  Should we use calculators???

  *** g76 9/8 25 Should a Pocket Calculator Be in Your Pocket? *** What Disadvantages?

  As might be expected, an electronic calculator is not all advantages. There are disadvantages, and it is wise for you to consider them. For one thing, having a calculator is going to involve some money, time and attention. How much would you use it? In your case the few occasions when you would really be helped by having a calculator might not justify the cost, even with the recent low prices. Do you want to put money into something that you may not need, or that may be just a toy for a few days?

  Also, it will take you some time to learn how to use a calculator. You will have to think about repairs if it breaks. And what about getting batteries for it periodically if it is of the type that requires such? Good questions to consider.

  Another thing, how might having an electronic calculator affect your present ability to do mathematics? One man from got into the habit of using his even for simple addition or multiplication of a few small numbers. Later he observed: When I had to figure something out without my calculator, I found I was much slower than before. It was harder to do simple calculations, things I had learned as a child and formerly could do easily. Hence, he decided to use his electronic calculator only when he faced long, tedious mathematics, such as adding columns of figures, when working out many percentages or averages, or when speed and accuracy were vital.

  Can I still use my electrickery toothbrus?

  "Shepherd the Flock" book.

  hey,.

  i'm relatively new here and wondered if any ex-elders (or indeed anyone who knows) could tell me what's so secret about the "shepherd the flock" book.. what is in that book that they don't want ordinary publishers to see?.

  i haven't met an elder yet that can give me a good answer as to why it's kept so quiet.. any help would be gratefully received.

  Talk about secrets, when I was the Account Servant its was even secret/confidential for the to allow me to even see letters address to the Elders even when they had instructions dealing with running the congregation accounts. I had to go over and see another brother in a local congregation just to make sure I was doing things right! This elder was so thick he tried his best to explain how I should do the accounts, but he used to get it so wrong.

  I also looked after the subscriptions and I kept the letters of instruction on how to deal with subs, but once, I showed the on how to deal with subs correctly, what did he do? Tried to confiscate them from me, I used to pull my hair out at all of this stupid stuff, no wonder I feel as I do now.

  I can understand why the WT is in this big mess the Elder can not handle things right, I feel its all down to pride, and power!!!

  For Bill to have his DFd overturned, he will have to show repentance, for example take down his web site Silent Lambs. And stop exposing the WT. Its dead simple Bill needs to do works that befit repentance!!

  Acts 26:20I went bringing the message that they should repent and turn to God by doing works that befit repentance.

  But I feel Bill wont do this, but just carry on and try to help all those victims of abuse, and in doing so expose the WT.

  I must also note quite a lot of the R & F pubs are upset, and have had abuse both on the doors and in public places, I know of Magazine calls being cancelled by upset householders due to the Panorama expose!

  Hope this helps

  Matthew 25:41-46

  41 Then he will say, in turn, to those on his left, Be on YOUR way from me, YOU who have been cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels. 42 For I became hungry, but YOU gave me nothing to eat, and I got thirsty, but YOU gave me nothing to drink. 43 I was a stranger, but YOU did not receive me hospitably; naked, but YOU did not clothe me; sick and in prison, but YOU did not look after me. 44 Then they also will answer with the words, Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to you? 45 Then he will answer them with the words, Truly I say to YOU , To the extent that YOU did not do it to one of these least ones, YOU did not do it to me. 46 And these will depart into everlasting cutting-off, but the righteous ones into everlasting life.

  By Dr David Whitehouse BBC News Online science editor

  Astronomers have ruled out an Earth impact from asteroid 2002 NT7 on 1 February 2019 - but they say, as yet, future collisions have not been completely excluded.

  2002 NT7, a two-kilometre-wide (1.4 miles) chunk of rock, was discovered on 9 July. Initial estimates of its orbit suggested there was a small chance of it colliding with our planet in 17 years' time.

  However, the latest observations accumulated over the last few days have confirmed the asteroid will fly harmlessly by.

  Dr Don Yeomans, of the US space agency's (Nasa) Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said: "We can now rule out any impact possibilities for 1 February 2019." sleep easy now

  Worship pub. changes, FDS doctrine affected?

  howdy folks,.

  last night i was reviewing the new publication: "worship the only true god" ("worship") which is an update of the "united in worship of the only true god" ("united").. while i only spent a short time doing this there are evidently many changes.

  some are just grammatical or stylistic changes and others i am wondering if they may be more significant in terms of doctrinal shifts.. examples:.

  Notice how 1935 was explained:

  *** uw 112 14 'I Make a Covenant With You for a Kingdom' *** When we consider what has actually occurred, it seems evident that the heavenly calling in general was completed by about the year 1935 C.E., when the earthly hope of the great crowd was clearly discerned.

  *** w82 2/1 28 "Born Again"-Man's Part and God's Part *** Under its direction the heavenly hope was held out, highlighted and stressed until about the year 1935. Then as light flashed up to reveal clearly the identity of the great crowd of Revelation 7:9, the emphasis began to be placed on the earthly hope. (Psalm 97:11) It is reasonable to conclude, therefore, that by that time the full number of 144,000 would have been nearly completed.

  Notice that the words seems and reasonable are used. So 67 years on now, we are told the completion of the Sealing of these anointed ones draws near.

  Has anybody notice the picture of Jesus on the stake in the new book Draw Close To Jehovah note how thin the stake is, it looks to me that it would barely hold the weight of a man, The old pictures showed a much thicker stake, the strongest man in the world would not be able to carry such weight. Any thoughts?

  I just wrote my own funeral arrangements, I suggest that you all do it now, and give it to someone you know/trust who will follows it to there best.

  I hope to live much longer and find new friends, and maybe someone to share love with. I decide not to have any prayers, and definitely no preaching or the giving of a witness, its my memorial (they can use the door to door misery for that, but not my funeral).

  My children can pick any songs they wish, (I hope its not Postman Pat) I have asked friends to prepare a few words about all that I loved in life, and have a friend sing the beautiful Pie Jesu (From Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem).

  At the crematorium the Monkeys Day Dream Believer will be played, as a kids my brother and me used to love the Monkeys TV show.

  My memorial is to a celebration of the all that I loved, so after there will be plenty of the best wines for all to enjoy, and they can laugh at all the things I laughed at.
