November Study WT "Train You Child to Love Going Door 2 Door"

by JW_Rogue in

been catching up on some jw reading and found a gem in the november study wt in the first article, paragraph #11:.

yet, you might look beyond the obvious and ask yourself, does my child enjoy the ministry or only the breaks?

if you discern that the ministry could be more interesting or more rewarding for your children, set goals with them.

Just imagine if field service was optional & JW's are not made to feel guilty for not joining. How many would actually go out to preach???

How Deep was your search in Bible or Religions ?

by Kick50r in

how far / deep was your research on the origins of the bible or religions or most importantly the concepts (heaven -gods - immortality-etc)today many millions of people believe as the truth?.

why did these concepts existed ?.

why so many people today still believe in these concepts ?.

Divergent

I'm doing nothing at the moment with regards to religion

I'm leaving it to God to prove his existence to me RATHER than trying to prove his existence myself based on cognitive bias

Can somebody explain the songs and songbook obsession?

by careful in

i've been out a while and have only put in a rare appearance at a memorial or brief visit at a convention/assembly to keep people off my back, so i haven't kept up on the songbook.

but one thing i've noticed that the org.

has been doing that they never did when i was in is all these "supplemental songs" that keep appearing.

When the new song book was released, the reason given for the drastic reduction of the number of songs (from 200+ to 100+) was that it would be easier for all to familiarise themselves with the songs now that the songs have been reduced. So what the heck are they doing increasing the number of songs again???

As I said earlier, the owner is known to the airport authorities all along. There is no way that they would have no clue at all as to who the owner is!

'Missing’ owner of three Boeing 747s comes forward

PETALING JAYA: The "missing" owner of the three aircraft parked at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) has come forward, claiming that the company has been in contact with Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) on a "consistent basis".
Swift Air Cargo chief executive officer Captain Blue Peterson toldThe Star Friday that the three Boeing 747s that were featured in newspaper advertisements on Dec 7 belonged to the company.
He said Swift has been the owner of the three aircraft since June 8 this year.
"MAHB knows this for we have been in many meetings with them about the aircraft.
"MAHB for some unfathomable reason, refuses to acknowledge Swift as the owners of the aircraft, even though we have all of the supporting documents, including the Bill of Sale for the three aircraft," he claimed.
He said the sale of the aircraft to Swift Air Cargo was witnessed by solicitor Syed Amir Ibrahim of Syed Ibrahim & Co, when the documents were signed in Kuala Lumpur.
When contacted, Syed Amir confirmed that the sale of the aircraft to Swift took place.
Captain Peterson also claimed that he had a Statutory Declaration from the previous owner, notarised in Hong Kong and with the Malaysian Consulate stamping it.
"All the many various supporting documents, clearly state that Swift is the owner of all three B747s," he said.
He added that the first meeting with MAHB was on June 17 with their senior general manager of operations services.
Multiple meetings followed, and Captain Peterson said that each request for documentation was supplied as requested.
He said the last meeting with MAHB was on Oct 12, with both the chief operating officer and the general manager present, adding that he last heard from MAHB on Nov 3.
"Since then, Swift and MAHB have been communicating with letters and we were waiting for yet another meeting to present more documentation and information as requested by MAHB, when instead MAHB announced to the world that the owner of the three B747s was missing.
"Based on this evidence, Swift is unable to fathom the reason for MAHB’s declaration that it has taken ‘exhaustive steps’ without being able to find a ‘contact person’ when all along, Swift was fulfilling its obligations," said Captain Peterson.
MAHB had published newspaper advertisements to serve as notice to the owners of three aircraft, saying that the planes may be sold or disposed of if not collected within 14 days.
Swift Air Cargo is currently called Splunk n’ Dash Sdn Bhd until the change of name is approved by the Malaysian Department of Civil Aviation and the Companies Commission of Malaysia.
Attempts to reach MAHB have so far been unsuccessful.

Re: JWdaughter -

Unknown as in unknown to the public, but known by the airport authorities. The key word is untraceable, as stated in the notice below. Whenever a parked aircraft is sold, the owners would notify the airport authority that the aircraft has been sold & to who so as not to incurr any subsequent charges. The airport authority does not mind however long the aircrafts are parked, as long as the charges are paid. The problem here is that they are not. If the owner comes forward & pays the outstanding charges & pays additional charges to park the planes there for another year, it would not be a problem at all!
