Instructions for appointing elders?
by JWOP ini know what the current "shepherd the flock" book, published in 2010, says about the process of appointing elders.

Need page number for Greber quote
by JWOP infrom the johannes greber book "communication with the spirit world of god -- its laws and purpose" :.
you are right to ask me who i am, for it is your first duty to test the spirits that speak to you and to assure yourself that they were sent by god ... i swear to you before god that i am one of his good spirits , indeed one of his highest spirits, but my name keep to yourself ... from the days of the first man down to the present, the spirit-world has communicated with mankind.
that is true of both the good spirit-world and the bad.

by JWOP ini keep finding references to the wts replying in a letter the following (a letter dated march 15, 1983) anyone know where i can get an actual scan of this?:.
no doubt you have had opportunity to read the comments in our letter dated december 31, 1982, to brother jack gottfried, secretary of your congregation.
in our letter we addressed the issue of the propriety of the society in quoting johannes greber's translation as an example of another translation that agreed with the new world translation.

Petition to launch investigation into Watchtower Human Rights violations
by JWOP inthe petition is for launching an investigation to determine if jehovah's witnesses have a right to use coercion -- forms of mental torture -- to force its members not to leave.
this petition is going to the attorney general's office, department of justice, office of the high commissioner of human rights, and uscirf.
it needs a total of 5,000 signatures; as of this moment there are only 1,950. sign up and encourage others to sign up as well -- the watchtower society needs to be held accountable for their abuses and violations of human rights!.
