CO visit; going to meeting.
by SG098 inhello everyone!just a little background info, i haven't been to a meeting in over a year.
my wife has asked me to go with her tonight to help watch our son since it's the circuit overseers visit...my wife wants to be able to pay attention and get something out of the meeting since our son is 1yr old he can be a handful some times.. a few things of note about the situation:.
- i'm going to the meeting no matter what.

the 7000 year day thing really pissed me off back in the 60's---i even tried to pin down old Ron Drage ( DO ) for some kind of explanation. why not 7 million ?
it was only when i found this internet apostate world of information 5 years back that i realised the 7000 years idea had been left to quietly go away.

What are the economics of cart witnessing?
by slimboyfat inon another thread shepherdless sketched out the past business model of jws and its demise.
until 1990 they were a straightforward publishing business with the tremendous advantage of free labour in production and free distribution agents.
since then they've been relying on donations for literature to keep the old model going.

Watchtower crackdown on anointed expansion - are they reaching for a solution to the expanding numbers problem?
by slimboyfat inif this has been discussed i missed it.
i think the january study watchtower is a concerted attempt to reduce the numbers claiming to be anointed.
but i love the sneaky way they go about it this time.

i get easily confused with all this annointed garbage--so can anyone clarify this:-
the " bride" of christ is in reality mostly men from the 12 tribes of israel--right ?
add this to there being no mention of jesus having a wife--in the bible---does this suggest that he is a homosexual ?

for $1,199 i can take a tour from september 17-25. why are they printing so much bible literature if the witnesses are supposed to be using tablets?.

Sorry to be a noob.... what's COBE?

Co-ordinator of the Body of Elders. whatever that means. probably what us old timers knew as the congregation servant.

Pictures in the Watchtower
by Sour Grapes inafter sitting through last sunday's watchtower i got so sick of seeing the bobbing/nodding heads when talking about the pictures.
they act like god himself took the picture.
there must have been 10 comments about the group in service and the one brother was looking at his phone with a smile, which is a dead give away that he was reading something interesting.. what got me was how the older brother in the posed picture had a bible in his hand had a stern look on his face looking at the young brother.
