US Politics - please read

by Simon in

we're already being innundated with the drivel that is the us political process.. propaganda, right and left.

no one wants to discuss or debate, they just want to shout in each others faces.. so, here's the rules:.

you can discuss politics as long as you are discussing things.if you just post copy-and-paste propaganda it will be deleted.if you post it in anywhere but the politics area it will be deleted.if it's the inane "obama can't prove he was born" or "romney is an alien" crap then it will be deleted.if you repeatedly violate the above, including trying to get threads shut-down, then you will be deleted.this has been a public service announcement on behalf of the "i dont' give a shit, the government always gets elected" party.. .

Sad news Re: Menlo Park Congregation

by Devil_Fish in

it saddens me to inform you that ruth edwards has passed.

ruth was a long time member of the menlo park congregation.

when the letter was read that indicated that john cobb, jason cobb, walter st. clair, and george stock had been removed from their post as elders, ruth fainted and needed to be taken to the hospital.

Can someone kindly post a link/thread about what happened in this congregation and why elders needed to be removed.

My son was murdered today

by truman in

i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.

i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.

maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

My god -I am so sorry. I wish I could share your pain but know this is not possible. My heart goes out to you.

Interview with former Watchtower P.R. man Robert Jankowski

by Dogpatch in

friends

last week i took a trip down to santa ana, ca.

and met robert jankowski, a name i heard very often at bethel in the late 70s.

robert was one of the voices of many watchtower drama characters in the 70s, along with tom cabeen, who he often worked with.. in addition, the watchtower was allowed a slot on local radio stations every sunday (allowed by law free of charge to churches then) , which he provided to the radio stations in cassette form in advance.

Question for Dogpatch (Randy): What will it cost to produce the new 16-page Watchtower & Awake?

by Alfred in

when literature used to be sold d2d, i remember how the society never missed an opportunity to trash other religions for "peddling god's word for profit" while boasting about how the watchtower only charges for the cost of the paper and ink.. in the book "witnesses of jehovah", the author mentioned that randall watters used to be involved in print cost analysis and determined that, while we were selling wt & awake mags for 20 cents door-to-door, it was really only costing the society 4 cents per copy to produce.

that's a whopping 400% profit!.

obviously, things have changed... the paper is different, as well as the ink and printing methods in general.

Printed WT Bound Volumes have to go next - they have to. On the WT-Library CD anyway and downloadable anyway.

The next logical thing (you have to have magazines to distribute to the public) is to make the study edition Downloadable only - and make the congregation pay for it - or the brothers in their own homes.

Tracts are much cheaper than magazines - so invite to the memorial/spec talk , then the DC and then an October Special. This will cut costs considerably.
