in the october 15 watchtower (the one dmouse used the cover of for his competition...) there is an article on how to make decisions.
this picture was part of it:.
note the image on the right.
It is easier to take photos and manipulate them instead of having an artist paint it again. Maybe they can't find any artists anymore?
btw. Did you notice the dress-code for gardening? At least you don't have to wear a tie, altough i knew a brother who did it
coming from a large family and professionals in their field, i've come to wear many hats.
the great majority of my family are and were not jw's, this served as a schooling for me.
let me include the people in my personal life, how about you?.
Ooops ... isn't this board intended for people from all over the world? Do you mean i have to learn all the slang?
welcome to the board!
geology was one of my faves in college and i couldn't help myself!
welcome to jwd!
If your are familiar with Texas, then stop by the next time you vist your familiy! Germany is a small country - only a few hours drive from north to south (which doesn't mean i live THAT far away)

One Hat at a time.
But seriously - it is uncommon in this part of the world, even women seldom wear a hat.

worldwide service report from bethel:.
> october 29, 2003.
> peak publishers - 6,429,351 (2% increase).
The US would have no increase at all but for the increase in the Spanish-speaking congregations (per the last 2 COs).
The same is true with germany - highest increase with the foreign language. You just should see all the effort spend on those people.

i haven't got time to go through the 1,000,000 hits you get when you punch in jehovah on the google search.. so are there other jw sites or xjw sites you like and find helpful ???.
what are they and where are they ???.
IMHO you can't give a good answer on this. What one feels to be helpful another might find boring because he knows all that. I wasn't interested in any "apostate" sayings until the right one came to my attention (607bc vs 587bc) but i'm sure many won't give this much time.
So it depends - what are your interests? Try to find sites personally for you!

sorry, was the wrong login that i changed because
Maybe one of the "hook" to the organization was being amongst all the people going the same way. To be sure this is not hindering me i first changed my nickname from "allinclusive" as this is a reminder to those "all inclusive" trips to international conventions - which i enjoyed very much.
So i choose "mineralogist", even if i'm not one. (But we all liked to collect stones sometimes, right?)
what was the first computer you ever owned?
for me it was the trs-80 model 1. i bought it for $10 at a second hand store when i was 10 years old.
took me forever to find info on the thing, an manual, and a patchcord to hook up a cassette deck.
Commodore C64 - i even wrote some parts on it for my study at the university.
After that Commodore 128 and than for a long time ... no computer at all. Now i own a modern Laptop.
hey dont get me wrong about this, but.... i've been disfellowshiped for 5 years now, (yippee!!!).
i've been enjoying my freedom to the max, believe me, plus i want nothing to do with the borg ever.
but i did the craziest thing today.. while at work, my buddies and i were just chatting away about life and stuff, as bored guys usually do.
Not me ... i'm just going out. But i think it is ok to adjust their thinkings to the real story.
btw. don't forget to count the time and prepare for the RV
