I think that by leaving the number out of print, it makes it more of an unsure thing with the R&F. That way it gets de-emphasized so they don't start wondering why the end isn't here when that number reaches close to 0. They also know that they can't be run by the loonys that claim to be anointed although young. Within a few years you won't even hear about this doctrine anymore, they might have a WT article that changes it.

Number of 'Anointed' down to about 4000
by nicolaou inso i was at the 'memorial' last night (that's a whole other story) and i got into a converstaion with an elder afterwards.
i asked him why no figure had been printed in our kingdom ministry for the number of uk partakers last year.
(in 2000, the figure of 300 was given, down from 319 in 1999).

Jesus would ride on some custom chopper and go around kicking everyone's ass.
Sounds like a good pilot for a syndicated drama, "Jesus: 2030"

The mother of all gripes
by kenpodragon ini personally feel that the single biggest problem in modern society, is the lack of taking personal responsibility for our own actions.
i think that as a culture we have allowed people the room to make excuse after excuse, and accept these as something that should be legit.
well w e see kids raised in families that love them, feed them, take care of them to the best of their means.

As a conservative I must agree with you too Robyn, in so much that this has to do with personal responsibility nad one's party affiliation has nothing to do with one's personal values.
However in defense of Francois, Republicans do say that part of their political platform is to stress personal responsibility in their policies and some of the largest contributors to the Democratic party are trial lawyers. Whether that pans out in reality is up to you and me to decide.

Third World War
by Crystal init looks like we might really be going to war (they voted against us) iraq is getting an antidote for nerve gas (sounds like they are preparing) i fear that israel will drop a bomb on them.if this happens all hell will break loose.
does anyone know if they will start drafting?

Uh, no.
Nobody is dropping "the bomb". This war will be over relatively shortly and saddam will be in a million tiny pieces. and then you can get about your daily life.

When we start encouraging personal responsibility in our laws and policies. When we tell the trial lawyers ENOUGH! ANd when we start teaching our children to accept responsibility.
