showing deep respect.. .
so what judge, male or female, gave god's answer to difficult questions with god's spirit?.
congregation elders and traveling overseers?
Good work Blondie. You know what's truly sad about this article? The missed opportunity. Its like these articles are written by men extremely out of touch with reality. Here they spend almost the whole article talking about honoring deities, and elders when they could have taken the time to discuss how to really treat everyday people and family members with dignity, respect, kindness, and oh yes honor. Another wasted opportunity of many the GB squanders.

once again a heavy on jesus issue, because the memorial is approaching.
the "fds" also want blondie to calm down because she's always bringing up the lack of jesus being mentioned in the majority of the issues.. the picture of the 125th gilead graduation on page 23 caught my eye thanks to jwd.
OMG!! That thing is horrid! Particularly the "Following the Lamb" article. My gosh, how can they make such BS comments with no one questioning never ceases to amaze me. It just goes to show that unless one's premises are logically sound one can believe anything. Imagine they receive direction from Jehovah! After their screwups that they still have the nerve...

ever since i bought my townhouse i've been doing all sorts of little projects here and there.. i fixed some weather stripping on the door.changed the locks after moving in.i seeded the back yard so it would start growing grassi fixed my counter-top that was a bit un-even.etc... all sorts of little things here and there.. today i did the biggest (little) job: i fixed an odd sound coming from a sink.. i noticed a second drain pipe under the sink that connected to the sink's main drain pipe.
i removed the second pipe and confirmed that the "plunking" sound was coming from it.
i traced the pipe up to the ac/heating unit in the attic.
Hey Elsewhere, be a little subtle will ya?

Awesome quote. We were always taught this. This reminds me of a quote from Jesus:
(Matthew
Isaac Carmignani
23:1-4) . . .Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying: 2 "The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the seat of Moses. 3 Therefore all the things they tell YOU, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds, for they say but do not perform. 4 They bind up heavy loads and put them upon the shoulders of men, but they themselves are not willing to budge them with their finger.

according to the feb 2009 kingdumb misery, this is the title of the new hounder-hounder talks for public talks starting march 1. now, i can only imagine worldly fantasies include having a family, a reasonable measure of health and security, and being able to live a decent life.
kingdumb reality means throwing your life away out in field circus, attending boasting sessions, dutifully studying washtowel publications every tuesday all evening, and dying stagnant and having produced zero value in your own life.
I just noticed you guys mentioned that. Sorry.

The recycling gets better. That WT article was a talk at a District Convention several years ago, probably 1989 or 1990, judging by the article date. Its amazing how much cut and paste their writers do. They have nothing new to offer. Same s**t, different day.

this thread is dedicated to the absolute irony`s and insanity`s we witnessed(pun intended lol!!
),as jehovah`s witness`s.....in wbt$ world,not much makes sense,if you think about it......i`ll give some examples...........#1:windowless kingdom hall`s..filled with window washers!..lol!
!........#2:100`s of kingdom halls with security systems..with the security numbers set at 1-9-1-4..(no one will ever think of that..this place is safe!..lol!!
How about free literature that's copyrighted. They want everybody to have it. But they want to prosecute selectively if they don't like the context any quotes are made in.
How about printing half a million copies of a worldwide message about religion designed to reach six billion people!

will they ever announce that the world wide preaching work is finished?.
will they fill that gap with something else, like "new system" lessons?.
The doubletalk started way back in 1995. That quote actually states that the prophecy has been fulfilled. But then it says: "Matthew 24:14 continues to be fulfilled in a large way." So the EXTENT is what is in question. Which means they can go on and on and say never proclaim the end of the preaching work.
