"Might as well leave the sheep in the world as to bring them to an unclean organization!"
This is the sort of quote that after learning of the WTS history, especially Rutherford's time, that make you want to spew your coffee.

by bereanbiblestudent inthis booklet was published before as a pdf but not in full color and not searchable.
so here is the 1953 booklet "preach the word" with the english, german, french, dutch and afrikaanse text made searchable.
i tried greek as well but the fonts where not transferred to the pdf so i left it out.

It is now the first week of January and now what is the theme of the District Assembly this year?

The Scriptures they gave at the meeting had to do with "Walking in Integrity"
and the brother doing the talk, the Service Overseer, said these scriptures
probably gave us a clue as to what the theme will be.I googled it and there was one District Convention in 1985 with the theme
"Integrity Keepers". It would be like the WTS to recycle old material and dust
it off for re-consumption, sort of like left over meat in due season. -

IF
Power corrupts...
...and absolute power corrupts absolutely...
does that mean that the lack of power is anti-corruptive?
The minute someone has power over another it may corrupt that relationship?
If fish live in the sea does it make it fishy?
...and if lions are outside in the street is that reason to stay home if you're a starving magazine news reporter?
...and if you venture out does that make you "meat" in due season?

The Gradual Change From Worshiping Jehovah To The Worship Of the Governing Body
by frankiespeakin ini first began my misadventures with jehovah's witnesses in 1972 as a youth(18 years old) and was baptised in that same year.
i was young inexperienced and they caught me at a low point when i was weak and looking for god to solve problems.
being raised as a catholic and going to all the religious indoctrination up to the point of confirmation, i guess you could say i was indoctrinated from birth to believe a certain way which left me vulnerable to the jw propaganda.. fast foreword to the time of my departure in 2001 february.. for a couple of years (late 90s) before i left i started noticing out right lies in the wt publications about their history and the luster that these magazines used to have started to fade rapidly also around that time i really began to notice the gobs and gobs of praise they were bestowing on the organization and the representative members of the so called faithful & discrete slave(gb).

All you have to do is just listen to their prayers from the platform===bow your heads to the GB.Iam sick of hearing all the praises to the GB.
You're so right Bob. If I hear a brother pray thanking the FDS this or that and GB this or that I just don't even say Amen. During a recent CO visit I didn't even clap for the hard nose traveling servant and his snappy talks. When you're trapped, even a little resistance of this sort brings a good feeling int the heart. Oh, I know the heart is treacherous but more so are the minds of these Governing Body members.

Oppostate, I don't see a bug so you must have changed it... Greeky. Does it mean "the last"? O-mega.
Thanks WAC for the nice compliment I happen to appreciate my avatar now. Thanks.
I also happen to think Billy's is cute!
Mouthy has a beautiful smile, and Blondie's is just so classy.
It would be nice if we could see more faces and fewer bugs.

LOOK AT Barber's White Shirt Ghost Reflection on both Table Tops!
If you look at the table top the reflection of Barber's white shirt and tie is still there, but the poor guy has been photoshoped out and replaced with another GB member.
Definitely a photoshop job.
They may have had many shots of the same sitting for the picture and chose one for the 2006 and another to photoshop for 2008.
