  speaking to someone from north of england last week with regard the possible 'new shite' on the generation teaching that may be coming in the new year.. they were thinking of printing off postcards with a simple message such as,.

  'they are going to change the 1914 generation again!

  'would you believe it, another change in the 1914 generation coming up'.

  He invited a Jehovah’s Witness into his home and kept him for so long the Jehovah’s Witness started looking at his watch and making excuses to leave.

  That is hilarious. Also very interesting. The JWs have been taking their favorite parts and using it just like that. They all quote the same old robotic scriptures whether it fits the question or not.

  Which countries do the anointed come from ?

  by aligot ripounsous in

  2. beliefs

  a couple of jw friends came yo visit us today and we had dinner together.. at some stage in the conversation, i said that i do understand that an increasing number of jws from developing countries take emblems at memorials because, if we consider that europe and the us compose, together, about 700 million people, there is no good reason why nearly the whole lot of the little flock should be chosen from one tenth of humankind.

  it is therefore all too normal that jws from third world counties think that they should have their fair share since jehovah id not partial.

  the husband listened attentively and agreed but his wife probably found that we were engaging on a slippery ground and she shortened the visit.

  As you can see from the following scriptures, firstfruits are PLURAL.....that means more than one.

  A CALL TO ACTION: HIGH PRIORITY

  by Wingman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi everyone,.

  a letter has been prepared by anonymous brothers to be sent to bodies of elders around the world.. of course this is a massive undertaking and we are asking for assistance from active and inactive ones around the world who share the sentiments of the letters contents.. your participation in this action indicates your sincere desire to see change within the organization that has become authoritarian in recent years.. we ask that the letter be addressed to "the body of elders" in each respective congregation.. please do not add any further information or commentary.. we are also relying on non-english speaking brothers to translate and distribute this letter.. it will not matter if more than one letter is received by each congregation.

  Lets get all the revision work discussed and accuracy double and triple checked and all make sure we are on the same page before we begin sending these letters out. Lets wait for a certain date and then all do it at one time. That way, we can flood them before any squash tactics start.

  One step ahead of the Tower.

  I think it is an awesome idea.

  Get their news from the "postates" first....and then a few months later the watchtower confirms "our prophecy!"

  Lady Lee, I don't have a bread machine. What would you do to convert this recipe to the old fashioned way? Are there any changes necessary? Also, I have never been able to find an answer to this..... what is the difference between using "fast rise" active yeast and the regular active yeast? Will it work in any recipe calling for yeast? Thanks.

  All I can think of right now is that crazy loud music "All Along the Watchtower". But I don't think it was Doors. All that music was just loud and undecipherable to me.
