New arrangement for field service?
by Zico in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i don't know if this is a worldwide thing because i didn't go the meeting where the arrangement was announced, but it's being done in my congregation anyway.

during those 6 months the member assigned to the pioneer is meant to make time to work with the pioneer as much as possible, so they can strengthen each other.

the idea is meant to be that eventually each member of the congregation will get a go.

savemysoul made a good point that i have heard often.

semi/full blow racist remarks are usually started off with "i'm not racist but..." then add some blanket statement afterwards.

so is racism now the new gay?

john reports: and they were told to harm no vegetation of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of god on their foreheads.

and in those days the men will seek death but will by no means find it, and they will desire to die but death keeps fleeing from them.revelation 9:4-6.. .

Is Satan getting a bad rap?
by lovelylil in
1. jw
2. friends
the thread on spiritism got me thinking about all the ridiculous things the jw's in my hall blamed on satan.

like their kid getting a cold and they had to miss the meeting or getting a flat tire on saturday, thus missing field service.. i always wondered if satan is such a powerful spirit creature, why the hell would he waste his time flattening tires or causing a runny nose?

you would think he would be causing wwiii or another plague or something!.

so i was bored and clicked on the little "big boards" thing at the bottom of the screen.

you can get a lot of statistical information with lots of neat graphs there that're pretty interesting.

for instance, here is 3 months of daily "unique" visitors to the site:.
