  i would like some thoughts on this issue.

  as we well know the wts has been going strong for 130 years.

  and they are still making large increases.

  Yes they are still pushing 1914 -- and yes science has found that there is an inbred need to worship ---- something---- so be it wrongful worship or sideways worship - its still some kind of worship... I think that's what keeps most in the truth because - "there is no better place to go"... so no one worries about anything changing as long as they keep their "faith" - to lose their faith is very demoralizing, to know you have given your life to something untrue - I know a lot have done it but it seems more don't want to do it -- leave that is--- until they really get a slap in the face, then maybe...........

  Skewing numbers can be a big issue as well - I know in this part of the woods people are not disfellowshipped as much as they were, that in inself would keep numbers up as the elders are negligent or slow to act on an issue, hence, no drop in those who are inactive, immoral or deliquent in their service duties..no doubt, as the KM has stopped reporting numbers and only gives a highlight of a service month, so too, the annual numbers will have to cease being published, then any number crunch will be accepted without question cause no one but the elite will know what is actually going on... wonder they havent done that yet..

  Apparently, according to police in the area - the elders were leaving the hall after an elders meeting when the shooter took Mort- the victim inside the hall and shot him. Gonzales is married to Mort's ex wife -- he had a restraining order on Gonzales in 2002 which was recinded in 2003 ... .. so no JC meeting..reads like Gonzales was no longer a witness...

  So there will be a lot more to come...

  If u listen to the news report - he was meeting there for maybe a JC -- apparently a woman called in and said he was meeting some brothers at the hall - this was 8:30 at night on a wednesday - so probably that is the scenario

  New method of distributing magazines

  don't know if someone already commented on this.

  i did a search and did not find anything.

  not that big of a deal, but the concept of having a personal order of the magazines is going away effective immediately.

  so will they report how many mags are produced anymore -- if this happens it will show a huge decrease in placements and the society does not want to be going backward ....................that would remove even more info getting to the r & F and then that would leave only the year end num bers to be referenced -- will they do away with those too???

  In March 2010 the inside of the WT to the public shows 39,601,000 in 180 languages (per mo)

  Same for May 2010 -- so when this goes into effect should be interesting to follow the numbers....

  like i dont have enough going on right now...my kitty is expecting and im not sure when she actually got pregnant but im thinking her due date might be around 5/10.

  i have read online a bit about the process and i hope she can handle this.

  i made a secure and private kittening box for her and she seems to like it in there with ripped up rags she can pile up into a nest.

  I had a nice place for my cat when she was pregnant and she picked her own -- my linen closet when the door was left ajar -- the bottom section on the carpeted floor -- I remember my grandmother telling me her cats used to climb under the sheets and had their kittens - so its up to the cat where ever they find dark, safe places to have their babies is where she will go...

  There was no mess -the kitties were clean and the mama was very affectionate with them..

  Your going to be a grammy

  Never believed he was guilty of anything but trying to make the world a better place - giving over 300 million to charities -- and if you listen closely, he was almost preaching the truth by way of his words in his music - some of the songs anyway -- even the Earth song seemed to be questioning why things are still going on even tho we were promised a paradise .. Beat It seemed to me to be what happened in the elders meeting when he was df's -- anyway thats my two cents -- love his music, always have -- got This is It DVD and have a lot of his cd's

  Has your daughter laid charges against him?? She should - it may help her to regain her self esteem... but it will be a long hard road and maybe she cant go on that road yet.....
