Bought the new Kindle for Xmas pressie for wife. Battery life with daily use is great. Didn't need re charging for just over one month. As a book reader it is very good.

Anyone have a Kindle or a Nook?
by Simon ini really don't like the ipad (or apple) but i think an ebook reader would be nice.
nothing made by sony though .... the amazon kindle and barnes & noble nook look to be the best (esp.
with the recent price reductions) but i'd like any insight from anyone who has one.

Slightly altered this one
''Another way to cooperate with Christ's "brothers" is to have a positive attitude toward any refinements in your understanding of Scriptural truths
as published by "us."-Matt. 24:45.You also demonstrate your submission to Christ's "brothers" by cooperating with the appointed overseers in the Christian congregation.
The apostle Paul said: "Be obedient to those who are taking the lead among you and be submissive, for they are keeping watch over your souls." (Heb. 13:17)For example, an elder may give you encouragement related to the importance of having a regular Family Worship evening or may offer suggestions concerning some aspect of your field ministry. A traveling overseer may give you some helpful Scriptural counsel on a particular aspect of Christian living. Your willingly applying such counsel shows that you follow Jesus as your Leader. The world is sadly lacking in effective leadership. But how refreshing it is to follow Christ's loving leadership! By all means, obey your Leader and cooperate with us.''

''Never allow personal tragedies to embitter you against Jehovah. (Prov. 19:3) As we draw ever closer to the end of this wicked world, more and more of Jehovah's people are being affected by disasters and tragedies. We do not expect miraculous protection at this time''

The deteriorating world conditions that
mark our day leave no doubt that since 1914,
Satan's wicked world has entered its last
days. The stormclouds of Armageddon cannot
be far-off. Soon it will be time for the
Son of man to come to execute Jehovah's
judgment on the ungodly. -

''Consider the example of a teenage girl in the
country of Ethiopia. She did so well in her
schoolwork that upon completing her basic
education, she was offered a scholarship for
further education. Having her eye focused
on serving Jehovah, however, she turned
down the scholarship'' -

''How does a supportive wife feel about seeing her husband play an active role in the
Christian congregation? Why, she is joyful!Whether her husband is a ministerial servant, an elder, or perhaps a member of a Hospital Liaison Committee or a Regional Building Committee, she is happy about his privilege.''
Is she? What, always?

One more reason why I have very little, if any, respect for any body that ''worships'' the God of the Old Testament.
That includes all religious Christians, all religious Muslims and all religious Jews.
I personally think the world would be a better place without any religion and by default any religious people.

Is it acceptable for JWs to put flowers on a loved one's grave?
by serenitynow! ini want to go and put some flowers on my grandma's grave.
she died 9 years ago feb 19. i haven't been out there since the funeral.
i can't remember where the cemetary is, and i will have to ask my jw relatives (who don't know my status) where she is buried.

A good question. I would assume (in other words I don't know) it is looked down on.
I remember hearing of a brother dying of cancer in my local congregation whilst relatively still young. There was some concern and chatter that his young widow was known to be attending the gravesite and was overheard talking out loud.
One 'stalwart' sister, as she likes to call herself, said to me '' we all grieve but come on, she needs to pull herself together''.
Such love.

''The center could generate $264 million in revenues over a five-year period,''
That's a million dollars a week. How?
''Could''
