It is interesting is it not how many in the past who were clearly part of or attached to Babylon the Great MIGHT have been of the annointed. Today that connection would have them villified and denounced for that connection.

I don't think you have a grasp on just how much they own in New York. Not just a couple buildings. It is a great deal of real estate. I know we would love to think they are struggling but it is simply not the reality.

Could you 'Wake Up Happy' if you were an active Witness, knowing what you know now? (A 2012 Convention invitation)
by ScenicViewer ina convention invitation.
i came home the other day and found an invitation to the upcoming district convention in my door.
i don't believe these are left in the doors of the general public, so a well-meaning witness must have been thinking of me, even though i have not been to the kh in about 7 years.. the leading question on the front immediately got my attention, and made my jaw drop a bit.. i thought i would ask the forum, .

@scenicviewer - The "'Wake up happy every morning, with positive thoughts'" thingy is in the future, not now!! And as Billy the ex said "will require the brutal murder of billions of innocent men, women, and children?" Isn't just sooo exciting??

*** w91 8/1 p. 3 The Last Judgment ***
The Last Judgment
"WHEN thou diest thy soul will be tormented alone; that will be a hell for it: but at the day of judgment thy body will join thy soul, and then thou wilt have twin-hells, thy soul sweating drops of blood, and thy body suffused with agony."
THIS is how the 19th-century preacher C. H. Spurgeon described the clergy view of judgment day and the sufferings of the damned. The Italian artist Michelangelo had a similarly terrifying belief, as is seen in his painting "The Last Judgment" (a section of which is reproduced above), on the wall of the Sistine chapel in Rome. The New Encyclopædia Britannica says of this painting: "The Christ in Judgment is a thundering god rather than a Christian saviour, more concerned with damning the human race than in welcoming the blessed into heaven."Not sure if this is what you want.

And to add to that cantleave - is it primarily life saving or since the vast majority don't jump on the bus and repent is it more like death dealing. After all #4 suggests that one of the purposes of preaching is so that Jah can say "well you evil, wicked bastards, you were warned." Not sure why only 0.01% of earths population can see that they would be so much better off listening.

@elderlite - todays tower they are saving lives. That km they are sanctifying jah's name. Gotta make up their minds. Why do they preach. To save lives or sanctify god's name. I realize that km lists 12 bits of bull. But then why at other times in other articles in assembly parts and on and on push the preaching work and the saving of lives. So is it (Matthew 24:14) 14 And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. Or is it "preach until you sanctify god's name and then the end will come?

Twelve Reasons for Preaching
Why do we preach and teach the good news? Is it primarily to help honesthearted people onto the road to life? (Matt. 7: 14) That is the first reason listed below, but it is not our primary one. Which of the following 12 reasons for engaging in the ministry do you think is the most important?
1. It helps save lives.-John 17:3.
2. It serves to warn the wicked. -Ezek. 3:18, 19.
3. It contributes to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.-Matt. 24:14.
4. It is an expression of God's righteousness. No charge can be brought against Jehovah that he destroyed the wicked without giving them opportunity to repent.-Acts 17:30,31;1 Tim. 2:3,4.
5. It allows us to discharge our debt to give spiritual help to people purchased with the blood of Jesus. -Rom. 1:14, 15.
6. It enables us to avoid bloodguilt. -Acts 20:26, 27.
7. It is a requirement for our own salvation.-Ezek. 3:19; Rom. 10:9, 10.
8. It demonstrates love for neighbor. -Matt. 22:39.
9. It shows obedience to Jehovah and his Son.-Matt. 28:19, 20.
10. It is part of our worship.-Heb. 13:15.
11. It expresses our love for God. -1 John 5:3.
12. It contributes toward the sanctification of Jehovah's name.-Isa. 43:10-12;Matt. 6:9.
Of course, these are not the only reasons we engage in the ministry. For example, preaching strengthens our faith and also gives us the privilege to be God's fellow workers. (1 Cor. 3:9) However, the most important reason for sharing in the ministry is number 12. Regardless of the response we receive, the ministry contributes toward the sanctification of God's name and gives Jehovah a reply to the one who is taunting him. (Prov. 27: 11) Indeed, we have compelling reasons to 'continue without letup teaching and declaring the good news.'-Acts 5:42.
