I hope everyone has had a chance to see the latest "Our Kingdom Misery" for Sept 2007 with the "Question Box" (really propaganda) written expressely "for JW eyes only" (LOL). The Guverning Buddy is clearly in panic mode trying to prevent the Jehovahs Witness rank & file from thinking and ESPECIALLY posting... like they will do right here in a few minutes.

"Ishvarian" seems to be the only Jehovahs Witness willing to bear the wrath of 'God', or is that 'god' as in the god of watchtower who lives in New York City and meets on wednesday's with the guverning buddy.

"achtung heiss", who replied below, attempts to play down the "Kingdom Ministry" article in question, to appear as though his, and other Jehovahs Witness's internet activity is still OK while "not endorsed"... The actual artilce reads in paragraph 3, "All Christians should strive to "shun foolish questionings....for they are unprofitable and futile." --Titus 3:9" The tone of the entire article is quite clear as "actung heiss" knows well, specifically that the GB want's all JWs to stay off the internet, and to "SHUN" it. So clearly, "achtung heiss" LIED. His activity is CONDEMNED BY THE GUVERNING BUDDY. And he's willing to go against them, and lie to us here. Can you trust Satan?

"Ishvarian" posted below in an attempt to call into question my honesty, suggesting I don't really have the article in question. I have quoted the article here directly from my copy on my desk in front of me. Most assuredly I have a copy in front of me, in fact I have 2. I had 3, but one has been sent to a University student who wanted a real honest, printed in watchtowerland copy for a thesis. "Ishvarian" is a hypocrite, since he/she knows that they should NOT be here or anywhere else for that matter. This person should continue to worship the WTBTS by taking its edicts more seriously. The last paragraph says to him/her "For those who wish to do extra Bible Study and research, we recommend that they explore Insight on the Sctriptures (printed by them), All Scripture Inspired (printed by them) and OUR OTHER PUBLICATIONS...." So get lost "Ishvarian" in watchtowerland.

This is so sad. They specifically say for JW's not to use or explore any other ideas or topics and to use only THEIR literature if researching. How sad. If this doesn't show how JW's are truly brainwashed, nothing will.

Sarcasm aside, I assume you are refering to the Watchtower Bible and Tract society. Clearly if something was "for JW eyes only" the asker wouldn't have been given the chance to read it as you aren't one.
Meanwhile, I noticed 2 or 3 of the asker's old questions are gone. Rather annoying no doubt for both the asker and me. I enjoyed them. I do wonder if the asker has decided which of his/her theories to go with. If those reading this will recall, in older questions this asker asserted that a member of the Y!A community had lived at a WB&TS facility, and that that person typed there answers from there. In a following question, the asker asked if this same member was a Witness or not. I personally enjoyed the questions and accusations, and would love to know what the final conclusion is.

The "Question Box" of the September 2007 merely noted that the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses does not [quote] "endorse" [unquote]
websites and discussion groups other than its own official ones.
This word "endorse" was used very specifically, and repeatedly.
When a defender of Jehovah's Witnesses chooses to host or participate in some discussion, his words do not represent the official position of the religion, but merely his individual interpretation of it. The readers of that issue of Kingdom Ministry were reminded that the official positions can be researched in various publications of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Not exactly a sinister suggestion, now is it?

so is a Fable that Jesus will rule the earth during the millenium and transform it into a paradise full of perfects humans , cause that is what Jehovah ´ s witnesses preach.
I really like to be here to see how easy is to see when someone is lying.
by the way always respond the same group of people seems nobody cares the questions of the gang.

I am going to have to look that one up...do you have a link?
in answer to your question, yes they are on the run...i see a lot of newer Witnesses not even aware of their basic history or theology for that matter...as for me I have been freed from captivity for 24 years..Praise Jesus and amen!
How do you do it..I mean know that it is a false prophet, and act like you are interested?
Here are the Quotes:
"The September 2007 Kingdom Ministry (an official internal publication for Jehovah's Witnesses) has clamped down on a number of activities being pursued by individual Jehovah's Witnesses that are viewed as unacceptable by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. The following are condemned as not endorsed in this edition of Kingdom Ministry:
Independent groups of Witnesses who have taken it upon themselves to discuss, debate, or research the Bible (including the study of the original Hebrew and Greek of the scriptures). It is highly likely that independent apologists for Jehovah's Witnesses, such as Greg Stafford and Rolf Furuli, are in view here. Such men have gained a steady following over the years among Witnesses and have produced religious literature defending Jehovah's Witness beliefs. However, as they are independent thinkers, there is the trend to deviate from and even question some of the teachings of the Watchtower Society. Examples of this are seen in Three Dissertations on the Teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses, by Greg Stafford where he questions such things as legalism, blood transfusions, door knocking, the non-celebration of birthdays, etc.
"Scientific subjects related to the Bible." This may possibly mean the disapproval of any Witnesses who pursue the evolution/creationism debate apart from the Watchtower's own literature (a pursuit popular with some Witnesses).
Web site, chat rooms, and independent publications by individual Jehovah's Witnesses.
Any conferences or meetings independent of official Watchtower gatherings. "

I wonder if they can get Disfellowshipped for being here!
Maybe they will start reporting each other!
The WBTS sure wants the witnesses to stay blind, don't they?

Wow, the WTB&TS either; 1. Wants the info out by apostates or 2. Thinks they can hide something from the General Public.
Are you sure that is not only on your copy?
hahaha

how a cult could ever take in so many poor, spiritually craved people is just a crying shame. I don't believe in god, but if i did, they , and i mean all of them except their twisted leaders, would be the first ones I prayed for.

wow. what happened to their "bible trained conscience?"

i see people are back to attacking the questionner instead of the question.
