just about every church i know of does something for the poor and needy around this time of year, who are not necessarily christians or members of their church.
from helping prisoners to delivering food hampers to visiting the lonely and elderly to helping poor people and children overseas, most churches i'm aware of do at least something to materially help the suffering in the community, home and abroad, regardless of their religious orientation.
many of these churches have programmes providing such assistance all year around, even many catholic churches.. but what do the jw's do to actually practically help the suffering and poor at this time of year, or ever?
This used to always bug me. The argument is that the Kingdom will solve these problems
I totally agree! Never quite understood the logic of preaching to someone who was hungry, and not doing anything to help out their situation.
J-Dubs don't build schools, or hospitals, yet still they go to these institutions making specialized demands.
haven't read the posts on the other thread yet - will do so asap.
in the meantime, had a long day myself, did not got for a walk, worked nine hours without a break!
busy day, had breakfast, only a yogurt for lunch, was glad to come home and have a bowl of cereal.
Is this where the WEEKLY WEIGH IN will be? Do we celebrate our losses on Monday?
for those of you attending kingdom hell meetings, let us know how this.
(yawn) exciting change goes over.
let us know how many speakers went .
Because of "control" issues, it won't be long before the org has satellite hook ups from the mother ship to all KHalls. Public Talks, Instruction Talks, and Special Announcements.
But wouldn't you need people with "advanced" education to do that sort of linkup?

Material will now be 100% outline and 0% independent research and entertaining anecdotes
Yeh, nothing tastier than spiritual food with no seasonings.
did antone notice that the km insert doesn't display the upcoming district assembly theme?
what do you think it will be?
We're tiny, we're toony. We're all a little loony .... oh wait, you said THEME! I thought you said "theme song"... sorry.
the dress code that the society imposes on the women has been a thorn in my side ( manner of speaking).
theses old men dictate how a women should dress and i do mean "a dress".
i can remember when i lived in connecticut and the temp would be in single digits and when it came time for field service you must put on that dress.
Last year when the CO came he made a remark that the sisters are not to wear any spandex tops due to lack of modesty
ROTFLMAO!!!!!
Did he suggest that brothers wear them instead?
here it is guys.
this is what darth frosty was talking about in his post the other day (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/149460/1.ashx).
this is a collection of confidential letters from the watchtower society that were sent to the bodies of elders in the years 1981 through 2006. these are the letters that you were never meant to see or read.. there's all sorts of information in them ranging from the boring and mundian to instructions about how to handle child molesters.. many thanks to darth frosty and others (who i'm not sure can be named) who worked very hard and took risks to collect and scan the information.
I was asleep mere seconds after clicking on the link.
LOL!
Don't thank me, thank Priest ... he discovered it. But hey, don't fall asleep on it yet. Have a look around, especially at the "guest book"! LOL!
Whip up some info from http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/gen-female-sw-us.php and put in a fake FS or bible study report!

We have an official Internet Web site: www.watchtower.org. This site is adequate to make information available to the public. There is no need for any individual, committee, or congregation to prepare a Web page about Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Oh yeah? Then how come they haven't had a serious chat with this guy .... http://crlwk.com/aboutme.aspx
so it's january 1 and i want to lose ten pounds in ten weeks.
i've been on a diet for a year and a half and have lost 130 pounds.
weight loss has slowed down, so i need more focus and more exercise.
Are we having a "Weekly-Weigh-In" on January 7th?
If you're not comfortable with posting your actual weight, you could just post your loss.
jh posted a thread about how wikipedia clearly shows how goofy the doctrine of jw's has been in changing over the years.
so it makes me wonder could wikipedia be the driving force in the no "independent" study?
i know that my whole family uses wikipedia often and use it as a respected source when researching things.
many are so delusional that anything they read that is negative about the organization is obviously slander.....
Don't forget "demonized" .....
