  i was conducting the theocratic ministry school years and years and years and years ago and announced the #3 speaker up to the platform.

  this of course was the sister/sister talk at the table.

  up comes the publisher, sister so-and-so and her 25 year old daughter as her householder.

  Her daughter was not baptized.

  " ...Sheesh " we said, " let's make sure that never happens again..."
  

  What do you think should have happened afterwards?

Up comes the publisher, Sister So-and-So and her 25 year old daughter as her householder. Just one thing was a little strange. Her daughter was about 6 months pregnant and unmarried. It didn't know what the h#ll to do so I just let them proceed. That whole meeting is still a blur to me.

  Jehovah's Witnesses May Have Peaked in Membership at 8 Million (+/-)

  i don't have all the details of their new "service year" numbers, but i have read enough on jwn to state my opinion pretty strongly.. memorial attendance for 2015 was down.while they kept saying they were going to build a bunch of new kingdom halls, and everybody is still in recovery from watchtower taking all the local money away, they say pretty much that there isn't enough money to build new kingdom halls.putting gb members on the videos at jw .

  org has allowed people to really put a face and personality to these guys and remove the mystery of how they should be such deeply spiritual serious men.

  instead they see silly thoughts about tight pants and, really everything that comes out of lett's mouth is delivered ultra-goofy, along with the money reports.. the gb lost credibility a little more with every new light that shone down, with the strangest one being "overlapping generation.

  sir82 ' ... Number of baptisms declined for the 2nd year in a row....'

  Perhaps the congregations are running out of 8 year olds.

  I Think The Watchtower Corporation Would Offer An Excellent Study On CEOs and decision Making When Shackled By Idealism Or Something

  It can be argued that justice has to be done. Revenge can be seen as a form of justice unfolding as the wronged person sees fit. Who has the right to judge whether someone seeks justice or the manner they choose? As long as it does not break any laws, revenge can have a very tempering affect. It can calm a troubled soul and cleanse the mind. Revenge can help a person leave the past behind and get on with life. It is reasonable that a certain number of 'cast aside' bethelites, district overseers, circuit overseers and special pioneers will seek revenge in their own way. Maybe some will become contributing members of this forum.

  I think I understand what you mean and I agree with you.

  Revenge can take many interesting forms. We wait to see.

  The different bible books were laid in a grid pattern and I clicked on Malachi. No response. Directions said , " Books available are in blue. More books will be added in time." Guess how many books were available.

  ONE. Only the book of Matthew out of 66 books.
  

  Why would the WT Bible and Tract Society bother putting, on the site, a study edition of the NWT with only 1 book available. Like a bunch of amateurs. In my opinion, a professional organization would construct the complete data and then add it to the online library.

  this was posted on fb.. so guys, i'm gonna share something with you all that i think you should know.

  i've only told two people about this (one being john cedars) for fear of getting this guy into trouble, but it's very telling and will reaffirm your "ttatt faith!

  a couple of weeks ago, i had to have an "ability to protect" assessment by a gentleman from a company that also investigates child protection policies etc.
