remember this quote;.
"the apostle paul was spearheading the christian missionary activity.
he was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century.
Good catch.
This reminds me of an old Soviet encyclopedia which had a picture of a group of astronauts posing for the cameras. One of the astronauts fell out of favor for political reasons and his image was removed from the picture. However, the encyclopedia's editors didn't realize that the same identical picture - uncensored - was in a separate section of the book.
the world is full of wickedness.. the end is very near.. we must do more.. how thankful we are for the governing body.

my zealously fanatic jw mum is aware of my current "tourist-jw" life.
what she doesn't know for sure is that she's part of the ones who brought me to this.. my mum was a quite moderate jw, she even got publically reproved once.
in our house, there was no daily text, no family study, no eating together, no preaching together, no watchtower study...even though she regularly checked my wt to see if i studied it.. being a single mother, she had a quite busy work schedule, so from the moment she woke up to the moment she went to bed, you'd better not waste a single minute of her time needlessly.
heyo,.
your favorite garrett here.
so, i'm about to have an elder tell me allll about the failed 1975 doctrine.
Stuck in the middle, how soon did they take the sign down?
By the way, welcome.
i was thinking of starting a topic on thoughts that go through your mind while attending meetings.... right now i am at the meeting and thinking ... we study about jesus's courage to stand by rightness and truth, about him getting in conflict with religious leaders who thought of themselves as experts of the law, jesus understood truth and god differently of them and he had the courage to speak out!.
so we study this, but after that we draw the concluzion that courage is to go preaching and identify yourself as a witness .... well, this in not what i understand from jesus's courage!.
The Searcher,
"If it was virtually any other church in Christendom, I could challenge/question what was said..."
I think you overestimate the tolerance of quite a few other sects. Only amongst liberal Christians is there any tolerance but amongst most Fundamentalists there is none.
yes friends.....this is the comment said to me by an elder!.
"your bad attitude is evident because you don't bring your meeting bag anymore!".
i calmly replied: "but everything i need is on the tablet now......".
Next time make a dramatic entry like this:
yes friends.....this is the comment said to me by an elder!.
"your bad attitude is evident because you don't bring your meeting bag anymore!".
i calmly replied: "but everything i need is on the tablet now......".

So put your tablet inside a meeting bag.
Here's one that should be big enough.
a statement that phizzy made on jonathan drake's thread on flyers gave me the following ideas.. we should make a flyer on the issue of the watchtower pedophilia issue written with the object of alerting the public about the jw door to door activity.
phizzy suggested the title, "the paedophile at your door".. on that flyer should be the contact information of our most informed member on the subject who's willing to talk to the media.
barbara anderson perhaps?.
Lisa Rose,
"There really is very little danger to the public, because the vast majority of people are completely uninterested in Jehovah's Witness are are hardly going to allow one to allow one to gain access to their children."
The public in general may not be interested in the Jehovah's Witnesses but show them the video clip below and they will develop an interest. Start at the 22:20 minute mark:
