just spoke to an elder at the carts, whilst discussing the gb (faithful slave) he informs me they are nowpart of the 'domestics'?
anyone have any 'new light' on this?.
When the individuals on the Governing Body meet collectively and decide doctrine, they are the 'Faithful Slave' serving food at the proper time.
When the individual members are not collectively meeting as the 'Faithful Slave' then they become domestics receiving 'food at the proper time'.
It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase: 'self-serving individuals.'
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.
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.
what is the strangest picture drawn or other you ever saw in a jw article?.
"Lest we forget" oh Slim one, "Yes, lest we forget!"
does anyone have a pdf down load for the pamphlet .
prohibition and the league of nations.
i am an active witness that has visited this site a few times over the years.
i am interested in talking with current or recently transitioned away witnesses.
feel free to email me on here or i talk with witnesses on google hangouts or skype too.

but for now i have a question.
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.

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!.

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..
