    alexandre: i think that a new governing body member will be announced!

    Yes, and it'll be a woman!

    Nah, I'm just messing with ya'

    But I guarantee the next new GB member will be somebody that doesn't have any balls.

    .....and more from "freeyourthoughts":

    • Armageddon is near. Addressing old ones. Even tho getting old 'do not get tired and give out'.
    • Addressing Bethelites. Read bible. Read your magazines and publications. Keep praying. Keep going to meetings even if you are tired. (There must be a slacker problem.)
    • Interesting comment from Herd, "at bethel you are at the top of the ladder of Jehovah's work".
    • Bethelites need to be on time to their assignments at 8am and stay until 5pm. (Why are we hearing this?) "Late arrivals are rude arrivals" (Definitely a slacker problem)
    • Yay fat wife jokes
    • Give to the organization financially, physically and prayerfully.
    • Bro Schaffer Governing Body helper giving talk Jehovah is taking action.
    • 200 Regional Translation Offices RTOs are being built.
    • Bro Crast? Talk about Coping

    oh yeah...Armageddon is near. But keep giving, giving, giving to the BORG...give 'til you drop.

    WHATEVER!
