  a few days ago someone asked me what my name meant, 'miss 8572.

  as an unabashed star trek fan i find all the references to the witnesses as "the borg" on this site really charming.

  when coming up with my name i just thought "what is anti-borg?

  I would go with 3 wishes:
  
  1.) Bill Gates dies and leaves me as the sole heir
  2.) I have the ability to time travel
  3.) I find out I am from a planet known as Krypton. With all the powers to boot.

  i forgot about this!

  in the early 70's at bethel, knorr spoke down at breakfast commented about a brooklyn heights news article then about jws, complaining that jws were taking over brooklyn heights.

  he chuckled saying, "we are not only just taking over brooklyn heights, but over the whole world!

  Taking predictions for the 2007 memorial partakers!!

  by cultswatter in

  i'm doing this well in advance so that all the wonderful people on jwd can look back later and see just how close they were to the actual number!

  (it is possible the wts might stop publishing the partaker numbers) in a few days, i will duly record the link to this thread for future reference.. remember that there were 8524 partakers in 2005 and 8758 partakers in 2006, an increase of 234 partakers.

  so how many remnant will partake in 2007??.

  Yes Amber, it is quick. However, I know that when you find a someone who meets your "everything I would like in a mate" list - I have learned not to just watch her walk away for someone else to snag. At the very least I considered the possibilities of the future, and "went down the hall of consequences" as an elder in my hall says.
  
  I will definitely take your advice on having a long discussion about her spiritual goals (mostly listening). This sunday she is visiting my hall, I hope to have her over for supper. Perhaps I will have an update after that.

  The brother didn't follow through on my application of his comments, but it certainly seemed like he wanted to.

  Hey all, here is a dillema that I am facing:
  
  I have been trying to figure out whether I feel that this religion is true enough for me to remain in it. We must admit that there are some good things in the JW religion. However, there are many hypocricies and other problems that plague JWs and other religions too. I am leaning toward getting the hell out of Dodge.
  
  This weekend at the Circuit Assembly, I met an unbaptised sister. We will call her "Sierra". She blew me away, I have met no one else who has made me feel like she did. Also, her friend (who got baptised this weekend) said that Sierra likes me. I get the sinking feeling that she will soon get baptised and probably remain one of JWs. On the other hand, by the fact that she has not gotten baptised yet (and is of age to do so) seems to say that she is not jumping on the boat.
  
  So my internal struggle is whether I should stick around for her. If Sierra does want to remain a JW and I don't, then marriage would be next to impossible. I would be willing to stay for her, but it would be a hard life to live. If she does not want to be a JW, then things would be great. However, it is impossible to ask without suffering the chance of loss. To lose her would be hard. I haven't posted my story yet, but let me say that my timing is always bad. I have had many heartaches.

  I just went to the circuit assembly (from here out: CA). I am a pioneer, thus I get the added priviledge of going to the Friday Pio meeting. This meeting was much more entertaining than the actual CA. Here are some highlights:
  
  One brother made an odd but stunningly true statement. While talking about elders being imperfect, he mentioned about not getting upset with these "gifts in men". He put it this way: "What did the momma whale say to the baby whale? When you go to the top and blow off steam, that is when you will most likely get harpooned." So true! When you tell the elders that they did a crapshoot job of following the course of wisdom, usually you walk away with a harpoon in your back.
  
  Another brother made a humorous mistake. He was discussing Matt 22:23-28 for some reason or other. He was saying how each of the seven brothers die one after the other. He did not want to say it that way, so instead he wanted to say successively. However, he said "successfully", which is kind of funny. "so each of the brothers died successfully." Ah the wonders of the english language. (we all laughed, and he did not get the joke)
