i was at a wedding the summer before i left the jws and i met an old friend.
he had been reinstated for 6 months, he was dfed for 4 years.
so it took him 3 1/2 years before they would let him back in.
new boy '... He had commited adultery with another "brothers" wife. Who he was now married to...'
Screw around with a man's wife and then steal her. Wreck his family and then you want me to chum around with you? I don't care if you are reinstated. Stay the hell away from me.

Why are they wasting time on 'finding a mate' anyway...
Because they never read the book 'Children', that's why.
Brother Rutherford would be so upset. Listen, obey and be blessed. My foot.

So just before he goes to impress the garbage bag girl he shoves a broom handle into the black guys chest.
Black Bro is thinking, '...WTF...'
Girl follows chest handle pusher like a little puppy dog. Eventually she will find out what he's really like and kindly old couple will be saying, ' .. she should never have married that loser..'.

re: magazine requests .
dear brothers: in our letter to all congregations dated october 20, 2015, regarding making wise use of printed magazines, publishers are encouraged to use good judgment to determine an individual’s interest before offering magazines.

What a waste of time. Why can't the "MS" sit in the first meeting?
Boy, do you not understand 'pecking orders'. Why have the authority it you don't use it. Watchtower executives understand the process.

one of the biggest gulfs that life has had to cross was the transition from sea to dry land.. fish have conical shaped heads, reptiles have flat heads.
fish have no necks; their heads are attached to their shoulders by a series of bony plates.
land-dwelling animals all have necks; their heads can move independently of their shoulders.
These sound like insurmountable problems, but if evolution is true there must have been creatures that made the leap successfully. In 2004 Neil Shubin and his team set themselves the challenge of finding exactly this transitional fossil. What they discovered was astonishing.
Their success was not entirely down to good luck. The critical time period was already known. Fossils from rocks 385 million years old all look like fish, younger rocks dated at 365 million years old reveal fossils that are all recognisably amphibian or reptile. To find a relative of the transitional species between fish and land-dwelling animals Shubin knew he had to concentrate on rocks that were 375 million years old, preferably laid down in an ancient river or stream and which were now exposed on the surface.
And along comes Tiktaalik. Proof of transition from water dweller to land dweller. Amazing. So much information from one fossil.
A picture is brought into a court room. A snap shot of a man. We'll call him Joe. Three lawyers are going to give their argument to the court based on one picture. Each will use the picture to prove something completely different.
Lawyer 1 will prove that Joe was walking forward when the picture was taken.
Lawyer 2 will prove that Joe was walking backward when the picture was taken.
Lawyer 3 will prove that Joe was neither walking forwards or backwards when the picture was taken. He was motionless.
The judge dismisses them all. None have proven their case. No matter what colourful language and illustrations they used they do not have sufficient evidence. After all, it is only a picture.
Why would anyone jump to the conclusion that transition from water dweller to land dweller is taking place, from one fossil? Why could not a similar case be given for this fossil proving transition from land dweller to water dweller? Why not a strong case for an animal, complete and able to function just fine the way it is?

" ... Pops, tell us again about great, great, great Grandpa Tiktaalik..."
"... Well, like I said, when Grandpa Tiktaalik was growing up it was a fish-eat-fish world. Now even though Grandpa Tiktaalik and all his relatives were pretty big boys themselves, and even though they did their share of eatin' smaller fish, it seems Grandpa and his cousins were gettin' ate a little too regular. Now the customary plan, when being chased by a predator, was to swim like hell. That didn't always work. Some figured they would find hidin' places to keep safe. That only works until you get hungry and have to come out for somethin' to eat. When they did.... well.... they got ate. Seems Grandpa Tiktaalik finally put 2 and 2 together and said to himself.
'If them predators live in water and chase us in water and eat us in water it seems I should be removing the one thing from the equation that makes that possible. The water. I got to get outta this here water.'
So he figured because he couldn't live outside of that thar water the way his body was designed-and-all that he would have to re-design his body. And that's what he commenced to do. He re-designed himself so he could live outside of that thar water and away from them big predators..".

' ...These sound like insurmountable problems, but if evolution is true there must have been creatures that made the leap successfully. In 2004 Neil Shubin and his team set themselves the challenge of finding exactly this transitional fossil....In the end it took four expeditions to Ellesmere Island over a period of six years to find what they were looking for, but when they did it exceeded all expectations. It would hardly be possible to make up a fossil more perfect as a transition between fish and land-living animals than Tiktaalik... They knew that the transition from fish to land happened 375 million years ago. They knew where rocks of this age were to be found and they went to that place and found precisely what they predicted must exist..."
A fossil that proves, overwhelmingly, the evolutionary transition from sea to land forms. Wow. Imagine that. Of course there's always going to be some peons that don't accept this amazing body of evidence. Massive.
And that critter Tiktaalik.
'...Tiktaalik stumbled on an alternative – get out the water...'
What a forward thinker that Tiktaalik. " If I'm gonna survive I gotta git outa this here water. Yessiree Bob."
Mountains of evidence. Mountains.
