aren't there still some countries that exist in which the society makes the "brothers" pay for literature?
(like it was up until 2 decades ago) if so....does anyone have a list of them?
.
I am sure that now they will turn on producing theocratic software:
"Theocratic Guard!"
All baptized publishers will be forced to purchase it and install it on their PCs. And yes it will run only in Windoze. Linux? Linux has demons and you will be directed to the back room if heard that you use it.
Theocratic guard will block all porno, apostate and whatever page disagrees with the Organization of Jehovah GB.

saw this on jwtalk they were putting down apostates and posted this quote:.
watchtower 1982 3/1 p. 8. .
identifying marks of true religion .
Does any church do so?

this forum would probably not be a good measuring stick for answering that question.
god is supposed to put it into the heart of the beast (u.n.) to hate the harlot (religion) and destroy her.
do you see this happening or is this another "we're seeing more earthquakes" thing?.
Official doctrine is that Babylon the Great has fallen but not destroyed yet. This is not new light. Nothing has changed.

if you've been to the meeting when the letter was read, what was jw reaction????
just curious if it was just another sign that the end is nearer or did any wake up for a second to realize the corporation is downsizing due to costs..
As I wrote in another thread quite a number clapped their hands in our congo.
Moronity on its climax!

i had to sit though the the special talk yesterday "is it later than you think", the brother a good deal of time making the case that major earthquakes are on the rise, and how i should believe it is "later than i think" based on that fact.
i took a bit of time to research this today, and sure enough they are not.
the link below has a chart of major earthquakes since the mid nineties, and it clearly shows they are random and all over the place.
Cities population is increasing so you have more deaths.
The reasoning is yet another b******* of the GB morons.

because gorby has attended the memorial, he and his wife decide that one meeting a week was more then enough.. the rest of the family has attended the meeting this morning, including the special statement about the use of internet for marketing reasons instead of the magazines.. later on the day, we visited the family for a good cup of coffee.
nobody told us about the special statement!
and nobody asked us why we did not attend the special talk this day.. .
Hey dudes, any other congo clapping their hands after the announcement about the 'Midi Tower' and 'Half Awake!'? Because they did in ours!
I told my wife prior to the announcement that someone would be a fool and clap his hands and quite a number would follow suit. And it happened! We couldn't stop ourselves from laughing.

can anyone tell me what is in this letter.
it is mentioned in the 'ps to coordinator of the body of elders' in the letter dated april 2, 2012 to be read on april 8, 2012 about the changes to the mags and the jw web site.
this feb 1st letter is to be read immediately following the special talk.
400.000 X 30 = 12.000.000
THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE CIRCULATION OF THE MAGAZINES.
Yet another b******t letter from the morons of the GB.

http://vridar.wordpress.com/2007/04/25/the-shipwrecks-of-josephus-and-paul-part-3/.
robert gnuse listed 12 coincidences of content between the two.
his article is vita apologetica: the lives of josephus and paul in apologetic historiography [jsp 13.2 (2002) 151-169].
And many more would have been taken to Rome as they appealled to Caesar and had a Shipwreck and survived. All these must have been quite common those days.

Hmm, a new name will soon be announced for the Public edition of the Watchtower:
Midi Tower!
the first most important thing is that we have a loooooooooong weekend to chill, take in the sunshine (cos it's going to be hot in durbs).
the second most important thing is chocolate this year!
i've already had chocolat cake, chocolate covered marshmellow eggs and chocolate :) all notions of healthy eating - outta the window.. i know there is a ton of stuff on christ's death and resurrection - what i will watch are probably the doccies that go more into the facts and details of that time period - dstv (our sa cable) usually shows a number of these shows, find them very fascinating.. so to the christians that celebrate their lords death and resurrection - happy easter.
Leolaia: You did nice research. Yet we are not living in those times to be so certain that there is absolutely no connection.
