Re my then wife's skirts. A sister complained that they were too short. CO's wife then told the other ladies in our congregation that a skirt was only long enough if the lady was to kneel down and the skirt was able to cover all of her legs AND her feet.

I see that the Shadow Home Secretary, Diane Abbott, has resigned. Apparently she wasn't party to that decision.

Most of the world has grown out of the death penalty so I guess there wouldn't be any within-date chemicals left to administer.

If a person is transgender and gets saved what will they go to heaven as?
by Nikorasu95 ini know this is a stupid question because the answer is obvious, but if a person was born a male and gets transgender surgery to turn into female will that person go to heaven as a male or female if they died saved?
i think they will go to heaven with the gender they were born with.

Jackson's rose colored watch only cost $399, don't use it as an argument.
by Bad_Wolf ini looked up that watch and see it for $399.

There's an art to choosing a watch. Rolex and Omegas are regarded as ostentatious by many. The more discerning wearer will probably opt for a Hamilton or if the wearer wants to be really understated he''ll choose an Ebel. I'm semi-ostentatious so I wear a Longines. Good shoes and a good watch says it all IMHO.

2017 Convention Video To Be Shown Regarding The 1975 Failure
by pale.emperor inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go3arnnsfkk&feature=youtu.be.
no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.
instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

Another possibility is that the 1975 debacle might in future teachings be linked to the great apostasy of 1980 in which Ray Franz was disfellowshipped. They'll probably hang all the blame for 1975 on him, especially now that he's not around to deny it.
I read somewhere that the temporary letting up of hostility to disfellowshipped ones published in a 70's Watchtower was only there because Ray had written the article.
