i just caught someone mentioning it on the jw topix forum when discussing the door-to-door field ministry in a thread.
is this a secret publication that is used in pioneer school?
if so, why is it secret?
I remember we were blown away being taught to make return visits 2 days after the initial contact. jws just don't followup on rvs that fast; usually wait until they forget what the person even looked like, assuming they made note of their name.
Blondie, how many pioneers observe this principle and make an RV that quickly? I know the ones in our area were pretty quick to return, but I don't think it was 2 days, more like a week later.
as some of you know, i have been taking koine greek classes.
it is very challenging but i am starting to understand the language (which is a pretty cool thing).
i am writing an exam on monday, so you can think of me sweating it out!
NO!!..My mom used to make me,eat my vegetables!..Now I have to wish you well on a Greek Exam?!..When does the madness stop?!..I`m not going to eat vegetables!..Or..Wish you well on your Greek Exam!.....Outlaw, eat your vegetables! Don't you know they will make you big and strong? And less carnivorous looking... Thanks everyone else. I am a bit nervous about remembering where to put all the accents and breathing marks. Like any language, there are many exceptions to the patterns, and so I have made up silly little phrases to remember them. I also drew little pictures on my vocabulary flash cards to help me remember the words. Stick figures come in really handy at times. As for the translation exercises, my brain starts to hurt after a while... | ||
Wish you well... perhaps one day you could help some of us comprehend better which manuscripts are superior... received text or the vatican ms on which the diaglott/nwt is based of... I am sure your opinion would not be biased as some of the opinions out there that tend to side with either ms depending on their beliefs... Tsar robles, the more I study, the more I realize how little I know. That is a really great thing, in my opinion! It also gives me greater respect for the scholars, and greater understanding of the complexities of translation work. One thing I do know, however, is that the NWT is a twisted version. | ||
'already done 4 and one more to come next summer'Sad emo: Good for you! How are you using your knowledge? | ||
Is "my Greek exam" code for anything? Just kidding! Very cool and good luck! MattYes, it is code for "I thought this would be a fun thing to do...what on earth was I thinking?????" But seriously, it is sharpening my thinking skills, and so that is a good result. | ||

TS
are you pretty much the same here as you are in real life??
?.
Well, it is hard to say, not knowing how people perceive my online personality.
The real me is talkative, friendly, outgoing, and quite opinionated on things that are important to me. I don't think that is how I come across here, but who knows?
why are we here on date nite, all the singles????.
big d.
I ate too many ranch tortilla chips while watching Nanny McPhee and now my stomach is in rebellion, so I am reading posts and waiting for it to settle down.
Mincam, you don't sound too good. I hope it will pass soon.
it was great fun.
i rigged up a fog machine on the porch and spent the evening scaring small children.
you can't get a better night imo.
Here in our neck of Canada, there was a nasty rain storm that blew in horizontally putting a quick end to the door to door work of collecting candy. It seems that it usually a miserable night where we live (either rain or snow).
We ourselves don't actually "do" Halloween, but the kids were busy with music rehearsals and youth activities (where they had a pumkin carving contest). At both locations, they chowded down on candy, plus I always buy some for them anyway so they won't feel hard done by. Usually we go out for supper and then do something fun like bowling. They look forward to it every year.
take the test and see .
i remember in high school, i was able to type at 40 words per minute after counting my errors, and they way they counted it, if i remember well, was your total words minus the errors you made to give an approximate speed.. here is the test.
it's only a fun quiz so don't be mad if i type faster than you .
| Net Speed: | 67 WPM (words/minute) |
| Accuracy: | 89% |
| Gross Speed: | 75 WPM (words/minute) |
And that was with my toes! Is there a prize for the winner?
well, i've known the truth about the witnesses for over two years.
and i've been pretending to be one ever since.
i'm sure most of us did that for a period of time, some longer than others.. i think it has changed my personality, especially since i've been a teenager the whole time.. .
2 words: Exit Counseling!
I think this would be really valuable for anyone who had lived a double life, to help them readjust to the outside world.
Maybe you've never had to worry about it because no one has shown any interest, but if any have, or taken the mags out of politeness, do you ever go back on your own to warn them?
What about having business cards with Don't Believe This Magazine and the web address of JWD and just slip them into the mag before you hand them over to the householder? It does have the potential for backfiring, though. Or keep the address of the person and mail an anonymous note.

the lamb weeping in the corner from many tragedies never acknowledged, was not a concern.
Mono: that is a heartbreaking analogy
I have to say, I do worry about the harm that comes to you guys that are living a double life, and the long term affects this will have on you down the road...
i opened my myspace and received this letter:.

Yikes! I vote scam.
These other proposal stories are so pathetic. It sounds like they haven't figured out that girls in our society are looking for more than a business arrangement!
But I kind of feel sorry for B-D's brother...with that kind of reputation, his best bet will be to post on a date site like "Partners in the Truth" or some other such avenue.
