  Demons in a coffee shop? How would you react?

  i just saw this very short two minute video -- brilliant.

  it's gone "viral" on the interwebs/nets.

  i couldn't help but imagine that if a jw had been in this coffee shop, s/he would have been screaming "jehovah!

  I really think they were talking about the durability of the NNWT. I think Jeffro is correct.

  For what it's worth, this is my take on the AGM

  as i was leaving the kh where i watched the meeting, i overheard several conversations, all to the effect that"what a great bunch of guys the gb is.

  " the sense of humor among them, the naturalness and ease they had while speaking, etc.. for that matter, i too, was impressed at how like able they seem to be and, believe it or not, the 3 1/2 hours went by fairly quickly, thank god!

  but as i think about it, i'm concluding that that was the main goal of the wide viewing of this event: to assure the rank and file that the gb, the men who are in charge of god's household, are a great bunch of guys.

  Good point stillin.

  The main purpose of this whole dog and pony show was marketing. The GB has re-branded and they need to build up the confidence of the rank and file.

  brazen conduct, dissensions

  by hoser in

  as predicted by jwn loose conduct has been replaced by brazen conduct.

  galations 5:19 2 peter 2:2 .

  a catch all phrase for apostates.

  The dictionary's literal definition of brazen is..."made of brass"

  So I suppose the rank and file will have to turn in their brass balls and knuckle under to the GB

  An Elder Reads CoC !!

  i have recently joined the site.

  i was just appointed an elder this summer.

  i started discovering the ttatt (the truth about the truth) last year after putting a few things together myself concerning the leadership and then doing some research online.. i really enjoyed jwfacts.com, jwsurvey, and others.

  Welcome,

  When I started reading COC, i snuck it into my office at work (other JW's work there) and whenever I heard someone out in the hallway I would hide it.

  Then I brought it home and left it laying around for my wife and it worked.

  otwo, .

  i keep thinking that after you retire from your current field (it's fire fighting, i think?

  ), you will still be very young and able to have a full second career.

  Thanks, Ldrnomo. I think I already got your number.

  Now I'm dying to know what my number is. Will you accept me as your first client?

  You know I tease but seriously, you are very easy to talk to and very approachable (sorry to use that elder lable phrase) but you are one hell of a great guy.

  New Awake magazine goes after the media

  here is a link to the pdf.... http://www.jw.org/download/?issue=201312&output=html&pub=g&fileformat=pdf&alllangs=0&langwritten=e&txtcmslang=e&isbible=0.

  some interesting quotes.... while it is wise not to believe everything we read in the news, it does not follow that there is nothing we can trust.

  the key may be to have a healthy skepticism, while keeping an open mind.tone: when the tone of a news item is angry, spiteful, or highly critical, it suggests that an attack is under way and not a reasoned argument.sources: is there evidence of thorough research?

  Thank you everyone!

  I'm glad it's over. Studying for and taking the Bar was physically, mentally, and emotionally draining.

  Any you didn't think you would pass.
