  2. friends

  we are pleased to make available the outlines for your meeting with the regular pioneers, special pioneers, and field missionaries that will be held in conjunction with one of the circuit assembliesduring the 2018 service year.

  please note that you will now be allowed the flexibility todetermine with which circuit assembly the meeting will be held.

  your primary consideration shouldbe what is in the best interests of the majority of the pioneers, not what is most convenient for you.there are many factors to be considered, such as weather, travel distance, accommodations, and soforth.

  Whatever "new light" it is, I deduce from this it is not the elimination of the "pioneer arrangement" or time counting.

  Russell v Russell: the 1908 court transcript

  by Londo111 in

  does anyone know how to obtain a copy?.

  i have poked around pennsylvania websites, attempting to figure out how to obtain the transcript, but recently, i have it on good authority that the transcript went missing from the pennsylvania archives over 30 years ago.

  it is likely that there is vested interest (jws, bible students) to keep this hidden..

  I only ran into dead ends, but you can likely accomplish this.
  

  Unfortunately, I am finding not everyone has an open source mentality. And evidently there are some who do not want this transcript to get out at all.

  In this transcript, Russell lies under oath about the Solon Society, a wholesale goods business run from HQ, Solon catalogs were even sent to Watchtower subscribers.

  A retraction and apology - I posted incorrect information.

  by doubtfull1799 in

  it was recently brought to my attention by the person who was with me on the carts at the time, that a comment i made six months ago about the cart work on this forum was incorrect.

  i apologise and in the interests of honesty and accuracy i feel it is only right to issue a public retraction.

  i have quoted the post in question below as i am not sure how to correct or delete the original.

  LDC or Regional Building Committee?

  so i saw on instagram from one of the major uber elders from everett wa posted a picture of where he was staying for the week long safety training the ldc was putting on.

  well this "suite" had a full bar for one thing and everything else was quite fancy!

  he was complaining about losing $$ for a week since he had to go to this training but the accommodations were wonderful.

  Local Design Committee. It replaced the Regional Building Commitee.

  Charles T Russell -a freemason and the connection to the illuminati...

  by dolphman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, i'm not one for conspiracy theories but lately i've uncovered some interesting facts that i think warrant some attention.. first of all, russell was a freemason.

  all the early watchtower and books he authored have freemason symbology and art throughout them.

  not a big deal i thought, until i read more about freemasons and the so-called "illuminati", a group of 13 families that supposedly control the world.. supposedly these 13 families, such as the duponts, mcdonalds, kennedys, .

  Agreed.

  Except he was buried under a pyramid. It's true that the pyramid isn't technically his gravestone, it is the most prominent feature nearby.

  Watch out where you tread

  i remember like it was yesterday.

  my dad pounding his fist on the kitchen table and gritting his teeth as he tells me to get out!

  he kicked me out of his house.

  Kicking your kid out the house because of their religion is just as wrong as kicking them out because they want to leave. He was supposed to be the mature one.

  in retrospect: RBCs vs LDCs / the hype about a lot of new construction and subsequent abrupt halt to construction

  by Magnum in

  so, now that some time has passed, i’d like some input/thoughts/analysis/etc.

  on the jw construction situation in the last few years.. first, why did they discontinue the rbc arrangement and institute the ldc arrangement?

  was it for more and/or better control?

  Things do not arise in a vacuum...there is something that told the man that it was okay to profit off "the brothers".
  

  I do wonder how much this goes on throughout the organization and not just with construction.
