As others have suggested, it's simply a way for them to inflate their numbers, and superficially demonstrate the growth of the organization, and how Jehovah is speeding up the work.

Soon enough it will be illegal to refuse service to people without money
Talk about a red herring. If somebody can't pay for your services, they aren't a customer, they're charity.

Its the glaring 200 vs 10,000 figure that we need to address in this country.
But how do you go about doing that? The problem with comparing gun crime statistics with other countries is that guns exist in circulation in far greater volume here in the US. It isn't simply about legislation of guns(or the lack thereof), it's about accessibility.
I'm not a gun enthusiast, by any means. And I don't comprehend America's love affair with guns. But it's naive to think that passing gun laws similar to the UK will result in proportionate gun crime statistics, when guns are far easier to come by in the US.

they differed in many ways but had one thing in commonthey were reductionists who claimed that all higher realms of existence could be explained by lower natural causes.

Nebraska was great and so was Dallas Buyers Club. We have not seen any other of the Oscar nominations yet but plan to.
American Hustle is a good movie as well. I've seen Wolf of Wall Street, too. It's not bad, but a bit too gratuitous, IMO.

Is Jennifer Connelly naked at any point during the movie? That's the only circumstance in which I might see it. Especially in IMAX.

Do you think marrying an unbeliever could be a disfellowshipping offense in the future?
by loading inany thoughts?.

If it starts to happen with more frequency than it does, I could see it happening. The fact of the matter is that they can make anything a disfellowshipping offense if they feel strongly enough about it, and they can come up with a scripture to distort to support their position.

Eccentric Jehovah's Witnesses
by snowbird inso as not to hijack logcon's thread about crazy things jw's have said to householders, i'd like to start one about just plain old odd jw's.. for example, i knew this dear, dear senior brother who would carry a small bag of peanuts in one pocket of his suit coat and a small plastic bag of brown sugar in the other.. during that time, we would stay out all day long because the territory was extensive.. can't you just picture that precious soul alternately tossing a few peanuts/crumbs of sugar into his mouth as he schlepped from house to trailer, from trailer to house?.
the householders would usually offer us water, lemonade, kool-aid, or soda pops, so no problem with finding something to quench our thirsts.. those were the days!.
sylvia.

My friend's mom got a Time magazine in the mail and started freaking out because there was a satanic symbol on the cover(the cover story was about Satanic cults). She immediately threw the magazine in the trash. Apparently she had no concept of what Time magazine was.
This same woman made a scene in the post office because the stamps she purchased out of the machine were of the American flag. She demanded that the clerk exchange them for something else.
