Could they walk any slower on the ministry(tm)?
by punkofnice ini was out in my car this saturday as i went to visit my friend.. i saw the jws scattered about mooching down the streets.. i arrived home in a different area to where my friend lives.
as i opened my door there was an invitation to the mock the christ ritual.
a group of jws mooched past my house, looked at me rather lethargically and carried on mooching along.. considering they don't know i'm an 'apostate(tm)', they certainly were in no hurry to beg me to come to their mock the christ charade considering that if i don't go jar-hoover will lovingly murder me soon (subject to overlapping(tm) ).. i know we had 'the pioneer walk(tm)' back in the day but puh-leeeeeeeze!

I know we had 'the pioneer walk(tm)' back in the day but puh-leeeeeeeze! These JWs were being outrun by a slug covered in salt.
LOL. It is distinctive, isn't it? The more so as an 'outsider' looking in.
Householders who come to the door interrupt the pleasant chit-chat and catching up the brothers and sisters are doing. The longer between doors the better.

Update on Alan Feuerbacher's heart attack that he had last Sunday
by AndersonsInfo inalan'swife, julie, talked to the cardiologist this morning.
the news about alan's heart is good.
he described the heart attack as mild and said that although there is damage to the lower portion of his heart, the pumping action probably won't be affected much.

Some background on this lady:

Her sight has been worsening since her 20s so it was all the more wonderful that she could be given a sense of hearing.

GB when they die, there's a paradox
by pixel inso, i was thinking about pierce's dead.
so, supposely he is in heaven, right?
and down here on earth, they are going to give a talk about him, maybe with his body present or his body already buried, but the question is, if his body is still here on earth, what went to heaven?

the question is, if his body is still here on earth, what went to heaven? Is not that what other religions call soul??
Bingo!
They believe (without realizing it LOL) a kind of substance dualism for the 'anointed' who die from 1918; monism for everyone else. Two kinds of human with two different natures. Very Gnostic.

Memorial 2014: Wrong date?
by AnnOMaly inthis was meant to have nice inserted pictures and tidy hyperlinks but the forum's being glitchy today.
so unfortunately it's going to be a messy post where you're going to have to exercise your tapping fingers and click on the links to the pics to see what i'm referring to.
sorry about that.. in the article recently studied "do this in remembrance of me" (w13 12/15), there is a box on p. 23 giving the date of this year's memorial and how that date is arrived at.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2013926.

JWs may have arrived at the same date in the Gregorian calendar but they think it corresponds to Nisan 14, whereas the Jews think it corresponds to Nisan 15. Both think it corresponds to the date of the Passover.
As far as Jewish practice goes, JWs are associating Passover with the wrong date (the 14th rather than 15th) and they have miscalculated the sighting of the new crescent to start the month (should be March 31 rather than April 1). So it's not really an agreement in calculations but a coincidence that JWs and Jews have arrived at the same Gregorian date this year.

Thanks for posting Leo's comments, Phizzy :-)
Surely, Jesus as the ultimate sacrificial Lamb would be killed when other lambs were being slaughtered, otherwise the biblical parallel doesn't fit so well. Jesus would be sitting down to a Passover meal before "Christ our Passover lamb" (1 Cor. 5:7 RNWT) was slaughtered. This would suggest that the final meal Jesus shared with all the apostles was a last supper rather than a Passover.

The forum is oldish and at times temperamental. The profile is basic. I haven't been able to change mine for years. Simon the admin is working on a new site. The 10 postings per day restriction is temporary.
And welcome
