the bible presents him as humble with limit means.
i always wondered how a man with a travelling companion of two like timothy managed to knnow or hear about all his churches.
how exactly does the troubles of corinth manage to find paul when hes over in judea or maybe somewhere in what we call turkey ?
There have already been field service report slips in Paul's day.
Really, when I left I had a discussion with the elders and told them that it would be unbiblical to report field service hours. One elder replied that there must have been field service reports in Paul's day, otherwise he would not have been able to give counsel to the congregations.
i have to practice and get better at parallel parking or i am never going to get my license.
i can get the car in the space but i just can't seem to get it out of there without crossing the lines where your not suppose to go.
when you cross the lines it means if there was a car there you would have bumped it.
Thanks for the spiritual biowaste!
just found an interesting site containing old wt documents.. .
http://www.watchtowerwayback.org/.
bangalore.
Actually that Watchtower Wayback archive is in French, but has a lot of English content.
It seems to contain every PDF and MP3 that was ever made available anywhere. Including WTLIB 2012. Way more than in my archive.
i don't know if anybody else has mentioned this, but i'm currently at a dc in sweden, and this morning, during the symposium on different kinds of service, it was mentioned that 40% of baptisms are the result of informal witnessing.
if you add the number of baptisms of children of jw parents to this, how many are left that are baptized as a result of the door-to-door work?
doesn't sound very effective at all....
An average witness in Germany takes roughly 100 years to convert ONE person. (27 million hours for 2600 baptisms, ca. 9 hours/month)
But if 40 % of these are through informal witnessing, so that only 1236 of the 2600 baptisms are through the regular work, it would be be 166 years for an average publisher to convert one person in the regular ministry.
Given that 90 % of the baptized persons are children of witnesses (so that only 10 % are outsiders and 60 % of these 10 % were gathered in the door-to-door work), it would be 1660 years to convert ONE person through the door-to-door ministry.

so, unexpectedly, the final talk was announced today and to my surprise and evil glee, they announced gerrit loesch as the speaker!
first off, at the beginning of his talk, he interrupted himself in the middle of his sentence to scold the microphone brother to lower my mike it's right in my face.. anyway, it was the talk on inspired truth, vs. inspired falsehoods.
he went through 6 expressions inspired by the demons.
Still, it's weird that there is such a gross difference between the 6 points supposedly named by Lösch the Great and the 6 points named on other conventions. Combined with this other thread that asks for GB member voice imitators, I would be careful ...
frequently asked question that is featured at moment on jw.org.
thought it was pretty funny.. .
do you ban certain movies, books, or songs?no.
Noo, they don't ban any books. Just take Crisis of Conscience to your local elders and see.
now that russell is no longer important do you think this is designed so they can drop 1914??
?.
WHEN did they "receive authority over all his belongings"?
They did not yet!
