I love a good Reuben sandwich: corned beef, sauerkraut and mustard on a nice rye bread......

A Popular Question Raised by people who were never JW.

i talk to a lot of people about the watchtower because it comes up in conversation all of the time.. money eventually becomes a topic as it is a very wealthy corporation.. so the question is always raised and it is a good one, "who controls it?".

people want to know "who has the power of the purse strings?

" and quite frankly so do i.. there is someone behind the scenes who knows so much that the wtbts could never fire him or her.

Look for unique gift ideas to buy a gift for your boss

by Whitea in

gift giving happens always, but uniqueness arises when it comes to giving gifts to someone whos not there in our regular list of recipients.

does that happen always?

or should i rephrase the question a little and ask you whether it has happened even once until now?

It's a spammer, Smiddy.

They don't even read your response.

I think you just should march into his office and take a big dump on his desk.

I love my gizmo...

by Glander in

bought a kindle 3g last fall.

i have read a couple of dozen books on it and find it almost addictive.

book prices are more than reasonable and it is very convenient to read.

I had the Kindle 2 and was very happy with it. This week, my man gifted me the new Kindle Touch.

I'm getting used to it, but it is simpler to use than the old Kindle.

Yes, I love my Kindle!

will do nolaw, ive not had privelages for the past 2 years. .........they told me it was because i needed a haircut. . .

Of all the problems teenagers can get themselves into, needing a haircut should be the least of any parent's worries.

That in itself screams "CULT!!"

Is the May 2012 KM pumping up some hysteria?

I was just watching a TV program about this case:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillelid_murders

Basically, a JW family on their way home from as assembly. They stopped at a roadside turn-out and were kidnapped and driven away by goth teenagers, then shot and killed.

The TV show said, the dad was "fired up" after being at the Assembly and wanted to engage the teenagers in a conversation about God.

The teenagers were all Goths, cocaine and heroin addicted, blood-drinking Satan worshippers.

I'm in no way saying the family deserved to get murdered, but where was the common sense? Surely, his family's safety would have prevented this dad from approaching this group of teens at a remote roadside turn-out?

I suspect there are cases where "worldly" family may blame the WTSociety for placing their followers in danger by requiring them to preach in dangerous areas.

I also suspect that's what behind the new "You dont' represent the WTS when you're preaching, it's a personal thing you're doing" stance they are taking.

this year will be my parents 50th wedding anniversary.

my mum is a jw my father is not.

my husband and i hade been df'd and i have 3 sisters.

Oh, Egghead......you make it sound like JW's are sooooo reasonable.

Obviously what you described is what SHOULD be happening, but everyone here knows that is not the reasonable approach that JW's take to these sorts of situations.

Thank you, Baby Cheezits!

BTW, independentthinker: The reason disproving 607 is so important is because if they don't have 607, then they don't have 1914. If they don't have 1914, they don't have an exclusive organization chosen by God.
