ok i've been away for many many years i think i'm going to go to a big 4 day assembly this year for old time's sake.
i have several questions.
first of all what color are the food tickets this year?
dude
the chariot left you ... even us apostas and others try to keep up..
anyhow...no more tickets, no more food, don't save too many seats cause the attendants will get upset and you don't want that, all literature is on contribution basis, the 4 day is down to 3 day. hope that helps. most def others will chime in..
BY THE WAY.....WELCOME EAGLES!!!
ok i've been away for many many years i think i'm going to go to a big 4 day assembly this year for old time's sake.

i see a lot of talk on this site about all the money wt is making or trying to save.
is there evidence that the governing body or other higher ups are being enriched financially?
i've never heard of anyone getting paid anything for their work within the organization.
I was at Bethel for over a decade. I saw how the $$$ was used. Let us not forget the GB really think they are/represent the faithful and discreet slave - they sincerely believe that ... somehow their conscience won't let them misuse the widows mite as it were. I wish their consience was better tunned though.
After the Branch Comm took over the management of the US Bethel they really hit the departments hard in regards to wasting money. Everything started to get streamlined after that, we are talking since 2000.
After morning worship they would give talks on saving electricty, saving water, etc etc.
Their mindset is ONLY the WORLDWIDE WORK. That is it, nothing else. Publish Publish Publish books books books mags mags mags # # #. They don't give a damm if a widow or an orphan is in need. They will print so many publications that eventually will be thrown out, but the widow and the the orphan will be in want. What a sin! Thanks Russell!!! Thank you for that legacy of your priting empire.
The GB and the higher ups don't own brand new cars but they have a stash of cars for society use ... as was said, airport runs, etc. And of course hotels.
BUT REMEMBER... the leader of the Watchtower is Ted Jaracz. And Ted Jaracz IS NOT A SPENDER!!! He is very picky about spending the widows mite.
last night just proved to me just that.
as i sat there last night while the speaker kept going on,.
and on, i zoned out.
that was deep ... we are here for you.
it's so easy!
just identify your problems - and then assert the opposite!
are you alcoholic?
i totally agree Metatron...
they try to make unpleasurebale things pleasureable ... like meetings, service, etc.
Don't wok no mo WT! at least not for me.
tuesday - (this is when i observed jesus' last supper)
jesus ate an evening meal with his disciples, at the beginning of nisan 14, biblical reckoning, and instituted the nes covenant's symbols.
matthew 26:26-28) jesus was then betrayed by jesus, arrested and during the night brought before the high priest.
i find it spooky that his post was #144. I think Freddi is one of the annointed
i've noticed on many memorial nights that the sisters will dress up like they're going to the oscars.
some seriously look like they're going to a prom.. do they dress for jesus or the friends to impress each other?.
what is it about memorial night?
sometimes I forget that us here are from all over the world ...
in my area of the world ... the girls wear short and tight dresses, it was a very memorial event Actually we had a few brookes at our hall.
many here have been reproved or disfellowshiped for asking questions about the bible and the jw interpretation of it.. after encouraging the asking of questions, one of the newest wt publications states: "others worry that asking questions could lead to shame or embarrassment.
and some decide that such questions are best left to religious leaders and teachers.
that quote is found in the first chapter of the new publication that all congregations will begin studying each week at their congregation book study.
uh uh let me try ... could it be... just maybe the WT??
backing away from 1914?
i think not.. may 1, 2006 wt third study article on page 27, paragraph 2 and 3 state:.
"2. almost 30 years after that pentecost in 33 c.e., the apostle paul confirmed that christ had not yet taken full kingdom power, but he was "at the right hand of god, from then on awaiting until his enemies should be placed as a stool for his feet.
regards to JW dates...they all wac anyway .... just like they say ... "we will know the exact fullfilment of scripture AFTER the damm things is fullfilled".... read your own damm writings and stop setting dates damit!!!! and stop getting ahead of the chariot. The WTS needs to remove all of their dates.
im posting for brooke, cause she is in the middle of a bet, and cant post till may 3rd.
and we know how determined she can be.
she wont loose.
i think she wanted to make sure she had the middle finger as her focal point...at least that is what someone told me...all I see are boobs ...anyone see anything else but boobs???
