking' - so we can find it easier at a later date.
Are any of the links I've posted beneficial?
