I thought this was interesting.
The congregations that will be connected to the live broadcast will listen in to the prayers as they are broadcast. The congregations watching and listening to the programme later should arrange for local elders to say the prayers.
I guess they think Jehovah would have already hung up the phone on the recorded prayers. The local elders have to call him again.
a bit of introspection on this one ... just read on someone's post that a compliment makes him "float" for hours, and it got me thinking; within the spectrum of comments that people make about me, from compliment to criticism, which is the type that most affects me?.
after my experience as a jehovah's witness, i find that i've become suspicious of compliments and over-sensitive to criticism.
because a common technique of elders was to compliment someone before going down to business, that is, giving hard counseling or discipline.
I'm always suspicious of compliments. If you criticize me, I know you are telling me how you really feel.
thank you, jw.net and cofty, for redirecting me to the right organization!.
when i posted why did god permit scriptures to be corrupted?
then i thought, if there is an organization that believes all scriptures are corrupted (which obviously makes it enemy of all religions), that organization is not ordinary, but gutsy, lionhearted, and worthy of close examination!
why is no one else singing???
it's so strange!
was she doing a solo or what?.
You think that one's funny ... this one is hilarious! The guy looks like he is jacking off under the water while he is ogling her.
The description reads "CANADA - AUGUST 12: Model Dedicates Life to Jehovah; Fashion model Heather Farrar prepares for baptism as convert to the Jehovah's Witnesses during annual Watchtower convention yesterday. She is helped by Fred Holder; left; and Larry Sikorski in special pool set up at Woodbine Racetrack. Miss Farrar; one of more than 100 people baptized; said; I want to dedicate myself to Jehovah God. Convention; which started Thursday and ends tomorrow; has attracted 12;000. The immersion ceremony was one of the highlights. (Photo by Graham Bezant/Toronto Star via Getty Images)" Source
from the nwt, of course.
none of the other versions make it sound any better, either.
2 timothy, chapter 2 has been used and abused to suppress women everywhere.
First ... Hawaii Pidgin is awesome! Thanks for that!
Second ... the cruelest and most violent acts are, of course in the OT, but whenever I point out any of those things that are written in the OT, my JW family pulls the ... "yeah, but we are not under the Mosaic Law anymore" and completely miss the point. And I have always wondered and wanted to ask them, "If we WERE still under the Mosaic Law, does that mean you would stone your kids to death if they disobeyed you because the bible says so?" I am afraid the answer would be "yes".

12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but she is to remain silent.* 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 Also, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was thoroughly deceived and became a transgressor.
Paul was an asshole (or whoever it was that supposedly wrote the book of Timothy.) And it sounds like we need to let imaginary Adam take responsibility for his imaginary actions instead of blaming his imaginary wife.
What is your worst verse in the bible?
it couldn't be from a watchtower cover, right???
does anyone know?.
mm.
I used a reverse search engine. Here is one source I found:
It is from: http://www.worth1000.com/contests/3247/contest
I doubt it is the original since it was a photoshopping contest, but it was from 10 years ago, and seems to be earliest time I can find it on the internet. It probably started out as a stock photo on some website, and now it has been edited and used so many times, it will be hard to track down the original. It is similar to some pictures I have seen the watchtower use, but I don't think it is the same. The title of this photo is "Egg Timer."
so this saturday we are going to have some kind of videolink speech, by a james mantz from headquarters apparantly.
how very exciting... or not.
thats what my mum said anyway, and i just thought like " yeah right" i can t remember we have ever had it before, is it a new take?
Oh wow! I have never even heard of Kingdom Support Services, Inc. until today. My, how things have changed since I left! In doing a little googling, I found that they say it was established for construction and fleet management. Evidently, they run the KH constructions, and they hold the title to all of the Watchtower's fleet.
Is this a corporation they established to protect themselves legally? If so, how does it protect them? Is this something commonly done by religious organizations? Do they commonly establish separate corporations for different divisions of their religious order?
