Actually, it may not be "blessed more", but "blessed at all".

Do zealous dubs think they will be blessed more?
by JH inas a dub, were you under the impression that the more you served the watchtower org., the more god would bless you in the new system?
the more you were involved serving god as a jw, the more blessings you'd receive in the new system, or were you under the impression that everybody would be blessed equally, no matter how much they did, as long as they survived armageddon.. could this explain why some are more zealous than other in the org?
thinking they will blessed more than those who did less.. .

The ULTIMATE APOLOGIA
by Terry inthe most complicated, transcendant (outside of time and space) mind in the universe is the universe.. that is an antimony, by the way.. this mind we can call "god".
it simply "is".. what the consciousness of this mind considers is more real than the dreams we have or the plans we make.. that is the premise of what follows.
read on..... this mind (all) is considering creating heavens and earth.

Everything that we think has happened hasn't happened. Not really. But, so enormously fertile and magnificent is the imagination of this MIND (God) that even the characters of thought (us) THINK we are real.
Us being a "chip of the old block" of God's mind are able to produce the same effect...
Picture a field.... put a horse in it....put a man in it.....put a woman walking towards him.....they meet.....
What does she say to him ?
You have created in your minds... now you are observing your creation. The conscious "you" didn't tell the woman what to say - it simply observed it.

alphaomega's chart was fascinating. I knew nvr posted frequently - didn't know how much. Didn't know how much I was posting either!
Hortensia, you can get the charts from clicking on the "Statistics" option at the top.
I scared myself about how many post I make a day recently !
That is nothing compared to the year chart.

I have donated in the past, however I recently found out that I am no longer able to give blood...............
reason...........
Mad Cow Disease. If you've lived in the UK between 1980 and 1996 then you can not donate blood due to the risk of carrying this disease.............I was stunned :(
I give blood. In the UK !!!! I've not heard of that before - I guess that they must thingk that there is no harm giving it to those already infected !! Moo !

I'm sorry Warlock...
I'm sorry for all those moments that we never shared together,
I'm sorry that you have such a cool avatar,
I'm sorry that you have the sole right to use that flappy-bat thing and I feel guilty when my cursor even hovers over it,
Hang on... the last two are jealousy...
Oh well, the first should do it.

At this year's assembly day, the formula that was hammered home in nearly every talk was...
Sacrifice leads to blessings !
A man was out made redundant... he was offered a job, but it's hours conflicted with meetings !! So he refused it.... Guess what? He received "blessings"
All the "experiences" of sacrificing time to go out on the ministry were met with this question from the "link man"... "What blessings did Jehovah give you afterwards?"
