Another WT property for sale, from the Indianapolis Star
by insearchoftruth inthere's also the assembly of jehovah's witnesses, 1201 n. delaware st. it's a majestic, century-old house of god, fronted by enormous stone pillars that would give samson pause.. .
it was built in 1912 by christian scientists who, when they moved on, sold it to baptists.
the baptists moved on in the 1970s and sold it to jehovah's witnesses.

Reasoning from the scriptures, is there a plan to release a new version?
by insearchoftruth ini know that the section on last days is no where close to correct anymore with the 'overlapping generation' change, i am sure there are other discrepancies as well with the book.
shouldn't there be a new version of this coming out (or even better for those of us who are trying to find changes a 'change list' like what was done with the 'grand climax' book)?.

Wife wants me to read Secret of Family Happiness, any suggestions?
by insearchoftruth inhello, have been on this board for a few years, and now my wife is asking me to read the subject book with her.
.
it seems pretty 'vanilla' in my scan through it, seems to lift up the male headship issue a few times and of course the cure to all ill is to 'attend christian meetings'.. am still working to fully open her eyes, anything in here i can use that may help, any conflicts with current doctrine i could possibly point out??.

Former Jehovah's Witness Preacher Arrested for Playing Strip Poker With 14-Year-Old Boy
by insearchoftruth inhttp://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2010/11/former_jehovahs_witness_preach.php.
strip poker can be a fun party game when played by visually -- and age -- appropriate gamblers.
it's a problem, however, when one of those playing is a preacher -- it's an even bigger problem when the only other player is a 14-year-old boy.. .

Community Service - why looked down on when it was so encouraged by Jesus
by insearchoftruth inmy wife yesterday was talking about how useless it really is to feed the hungry and provide cold weather shelters since the problem will not go away until the 'new system of things'.. i know that at one time jesus does state that there will be poor always, but a key aspect of his ministry on earth was helping the less fortunate.
how does the wts justify the discouragement of its rank and file from performing acts of community service, when the 'greatest man who ever lived' was so active in it?.
