I'm going to reset some of the changes made earlier to your Rutherford article. I don't want to start an edit war. We're just trying to make his entry look like the other biographic entries. If you want to discuss this use my talk page or send an e-mail....Lou I 05:07 19 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Hey Jpb1968: You said "We aren't perfect and we don't have to pretend to be". My recollection of my many years as a JW are very different from that. We were admonished that 'God's visible organization is the greatest organization on earth, because it alone is God's channel of communication, used by Him to deliver His mesage to mankind.'

Statements like that are elitist, and state that what the Watchtower Society publishes are God's words, not man's. What's that? Don't beleive that JWs/Watchtower ever said things like that? Perhaps I can refresh your memory: http://quotes.jehovahswitnesses.com/. Note especially sections on "God's Channel" and "God's Organisation" Don't be afraid, it's not an "apostate" site; it only contains Watchtower quotes.

Cheers, Sincerely, ~Quotes.

I don't really see any contradiction between what you say and what he says above. What makes you think God can't have an organization consisting of imperfect people? Of course, Jehovah's Witnesses claim to be God's organization. You take exception to this, calling it elitism? Do you feel that your opinion is superior? If not, then why are you taking exception? If so, aren't you elitist?

I've noticed that there seems to be a question about the proper citing of the text of Regional Building Committee see the talk page there. Perhaps it can be quoted from the Watchtower quote site and they will allow it, if so, please provide the proper documentation on the talk page. It would be better to be rewritten so that we can claim it under the GFDL rather than under fair use (that is what I think it is now). If you don't do something about it, I think someone will list it on VfD soon. Alex756 03:25, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Hello jpb, Glad to meet you. I have enjoyed dabbling with wikipedia for a while now (when I have the time). It is nice to see someone who is well-centered in our faith. george m

I can't keep up with this person who keeps chopping up the artcle and doing things to the others. Want to check it out? Thanks.

Thanks for your help on the NWT article
Thanks for your edits on the New World Translation article. As for the translators' names, I got the names from this article by Michael Marlowe. As you can tell, Marlowe didn't provide a good src for the names. As for the Palm NWT link, thanks for pointing out it's dubious nature. -iHoshie 01:22, Mar 31, 2004 (UTC)

PS: The JW's have always been a bit interesting to me.

I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, serving as an elder on the west coast. I cannot believe how accurately you have portrayed the organization within this unique forum! How is it that apostates have not been able to change these articles? This is a facinating encyclopedia!

I look forward to your reply as you have the opportunity.
