Well the householders had whacky beliefs too. I thought she (the younger of the women) did well in the circumstances and had a good depth of JW knowledge and their interpretation of the bible.

Big Boldfaced Lie in Meeting Workbook for August 1-7, 2016
by SAHS inthere is a fundamental lie which i couldn’t help noticing today in the our christian life and ministry—meeting workbook for august 1-7, 2016. it is in the little supplemental page considered this week under the title “improving our skills in the ministry—helping bible students to progress to dedication and baptism,” in the first paragraph (labelled “why important”), third sentence.
here is that sentence:.
“a christian’s dedication is to jehovah—not to a human, a work, or an organization.”.

So why are they highlighting this subject? Could it be that baptisms are down?
HQ are getting the figures every month and can project what the final count will be and I guess it ain't pretty!

Moore's Law And The Survival Of The Watchtower Corporation? When Will Instant Processing Push These Dumb Bastard Into Bankruptcy?
by Brokeback Watchtower inthe internet value increases with this moore's law doubling effect and information is there for the picking.
how long do you think these old geezers on the governing body can keep this currant generation of members in the darkness of stupidity?
the human mind while it has it's fault will pick up on fraud at least on the unconscious level and stop giving time and money to these clowns.

From the low baptism counts going round since the end of 2014 continuing until now they have already stagnated. I believe they will manipulate the figures to show the tiniest of growths rather than a deficit - and maybe watch out for the "love of the greater number cooling off" becoming a theme!
The "Memorial count" is interesting - not really changed in the last 5 years.
Who goes to a memorial? New ones yes but also it is the last meeting attended by the faders, the "in only for family" types and the "disfellowshipped but mentally in" types.

After Jesus fasted for 40 days, he was tempted by a man (not a fallen angel).
by quincemyles inafter jesus fasted for 40 days, he was tempted by a man (not an evil angel) to turn stones into bread, jump from the temple and bow.
the tester was a pharisee of the ruling class.
jehovah's witnesses believe the tester to have been an evil spirit or leader of fallen angels named satan the devil.

@Simon
"Grubbing" actually means to dig about or poke about (in soil or similar). An animal might grub about in the dirt looking for insects, worms or other grubs.
So money-grubbing is like someone digging or poking about in soil but digging about for money. So always on the lookout for money; poking about in the dirt for it.
Money grubbing and money grabbing have become synonymous really with the US leaning towards the former and British English towards the latter but they are interchangeable.

It's official - the G.B. has replaced the Holy Spirit!
by The Searcher inthe watchtower november 2016, page 16, par.
"some may feel that they can interpret the bible on their own.
however, jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only* channel for dispensing spiritual food.

Maybe leprosy will be flashing up in the foreheads of the GB for presumptuousness like King Uzziah?
Sadly not.

Another brother steps back
by konceptual99 inso at the meeting this week it was announced that a certain brother was no longer serving as a ministerial servant.. this is a guy who was brought up in a different country as his family went to serve where the need was greater.
this is a guy who was home schooled and went straight into pioneering.
he then went and worked on building projects in various places in europe and africa.

Signs of Toxic Personalities
by Simon incame across this and found it rather interesting:.
http://facthacker.com/18-signs-of-toxic-people/.
it's always good to be able to identify when we may be exhibiting some of these behaviors or, hopefully more likely, to spot the behaviors in others and help avoid the impact they can have.

American English dictionaries don't have the words "gullible" or "humour" (as in sense of humour) in them.
