Pink slips at Bethel
by beavis indoes anyone still have any friends at bethel?
it seems that there is a massive layoff at bethel in all three american complexes.
the layoff is supposed to affect everyone between the ages of 35-50 or maybe 60. i feel sorry for persons who chose to stay there, they gave up going to college, possible job offers or making a decent amount of money, having children, the list can go on and on.

Did the Jehovah's Witnesses ever FORCE us to become part of their cult? NO. Misled yes. But we had a choice.
Hitler. He on the other hand FORCED executions...you had no choice.
You cannot compare the two. One was led by Satan.

THE US did not do enough to protect the borders. How many million mexicans you got now? 12 Million? Now what? Kick them all out? Impossible I think. The other recourse is just to keep em here and close the border off. That way everyone is happy. If these commit a crime, deport em.
Mexico should give the US funds to support them as well. The only reason they are here is because the mexican gov. is so corrupt. These have millions!!!

FUNERAL DISCOURSE
REMARKS REGARDING THE DECEASED (Use any that apply and are appropriate.)
(Note: Instead of eulogizing the deceased, use the material in this outline to give a fine witness concerning the truth. Good balance should be observed in this respect. Doctrinal points can be presented as beliefs of the deceased, which served as motivation for him. Purpose of talk is to uphold Jehovah God as a God of love and mercy and at the same time bring comfort to the bereaved. Use of a song such as No. 102 (53) or 187 (93) is optional. A brief prayer at the close is fitting. When arrangement is made to go to the grave, it is well to consider quite briefly the hope through Kingdom, reading one or two scriptures, such as Job

For the anointed, resurrection is to heavenly life (1 Cor. -54; Rev. 20:4, 6)
"Other sheep" resurrected to life in earthly (Luke ; John )
Armageddon survivors can hope to see the deceased one again soon
Others too are in line for resurrection (Acts 24:15)
WHY IT IS GOOD TO GO TO HOUSE OF MOURNING
Can comfort the bereaved; loss is mutual
Take to heart uncertainty of life (Ps. 90:12; Eccl. 7:2)
Makes us think about how we are using our life
HOW WE CAN BENEFIT FROM BEING HERE
While living, make good name with Jehovah God (Eccl. 7:1)
Lay up treasures in heaven (Matt. -21)
One way is to take zealous part in witness work, if qualified (Matt. 24:14; 28:19, 20)

La esperanza de la resurrección sirve de incentivo para aprender la voluntad divina y ponerla en práctica (1 Cor. 15:58)
(Nota: En vez de elogiar en exceso al difunto, la información de este discurso debe suministrar un excelente testimonio tocante a la verdad. Se debe ejercer buen juicio al respecto. Los puntos doctrinales pueden presentarse como creencias del difunto, las cuales le sirvieron de motivación. El propósito del discurso es poner en alto a Jehová Dios como el Dios de amor y misericordia, y al mismo tiempo consolar a los que han perdido a un ser querido. El usar un cántico, como el núm. 102 (53) o el 187 (93), es opcional. Es apropiado concluir con una oración corta. Cuando se hacen arreglos para ir al lugar de entierro, es bueno considerar brevemente la esperanza que hay por medio del Reino y leer uno o dos textos, tales como Job 14:14, 15 y 1 Corintios 15:54b-57. Este servicio también puede concluirse con una oración en la que se da gracias a Jehová por la esperanza de la resurrección, la cual sirve de gran consuelo. No es necesario que el discurso dure más de 30 minutos.)

Could a Baptism be Null and Void based on Circumstances?
by Good Girl or Bad Girl? inwhat if you get baptized as a minor?
does it really legally hold up?
or how about it if your baptism has basically felt like a fraud to you because you did it for the wrong reasons?

I guess it's like when you work for someone... They will keep records on you until the business goes down under. That is how the WTBTS works. All the Bethelites applications are kept forever. Hell, they even have Knorr's bethel application on display.
seems like what is keeping is many from a complete fade is that damm publisher card.
