Brother Baltasar Pala [sp:PERLA] who is on loan from the U.S. Branch to the Bethel in Mexico spoke next. Six Central American branch offices have now been merged into the Branch office in Mexico.
I worked with this sucker...his picture is on the first page of the Ministry School Book (the red one where the elder suckers mark on what you have to work on your next assignment)
"Lions kill without mercy. A male lion taking over a pride of females will often kill their cubs so that all cubs they produce are his. Shows no mercy on lion cubs or the animals he kills to eat."
--- Hmm, don't they remember who they believe created that lion? Jehovah! It was he who programmed that lion with the instinct to kill without mercy. The more the speaker shows how bad the lion is, the more it reflects badly on this creator god, yet they cannot see it, because of course their god is love...yeah right.
Interesting notes!!
Wow, how about that 20,000 Bethelites around the world, after all those closings of Bethel Branches and downsizing! Hmmm, 2010 Annual Service Report showed there were 20,062 Bethelites worldwide. ???
Wow, 252 missionaries were affected by this merger. A Special desk was set up just for the missionaries and they have been given e-mail access to this Desk for any needs,, after all that dedication, they were at least given an email address. Nice.~~~~~
Following the tsunami disaster in Japan some 1,700 Japanese brothers and sisters volunteered to help those Witnesses affected by the disaster. Notice,,help for JWs is all. Isn't that precious?!
If they think the french taxes are staggering, they should look at my income tax.. I guess paying caesar is only for other people.
| ‘Our unity has been demonstrated in having Black district overseers over predominantly white areas and Brothers who come from gypsy background serving as district overseers in Europe.’ | |
Iam surprised, they are metioning black people or african americans. People who are black identify themselves as African American in difference to Civil Rights Act of 1964. Is this a recent action or its been just like so over the years?
all these wonderful facts and figures they brandish about constantly may be all very well in Tin Pot 4th World Nations of Africa and the poorer nations of Central and South America but there are still billions of people alive today who have never heard the name of JW's let alone what the hell the Kingdom of God is in which they say they are the only ones being commissioned with to dispense, India is seeing a big rise in Hindu fundamentalism and Islam which is causing huge grief for the Christian communities there, over a billion people and rising, China seems to be pretty much how China has always been but also has a large Muslim population that is growing, and all the Islamic nations from the Middle East through to India/Pakistan and Bangladesh to the Far East nations of Malaysia/Singapore and Indonesia have tiny pockets if any JW's there, they never speak about the growth in these nations of their work, their whole boasting about their world wide work impresses me less and less.
What if a comet struck that meeting at that time........"time and unforseen UUUUUURRRRRRRGGGGGH!
