per a letter sent to all special pioneers in the us:.
previously the society reimbursed the special pioneers at a flat rate of x cents per mile, to cover the cost of gasoline and maintenance on their cars.
if i recall correctly, it may even have been the standard irs allowable deduction, something like 40-50 cents per mile.. beginning in 2010, the society will reimburse for mileage only, and strictly follow a mathematical formula, using:.

had our co visit last month.
normally the guy has all the charisma and charm of ben stein from "ferris buhler's day off", but he managed to give a talk that was actually coherent one night.. here is the rough outline:.
the theme was about the difference between "justice", "mercy", and "undeserved kindness".. situation 1: adam and eve sinned.
In Noah's day.What have the animals done to deserve justice(death).

pledge forms will be issued to all brothers & sisters requesting for donations for k.h.,assembly halls,reno of k.h.etc.they did give some poor excuse as why this was necessary.my guess is that the brothers who made interest free loans to the wbts are asking for these loans back because of all the layoffs and the down turn in the economy.. bob.

just had lunch with a inactive jw friend of mine who is well on her way out.
she said that when the she went to the kingdom hall the week of the circuit overseers visit, he said from the platform, that if anyone had done any wrong doing in the past, no matter how long ago, and had never come forward to tell the elders, then they would not make it into the new system, but would rather die at armegedon!!.
i guess after that talk the elders were inindated and they began privately, and publically reproving, and removing ones!!
I just love to hear a C.O. talk like that because brain dead sheep will go to the slaughter.

Some answers,people were first given a choice,They did not kill indiscriminately."men of Israel's army were not allowed to rape women or engage in wanton slaughter"Try reading 1 Sam.15:3 and tell me that killing babies is not wanton slaughter also killing all animals.Deut.20:10-15 killing only males included male babies and the women are treated as property.

hi folks,.
i have a real serious question that i hope you will be able to help me with.. in the 4-1-1986 watchtower, pages 30-31 it talks about "approved association".
what i'm seeking your opinion about is this: if a baptized jw is deemed to not be an 'approved associate' at some point (due to his having developed a divergent view regarding one or more of the watchtower's unique teachings) does his 'not being an approved associate' mean that the watchtower society no longer considers him to be a jw?
Yeah you get the shift,the R&F are brainwashed not to associate with you.The WBTS religion has unique beliefs as you stated "beliefs that are unique to J.W." that is why they have two WT'S one for the public and one for the members only because of their unique beliefs that the public does not understand.Why would the public when those things are not in the bible.

question :.
why is 'pioneering' a 'privilege' when every jw goes out in ministry anyway.
even those who have lost privileges, or been disciplined, or been reinstated after being disfellowshipped are still expected to go out in the ministry.
What is the matter with todays pioneers,when you look at the last 10 years of C.A. & SAD no one gets baptised but the children of J.W.(maybe some outsiders but they are few and far in between).Their service is to please man or I should say the GB/F Slave.Noboby but nobody is that inept or unproductive as J.W.pioneers.They should go green and not polute the Earth ,just park your cars.

--read 1 john 3:16.. comments.
q 18, 19. how should we view any counsel that we receive from a christian friend, and what example did the ephesus.
why not the david example here...david's servants and family had to know.. q 21. what will all of us do at times, but why is it vital that we maintain strong friendships in the congregation?.
Thanks,Blondie
I can not believe this S#$#%.Why do they always say "people of the world do not love God".Many people of the so called "world" show more love to one another that is true friendship and love God more than the phony love that Jehovah's Witnesses show to one another.
