i've got two boxes full of watchtower and awake magazines dating back to 2000 maybe abit further.
should i just trash them?
Drop them off at a local KH with the scripture in Eccl printed on the top
drop them off late Friday night or early Sat morning at the front door on the 2nd Sat of the month
(Ecclesiastes 12:12) . . .To the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion [to them] is wearisome to the flesh.

jc.
can you help me understand these stories?
i want to know why these are in the bible.
I think Saul liked foreskins in a stir fry with dates and olives. He probably liked to dip them in hummus too.
CRAP, I'll never be able to eat calamari again.

please check it out and see what crap i have stirred up with this one.. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=atumef7nt256.0tbigqithxty6ix;_ylv=3?qid=20080723011501aatbvuo.
I guess this is proof positive that the bORG has been succesful in dumbing down the rank and file.

we've all heard the cliches .
" when the going get's tough, the tough get going .
" etc., etc., ...... " better to have loved and lost .... than never loved at all.
Half full for me but I think it has a leak in the bottom so I'm going to drink it as fast as I can.

i was told recently by a ministerial servant that the word had come down from above that from now on only two comments by children will be allowed during the wt study.
the reason: the meetings are geared to adults, not children.
has anyone else heard of this policy??
Many years ago when I was an elder conducting the Washtowel study a circuit overseer told me after the study to limit calling on children because it was an adult study. So, no hard rule just a CO's opinion.

we assume that they or their dupes read this forum, or parts of it, right?
address your comments to them.
do so kindly, and respectfully, remembering that it is their religion, and they can run it like they like.
Un-Dear Governing Body:
How can you ask people to put their trust in you when the Bible clearly says:
(Psalm 146:3) 3 Do not put YOUR trust in nobles, Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. Aren't you son's of earthling men
who are looked at nobley by the rank and file?
Also,
Are you absolutley sure about the whole blood issue because your decision is causing people to die unnecessarily?

i know three women from the local kh (one is a distant relative of mine) who call on my uncle for bible study.
problem is, he has alzheimer's disease--and they were told about this!!!
still, they've been doing studies with him until my aunt (his wife) told them to stop coming by.
Here's the deal, JW's just want to have a study. Saying "my study" is a status symbol for a Jdub it also provides at least 4 hours of field circus time a month and is especially valuable in the winters. So they don't care who they study with they could even be brain dead. If they have a pulse they'll study with them.

in 1975 the watchtower society woke up and they weren't in paradise.. they turned over and pulled the sheets down to see what lay beside them in that cheap motel room called the day after.. they had said all the right words.
they made all the right moves.
they had made their bed and now they were lying in it.
SEX!
OK, OK, I like it.
Terry you and Sigmund Freud would get along great. perhaps in the new system or new order, or new world or whatever the bORG is calling it lately you'll meet. Don't get me wrong Terry I like to relate everything to sex too. UMM let's see
1. (Genesis 24:63) . . .When he raised his eyes and looked, why, there camels were coming!
2. (Genesis 30:30) . . .that it was little that you actually had before my coming. . .
3. (Genesis 33:1) . . .In time Jacob raised his eyes and looked, and here E´sau was coming and with him four hundred men. . .
4. (Exodus 35:22) . . .And they kept coming, the men along with the women, every willing-hearted one.. . .
5. (2 Samuel 18:25) . . .And he kept coming, steadily . . .
I think U m know what I mean.
I love your stuff Terry

this was a few years ago now, i was on the work one day with an elders elder.. you now the type!.
& he said this to me me (now i would love to know if you heard this one if its from a wt mag).
"how you are viewed by others (& so treated) is a reflection of how god views you".
and this is what he told me: "well, I know the heart has a thought process because the first time I was in bed with my new wife, my heart started beating much faster..."
I guess the penis must have a thought process too then.
LD
is it more interesting to the elders if the sister doing naughty things is sexy?
or is it just uncomfortable for everyone no matter what?
do their questions get more or less detailed depending on looks?
As a former elder and in that position more then once, I will not answer that question.
I take the 5th.
But
