it so happens that in cockney rhyming slang, "jeremiah" means "fire".. after the jeremiah book is finally done with for the cbs this week, i know what i. am going to do with the book.. .

( incidentally, vauxhall novas is rhyming slang for jehovah's (witnesses) ).

Well, I didn't set fire to the Jeremiah book but I shredded it today.

It felt really good!

You should try it.

It gave me a cathartic feeling.

Serving Jehovah Before the Days of Distress Come

Quote: Para 4

If you have acquired decades of experience as an adult, you have a key question to ask yourself, ‘What will I do with my life now while I still have some energy and strength?’

Quote: Para 6

"If you are an experienced Christian, you have great potential. Consider what you understand now that you did not know 30 or 40 years ago."

I understood over 40 years ago that "as a young person you will not grow old in this system of things"

That everyone born in 1914 would not die off before Armagedon comes.

Now I am being told "do more..you can do more..."

Don't they realise how bitter some older ones feel about this?

I would say the days of distress have already come especially if you don't have much or any pension or

savings because you listened to them all those years ago.

Give me a break WTS. How about giving me some of the money you are making in hedge funds to offset my deficiency.

Since most JW's HATE giving talks and doing meeting parts, why does the Watchtower Society still require it?

i loathed giving talks and doing meeting parts.

i dreaded all assignments.

i was intelligent enough and always did a good job, but all my jw life (born in to mid-30's) i enjoyed giving talks about as much as a visit to the dentist.. i am sure that 90% of all jw's similarly dislike it.

molybdenum

I love giving talks. It's the only time people actually listen to me. Well, I think they do...

hip hip hooray!.

We have a new Bible
Hip Hip Hooray!
Isn't it great the colour is grey
It's better than black or green or maroon
I really am right over the moon

My silver sword I will wield
when I am out in the field
I'm sure that many will want to look
at this wonderful new grey book

The verses now make much more sense
now I don't feel quite so dense
I can't wait to read it from cover to cover
Thank you so much our dear "mother"

The GB, the faithful slave,
they surely make me want to rave
about this provision direct from God
something that we should not hog

We have a new Bible
Hip Hip Hooray!
and it is GREY!
That really has made my day !

It is interesting that according to the WT you were appointed an Elder by Holy Spirit

w03 3/1 p. 17 par. 17
Further, elders serve in the local Christian congregation and, according to the apostle Paul, are appointed by holy spirit.

So what happened in your case if that is the case?

You were discovering the TATT, then appointed as an Elder. Hmmm...

A family member and I recently saw a UFO. It was very odd. It was very bright, like a star during the day. At first I thought that it was a plane reflecting the sun, or a balloon as I am very skeptical. We observed it for 15 minutes and it never made one sound or moved, or changed altitude. It did wink or fade every so often, until finally it turned off or left, or whatever. It was gone.

I always assume that it is Military craft of some kind. I really have no other explanation. This was the first time that I had someone else see something with me. It was pretty cool.

That's interesting. Where did you see it? Could you take any photos?
