  110 x 7 = 770 hours per month on average

  I think the 20,000 figure has an extra '0' in it

  Not the wackiest, but I also found the belief that there would be no marriage in paradise to be pretty absurd...

  Skinny dipping in the new order?

  the jw's are quick to tell you that when jehovah has finished kicking the ass of those who do not acknowledge the teachings of the watchtowers governing body in new york state, that those who survive will live forever in a restored paradise on earth.

  the same goes for those who are resurrected during the 1000 year reign of jesus and survive satan being let loose "for a little while" at the end.. they are also quick to tell you that everything will be just as it was for adam and eve before the latter decided she needed a fruit fix and then got her hubby high on it as well.. and when you view the illustrations in their publications showing what they view this paradise to be, it shows a world of lush color.

  the deep greens of all the trees and grass, the clean blue skies, puffy white clouds and tables covered in a plethora of fresh fruits and vegetables representing just about every major color.

  This question was raised by a friend of mine before. The reply was: "It is not for us to speculate"

  Millie, perhaps that was their old understanding? Cos their current understanding is "It is not for us to judge who is saved & who is not"

  New method of appointing Regular Pioneers!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a new arrangement for appointing regular pioneers has been announced.. in the past, a person would have to fill in a form from the society, this would have to be approved by the local elders, then this would be sent to the branch for final approval and appointment.. now it is just the local elders that approve it.

  it doesn't need the branch approval any more.. they are selling it as a way to "speed up the process in order to be more effective in the ministry during these urgent times blah blah".
