Giving myself permission to read CoC was what finally made it for me. I really appreciate the fact that he stood for what he believed and did what his conscience told him was the right thing. For that I am very thankful and hope and pray for the best for him, whatever that might be.

GB closing down and selling Central American Branches to be serviced out of Mexican Branch

by cattails in

the gb is closing down and selling all central american branches.

the congregations are to be serviced out of the mexican branch.. they end the letter by saying that aren't the congregations in the.

central american territory to be expecting great rejoicing since they'll.

vivalavida

Well, the 6 branches of Central America would be: Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. I don't know if they count Belize. They did have a branch there. I lived in Honduras for over 20 years and help build the branch in the 80s.

Let's see!

Watchtower Library changed - is 2007 the last unchanged version?

by vivalavida in

in this video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frcleoxkyu0 ) there is a very easy to follow explanation of how to prove with the watchtower library that their asertion that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce does not compute.. i tried to check it with a recent version of the cd, namely 2009, and the numbers are all changed so that it doesn't work now.

does anybody know if 2007 was the last unchanged version in this respect?.

and btw, what do you reckon of this blatant change again?.

Hi guys, I think I had made a mistake. When I posted the information I compared the 'official watchtower' dates for Nebuchadnezzar given in the Insight book under his name (624-582bce) instead of just concentrating in the number of years he and the other kings reigned and that threw me off.

Having gone back through the whole procedure again, I've got the numbers right this time.

Thanks for the comments and clarification.

Titus, what's then the implication of the statement that Neriglissar apparently reigned more than 4 years? It could theoretically have been 20 more and then match the society's chronology.

Thanks once again,

Watchtower 1 June 2010 page 11

it show a man holding a cd and it says that you have to buy the original one because it's immoral to use copied programmes,movies,games etc.tell me one jw who is not immoral when it come's to this because i don't know anyone..

vivalavida

My response was to this

Tell me ONE jw who is not immoral when it come's to this because I don't know anyone.

that's why i started with: JWs that use Open Source and so on... Meaning, not all JWs and, for that matter, not all computer users are inmoral in that aspect. There is a big community of opensource users that don't copy copyrighted software because they have and use alternatives.

Cheers

JWs who use Open Source - Like Linux, the Gimp, Firefox, DigiKam, GnuCash, OpenOffice and so forth...

Believe me, there are a couple of ones... I was one.

On the other hand, like stated above... the big majority simply do not care. Specially in third world countries.

Just like Coffeehouse girl I was counseled about sculpting my body. The text used by my mother was Rev. 19:17, 18 "The angel cried out in a great voice, saying to the birds: “Come here and gather to the Great Supper of The God so that you may eat the flesh of kings – The flesh of military commanders and strong men – the flesh of horses and their riders –the flesh of all freemen and slaves, the little and the great.”

She actually tried to paint a very 'ugly' picture where the birds were ripping off muscle fibers off of my body. Nevertheless, I did train, but not to a big extent. lol.

Now I started training again, after a hiatus of about 4 or so years. Only this time it's mainly bodyweight exercises. I copy a lot of the exercises and lots of tips from these websites: www.bodyrock.tv and www.unique-bodyweight-exercises.com/

Up to now, it has worked out all right, been losing weight, about 3 Kg / 6 pounds in the last 2 months. However the idea is not to lose weight but to get in shape. And that has been working allright. One nice side effect has been that I stopped snoring, which has made my girlfriend quite happy...

Does anybody else do mainly bodyweight exercises?

just uploaded page 2...not 1 or 3 as they are of no interest.. this talk is only given by gb members or branch committee members.

enjoy.

vivalavida

I would be satisfied with the text. Not necessarily a scan. But yes, the other pages... I mean, according to other thread from JWFreak, this is the last talk in the convention and will last about 44 minutes. It would be interesting to see how they introduce and conclude the talk
