the thought came to me after reading replies to datadogs post on stopping singing at the meetings.. i can suggest a few secret signs for faders to use and to look for at the khall, but it would be better that current meeting attenders make suggestions here.

if readers on this site can agree to a secret sign to use at the meetings, just imagine the power that would have at your kingdom hall.

I keep my eyes open during prayers.

I have noticed one sister at my hall who also does. Very odd, because otherwise she doesn't seem to be a fader or give any hint that she's not 100% JW.

wifey says she wants to go to see the special effects.

i suspect she wants to go to see russell crowe.

if you want to see special effects watch gravity.

Shador

eh. doubt I'll blow money on it. I may hunt it up on .... places a few days after it comes out on DVD or whatnot, just to see what the fuss is.

**this was predicted from some members here**.

to all congregations .

re: adjustments in organizational terminology and assembly arrangements .

Yay! 1 less day of wasting time and money.

Wish they'd went and cut the district regional conventions down to 2 days at the same time, but hey. Maybe in a few years.

Yea, I had heard about this. I love the show, and even more so after I knew this.

It gives me sort of a kick to know that my uber-JW parents love AP also. If they only knew....

Satan And The Demons

by sojourner7 in

greetings.. i was wondering if someone could tell me according to wt theology, what happens to satan and the demons?

are they also annihilated or do they experience eternal punishment?

thanks!.

Shador

First they're locked up for 1000 years. Then they're let out again for a bit for some reason or other. Then they're annihilated.

TATTOOS and da troof - DOES the babble teach what WT claims?

by hamsterbait in

jw
friends

they love to quote the verse "you must not make tattoo markings upon yourself," to "prove" that witlesses should not have body art.. yet the word tattoo is maori in origin.

how the hell did moses know a maori word???.

in every other translation it says you must not make cutting marks.

Shador

Yea. It's about as much a "personal decison" as having a beard.

ETA: Yea, see when they use those OT verses, they're always careful to say "well we're not under the Law" - this way they can keep what they want (no tattoos, no blood, no women in charge) and discard what they don't (no eating pigs, no cutting off your beard).

Remember what they said at the assembly today...

by lrkr in

so, the wife and i are reminiscing today about how when you would leave an assembly- you would struggle to remember just one interesting point.

usually- you had to look at your notes or the program to just remember 1 thing that struck you.

all day of talking and less than :30 seconds of information retained!!!.

Shador

Personally I don't pay one bit of attention at all. But it makes for great day-long naps.
