in the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).
house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.
Something else that was refreshing about district 9 was that it didnt have a "hero" as such. The main character was deeply flawed and somewhat unlikeable but in the end you wind up feeling sympathy and some connection to him in the end.....
Several have mentioned Sons of Anarchy... I absolutely loved that show but im not sure it would be simons cup of tea. It plays to americans gun facination and is pretty brutal in its violance but man its a heck of a ride
the new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).
before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.
first, the reason i think it should be shown:.
Lol the ultimate ex-jw insult:
"your acting like the GB!"
the 2014 grand totals page has been released onto facebook.. .
.
i have started updating the statistics and graphs at jwfacts.com/watchtower/statistics.php, and will release highlights as i work through it during the rest of the day..
feb kingdom ministry 2015, irate householders, "we don't apologize for our work", "did they hear rumors about jws"?
why so angry?
blood or disfellowshipping?.
I like your synopsis terry. It describes very well the process and the reasons.
i find it noteworthy they choose those two particular examples of householder objecrions to our beliefs. I dont ever recall anybody using them on me at a door in my 25+ years as a wt salesmen. I heard plenty of others, but not those specifically, at least not that i recall or made an impression on me. It leads me to wonder if they are, as terry described, inocculating witnesses in advance from things they see are causing many to doubt and/or leave the org. I also like millie observation that those writing this clearly arnt at door offen, if ever.
edited to add: it also makes me sigh inside to see them move a step back towards militant witnessisium with the 'we don't apologize for our work crap'.
churches: jesus switched bodies for you and has risen!.
jw org: jesus has been ruling for 100 years!.
both equally ridiculous!~.
wt seems to be helpless in really dealing with the failed prophecies, pending dates, overlapping groups--.. what if they declare victory, blame jehovah, in that he allowed the nations to come to their senses and not further escalate the use of weaponry, "destroying [life on] the earth"?
in a second fulfillment of .
the "repentant ninevites, disappointed jonah" bible story?

On the retention ropic, its a fair question to ask, insidekh, but the answer is clear:
baptisum isnt the same as retention ;)
just as a small sample, 3 children in my family. All three were dunked. Only i am still considered active.
ldc semininar @ patterson nov 15-18, 2014 .
entire ldc dept included remote workers/design/legal/real estate/purchasing.
oversight.
first thing i noticed, a would-be elder with a suitcase-sized 'service' bag.
pretender.
but i thought:.
No there was a letter to the BOE a few years ago advising the same provisions be made. In the washington DC area they rarely are. You get a few bucks on ocassion but not often enough....
as for it constituting a paid clergy...no, not in my view. 10 bucks and cheap lunch (which never happens) is in no way fair or just compensation for a part time job. Glad i quit ;)
