Are the Great Crowd back out in the Court of the Gentiles?
by passwordprotected inin 2002 the wts acknowledged that naos as per revelation 7 does not in fact refer to the courtyard of the gentiles, but in reality - and correctly - is a much more divine place.. quote;.
but as the heavenly elder said to john, the great crowd really is in the temple, not outside the temple area in a kind of spiritual court of the gentiles.
what a privilege that is!

No one else fulfills the preaching of Matt 24:14
by passwordprotected inas explained to me recently, only jehovah's witnesses are actively fulfilling matt 24:14, thus showing them alone to be the true religion.
sidestepping the glaring issue of jesus stating that love would mark the identity of true christians, let's examine that notion.. .
i have personally rebutted that opinion by stating, with accuracy, that many christians have a gospel ministry and manage to reach hundreds of millions of people across the planet with their message.. .

Do all GB members claim to be anointed?
by passwordprotected indoes anyone have documented 'evidence' that all of the gb members are anointed, included those appointed to the body in 2005/6?
as some of the newest members were formally 'nethinim', are we to believe that these men, some of whom are in their 50s, are of the remnant of 144,000, and if so, could this be the reason behind the dropping of 1935?

New meeting arrangement - just over 5 months to go
by passwordprotected inat the recent dc the new meeting arrangement was mentioned just once, but not to give us further details on how the new meeting will be structured or how the r&f will be cared for.. .
instead the audience was urged not the second guess the gb, being advised to look at how well the spirit has directed the org up until now, so therefore it will do so into the future.. .
but the reality is the congregations are only just over 5 months away from this new meeting arrangement, yet they know little about how it'll actually affect them.. .

Not actually using the Bible at the WT study
by passwordprotected inhas anyone else noticed the trend for the r&f to use printed sheets with each de-contextualized verse for each wt paragraph printed on it?
i've noticed in several congregations that many of the r&f - including the shepherds - don't even have their bible opened during the wt study and do not refer to it.
there are a few obvious issues with this; any interested persons in attendance at the meeting will quickly see that the jws do not rely heavily on the bible - they just have little verses printed out at home.

Disaster Preparedness
by passwordprotected inas an elder i have a file on my computer containing the name, address, cell and home telephone number of every publisher associated with the congregation of which i am a part.
it is my understanding that this information is also held at the branch and, in turn, at brooklyn.
the reasoning behind the need to have such information on all of the publishers is that, in the event of a disaster, be it through 'nature' or design, the elders will be able to contact the 'flock'.
