Yeah, well that just goes to show you how genuine their "concern" is, doesn't it...
You see how the conversation progressed from seemingly genuine interest about your welfare....to "she was never one of us". How sad.

a few days ago, mom tells me she's visiting a new kh.
according to her account, all the pioneer sisters are asking about "me" (we don't remember the name, but your daughter that used to come to meetings.
) ps #1 says "we're missing you, tell her we say hi.

British Columbia bud has a general reputation of being second to none worldwide. As soon as our government decriminalizes the possession of weed, how 'bout coming up here and trying a few samples for yourself...
I have a long-time buddy who lives in Colorado and every time he's come up here he can't believe how good our shit is
We got good beer too(in deference to the Aussies and the Brits, they've got darn fine suds too)
Happy belated New Year to you!

a strange thought came to mind when conversing with a fellow poster here on the phone the other night.
the conversation was about enviroment, culture, and society....... and it's effects on human behavior, desire, and thinking.. here is the scenario....................after jehovah put adam in the garden and just before he made eve........lets say he did it this way.
god makes adam......then after adam gets a bit lonely and horney........god brings to him a male and a female he also made from the dust.
Hi Stacy,
: " Then all Adam could do is polish his cucumber."
Rather rapidly, I'd imagine

the last little while there have been many talks on sex at the sunday meetings.
it is sickening!
they are very explicit in nature.. don't they realize that there are many children in the audience that are not really ready to hear this particular information?.
:We knew they were just jealous for not having a woman to enjoy.
From what I've heard the bros at Headquarters some of them "enjoyed" their own company

2004 yb.page 23.. during the 2003 service year,2,340 kingdom halls were completed around the world.this represents an average of 195 halls per month,or just over 6 per day!since november 1999 when the construction program in lands with limited resources began,7,730 kingdom halls have been built.in many areas,once a hall is finished,meeting attendance soars and halls are soon filled to capacity.. my comment:this is nothing new.from the time of the dedication till the newness wears off this is usually the trend.halls filled to capacity does not indicate new converts.proof of this is when the memorial season comes around the halls usually are filled and then the very next meeting they are not filled to capacity.so,for one night meeting attendance soars then declines just as swiftly the next.. i am told that my hall which usually had a least 100 in attendance now has about 35 on school nights and 60 on sunday.what about your hall does it soar and is it filled to capacity?.

You're absolutely right, metatron.
The way things operate in the WT(re painting a rosy picture for the flock) resembles a large business entity of one sort or another when it cooks it's books to maintain investor confidence. Headquarters do not want dubs(stockholders) leaving (unloading stock). In the case of the WTS, their ultimate realization is when the market is LOW so's the CASHFLOW...

blueblades posted the 2003 service year report.
the watchtower society makes it appear that they grew 2.2% (which is lower than some of their earlier percentages) ... but the way they present the data, does not reveal the truth.
[note: the chart below is the smallest i could get it ... sorry for the inconvenience.
Good stuff, Amazing
Large companies (insert WT corp.) often cook their books to boost or maintain their perceived value to stockholders (insert J-dubs) and potential investors (insert householder). Same shit, different pile.

do think that religious organizations like the wts and any other that exhibit cultish characteristics should be exempt under current tax law?
given that most citizens in democratic nations support these exemptions due to fact that most mainstream denominations support their local communities through charitable activities, i find it reasonable that groups who do not support anyone outside their organization should not be exempt.. any thoughts?.
