i wondered about that when i heard garret loesch state that shortly before the tribulation the governing body would be taken up.

.

if this is the case, it seems like garret and the other seven would be there just in time to help out in the killing of billions.. i thought they used to say that some would survive armageddon before they were taken up..

hope i'm not out of line asking this question...just want to know if anyone has had any experience with this.. i just saw an ad in popular mechanics about "mdhearingaid".

it says it uses the same kind of technology that costs thousands more and is less than $200.

it's "high-quality fda-registered, is medical-grade offering sophistication and high performance, and works right out of the box.

Just heard that the WT sent money to help brothers in Russia

2. scandals
clyde and i had lunch with a friend who attended the assembly with his wife.

he told us that he was sure he heard that the wt had sent money to russia to help the brothers financially.

i told him that i heard the opposite....that they are directing witnesses to meet in private homes and set up a donation jar for the sole purpose of sending money to the wt, giving explicit instructions on how to transmit the funds.

$25,000 for one-day assembly in our area
by Bonnie_Clyde in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
they started out with a $3,500 carry-over but by the end of the day they were short $25,000.

the speaker eloquently beseeched the audience to go the atm machines and give their generous contribution or at least their widow's mite.

after the sessions were over, our friend who attended walked from one end of the assembly hall and then to the other end and noticed long lines up to both machines with people who couldn't wait to run up their credit cards.
