talk was about appreciating jehovah's provisions, something like that.... the po gave the talk.

apparently, after the last co visit, our congo got a letter from headquarters, informing us that our numbers are wayyyy down.

several inactive publishers, several more irregular, poor meeting attendance, and our hourly average is less than the national average (8.3 compared to 9.9).

in 1993 a sleep-over was held at the home of a brother with 2 sons, ages 13 and 17. there were about 8 boys there all in the same age bracket which isn't uncommon for the friends.

in the middle of the night ,one of the boys, age 17, a baptised brother, performed oral sex on a 13 year old while that boy was asleep.

the offender was the son of the po.

Do you wash your hands after using the restroom?
by John Doe in
1. jw
2. friends
i've noticed a disturbing trend where 90% of guys don't wash their hands after using the restroom, and probably 25% don't even after number two'ing.

encouragingly, about 80% of the guys in law school do wash their hands.

(i know it's weird, but i count) .

dear friends,.

much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.

however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

it's been said many times that bethel monitors this board.

if they do, what do you think they're thinking?

The "Tree" of WHAT?
by Farkel in
1. jw
2. friends
the account of adam and eve as a literal event is so full of logical contradictions that it is mind-boggling.

it only takes a minimum of scrutiny to discover that fact, too.. there is something god did not want adam and eve to know.

he didnt want them to know the difference between good and evil.
