  Preaching the Good News with Rising Gas Prices?

  2. friends

  i fear this could put an end to travelling a territory due to rising prices- where i am located in canada, we are now paying $2.08 per liter .

  now since there is 3.79 litres in one gallon that equates to $7.88 per gallon... .

  how many in a car group will kick in?

  Yes "house to house" is a mistranslation of "in private homes", which is why Paul used it as a contrast to "teaching you publicly". Maybe they'll finally get 'new light' on the topic.

  And the two most important points the GB want the kids to walk away is:

  1: Give us your money

  &

  2: When the GB talks, it's really Jesus talking

  Sickening for sure. Look at this guy in pathetic adoration of Rutherford (minus the cross and crowns of course, and Jesus picture was given a haircut)

  Worship study this week

  by road to nowhere in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since i need to keep up for family's sake i "study"(skim, its not deep).

  worship: pray, study ( wt), go to meetings ( formal, not gathering 2 or 3), preach.

  thrn add helping build halls, donating, and since donations go one way only, give material aid to others.. note construction time isn't for service,( but i may have turned in time for it).

  Yep I feel you, in a similar situation. Just keep in mind that any monthly local excess is "donated" to the WTS, but if your family is aware of donations then I guess there's not much you can do, short of 'redirecting' the funds to a worthier cause.

  how could the "two witnesses" mentioned in revelation chapter 11 possibly be j.f.

  rutherford and his companions who got jailed and then released in 1919?.

  I hate "In these last days" with "these" typically emphasized. It could literally be tacked onto any thought and make it sound meaningful or foreboding.

  “now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our god and the authority of his christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our god.”.
