  when they announced the meetings for aspiring bethelites and missionaries, they've lowered the ages of admittance.. also, to become a bethelite the person doesn't need to be a pioneer any longer.

  any publisher in good standing, male or female, was encourage to attend such recruiting meeting.. i guess the need is greater now.. dy

  Yes, I remember they repeated it twice for emphasis: "Baptized publisher in good standing, male or female, married or single, ages 18 and up".

  Wow! The need sure must be great.

  made light of the whole ordeal.. turned it into a 4-day mini-vacation; 4 days away from kitchen and house chores!

  we all got to stay in a very plush hotel in the theme parks area of orlando, fl.

  walked around the some main attractions during the evenings.. took a lot of notes, but just in order to stay awake, not that anything said is new stuff really.

  6500 + was the most attendance.

  30 + baptized; didn't pay attention for the ages and other details.

  Didn't pay much attention at all in general to the assembly info. Almost fell asleep during the drama.

  Be well y'all!!!

  Exactly, Undercover.

  The WBTS worked out a sweet deal with this resort hotel and it was all sooooo nice!!!

  For anyone to stay at this resort-type hotel at regular price would be like in the $180+ per night, but it all came out to around $44 per night for 3 nights.

  But, I tell you all... the service, the resort-type surroundings, those paradise like pools, the food!!! It was all sooo great!!!

  Hey, that's the way the faith goes.

  JWs have hospitals and doctors that will help them get the best blood-less treatments available to mankind. However, if it comes to blood or death, many will choose death rather than betray their faith.

  Extremely seldom cases comes to that point, though. A concious, faithful JW takes the best care of him/herself possible and seeks the best medical treament in order to avoid reaching such point.

  In the majority of cases, JWs or otherwise, even with the blood having been applied the person would've died anyway.

  after growing up a jw all my life, i have no clue why people would want to be part of any religion.. i don't get the mormon stuff.

  i don't understand the catholic faith.

  i really don't understand the muslim beliefs and all their levels and the suicide bombers.

  To answer the subject question, I believe God created humans with the need to worship something/someone. This is why there's some type of religion in all human societies.

  Do you think the Watchtower makes up experiences by people ???

  in the may 1, 1988 watchtower, on page 22, a witness, matsue ishii, recalls her first encounter with the bible students in 1928: at the back of our house in tojo-cho, osaka, there was a house with a sign: "osaka branch of the international bible students association.

  " assuming it to be a christian group, i visited the house.

  "do you believe in the second advent of the lord?

  They alter people's experiences to make them more likeable. They 'air brush' it, so to speak.

  Or they print stuff like "A renouned doctor/lawyer/specialist says....", and such renouned doctor or lawyer or whomever is a person that is a JW.

  They're a bit deceitful and misleading in this regard.

  seeing as i'm dowloading songs so i can blast them at the neighbour kids, i was thinking, what songs stand the test of time?

  what songs do you listen to over and over again and never get tired of.

  here's my list.. if you tolerate this - manic street preachers.

  Minimus,

  At this present time, I'm so soo sooo very happy about my life: I have an adorable husband that adores me right back, good health, financial ease, a great job with wonderful co-workers, good relations with all my relatives, live in a place many already call 'paradise on earth'. What else could I possibly ask for?!

  I only wish many more would have it at the very least as good as I have it right now. That would make me an even happier person.

  Of course, as the world turns conditions change. I only hope to have it as good for as long as possible.

  DY
