Hi.
I installed it and like it.
I'm sending this from Chrome.
I agree that it's really, noticeably faster than IE or Firefox...
it does have some quirks. But it's in beta. I'm sure there'll
be some refinements and the other browsers will learn from it.
BTW it was announced today on NPR as another way Google is
trying to compete with Windows and make the browser an
applications' platform.

This is quite strange.
The Jewish calendar
http://www.kaluach.net/month.php?year=2009&month=04&day=2
says Nisan 14 corresponds to Wednesday 8 Sep 2008.
I don't think it's a matter of the evening/sundown issue.
Last year the Society decided not to go with the Nisan 14
schedule because of the intercalation of the extra month
or Jewish Leap Year.
Anyone know why???

BTW the whole thing with the thread of skulls and blood drinking was gross! And I don't think it applies in any way to the last supper. So... that's my opinion. :-p
a new leader with a different spirit.
one of the board members, joseph franklin rutherford, was a lawyer who was active in politics before coming into the truth.
before pastor russells death, the pastor had dismissed rutherford from bethel and provided him funds for a new start in california.
In essence Rutherford turned the whole WT publishing business into a pyramid scheme.
[please excuse the pun]
Since he published, then it got sold to the Witnesses who in turn sold it to the public or
used the publications for their own consumption.

what kind of records have jws set that could be in a jw book of records.
Who drove the most miles to a return visit.
Who consumed the most donuts at one coffee break from service.
Who went out in the hottest weather.
Who went out in the coldest weather.
Who fit the most people in their vehicle to go in service.
Who traversed most territory boundaries to make another return visit.
Who commented the most times during a Watchtower Study.
Who went to the bathroom the most times during a meeting.
Who gave the very same talk the most times at Kingdom Halls.
Who had to be taken out to be "disciplined" the most times as a kid during a meeting.
Who was DF'd the most times and then reinstated.
imo - who is the evil slave and how we can tell?.
matthew 7: 15 ~ 23 'by their fruits you will recognise them.'.
it's apparent by their conduct, that after waiting 35 years and seeing 1914 fail to bring armageddon, the slave that was faithful turned evil.
Hey Flash.
I appreciate what you're trying to prove. But...
When Jesus spoke about the wheat among the weeds there is no reference to any "organization" that is special in God's eyes.
The Jews had been the chosen people... But...
For God there was no longer either Jew nor Greek, for they could all come to be His children, adopted through their faith in the ransoming grace of Jesus sacrifice. Throughout these couple of thousand years people have put their faith in Jesus Christ and have been able to call out to their Heavenly Father out of a clean conscience and a heart of faith.
The evil slave as I undestand it from the gospels is that slave who seeing that the Lord's return seems to take longer than expected, turns to mistreating his fellow servants of God.
With Christian Love and warm regards.

Paradigm shift, sometimes known as extraordinary science or revolutionary science, is the term first used by Thomas Kuhn in his influential 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions to describe a change in basic assumptions within the ruling theory of science. It is in contrast to his idea of normal science.

I dunno if "pink" is the right word...
Perhaps more "magenta".

i got an error when i tried posting a message about my crossposting from extj.com/foro .
...so here's what i wanted to post... .
some folks wanted reassurance about my post translating .
I agree with you that faking scandals may be stupid.
But the letter is out. It does say that about the family.
It is an outline from the WT Society to COs
and they've been told not to distribute copies.
BTW everything Jeru @ ExTJ.com/foro has posted
in the past has been truthful.
I don't think that the skepticism displayed
by some at JWD is wrong, but it is a bit
too harsh.
The letter exists, it got out and now we can all read it. Thanks to COs that don't quite
follow Mom-WT directives.
With regards.

the following is a translation of a message to extj.com/foro (let's call it the spanish jwd).
mary, david, once again ... did you know that you are the new watchtower in many circuits?
original post in spanish .
Jeru @ ExTJ.com/foro
once again had a conversation with the CO
in question.
The guy sounds like he's going
through an awful time and maybe
on his way out.
But slowly, and painfully.
I wouldn't be surprised if we get
more and more traveling reps of the WT
visiting and making contact with the
discussion boards and members.
Thanks everyone for your insights and
for keeping the discussion open and
interesting.
With regards.

the letter / outline s-337b-08-s 11/97--pagina 2 has this on the first line: .
"atender las necesidades personales y de la familia es un objetivo secundario (1ti 6:6-8; w96 1/2 14 parr.
basically it's saying that personal and family needs are a secondary objective.
Yeah, it's like stating the obvious.
But some people really want to see it in print.
Of course the WT had told COs that these outlines aren't to be copied or distributed, not even shown to elders.
But thanks to some still active in the Spanish congregations it got leaked out.
With regards.
