Books for Jehovah's Witnesses come in sets of three. Once you get half way through the first one you can immediately jump to half way through the third one. It will make complete sense. The second book is not necessary to read, in fact it is to be avoided, as it will only add confusion to the final story. It may be used as a paper weight or to balance a table leg, however when not being read they should all be placed together and in order on a book shelf.

These sets are otherwise known as 'Overlapping Trilogies'.

Advice on how to choose a book

by slimboyfat in

i love books; i always have.

they are my life and my livelihood.

and many jehovah's witnesses, when they leave the religion, they think to themselves, "i'd like to read a book".

Esse quam videri

Books heavy enough to hold a door open or sturdy enough to hold open a window or throw at a neighbors cat.

greetings, fellow posters:.

i bought a nearly new 7-speed bicycle at a yard sale for $30 last weekend and took it out this morning on our paved local bicycle/walking trail.

the last time i rode was in my early- to mid- twenties when i used a bicycle to get to and from the kh for my pioneer service.

Sir Mikes Bike

There once was a man named Mike,
who had an incredible bike.
He rode on it's wheels,
to make all his deals,
and would never be seen on a hike.

But one day, poor Mikes bike was broken,
and couldn't get very far.
This made him quite sad,
more than a tad,
so poor Mike just went to the bar.

He sipped on his pint and did ponder,
on how he could make a repair.
So he got on a bus,
without any fuss,
and paid the good driver his fare.

He got off at the nearest Halfords,
and found a new bicycle chain.
He walked out the shop,
preceded to stop,
the weather had started to rain.

Soaking and sorry to look at,
he stood there in total dismay.
He walked down the street,
on his aching feet,
he was having a terrible day.

When a carriage pulled up next to him,
amazed by who was inside.
It was the Queen,
if you know who I mean,
and she offered poor Mike a ride.

He took up her generous offer,
walking would take him a while.
They had lots to say,
he showed them the way,
and arrived home in comfort and style.

They all went inside for a cuppa,
and had lots of biscuits as well.
He told his new friend,
of the bike he must mend,
a sad story that he did tell.

She sent out her servant to fix it,
a very good job he did too.
Mike was so pleased,
his feet would be eased,
it was shiny and brand spanking new.

He got on his knees and he thanked her,
for repairing his beloved bike.
She got out her sword,
and knighted our lord,
so now we all call him Sir Mike.

George Benson & Sheila Hutchinson on JW Broadcasting

by neat blue dog in

i am thoroughly surprised nobody has brought this up yet, but two of the original songs released last year, "i give you my best" & "jehovah welcomes you home" were performed by george benson, and the first one was a duet with singer sheila hutchinson, the same one who did duets with him over 10 years ago for the cancelled album mentioned in our kingdom ministry.

compare this:.

I don't get it. The kid is dropped off at some kind of landscaping company, taught how to trim hedges, and the mother is crying tears of joy?

Very strange.

What would happen if...

by StarTrekAngel in

in an effort to excuse yourself from elder persecution, you present an argument.

whether at a jc or just in an average elder shepherding call.

most people who have confronted a jc, have tried to explain to the elders about what they know of the org but the incriminating questions always come up.. when confronted with the question, do you still believe the gb is the f&ds?

How can I? Even THEY didn't believe it until 2012 when they announced it at the Annual Meeting. I mean, come on! Over 90 years and they didn't know they were the F&DS?!?!?!

The Perfect Ones...

by JW_Rogue in

with the rc coming i was wondering if anyone else noticed how some jws seemed to have everything somehow?

you would see these attractive young couples who clearly were well off.

the brother had privileges though so you know he was at the meetings and fs regularly.

Esse quam videri

One of those perfect couples used to be in my old congregation. Perfect wife, perfect husband, perfect children and all very good looking. Then a game changer happened. They had a down syndrome child. Now you hear about families that make great sacrifices for their handicapped children. Very honorable parents. Not this couple. Did I say a game changer? Well, I didn't really mean it. This perfect couple had a lot of money and could easily have provided for this handicapped child. However, that didn't quite fit into their life style. So, they proceeded to have the child committed into an institution to care for it. Out of sight, out of mind. No one in the congregation ever asked about the little one that disappeared.
