  Matt 24:14 fulfilled..anyone called bethel to confirm?

  by candidlynuts in

  has anyone called bethel to confirm that this is an official proclamation?.

  a few 1000 phone calls might get some attention... probably cause warning talks on getting your information thru emails instead of publications ... i know some of you here do call bethel on occasion..just wondering if anyone has called to ask about this latest stuff..

  I think he just meant that the command to preach has been accomplished but he doesn't really imply that means it is over.

  Blondie,

  I basically respect a lot of the Society's publications about Jesus. I think they are pretty good.

  That's what I study with them.

  Becca1,

  Problem is I have not "technically" been inactive.

  I put in 4 hours a month for my study with my kids.

  Thanks everyone!

  BTW: My P.O. Dad (pioneer 30 years) called today and told my 9 year old about another 9 year old in his hall that just became an unbaptized publisher!

  YEAH!

  MORE PRESSURE!

  Question From Readers

  (fictional) but i wish i had the guts to write this to them for real!.

  1. why can my mother that has just been diagnosed for possible terminal cancer (true) accept blood fractions from whole blood donated from a worldly person at the red cross?.

  2. is it then now a conscience matter to go ourselves to the red cross and give blood if we designate it for fraction use only?.

  We had the C.O. visit this week and I was honest about the family being sick but the e-mails and calls keep piling in.

  Why can't the Society just accept people who want to drift away!

  I think we need a new category:

  1. DFd and "letters of dissociation" ones.

  2. Just want to fade and still consider myself an inactive JW already but leave me alone!

  P.S. Honestley please, all the "Jehoover" and "cult" and "WT&T$" people, I appreciate your opinions as your own, but am looking for something different!

  Thanks.

  Name better ways to attract new people at the Kingdom Hall?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  1) build a hall in the center of the city, not far away like they usually do.. 2) make it 1 hour meetings.

  3) dress clean, that's all.

  4) beards or no beards, that's not important, it's what's in your heart that counts.. .

  Tragic Bush Administration Failure

  by DebSmithLopez in

  up here, in the northern plains, we just recovered from a historic event--- may i even say a "weather event" of "biblical proportions" with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 mph that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed all roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.. .

  fyi:.

  george bush did not come.. .
