FRAUDULENT door to door premise from the "Catholic" Governing Body
by Terry inaccording to the organization with its governing body pronouncements of "truth", the bible was written for and directed to the chosen elite with the heavenly hope and not to the rank and file "other sheep.".
if this were truly so, would that not mean the admonitions to preach the good news of the kingdom would, logically, be directed soley to the chosen elite and not to the the rank and file as well?.
if the governing body possesses that magically spirit-directed message of truth--and they only--it would be irresponsible for non-anointed to take upon themselves work given to the chosen few, would it not?.

Generation change in study article
by LadyCCC ini just finished reading the "journal" and it mentioned that they have said in the past that the generation meant the unbelieving jews, and then in modern day times generation meant world of unbelievers, now am i wrong to assume that what is mentioned in paragraph 15 of the last study article in the feb. 15th watchtower is that the annointed are the "generation"?
is this now new light?
are we to assume that this is still the truth despite the changes, i mean what if they are and our faith is being tested?

Romans 8
by confused and lost ini have just finished reading the book of romans and i have a question ?
a person cannot please god unless he is controlled by the spirit.
(rom 8:8,9) nor can he put to death the misdeeds of the body except by the spirit (rom 8:13) the next verse (v14) then tells us that all who are led by gods spirit are gods sons.in fact they are adopted as his children.however,according to the wts , these verses only apply to the annointed.so,my question is this.if only the annointed are led by gods spirit,whose spirit leads the "other sheep" ?

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.

What kind of people remain members and will serve the WTS to the end?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy family have been members of the wts since the 1980's.
they never went to college,don't read any books besides watchtower material,have no hobbies,don't have any friends besides witness "friends",worked manual labor jobs all their lives,never questioned anything the wts changes,and have never looked into any other teachings besides the wts propaganda.
{ in other words: they are closed minded and not very inquisitive}.

"Babylon the Great has Gallen--God's Kingdom Rules!"
by Terry inthis was the book we studied when i went to prison in 1967 at seagovilled federal correctional facility near dallas.. the babylon book, we called it.. it is where i first encountered fred franz's mania for specificity.
franz was the lone ranger prophetic mouthpiece for jw's for a long time and pounded out on his typewriter an amazing array of weird books.
but, the babylon book had it all.
