  Remember the Wife of Lot

  by Addison0998 in

  for family worship last night, our family watched remember the wife of lot movie since it will be discussed in the meeting this week.

  there’s a few things i noticed that i didn’t think about last time i watched it.. first, the dad is very of course against his daughters going to college or even trying to find a good job.

  yet he does accounting, which is a very good job that almost always requires a college education.

  Remember the wife of Lot? Why should we. Lot forgot about her in a matter of days.

  The bridge

  so my father, who is an active jehovah’s witness, told me yesterday of an experience currently doing its rounds amongst the witnesses in relation to cart witnessing.

  there is a bridge called ‘the bridge’ which is a well known place for people committing suicide.

  apparently the jws have been setting up there literature carts there for a while now and ever since they have there has been no more suicide attempts from the bridge.

  So let me get this straight:

  Jehovah sends his cart workers to a 'suicide' bridge to save lives, while over the years hundreds of Bethelite's have had 'nervous breakdowns' and some of them have committed suicide right under Jehovah's nose at the 'House of God'? Not a very efficient life saving system if you ask me.

  Eisenhower was never a Billionaire. According to Wikipedia, List of Presidents of the United States by net worth, at his death he was worth $9,000,000.00 in 2016 dollars. Calculated back to 1969 dollars (the time of his death) he would have been worth approximately $1,350,000.00.

  How many wrongs make a right?

  came across this little gem while my wife was "digging for bible gems" in her weekly meeting preparation.

  nothing new but i gently pointed it out to her as a reminder that bible reading can be hazardous to your mental health!.

  do 2 (or 3, or 4) wrongs, make a right?

  Cart work faces headwinds.

  2. scandals

  my little bethel bird has whispered in my ear some encouraging news.

  it has been reported to the canadian branch that some witnesses doing cart work had police stop them from carting in public parks.

  the direction sent to the southern ontario congregations is to cease carting until further notice.. this is no joke.. have a jw-free day..

  My Pioneer partner from over 47 years ago had one of these; as did his father and brother. Even though all of Watchtowers publications can be accessed on tablet, he still brings one of these to every meeting. It is full of books but he uses his tablet during the meeting. I believe that it is an Alpha Elder 'status' thing and perhaps he is making up for other male shortcomings.
