i've been pondering......with this new "push" to direct individuals to thw jw.org website, even when the dubs are out preaching...what do you think the future will be for the preaching work?.
some time ago i read that the mormons have implemented a live chat feature that allows you to speak with their missionaries....i doubt the borg would do this, but i think they have something up their sleeves.. peace.
kool jo.

I heard a story of an old JW with an unused freezer sitting behind his house.
Guess what he filled the freezer with?
Watchtowers and Awakes, that's what.
Uh Huh.

my nephew is a graduate of an alabama university and harvard.. he didn't listen to the warnings about seeking higher education, and has a good job.. the elder sunk himself trying to keep his son, who did not apply himself in school, out of prison.. it's a sad situation, but it shows how foolish the wt's directives can be.. sylvia.
Jam, I came into the organization in 1974.
I never believed the 1975 stuff, though.
I'm so glad that I didn't.

i note that they're making reference to this in the upcoming convention programme.
someone has has dropped a bollock here, have they not?.
i mean, if i were a jw, i'd be sitting thinking of all the promises made and broken.
I'm not surprised anymore at anything WT does.
Its hubris knows no bounds.

Yes, indeed, he would, Wuz.
A WT man to the max.
Safe, see my post #22573.

this here is very educational.. http://www.funtrivia.com/tournament/jwd-trivia-quiz-75350.html.

The elder is not related to my nephew.
The elder went broke trying to keep the elder's son out of prison.
The elder was always critical of those who sought higher education.
My nephew has a good-paying job because my nephew went to college.
Said elder now has to borrow money from my nephew in order to keep afloat.
Ironical, isn't it?

He does have a big heart, Searcher.
It just galls me that his erstwhile critic is now mooching off his generosity.

just reading a thread and the mention of karma popped up.
( it happens, lol).
a lot of people believe in karma: what goes around comes around.. some months ago, while on another exjw site, karma was mentioned and i thought it a little odd, as they are atheist.
I'm a firm believer in karma, i.e., we reap what we sow.
If we don't pay in this world, then certainly in the world to come.
Hebrews 9:27.

Yeah, I remember when he had a good-paying job with one of the chemical plants down here.
His wife didn't have to work, and they thought they were the shizzle.
There were a select few kids at the KH with whom they allowed their sons to associate - my oldest daughter wasn't one of them.
If they hadn't been so smug and complacent in the past, it would pain me to see them in such desperate straits.
Karma is a witch, isn't it?
