Having Bible studies to make you strong
by dobbie inhow many times in the religion were you offered a bible study to build yourself up again?i have been thinking about it and i think i must hold the current title for this cos apart from the first study which brought me in i have had at least seven others!everytime i got 'weak' i'd be offered yet another study with some sister to help me - and one is trying to get me to have another one but i've had 2 with her b4!
!personally i think that with all these studies under my belt i don't think another one is going to help me much do you!

African JWs Can Keep "Messianic" Attire Because It's There Culture!
by minimus inmy mom went to the sunday meeting and a missionary that was formerly in the congregation was showing (boring) slides about the "work" in africa.
when he showed some pictures of some witnesses, they were dressed in what he called "messianic attire".
he told the audience that it was no big deal that they were being allowed to continue this style of dress by the society since it was merely seen as "cultural".
