usually it was personality clashes between the elders, sometimes it would be so noticable to certain ones,
yet the elders would pretend that everything is just fine.

the price of your seat at the kingdom hall

at a recent circuit assembly, a circuit overseer gave an.

awesome talk during the portion, "giving attention to.

the needs of the circuit.

There was a little rascals show (1936) about the gang putting on a show and the ticket-taker forgot to collect the tickets
before the show. When he realized his mistake, the announcement was made " if you like the show, please pay as you exit."

When the show ended they ended up with a huge boxful of money!

perhaps the WTS should apply this type of logic.

My Mom Says More Are Pioneering Since "That's All They Talk About"

by minimus in

she says since the end is so close, the brothers and sisters are wisely using their time pioneering.. i said, "they'd be better off going to college, getting an education".. her response: "a lot of good a college education will do them now.

nobody can keep a job".. .

Those people that put off their careers then are now approaching retirement age. Ask her how many of them are still pioneering. All the ones I knew from that era curse that they did not get an education

Back in 1979 I had an opportunity to go to veterinary school on a scholarship (in other words,,,totally free)
Since the witnesses were dead set against college I did not accept it, I kick myself everyday for not taking advantage of that!!

Jehovah's Witnesses and Child Protection ? Not. Check this Out !

by flipper in

these quotes and excerpts i'm going to post here come from the " jehovah's witnesses - office of public information " from their website as it was posted on 12/2/07.

my wife and i have a lurking witness friend who sent us this information as she is very pro-active trying to fight child abuse from within the organization itself !

so get your barf bags ready- you are going to need them to stomach this " official policy " garbage from the wt society.

lancelink

If so, we expect the elders to comply.

A loophole,

just like the police EXPECT everyone to obey the speed limit

It looks nice on paper, but when the rubber meets the road,, it is a different story

Blood Quotes in Jan 2009 Awake

by Gladring in

the awake jan 2009 has a quote in it's watching the world.

"for almost 9000 patients who had heart surgery in the [united kingdom] between 1996 and 2003, receiving a red cell transfusion was associated with three times the risk of dying in the following year and an almost sixfold risk of dying within 30 days of surgery compared with not receiving one.

" - new scientist, britain.. for starters, this quote is not exactly straight from new scientist.

fair use:

Fair use is a copyright principle based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism. For example, if you wish to criticize a novelist, you should have the freedom to quote a portion of the novelist's work without asking permission. Absent this freedom, copyright owners could stifle any negative comments about their work.

Unfortunately, if the copyright owner disagrees with your fair use interpretation, the dispute will have to be resolved by courts or arbitration. If it's not a fair use, then you are infringing upon the rights of the copyright owner and may be liable for damages.

The only guidance is provided by a set of fair use factors outlined in the copyright law. These factors are weighed in each case to determine whether a use qualifies as a fair use. For example, one important factor is whether your use will deprive the copyright owner of income. Unfortunately, weighing the fair use factors is often quite subjective. For this reason, the fair use road map is often tricky to navigate.

JW runs when he hears the word "Jesus"

by Honesty in

this morning i was in the office of a company that i do business with.

3 women were in the office and they all asked me how i was doing since i had major surgery last month.. i told them that i was recovering but it was kind of disappointing when i woke up in the recovery room instead of at the pearly gates.. one of the women said, "god must have more for you to do here.".

at which i replied, "yes, there are so many lost people who don't know jesus.".

Reina sounds to me like a child who builds a sandcastle right next to the ocean, looks at it,
thinks 'boy what a good job I did building it", and then gets upset while the waves slowly destroy it.
