A Jehovah Witness serves as Civil Servant in Government Institution What has changed in WT Policy?
by Nick! ina jehovah witness serves as civil servant in government institution what has changed in wt policy?.
according to the new liberian (see link http://newliberian.com/?p=558#more-558 )an alleged jehovah witness, mr. andrew togba davies, a consummate professional, (who) indeed devoted his entire adult life to public service, working in various capacities as a christian minister, lawyer, educator, diplomat, and national security professional, passed away on january 3, 2009, in monrovia, liberia.
he was 71.. the article specifies that he was a devout christian who, on december 19, 1969, after an ardent course of bible study, dedicated his life to jehovah and served faithfully as one of jehovahs witnesses until his death.. the article continues by saying in 1982, he began his diplomatic service as the liberian special maritime representative to the united states.

What do you think of the Wise Men NOW!
by wobble ini have just been watching the carols and readings from kings college cambridge,england, bloody marvellous!.
a couple of times they have referred to the visit of the wise men, i wonder what you guys make of this,it always seemed to me a strange thing to be in scripture,the visit of some devout presumably zoroastrian seers.
the wt take on this is that "satan used them to try to bring about the death of jesus".

Holding hands during prayer.
by greenhornet ini remember with some jw family's during prayer every one would hold hands around the table.
i think it is like a cult or some pagan practice.
now that i am out of the box looking in, i find this practice weird.

Critiquing an article out of the June 2006 Awake!
by Pallbearer inurl for article:http://www.watchtower.org/e/200606b/article_01.htm.
the short article noted above appeared in the june 2006 issue of awake!
although i think the author did a good job in general i totally disagree with the following three things that were said:(a) by asserting their independence, adam and eve irreparably damaged their relationship with jehovah (b) and inflicted sinas imprint upon their organism, right to its genetic foundations.

What I Learned from Bro Lett's DC Talk
by Rohag inwhat i learned/derived from steven lett's dc talk (thanks again, ynot, for providing access to the .mp3 files!).
brother lett - or the committee that produced the talk - really loves food metaphors.well-dressed people, especially children, produce a good witness.if you're an apostate, chances are bad conduct/secret sin/moral depravity made you that way.
apostasy is usually founded on sin and rarely on conviction.the bible is an insufficient - or overly cumbersome - guide to godly conduct.

SCANNED ARTICLE ON BLOOD FRACTIONS 'WORKBOOK'
by Mary ini'm not sure if this has ever been posted, but here's the uh "workbook" that all jws are given regarding blood fractions.
of course, the hypocrisy shines through as when it asks "are fractions also covered by the command to abstain from blood?
we cannot say" and "your decisions should be your own and should not be based on someone else's conscience.

Society to start laminating paper backed publications
by Lady Zombie inat the wednesday night ministry school meeting, a letter from the society was read announcing that wtbts paperbacked publications will begin to be laminated.
according to the letter, this "will save approximately 2 million dollars per year," "lengthen the life of the publications," and "increase the attractiveness" of the publications.. so there's that.. .
also, will someone please explain to me why 85% of the congregation started smiling and nodding at this.. i sometimes think that headquarters could send the congregations boxes of turds and the jws would act like it was the best thing ever..
