The Anointed Remnant:- Are They Really Anointed?
by stevieb1 inthis has been something that has been in the back of my mind for quite a while.
are those claiming to be of the anointed amongst jehovah's witnesses really going to heaven?
many jw' view them as being on a higher spiritual plain than the average jw and that they view the bible as a personal letter to them.

GLOBAL HALT ON KINGDOM HALL CONSTRUCTION?
by stevieb1 inon another post a number of days ago it was rumoured that the society were going to announce or had already intimated that due to financial constraints there was to be an immediate stop to all kingdom hall construction worldwide.
if this is true this would be big news!!
can anyone on here, especially jw insiders shed any further light on this matter or offer some sort of evidence that this is/is not so.

Quality of this Forum
by stevieb1 injust a quick thought - i am a firm believer in freedom of speech etc, but having been on this forum for some time i honestly can't say that i can introduce a doubting jw interested in true christianity to this board.
some of the deep discussions on jw doctrine are excellent, but everything else seems to be nonsense in my opinion.
why can't this site be more like the old www.witnesses.net which seemed to have more spiritual meat rather than backbiting, gossip, and rumour and even obscenity.. sorry for my frank opinion

EXCLUSIVE Official GB Publishing Committee Report
by stevieb1 inpublishing committee report .
a report from the publishing committee on making the best use of contributed funds.. five years ago because of construction in the united states and throughout the world on k. h. and a. h. and branches the needs were greater than the available funds putting quite a strain on the resources.. the design build committee limited any building projects to only those absolutely necessary.
this resulted in saving millions of dollars just the first year.. the operations committee with the help of a new integrated computer system was able to make some significant changes.

WELL WORTH READING: JW's + 144,000
by stevieb1 infound this material on an yahoo egroups site on greek theology on which quite a number of witness apologists contribute.
there is quite a bit of interesting stuff on here, but here is a worthwhile comment made on the 144,000 as they relate to the "fds class" and jw's since 1879. establishes from purely mathematical point of view that the 144,000 cannot be a literal but figurative.

Debate With Elder - Part 2 (Organization)
by stevieb1 ini really appreciated your input on my previous thread which dealt with a rebuttal to a jw elder who has written a piece "defending" the premise that jehovah is using an organization today to dispense spiritual truth.
here is part two of this item.
the second part of the article begins by implying that the modern day organization is synonymous with the "congregation of the living god" and is "god's household," a "pillar and support of the truth" (1 timothy 3:15).. the following is a direct quote from his article:.
