  Advice From Any Gardeners Out There

  by Clam in

  2. friends

  i'm looking to plant a new tree in my garden and wonder if there's anyone out there in jwd land who can give me some advice.

  the area is pretty sunny and quite sheltered although we do have strong winds around here in the winter.

  it also sometimes freezes.

  Thanks folks!

  Why bother! Armageddon's coming!

  Fokyc no my bet is that my tree will outlive the WTS, but if I'm wrong then the Dubs can enjoy it in the new system. I'm that nice a guy.

  Purps they're lovely trees, and they're the flowering pears you spoke about? If I can find one they look ideal.

  Great links Jeff and Rachel. Thanks. That plant finder is really handy Rachel.

  Juni I like maples but I'm worried they'd be too susceptible to wind damage. I'll speak to the people at the nusrery about it.

  Emo yes the Rowan is another good option. I'll look into how fast it can grow.

  Carla I've already got a flowering crab and the magnolia I don't think will be big enough but thanks anyway.

  Cheers again

  There is a rich deep top soil and a clay substrate. Ideally the tree should be quite fast growing but will not exceed 30 feet. I don't want to plant conifers if I can help it. Any ideas?

  Why am I still surprised at these?

  compound complex has a thread that starts with the words persecution wanes.

  in it he states:.

  "after the judge's death, as world war ii was ending and persecution against the witnesses began declining, along .

  WTS is just a book publishing company that wants as much free advertising and free labor and free salesmen as possible. It's all about selling books

  It sure is OnTheWayOut; and in pursuit of its ruthless commercial endeavour it tears families apart. If a "salesperson" leaves then the Beast becomes angry. Angry at losing potential income. Baptism is akin to signing a commercial contract to work for nothing for the rest of your life. I'm grateful I only wasted part of my life and not all of it, like some of my family who've been peddling books and magazines for over 40 years.

  Would You Recommend A Person Remain A Virgin Before Marriage???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  being raised as a good witness, i was a virgin until i was married.

  of course, the scriptures say one must not commit fornication.

  however, i know most teens have sex well before marriage.

  From the female perspective, having sex for the first time with a man is as they say, like snow. You don't know how long it's going to last and you don't know how many inches you're going to get.

  What would you recommend to Memorial Lurkers?

  by AK - Jeff in

  this is your chance to give some advice to lurkers who may need the courage to push the envelope.. my advice; read raymond franz's books, crisis of conscience and in search of christian freedom.. raymond is not the frothing-at-the-mouth rabid apostate you have been lead to believe he is.

  Greendawn thanks. I didn't know if it was something that had been cribbed from the Adventists again.

  I thought they would be about me and my circumstances, actually. (questions)

  Brother Hathaway - I for one would be interested to know about you and your circumstances. Please tell.

  Jeff I have been thinking along the same lines. I've been trying to find some info about the history of the JW memorial, but haven't been successfull. When did the idea originate to only let the anointed partake? Has the memorial evolved, like many other JW beliefs, ie at the whim of those in control at the time?

  Covering over child abuse in the congregation in the future.

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the case of jehovah's witness 'eunice spry' found guilty of mistreating her foster children has hit the airways all over the world with a vengeance.

  i understand from another poster 'in the know' that there will be another two cases associated with this case that soon will hit the headlines again....... so, do you think that the watchtower society will come down on its elders harshly to prevent them from going to the police in the future with their suspicions, as happened with eunice spry?.

  will there be more 'verbal' instruction to keep any accusations quiet because of the bad press that they must now be heartily sick of?.

  If they're settling out of court regularly at least the active Dubs will know where their money is going. It must be very heartwarming to know that donations are being spent on such worthwhile causes.
