  steve2,

  BTW, in New Zealand, there is an increasing trend towards unigender restrooms so it is not an issue.

  By unigender do you mean restrooms for more than one occupant?

  Why not keep it simple and build single occupant restrooms?

  45 Minute Bethel Video about Changes (downsizing) at Watchtower

  i don't see this posted elsewhere, and i don't have the links besides this facebook one.. but here is a 45-minute long bethel talk about the changes at bethel including addressing the hard feelings of people who were given the axe.

  basically, everything must change.

  we gave remaining bethelites saturday off to do our bidding in "the field" and we give bethelites over 70 an extra day a week off (if you can find any such bethelites).

  They will have to go on food stamps and find themselves a nice warm blanket or two to soften up the concrete sidewalk.

  Christopher George is the person who decides what jobs are needed at Bethel and who should fill them. He has been doing that for almost 30 years. He wouldn't have to worry about being kicked out. He is the one actually deciding who gets kicked out. The company hatchet man.

  Beliefs About What Caused the Universe

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the universe can be observed to be expanding.. an expanding universe must have had a beginning.

  whatever begins to exist had a cause.

  therefore the universe had a cause.

  We would need to have a 4 or more dimensional mind to wrap our thoughts around this subject.

  I'm getting baptized

  i know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.

  my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.

  i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.

  Update on my recently disfellowshipped niece

  i had posted about a month ago that my niece, who just turned 15, was getting disfellowshipped.

  i learned this past weekend that she tried to commit suicide.

  between being df'd, and her dad not being around, it became too much for her.

  Sorry to hear about your niece but the fact that she's making plans for the future shows that she wants to live.

  Keep encouraging her in her plans.

  Gorby says goodbye

  my eyes for ttatt opened in 1995 with the generation change and the wt magazine stated "some witness thought that the generation started in 1914".

  since 1997, with internet at low speed, i followed h2o hourglass, www.xjw.com and later on www.jehovahs-witness.net.. did a bachelor and post bachelor since then.. now, nearly completed with fading, i feel it's time to go on with my life and do some other things, spending more time with my wife abd children instead of thinking about jw topics in my head.

  goal is being a better person and less grumpy at 45.... everything what could be said is already said.
