Oh yes, I'm sure that the wife is THRILLED to have her husband's free evening hijacked by needy sister whacko again.

How does the guy propose a marriage if they havent had a relationship already? Thats BS!?

MrMonroe

Love the picture on Page 20, Witnesses counting time by going "tent to tent" exploiting desperate, frightened and homeless earthquake victims in Haiti.

As if those poor souls haven't suffered enough, these vultures holding Bibles arrive to tell them they ain't seen nothin' yet. Get baptised as a Jehovah's Witness or next time God will really get you.

Here's an uplifting article on page 26, "Following Christ, the Perfect Leader."

Now in what ways shall we follow Christ:

1. By forgiving those who trespass against us?

2. By showing love and consideration to those around us, even those who live a lifestyle different to ours?

3. By condeming religious leaders who impose their will on gullible followers?

Nope: "In the first century, the apostles set a fine example of submitting to Christ’s leadership."

"Our recognizing Christ’s leadership involves submission to his “brothers.” We also demonstrate our submission to
Christ’s “brothers” by cooperating with the appointed overseers in the Christian congregation. By all means, let us obey our Leader and cooperate with those he is using today."

Maybe I'm dumb, but when I read the Bible I see all sorts of lessons Christ taught. I just don't seeChrist barking "Submit! Submit!"

Daisies & a ring. I wish the first wife stuck up her hand like that. Would have saved me 34 yrs. of misery. I could have robbed a bank & a liquor store & been out of prison already... with the money & liquor.

'scriptural council' has to come from a 1989 Watchtower placed OVER a Bible to make sure the Bible is kept in its rightful place.

Therevealer, Villabolo that 's exactly what I thought when I first saw the picture!

How important is it for us to follow Jesus’ footsteps?

Imagine you were in a group that had to cross a minefield and only one of your number

knew how to make it through safely. Would you not follow his steps closely, perhaps

even stepping in his tracks? Similarly, our future security depends upon patterning

our life after Jesus’ example. Doing so includes listening to and obeying him and cooperating

with those who represent him.

Our recognizing Christ’s leadership involves submission to his “brothers.”

We do well to examine how we respond

to timely Scriptural counsel presented in

our Bible-based publications. By studying

the Scriptures and attending congregation

meetings, we are reminded of the sayings of

Christ. (2 Pet. 3:1, 2) We show our heartfelt

appreciation for this supply of spiritual food

by regularly partaking of it. What, though,

should be our reaction if certain counsel is

repeated occasionally? For example, God’s

Word counsels Christians to marry “only in

the Lord.” (1 Cor. 7:39)

The Watchtower

. Christ’s brothers surely

Paying attention to these reminders is one way to

show that we are following our perfect Leader,

Jesus Christ.

Yes, Jesus’ leadership is progressive,

not stagnant. Another way to cooperate

with Christ’s “brothers” is to have a

positive attitude toward any refinements

in our understanding of Scriptural truths

as published by “the faithful and discreet

slave.”—Matt. 24:45.

We also demonstrate our submission to

Christ’s “brothers” by cooperating with the

appointed overseers in the Christian congregation.

For example, an elder may give us encouragement

related to the importance of having a regular

Family Worship evening or may offer

suggestions concerning some aspect of our

field ministry. A traveling overseer may give

us some helpful Scriptural counsel on a particular

aspect of Christian living. Our willingly

applying such counsel shows that we

follow Jesus as our Leader.

By all means, let

us obey our Leader and cooperate with

those he is using today.

" The stupidity continues though doesn't it. How would a witness female/girl/women get to the point where an inappropriate worldly man would be proposing to her. Did she just have this dude in the office decide she might consent to a ring and become his bride? "

Hey therevealer,

that just goes to show how out of touch the Brooklyn Bozo's are

" Maybe he was just showing her the ring he got his girlfriend and she had wild dreams of grandeur thinking it was for her? "

No Mr. Freeze,

the Brooklyn Bozo's were showin' it as a proposal, that's why they mentioned not becomin' unevenly yoked

One more comment on the stupid ring picture:

The size of that rock is not random. From what I see, this is a solid 2 1/2 to 3 carat princess, which is no less than 10 Grand..

And the faithful sister turns it down! And she goes on to marry a broke abusive janitor....

No wonder these stupid pictures can appeal to prescoolers, at best...
