the local hall just gave a local needs talk on not circulating losch's talk that's been here on the internet as well as in a number of witness hands.
evidently quite a few jws are listening to the tape, making copies and letting everyone hear it.
well, the "faithful & discreet slave" has said not to do this any longer.
The real funny thing about this is, if there were 100,000+ witlesses in attendance that day....listening...they would say how wonderful it was that, "so many are here in attendance!"
Yet, now, they don't want any dubs to hear exactly what was said! Gymbob
the watchtower soc and others say that the bible teaches that jehovah is allowing time to pass so that evidence can build up to prove that man cannot live and govern himself independently of god.
the argument is made that god has tolerated wickedness so that the evidence can gradually accumulate against satan's claim that god's might does not necessarily give him the right to rule and that man can rule himself successfully without god's direct governance.
when armageddon breaks out, it is said that the evidence will be conclusive that man could not rule himself independently of god and the devil's claims were false.. the analogy is put forward that this drama is being played out like some great universal court case in heaven, with judges sitting examing evidence being presented to assess the devil's claims.
Somebody should write the script and send it to Hollywood...it would make a great movie! Gymbob
(see my original thread - "i received the knock on the door.
") the 2 ladies came back to the door today, to give me the gift of a basket of fruit!
they said they didn't want to leave a bad taste, and we can still love our neighbors!

I think you made some progress with them, at least they're thinking about you!
So are they going to keep coming over, or did you just agree to disagree on religious issues?

there's a phrase: .
"the gov body quietly considered expelling those judged too obese" .
There was a woman in my cong. a few years back who must have weighed 350+.
I remember one evening during the meeting she got up to go in the back to visit the ladies room. When she returned to her seat (in the front row) she had some toilet paper stuck to her rear and her skirt was tucked into her underwear! By the time one of the other woman in the hall caught her, she had already given everyone a real view of the fattest ass I have ever seen.
That sight has haunted me for years......
i have never been there, but i am thinking about going to trader joes sometime soon.
if you have been there, what did you buy?
do you like them?
A great thread to bump.....
when i was a missionary, and sometimes bethelite, i was given a key that worked to get in almost all buildings.
it's called the "bethel key" and if i remember correctly you have to sign for it, and you have to agree you will not make a copy.
anyway, i felt like i had the keys to the kingdom when i had that key.
Oh yea, bethel card keys....they are soooo progressive.

I still have some of the invitations given to the bethel family for gilead graduation.
If I combine that with a couple dollars, I can get a cup of coffee at Starbucks! GYMBB
