  by JH in

  .

  now they don't know if saddam is still in baghdad or if he fled out of iraq.

  do you think that saddam will be as hard to catch as bin ladden?

  Baghdad is a city of 4m inhabitants. I don't think they will find Saddam there, maybe not even one of his stuntmen.

  But I feel fear thinking about the forces entering this 4m city and the reaction of the arabic world...

  What should we reply when invited to memorial?

  when my mil invites my husband to the memorial he plans on saying, "well i've already been to the memorial before.

  if you've been there once, there's no need to go again since the talk is the same mumbo-jumbo year after year and i'm not anointed anyway.".

  what do you plan on saying or have you said?

  The local PO told me he would be happy to see me at the memorial and at the forthcoming circuit assembly.

  My reply was: "Aha." ;-)

  A WAY TO GET THE SOCIETY NEGATIVE MEDIA ATTENTION!

  by NaruNaruChan in

  so i e mailed bill o reilly, a foxnews reporter who is very opinionated, and told him about how anti-american the org.

  is cuz he hates that kind of stuff and exposes it on his show... so if we all e-mail him, and he does read his e-mail, maybe we can get another punch in the apostate time-card regarding the pedophilia issue and the general crappiness of jws during the war.

  we all know that they'r eout there more than ever because they think people need to hear from them during the war, and fox gets a lot of publicity... so c'mon guys, e-mail bill o reilly about how jws are anti-american, let's get them in the news!.

  I hope our aim is not just to get the Society negative media attention at any costs.

  Criticize what has to be criticized but to use nationalism that is as fanatical as JW could ever be is too high a price.

  The results could be so devestating which nobody likes to be responsible for.

  well, about a month ago, i had to have a talk with the elders.

  primarily due to my lack of meeting attendance.

  i decided to make an effort and attend, after about two sunday meetings, i found out about the un and haven't been back since.

  I too got that not so unexpected call yesterday. After some unsuccessful attempts of phoning and visiting an Elder was actually at my door.

  He invited me for the memorial. Then he asked which date would suit me for he would like to talk to me for 15min or so.

  I said next Saturday would be fine. He replied that's bad because that's when the circuit assembly takes place. ROTFL

  Well, he will phone me again. I am thinking about showing him all the NGO details and how even the Elders have been lied to in the letter to the BOE.

  And whatever will be will be...

  [quote]In each case they don't imply that there were more than a few dozen people actually helped. (At least they didn't pass out Watchtowers.)[unquote]

  I don't have the Yearbook 2003 at my office but I remember that there is a report in it with a fireworker or so saying "Well, everybody gives us material things but you read a text from the Bible. This is what we need so much."

  To me it was like satire to me but it can be found at the current Yearbook 2003 in the general part at the beginning. Does anybody have the English edition at an arm's length?

  Unbaptized Children Allowed to Say Prayer at the Table?

  by GermanXJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently a jw friend of mine was counseled by an elder because he let his children pray at the table.. i remember a co telling that an unbaptized child cannot pray at the table for the whole family.

  he stated that after such a prayer a baptized family member has to say another, a valid prayer.. does anyone remember that the wts published anything in writing about that matter?.

  not that i care, just wondering...

  Thankyou onacruse. At present, I only have the German CD-ROM of 1999 which goes back no farther than 1970.

  I heard the 2001 edition will go back till 1950 as the English edition - but I am not sure if I will get one officially.

  I own some of her CDs and saw her live once. She has a great voice and did a great show. It was one of the best concerts I ever attended - but due to my JW youth my experience is limited.

  What weakens her position is that she is not a songwriter but just performs what other people have authored.
