Last Days per WBTS
by bobld ini did not want to start a new topic but i didn't know where to put it.the wbts says we are living in the last days because god has allowed mankind enough time to prove he can't rule himself,jer.10:23.the wbts was changed their mind on blood by allowing the use of fractions due to advances in medical technology.well you say what has that got to do with the last days.what about the advances in the human genome.if man is given enough time maybe he can fine the defective gene that god put in the first humans.they can fine a cure and correct it.then man can live forever.if god ends this system now,he did not give science a chance.the wbts should not put the blame on faulty gov't, for all the bad things in the world.like i said science is in the first nonosecond of research in the human genome.god has to give them at least 1 billion years.after that he can do what he wants.. bob.

FDS/GB spokeperson for God
by bobld inthe fds/gb claim they speak and intepret the bible correctly.ex.jan01/07 wt,"john saw in vision the announing of the sealing of the 144k.than he saw "a great crowd".the identity of the great crowd is revealed to john by one of the 24 elders,and these elders represent the 144k joint heirs with christ in their heavenly glory.
"note:john was on earth in 98c.e.
when the elder spoke to him in vision per fds/gb.however, the fds/gb pinpoint the 1st resurrection of the 144k started in 1918 c.e.so how can someone(144k) gave a vision when he/she was not born?.

Sept KM
by bobld inthis km was discussed however,i wanted to make a comment.the wtbs does not want the r&f to question their reseach and accept want they(gb) say.let's look at one of their publication they mentioned in the sept07km.the revelation (1982) book.the nov06km had over 70 correction.than they printed a soft cover edition with a whole lot more corrections.so we have to accept their bs when a child knows a lot more about the bible than the gb/fds/wt.and they don't want us to question their publications when there are sooooooooooooooo many mistakes.look at other books,the wishy-washy king of the north etc etc .they must be really brain dead.my guess is most die heart jw who read one of the wtbs books and immediately forget what they read.. bob.

D.C. "Come Be My Follower" 2007
by bobld inthat was the new book released at the d.c. some observations:they made reference to john 3:16.i noticed they referred to it a number of times,but only mentioned the 1st part about the ransom and not the part"in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life".
in the book "come be my follower" they criticize christendom and what it believes.page 12 they state the purpose of the book"its aim is,not to give a complete summary of the life and ministry ofjesus,"than on page 22 they state "the study aid,will make a careful study of the life and ministry of jesus".
also on page 12 and page 28 they say see "the greatest man who ever lived" and" what does the bible really teach?

District Convention(DC) typical of Temple Money Changers(TMC)
by bobld inw/o going into all the history.dc/tmc are all about money.tmc(priests) didn't care how poor the people were or how far they had to travel.they knew the people had to offer sacrifices for the atonement of their sins.also they req'd to buy animals from the tmc.they (tmc) saw an oppportunity to make a ton of money.. wts(gb/faithful slave) select locations for their dc at the lowest price they can get.they don't care how far the r&f have to travel or the cost.req'd (sacrifice) to attend dc.also the r&f have to stay at selected wts hotels.they wts see an opportunity to make a ton of money.ex.a few years back instead of having 1dc in vcr,bc as usual(which would of cost the wts a few dollars more no deal that year) they had 5 dc in kamloops,bc over 200 hundred miles away.approx.
20k r&f had to make that sacrifical trip from vcr to kamloops.cost to r&f est.$2 million.profit est.
to wts $200k.. dc rules... stay at select wts hotels(money for wts),type of food containers, dress,badges.oh so many rules you better see km's for a ton of them.i guess that is to keep r&f on their toes or else it will weigh them down.. ps: stay tuned i have some interesting thoughts on this years dc.. bob.

Has the GB of the WTS lost it
by bobld inoct km 06 literature offer for january 2007,se,pe or any book published prior to 1991.this offer is repeated in nov.,dec km 06 and jan km 07.in my library i have a number of wts publications prior to 1991,included are re 1988 editions.how can i in good conscience place this book with the public.when the sept.km 06 has 70 corrections for this publication.since the km is for private use by j.w.
in good standing i cannot make any adjustment to my copy of the publication w/o breaking copyright laws and/or losing my privileges.are the gb of the wts asking me to lie or mislead the public with an outdated publication or am i to destroy my old publications..no that would be wasting wts literature.. beginning in january 2007 we will study re at the congregation book study.the bro/sis are using a soft cover edition of the re book.however,in the first 3 lessons there are a number of discrepancies between the soft cover book and the hard cover(which i got) with the sept km 06 corrections.. here is a list.
chapter 1 para 7 old..why should another book on revelation be published at this present time.

An Example of honesty wt Feb.2007
by bobld inthe wbts has published many of these, where money is found and returned to the owner .with a reason,because i am a jw.in this issue,there is a big picture of nelma:a woman from chuzeiro do sul,brazil.she apparently found $1000.00 in the pockets of some trousers that were donated because of a flood.nelma returned the money to the businesswoman who had donated the clothing.this lady was overjoyed to receive the money,because she had set aside her payroll for her employees in a trouser pocket.. should they(gb/fds) be idolizing these honest people?.
note:no man should be idolized.christians should guard against idolatry.it means giving such a one a measure of worshipful devotion.but god explicitly stated that he does not tolerate such a thing.however,they (gb/fds) lack proper perspective,of knowledge and understanding of honest people helping people.it is as if by exalting a fellow human creature they are lifting themselves up also.. now here is an example from the world.. this is from a wordly newspaper.yes i know the wts says these are half truths.i will not quote the whole article.
"i am contacting your newspaper in the hope that i may be able to puplicly thank the good samaritans who helped me when my truck broke down on the highway just......on date.in my distress,i regrettably failed to get the name of this kind young man from...who went home to get a vehicle that could tow my vehicle back to the city.and than to top it off,drove me to get a room for the night.my thanks are also extended to the hotel owner to drove me to my truck.he gives more praise.......thank you for the opportunity to express my gratitude to all who assisted me to return home safely".

just my take on wbts what's your's
by bobld inuntil 1879 no one understood the bible properly,until god apponted a fds/ibs.who would feed the domestics the proper food at the proper time.
(this food got rotten at times)then in 1918 jesus christ came for an inspection and found that the food was rotten and put the leaders in jail for 9 months(somehow this fits in with bible prophecy per fds/gb,i just don't know how)than in 1931 they changed their name to jw and in 1935 they began feeding the jonadab's i guess these jonadab's were getting very hungry.after they fed the jonadab's, they started to feed the worldly's.they said the time remaning for this system was short and would end before the generation that saw the world events of 1914 would be alive to see the new system and god's new kingdom ruling on the earth.that generation passed on,so in the wise wisdom of the gb/fds/wts in 1995 defined the length and meaning of the generation.they may have missed some scriptures where god defines the length of days for man.
(maybe the light wasn't shining or was blurry).in 2000 the gb/fds/wts said the end was very near,deep.deep,deep into this system.in fact "we,are no longer just around the corner,we are around the corner,in fact we are in the last hour".they mentioned 6 signs why the end was near(see 2000 wt&km).one on those signs were the gb/fds was getting very old and would not be around much longer.so they are training the jonadab's,well only special one to take over the feeding chores once all 144k are sealed in heaven.however,if the end doesn't come they the 144k will materialize and help with the sherphering work.
