alert..............alert.....breaking news .......... john cedars of jwsurvey has pranked called governing body member anthony morris iii at bethel .
over 2 minutes of pranking .
as i type he is editing the recording into a video .
Priceless. I'm sure he's right about the Watchtower heightening its security. I wonder if it would be possible to pull the same prank twice.
I'm glad he heard what John said about other Witnesses saying they saw the light after hearing him. Should be an encouragement.
the authors of a paper presented in the biological bulletin have provided the first direct evidence that the emerald green sea slug, an unusual little beast in that it helps sustain itself by photosynthesis, has within its chromosomes genes that come from the algae it eats.. this is an example of gene transfer from one species to another.
in effect this is exactly what the the goal of gene therapy is.
it is anticipated that gene therapy techniques will prevent many genetically based diseases in humans.
i've been trying to figure out the purpose of the new (bland, commercial style) building that the gb is pushing.
it is not a design that attracts attention, nor does it offer a lot in future resale value.
it will be more difficult to build than the wood residential style buildings, meaning they can't use their cheap unskilled labor force for a lot of the work.

@ konceptual99:
"There will be something behind the change related to finances but I think it's far more likely to be in the P/L on the resale coupled with ongoing donations."
The more I think about JeffT's idea the more I'm convinced that he is right. Renting out the Kingdom Hall would turn the building into a cash cow that can be milked indefinitely.

@Searcher:
"Would JW congregations sanction their place of worship being used by a Gay Rights movement, pro-abortion supporters, spiritualist groups, etc. etc. etc.?"
Searcher, the congregations are under the control of the Governing Body and the Governing Body is amoral. Remember, these are the same people who affiliated themselves with the United Nations in spite of what they taught.

I wonder if they will rent the hall to other religious groups. Pentecostals perhaps?
Seriously, they would probably have 3 or 4 congregations meeting at one hall which would come out to 2-3 complete days vacant per hall per week as well as 6 partial days. They may even move the Sunday meetings to Saturday if any church group wanted to rent it on Sunday only. There's quite a few churches that meet in rented halls in my neighborhood - all of them Charismatic.
you must see the musical video at the end of this month program (aprox.
at 1:04:30).... i don't like to use "must" but this is wow... if you think they couldn't get any lower... just be prepared...
so i just watched the singing cart video.
i literally cannot describe how i felt watching that.. growing up as a jw was serious business.
we had to take the preaching work seriously, watch our conduct, give a good witness by our actions, and be on our best behaviour to ensure we made it through the great tribulation.. when i was a child, i had dreams of being a cartoonist.
since everything in life is supposed to be created by god, why did he create mosquitos, and vampire bats?.
mosquitos and vpbats live by taking in blood from other animals, and well humans too.
so my question is.....why would he forbid blood transfusions , when he made creatures who live off of others blood?
This is the story that explains it all:
Once upon a time there was this talking snake who told a naked lady to eat a fruit and share it with a naked man who had a missing rib.
Then all hell broke loose. Lions stopped eating grass and started gobbling up baby lambs; Tyrannosaurus stopped munching on palm trees and started sinking their teeth into Brontosaurs; and Galaxies started crashing into each other.
Please don't laugh because if you do some nasty worm is going to start boring into your eyes.
