*** w89 1/1, page 12, par 8 "The Hand of Jehovah Was With Them" ***
The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity. He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our day.
This quote is taken from the actual loose Watchtower.
*** w89 1/1, page 12, par 8 "The Hand of Jehovah Was With Them" ***

the 12-1-99 wt is a another wonderful article that plays on the fact that the avg jw doesn't know their history and for those who do
they are left with the job of denying it or doing the 2 step about it
it starts out like this ----dealing with the apocalypse
"For decades, ******** have been prophesying that some sort of society-wide breakdown lies just around the corner"
now I left out the name of the group and used ****** instead ,so that you could fill in
the blank
Hint====it doesn't say JW wink wink
well anyway, what I notice right off was the term PROPHESYING
now when jw use this term in relationship to other groups trying to predict the future
they say that they are prophesying---- never do they use the made up definition that they give to themseleves when they do the same thing instead (((( You know "We meant well" , "We gave the best understanding on the matter that we had at the time", or my all time favorite "WE B IMPERFECT"))))) Their use of the word prophesing has an entirely diffeent meaning when they are talking about other folks stab at trying to predict something--- I wonder why
well in this article they once again lay claim to being inspired, well SEMI-INSPIRED OK
but they do it in a very cool way--- notice how they do it
1 visual means 2. by means of slick trickery of words I will show you
on page 15 para 3 it states in part
Who is the ultimate source of the rev and what CHANNEL IS USED TO TRANSMIT IT?
The Opening….. To put it simply, the actual source of the rev is jah, who gave it to jesus AND BY MEANS OF AN ANGEL jesus communcated it to John"
then they got a nice artist picture showing jah to jesus, jesus to angel angel to john
now where I'm from that is call inspiration my man
now here is where they make the LEAP
PARA 4
"And just as jesus used his slave john to communicate sustaining spiritual food in the 1st century so today he uses the FDS>>>>"
now of course the question must be asked how did he use john to transmit this message from his father well he INSPIRED JOHN
so once again the Boys in Writing want to put on that mantle of Mouth pc for god in fact they go on to state such
back on page 9 para 3 it states that "JW are really the mouthpc of a symblic messager"
now what does it really mean to be a mouthpc or spokesman
well my wife and I have a little company but it's not big enough to need a spokesman but, if it did----- this gal or guy would make statements about our company that REQUIRED the approaval of either my wife or I
he couldn't go out before the media or issue press releases stating such and such without getting my approval or my wife's
Now if he did so and especially if it turned out to be WRONG info HE WOULD BE FIRED
in effect he would be signing my name to any document that he released on our letterhead
yet the Boys in Writing are always signing god's name to stuff
1914 gen will not die
1925 world will end
can't divorce your hubby if he is into beastilty or HOMO stuff
can't take that job at the hospital instead of the army - U GOT 2GO 2 Jail my man if you want to keep that Elder Strip on your sleeve
so while the article dogs folks for predicting and prophesying the world would end by the yr 2000
as the record shows they too have done the same thing that they condemn other faiths for doing
how sad
