  Can Witnesses Do That?

  by Dutchie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this week is spring break for school children and so my kids are home this week.

  while i was at work yesterday some witnesses paid a visit to my home and tried to talk my 14 year old son into having a bible study.

  when my son politely refused, saying that he could not commit to a study without first asking permission of his parents, they told him that they knew many children who had defied their parents to study with the witnesses and come to meetings.

  i am watching the news and it was just reported that michael jackson adopted a biracial baby about three weeks ago.

  he has a nanny for the other two children, but the baby proved to much for one nanny.

  michael told her that she could have a helper with the stipulation that it be one of jehovahs witnesses.

  GOVERNING BODY'S PLAN TO GROW YOUNGER

  by Dutchie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since the sect's leadership had painted itself into a corner a change had to come about.

  governing body members were required to be of the "anointed" class, composed of men who became witnesses as adults before the year 1935. this excludes younger men, and limits the governing body to an older group each year.

  few men in their 80s or 90s are up to running a corporation.. during the mid-1990s the witnesses attempted to sidestep the problem by beginning to appoint a few younger men who had earlier declared themselves to be of the anointed.

  2. humour

  a man boards an airplane and takes his seat.

  as he settles in, he glances up and sees the most beautiful woman boarding the plane.. he soon realizes she is headed straight toward his seat.

  a wave of nervous anticipation washes over him.

  If Russell Were Alive Today He'd Be DF'd For

  by Dutchie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just thinking that if charles taze russell were alive today he wouldn't even recognize the religion he started.

  in fact, many of the things he did are now disfellowshippable offenses.

  for instance, he had a christmas tree in the bethel home and he wore a beard.
