From enemies to friends: Did it really happen?

by StephaneLaliberte in

yesterday, they showed the story “from enemies to friends” at the kingdom hall.

my mother in law told me about it as she was touched by the story.

so then, later in the evening, i searched for the video and found it in the january 1st 2017 broadcast.

On another thread they had a vid of person reviewing Tony Tight Pants rave about, well you know. On the side suggestion list was another talk by Tony - beware of the bird catcher. If you want to hear one fake story after another (followed by tony's high pitch laughter) just watch. Or don't and save your mind....

New Light

by Lost in the fog in

am i the only one who can't reconcile new light with the light gets brighter?

if it matters at all.

i bring a candle into my house and light it.

I've tried to think of different ways of showing the craziness of that idea. In your illustration, you've missed one aspect.

After tossing the old candle and lighting the new, you realize that the brightest light was the old candle. So you relight it. Ooops, no the new one was brighter. Ooops no the old one...

Will those that were Destroyed in Sodom and Gomorrah be Resurrected? Yes, No, Yes, and NO...maybe yesss......

Heinrich Himmler and the Jehovah's Witnesses

by OrphanCrow in

friends

this is a letter written in july 1944 by heinrich himmler, one of the most powerful men in nazi germany.. i have encountered quotes taken from this letter before but i have never read the letter in its entirety.

this is a translated copy from a russian website:.

Interesting letter. Very clever on how they want to cause division by giving land to the peasants and then make it a provision that they have to maintain the border.

For some reason, the part about using the JW's, brings to mind the movie "Bridge over the rive Kwai" Alec Guiness leads the prisoners into building the enemies bridge as a matter of pride. Showing off the good skills of the british army. He misses the point that the enemy will use it against them and the allies.

The organization has always proudly pointed out that there were JW barbers that shaved the concentration camp leaders. Did all sorts of trustworthy things etc. Did they know it helped the nazi's?

The Phonograph and the Cart

by days of future passed in

these special pioneers took the lead in the phonograph work when the society voluntarily withdrew from commercial use of the radio.. to learn of the effectiveness of this new program let's read from the 1940 yearbook, which presents the report for the 1939 service year:.

the special pioneer work was announced at the columbus convention in september, 1937, and that work has continued now for two years with good results.

when the special pioneer work began the company publishers were not convinced of the value of making back-calls and the regular daily use of the phonograph.. about 200 specially chosen pioneers throughout the country took upon themselves the responsibility of really putting to use the phonograph.

What I was saying was, they made a lot of money on the phonograph and somehow they make money on the carts too. I don't think the watchtower makes the carts. But they certainly wouldn't let a 3rd party get all the money either. Just shows that the WT recycles ideas. Pretty soon they will own a bank that handles all the atm transactions so they can charge an extra fee for JW's contributions. Why not?

About 200 specially chosen pioneers throughout the country took upon themselves the responsibility of really putting to use the phonograph. They were sent into the large cities where companies were organized, and there it was proved, without question of doubt, that the phonograph had an important place in the proclamation of the Kingdom. In the past two years, because the publishers of the Kingdom became phonograph-minded, more than 20,000 phonographs had to be manufactured at the Brooklyn plant, and then we were unable to keep up with the demand.

I happened to stumble on this and noticed that the WT produced their own record players. Something that probably made them a lot of money. Isn't it the same with the carts? All the poor people shelling out money for something that was made with volunteer labor and cheap parts. Hope some of them played music on it at least. Can't do that with the cart. Unless you get the version that sings like in the video.

Maybe when the society figures out a new way to make JW's pay, they can use the cart as a dolly. Haul trash out with it.

The other interesting thing in the article was the sentence "when the Society voluntarily withdrew from the commercial use of the radio" Was there a controversy over this?

Religion, governments, workplaces - can be so powerful that it may take years before someone will stand up. The first ones might not be remembered, but because they dared, others will take courage.

I like your post.

There is a picture of men and women standing outside the WT in sandwich boards. They weren't many but they did what they could to protest the WT. I can't imagine how alone they must have felt and how great the odds were that they could make a difference.
