Refuting Russell and his Bible Students.
by Lost in the fog ini recently came across this reprinted book in a friend's library.
i hadn't seen it before, but it appears to be a refutation of the teachings of russell and also of the seventh day adventists.
some interesting logic is used by the author mainly around the bible chronology used by russell in his books.

Accounts Report
by Lost in the fog inthe monthly accounts report is read to the congregation and pinned to the notice board afterwards.
at the circuit assembly and special day the circuit accounts report is also read to the audience - usually highlighting the costs associated with the venue and hinting that the contents of the contribution boxes won't cover the cost, while purposely neglecting to mention that the monthly deposits from each congregation in the circuit have not been included in the report and will actually result in a surplus figure.
but then that might stop the guilt ridden audience opening their wallets and putting in as much as possible even if they couldn't afford to do so.

Organized To Do Jehovah’s Will - Book.
by Lost in the fog indid you know that the current organization book for jws is available to freely download from their jw(dot)org website?
seemingly gone are the days when it was treated with the same secrecy as the holy grail and wasn't shown to a bible student unless they were genuinely considering baptism.

Faith is a Personal Matter.
by Lost in the fog inapparently according to the jw (dot) org website - wait for it - your faith is a personal thing.
if this were really true then the elders shouldn't be asking you awkward questions about what you believe (as a pimo).
or if they do, you can just say that your faith is a personal matter.... .

Wedding Rings.
by Lost in the fog inwe have long queried why so-called things of pagan or religious origin like christmas or easter are banned by the wts but the use of wedding rings were not.. i was talking about this with a friend who follows a wiccan path of belief and he has sent me the following information from one of his magic magazines.. quote: .
" why do we wear our wedding ring on our ‘ring finger’ ?
thus, to properly activate the ring finger we need to wear a golden ring on it.
