Hi Gayle, I like your idea about publishers visiting the islands in that month, but wouldnt the publishers send their stats back to their home country, rather than putting in a local report?

Interestingly in the presentation section it gives options to offer 'this months offer of the Watchtower' or 'this months offer of the Awake'. I thought starting in January there would only be one of the magazines available and the other magazine being published and offered the next month. -

I went to London recently and as I came up out of Westminster underground station there they were. I stayed in the area for 15 mins taking tourist pics and as far as I could see, not one person took anything from them or even spoke to them. -

I guess we just have to be thankful that the courts now seem to be protecting the kids from this destructive cult, overturning the parents wishes to let their kids die.

Totally agree Terry. I have retired now, and was in fact able to retire six years early because of so many inprovements in my life. I marvel every day about how lucky I am to be living at this time. In my view the BEST time in human history.

I tried to make an elder feel guilty for shunning his 2 children.
by Jeannette ini ran into an elder the other day at walmart.
he's a fairly good man and has a wife that is very sickly.
so sickly in fact i don't know how she's holding on.

I think as well it makes a difference why the children were disfellowshipped. Was it really because they were totally unrepentant sinners, or did they simply say they no longer wished to be JWs. Or maybe they were disfellowshipped for something the bible says nothing about, like smoking maybe. JWs have a long list of their very own rules which the bible says nothing about.

The Faithful Slave - An Obvious Question I Haven't Heard Asked
by berrygerry insince the big 7 have appropriated this "blessed" title for themselves, and disavowed the existence of this slave prior to 1919, an obvious question comes up.. was it not the apostate maria russell that proffered that ctr was "the slave," and was the coiner of the term "the faithful slave"?.
if the slave did not come into existence until 1919, then how was it possible that prior to 1919 that anyone knew that it existed, or would have been able to foretell that it would come into existence?.
was maria a prophetic apostate?.

Anything wrong with what was written or what was said by the bibkle students before 1919 has now been trashed. The society now say that God was not using them or guiding them before 1919. At a stroke they can now say that Russell was just a keen bible student. They have had to distance themselves from him because he got most things wrong.

How to capitalise on recent unwise appointment with my wife.
by disposable hero of hypocrisy ina brother was appointed recently in the cong, he's got a dodgy history, doesn't really have the respect of many in the cong.
it's surprising to me, but i don't really care, good for him.
my wife, on the other hand, is angry!

The link below shows the socirties view of being appointed by holy spirit. However any appointment is based on what the person appears to be, not necassarily what is in his heart. So it is perfectly possible for a sex abuser or someone with an undesirable trait to be appointed.
