  the congregation i belong to is small and most of its territory is in the rurals.

  there is one territory in particular that is some distance from the hall and so it does not get worked as often as the closer ones.

  then he said: "i cant talk to you people, you dont believe in hell" .

  What Would I Have Done?

  by Frenchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in reading the gospels about jesus ministry i cannot help but be moved by his message and manner and i know i am not alone in feeling like this.

  i marvel, smile, and slowly shake my head as i read about the miracles that he performed and have, at one time or other, wished that i could have been there to witness those marvels and to hear his voice.

  perhaps like many others i have also wondered at those people who heard him and yet walked away.

  **however, from 1892 to 1927, the watch tower did set aside space for comment on the text featured in the "international sunday school lessons," which were then popular in many protestant churches.

  these texts were for many years selected by f. n. peloubet, a congregational clergyman, and his assistants.

  the watch tower discussed these texts from the standpoint of the bible students advanced understanding of the scriptures, free from the creeds of christendom.

  Question On Blood

  by Frenchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just recently read a post on another board where a person claiming to be a witness claims that she called the society as was informed by them that it was all right to have one's own blood stored for future use.

  anyone else heard of this?

  am i just slipping behind the times or could she be mistaken about the matter?

  was visiting this week and in his talk he got on the subject of movies.

  he began by admitting that he was not familiar with the rating code but that it was wrong for a christian to see an r rated movie.

  he stayed at least five minutes on the subject.. afterwards there was the usual, abbreviated wt study and i found paragraph four particularly interesting:.
