Confusing topic is it not?
Is it or is it not teaching when reading paragraphs?
Should a sister therefore wear headcovering or not?

· What should be kept in mind regarding reading the paragraphs at the meetings?
Much of the time allotted for the Watchtower Study and the Congregation Book Study is used for the reading of the paragraphs. This means that the brother assigned as reader carries a heavy responsibility as a teacher. He must read in a manner that will ‘put meaning’ into the material so that listeners not only will understand it but also will be motivated to action. (Neh. 8:8) Hence, the reader needs to prepare well for his assignment. (1 Tim. 4:13; see study 6 of the School Guidebook.) Here are some essentials for meaningful public reading.

This is not the first time that the leadership has issued unethical monstrocities. I wonder if their diet helps to improve their level of having the winds...?

1/15 WT: The Watchtower's Sick Social Order
by metatron ini just got done reading the latest watchtower and it reinforces any notion that the old men who run this religion.
want nothing to do with ethical reform of their cult.. the magazine gives an effective look at the way that the watchtower hierarchy maintains their sick social order.. first, women are inferiors, period.
nevermind the fact that women can manage/run/ or lead an organization equally as.

Let's watch how quick this load of diarrhea spreads through the grapevine. Some dubs must be getting real exited about being part of this "important" work which shows how close we are to the end.

km 2/07: Memorial Tract campaign
by GermanXJW ini am not sure if this has been already brought up but i got a glimpse at the feb 07 kingdom ministry.
the watchtower leaders seem to be convinced that the mechanics of tract campaigns to push numbers are a success.
another one will be started in mid-march to announce the jw memorial.

What I find amusing that they actually expect JW to have a parlez instead of a wedding because they don´t want guest to party on music. I mean, you don´t go walzing around on kingdom melodies in the background during a RECEPTION!
They do not make the distiction between a reception and a ball. For sure a well written article. (Puke.)
What was even more amusing were the looks on the face of the conductor when he heard my comment and the response of the cong.

This time of year, every year, the radio features the all time top 1000. lot´s of memories old and new and thoughts pass by about the time those songs were originally played on the radio.
Well, ask me next year and I´ll probably choose another song. But, right now I would settle for Spanish Train - Chris de Burgh.
In some resort God and the devil are now playing chess
the devil wins more souls and
God....
well...
he´s doing his best.

Interesting review.
Thinking about it: why are these arrangements always put in a context of unchangeble eternity? We mortals can´t even see beyond the next hour, day, year or decade. It places the vow on a level we cannot possibly comprehend or even live up to. What if your partner develops a dislike of the WT lunacy and becomes a moral degraded person trying to subvert your spirituality? Or just substitute this for unloving or whatever bad one can encounter. Surely you will love your partner even more so. (love, cherish and deeply, deeply respect....)
some countries allow several types of marriage communities:
a) living togwether in one house without legal registry or fiscal consequence.
b) fiscal partnership whether or not living together (duration: 1 year)
c) notary contract: any condition possible as long as permitted by law and current morals in society.
d) marriage standard
e) marriage economical
The problem with the standard marriage is of legal interest: either partners become automatically responsible for debts and obligations of the other for the rest of their lives....quite a legal ramification....
Economical has the option of securing assets for your partner when times of finanical contrains may appear....or may simply entail securing assets from your partner......
What woould happen if a couple would devise their own marital vows.......?
I had a discussion with elders how to view the situation where between a couple a notary contract exists. Can that union be considered marriage in WTS opinion or does the couple have to be married before the government official or the WTS official? They insisted upon the couple getting married before a government official. My point is that the union and the nature of that union is for a couple to decide.
Given the amount of divorces and the problems that come with it separation in terms of legal, economical , emotional ramifications, it is best practise to not only think about joining but about separation as well. You never know what live has instore for you. I have seen many go to ruin on their divorce.....
Maybe it is time for the spiritually enriching gb to accept the inevitable and conclude that it may be food in the proper time supply an addemdum to their happy family book: howto divorce. www.divorcceasfriends.com

Society laying the groundwork for "new light"?
by sir82 inin the january 1 2007 wt, there is the following quote in one of the articles regarding the "first resurrection" (there are a few other posts on that article already):.
it seems that resurrected ones of the 24 elders group may be involved in communicating of divine truths today.. this may be the most significant sentence in the article (haven't read it in its entirety yet).
i don't recall seeing anything like it in print before.. seems to be laying the groundwork for a "flash of new light", to be exposed probably whenever the last of the 3 old-timers hanging on (barr, barber, jaracz) drop off:.

When I read that a picture came to mind: Attack of the clones contains a part where master Joda is instructing Obi Wan to bring one of the twins to Tatooine. However, he promised to teach him how to communicate with Gui Gon, his former instructor. He suddenly appeared from beyound death to communicate with master Joda.......
......right........
a friend of mine once said: "the bible is a badly written science fiction novel". .....who fits the shoe....
Amusing ......

Big Question
by choosing life ini know there may not be an answer to this question, but i am truly interested in other's views.
i know many are of various beliefs and some do not believe in god at all.. the question is: why does god not stop the suffering?
i watch so many suffer for no reason and no matter how i try to figure it out, i always come back to the fact that a loving parent would not allow their child to suffer needlessly.

The WT has a nice one: a parent allowing to suffer his child pain caused by an medical operation. In the end, it will prolong and better the life of the child.
What escapes their mind is the fact that the child will receive aenestetics during the procedure and after that painkillers........and that it is treated with love in a most profound way.......
how differs our treatment of our childeren from God's...
To answer your question: No I do not reconcile it.
