  A WT copycat

  wouldn't it be cool to make a look-a-like watchtower magazine and fill it full of things that expose the real wt ?

  You might wish to take a look at those: http://svhelden.gmxhome.de/svh/reload.htm?satire.htm

  BTW: "Awake!" is "Erwachet!" in Germany, so this one is "Erbrechet!" which means "Vomit!"

  It is full of nonsense like applying Grimm#s fairy tales to modern day prophecy. But everything very WT-style.

  Click on the title to get the pdf.

  Blow there is the "bound volume" and "Our Pumpin Ministry" (Kürbisrechsdienst = does not make sense in Germany either)

  In which year were publishers allowed to report only 15 minutes?

  i am trying to account for some of the growth trends of jw's and was trying to find out when jw's were first allowed to report only 15 minutes field service in one month.

  i think it was early 2000's but can not be sure.. .

  Florida woman fired for saying Merry Christmas instead of Happy holidays!

  by Witness 007 in

  2. scandals

  foxnews reports that a florida woman was fired for refusing to say: "happy holidays" she insisted that as a christian she use the term christmas.

  i have found others with the same view.

  though one witness sister was fired from a smallgoods company for refusing to say "merry christmas.

  Happy Holidays" is incredibly insensitive and insulting to me, since I don't celebrate any holidays. How dare you show such intolerance and hatred!

  Well then, let me be the first to wish you a happy asshole day.

  You qualified as a true believer.

  Tannenbaum actually means fir tree, no relation to x-mas. But it is usually sung at x-mas time.

  This is so sad. This morning I talked to my wife about Ians illness and now I have to read that it has already had a bad end. I had hoped otherwise. Thanks for keeping us informed which must be hard for you. It is good that JWD is still up so that we can keep in contact. Ian was more than a very loved discussion board member but many of us have met him in person. Please accept our condolence.
