Went on this the luncheon cruise yesterday. Had a good time.

Seen some of the most expensive real estate on the planet.

Manhattan skyline (notice freedom tower under construction just left of the helicopter)

Brooklyn bridge

And of course the magazine bible & leaflet printing company. The park in front was new to me.

The printing company sure knows how to market itself.

Time and temperature clock next to a sign with it's best selling product.

Fury after reading Watchtower article for this week

by Eclectic in

i hope i do not repeat thread.

paragraph 15, w2011 6/15 p. 23 states:.

paul set a fine example for christian elders.

Of course the CO's & DO's are $$$ burdens.

Also special pioneers like my brother & sis in law are $$$$ burdens.

Since my sister in law is a sister in the org. all she does is field service.

Following Paul's example my a$$.

this morning on my way to the office i decided to stop at the gas station to get some coffee.... as i am pulling into the parking space i see this woman w a haircut from the 80's the typical below the knee skirt and long sleeve shirt (is a 105 degrees over here in the shadow).... i immediatly knew she was a jw... she had the latest wt in her hands..... she skipped me and approached a group of young mexican laborers that were resting in the back of a truck... but... as soon as i walked out of the gas station... guess who was waiting for me???

the jw!!!

she wanted to do a presentation.. i looked at her and w/o saying a word i started laughing so hard the guys in the truck started laughing as well... she just looked at me and still kept trying to push her literatrash!!

Why ASSUME she was humiliated?????
Most JW's get an ego boost when they get their persecution complex stroked.

"If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own.
Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world,
on this account the world hates you."
(John 15:18, 19; see also 1 Peter 4:3, 4.)

"You will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my name." (Mark 13:13)

I'm thinking she probably felt self righteous after all that.
Her experience will probably get used in a part at the meeting. lol

I enjoyed your story.

Why do some of the other posters assume she was humiliated?

But then I'm just assuming they did not speak with her after the experience.

IMO laugh at them all you want !!!

When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed? Why It Matters - What the Evidence Shows

by wannabefree in

obviously 607 is a problem, watchower coming out full forces on this one in the latest public edition.. http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/wp_e_20111001.pdf.

I think this will actually backfire on the Watchtower.

When I was in the Watchtower, I didn't even know there was an issue with the 607 date.

When I realized everyone else on the planet said 587, I started researching and the rest is history.

Thanks Watchtower !
