  Am I a judgmental bastard or just one of the last sane persons on this planet?

  so, i happened to see a young lady.

  she's about 13 or 14, can't be more than 16 years old.

  fresh faced, rosy cheeks, and a little pudgy.

  longhairgal-A young person with firm, taut skin cannot imagine the sagging skin of older age

  I know that's right. I got a tat on my nice and firm a$$ when I was in my late 20's and I can tell you I barely recognized it when I saw it last (several several years later). ROTLMAO

  The earth's gravitational pull has some mean effects. LOL

  On another note, I know people who missed out on some pretty decent jobs because of some misjudgemented tats and piercing. It seems to be a standard that seperates the masses.

  It's always best to use extreme good judgement when choosing the places for piercings and tats.

  sir82- The number of English-language publishers & congregations continues to shrink, offset by growth in Spanish-language congregations.

  I thought that might be the case, but the spanish district assemblies are cut down by nearly half as well.

  Before I left you could clearly see that attendance was declining and lots of publishers left. The first night the CO was to speak, the hall was bare. Attendance picked up as some Elders called missing ones I guess.

  New groups of witnesses moving in from other territories.

  New faces that aren't witnesses are very rare. Very rare.

  Attendance at the district assemblies was way down. We also noticed the number of Assemblies this year are down by almost half. The District Assemblies used to run from May - Sept. here for the English. This year they start in June and end in mid July.

  The number of reserved baptism seats were a little less than half full at the last district assembly. It was about 2-3 empty rows.

  Rooms are still available at the most sought after hotel. That is practically unheard of.

  But they keep saying the organization is growing.

  Why Did the Governing Body Change Their Interpretation Of Matthew 24:45-47?

  by Cameron_Don in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some have wondered if "captives of a concept" had anything to do with why the governing body changed their interpretation of the most important scripture in their theology at their annual meeting on october 6, 2012.. this is because the book places great emphasis on the societys interpretation of matthew 24:45-47 and then holds them to it while examining the organizations history to make sure that went on in its history fits their interpretation.

  this comparison is essential to the societys claim to being gods organization.. their previous interpretation came from their former most imminent bible scholar president frederick franzs in his "gods kingdom of a thousand years has approached.

  " their history comes from their "jehovahs witnesses proclaimers of gods kingdom.".

  If you are a witness you are totally in defiance for being on this site.

  If you are studying and progressing towards baptism you are practicing disobedience and should strongly reconsider.

  If you just came here to defend the WTBT$ because of your beliefs you are definetely on the wrong site.

  It is so sad that so many would come here and make blanket statements to incite an argument and stir up painful memories in people who are in most ways still mourning the loss of a life they once believed (as you do) they could have.

  In your attempts to defend you are still showing a lack of love and mercy for your fellow human beings. CUT IT OUT!

  The fact that you keep going back and forth trying to defend the lies told just shows your head is swimming and reasoning on the undeniable actual truths because most likely 2+2 keeps coming up three or 5 when you know for a certain it is 4. Be careful that you are not led astray and (wait for it)......become one of us who know the real TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUTH O disobedient one.

  Remember bad association spoils useful habits.

  i have plenty of tips on my older site on starting ministries or outreaches.

  though today they are now generally sites for public assistance, not personal blogs or opinion or doctrinal sites.

  free minds has covered doctrines, news, opinions, and more for 32 years (since 1996 online).
