there is a rumour (from someone who should know better) that members of the gb are going round saying that the preaching work is accomplished.
this comes from a seniour elder and i therefore take it a bit more seriously than some sources.. if this is true then it kinda links in with the reduction of the half awake and the watch slightly-higher-mound-look-out magazines.. has any one else heard anything?.
I thought I had some very clever slogans they could use..... couldn't anyone think of more?
PREACHIN'S OVER FOR SURE-NOW YOU'RE GONNA BE MANURE
THE PREACHING WORK IS DONE-NOW YOU BETTER RUN
THE PREACHING WORK IS THROUGH-WE AIN'T GONNA BURY YOU
THE PREACHING WORK IS THROUGH-NOW ARMAGEDDON WILL GET YOU

Oooh, I like it.
I remember "Stay alive 'till '75."That one got lots of people on the edge of their seats, selling their houses and pioneering-that is, until 75 came and went and nothing happened.
I think they may have something new here to activate the now lethargic publishers. Let's think of a new slogan or two:
THE WORK IS OVER-BETTER TAKE COVER
HOLD STEADY-BIRD FOOD IS READY
NO MORE PREACHING WORK-IF YOU'RE NOT IN YOU'RE A JERK
IF YOU AIN'T BAPTISED-YOU WON'T BE ALIVE
THE ARK DOOR IS SHUT-HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTT
Any more?
there are 23 species of tsetse flies.
diseases transmitted by tsetse flies kill 250,000300,000 people per year.. why create such a thing?.
The tsetse fly is perhaps the only reason Africa may still have some natural areas in the future. The wildlife are not so affectedby the bite; where man has encroached on wild territory with domestic cattle and tried to cultivate wild areas, tsetse flies have held them back.
(go flies!)
are you disfellowshipped, disassociated, active, inactive???

Don't know if my husband and I have been df'd in absentia or not. It's possible we're just "dangerous." Ha! I'm sixty years old and dangerous!
We've sent a really sarcastic letter to the WTS a few months ago...never heard anything. No one has called on our house in about six years-or spoken to us. As long as they leave us alone, it's O.K. with me.
i can rememebr many such silences growing up in the wt.
one that comes to mind was back in the mid 80's.
i was a young twenty something fellow and had gone to the dc in fresno, ca with my parents and my brother.
Once I went to a book study and no one talked to me and my husband. It was strange like not having been invited to your JC and being df'd in absentia.
Wonder why they didn't speak? Did you attempt to speak to them?
Once my husband was giving the talk at a different congregation-I think it was in Daytona, Florida-and a sister came up to me and called me Ms. Quandry. I was so perplexed...weren't we supposed to be sisters? They were a very strange congregation...
i use usualusername as i am not creative enough to think of anything sexier.... .
what significance is there behind your profile name?.

I just didn't know what to think when I first posted here....didn't know what to believe anymore....didn't know what to do after spending over thirty years in the borg...and since I'd come in at 21, I realised that I had virtually wasted so many years of my life going to people's doors to tell them that the generation that was of an age of understanding.... born in 1914....the contemporaries that didn't believe....would be here at the start of Armageddon.
I'd like to say for certain what I believe now, but I still don't really have it all sorted out. I just can't bring myself to join any other religion but don't know fully if evolution (which I do believe) simply means that some sort of symbolic Adam could not have existed. I admire Jesus for his teachings. Well, you get the picture of my name....
i have been thinking about this for weeks!.
nothing short of death will be acceptable to my mother!.
i thought of saying i will go to another cong but my parents know people there so that won't work.. help!.
Ahem....jock itch? They wouldn't want you to scratch where it itches during the meeting.....
first of all, thank you everyone for your advice.
some of it was a bit harsh,.
but it made me scrutinize myself a bit more..but here is the outcome....and i .
I am glad things are working out for your son.
I noted the words "pushchair" and "childminder." I find these words so charming! Here in Texas we say (along with ya'll and howdy) stroller and babysitter. Would you be from UK or Australia? I know those two places are very far apart but both use English and I was wondering which place you are from?
It is starting to warm up in Texaright now it is a beautiful spring, with so much in bloom and temperatures in the 70's and 80's. During the summer it can be hotter that hell!

emailed thank-you note gives pensacola lawyer a blast from past.
attorney joel cohen talks about his experience.
Thanks for posting this article. So nice that she came back to thank the lawyer and that she and her mother are both "out" and happy.
here's a letter that has circulated among many ex-watchtowerites!.
just thought you'd want to know!.
awake!
GB has noted the growing tendency for people TO OBTAIN READING MATERIAL from the Internet
Well, the WTS has dispensed false prophesies for years, but they got this right! Many people are finding out alot more than they started out wanting to know about the WTS by means of the internet...let's hope the trend continues!!!!
