I don't know... but maybe all they'll say is that the decrease shows that the work is slowing and that is because Jehovah has "weeded" out the unrighteous and that he is sure to bring destruction any day now! What do you think?

Awake! and pyramidology
by ballistic injust read a recent awake on fen shui and it's pagan origins and it made me wonder if they have ever printed a similar article on pyramidology, considering russell's preoccupation with it?.
i would appreciate any articles as my w.library is still not working.. (please no more pictures of pyramids though)!

I can't believe it... what else are they going to pick on??? Feng Shui is now an artform for your home or office. Sheez!

Yes... and still am "technically". : ) I agree with Target... we are all not alone, and that knowledge helps tremendously with what each of us has to go through at our own pace.

I say a resounding YES! Basically I believe it's because they're all getting very tired of the never ending circle of things they need to DO for the organization and also, I think they are all becoming a bit freaked out that the "end" hasn't arrived yet. At the last assembly I went to, I was chatting during the lunch break with a sister who I didn't know and she happened to mention how "... the end was sooooo close..." because of all the terrorism, etc. When I kindly disagreed and stated various points as to why... her eyes literally bulged and she kept saying "no, no, no... it's very close"... kind of like she was convincing herself of it. She really looked upset and anxious that I didn't fall into step and chant the same thing: it's close, it's close.... oh well. She abruptly ended our friendly conversation and didn't really look at me the entire rest of the day. If indeed it is almost here, well, shame on me. But if not... : )

When The Society Bashed JFK.
by Englishman inback in the 60's, when i was a wee laddie round about fred halls age, the wtbts started to pee their pants at the thought of a roman catholic becoming president of the usa.. we had lots of talks and prayers about how our american brothers would be persecuted if jfk were elected and a series of anti - catholic articles started to appear in the magazines.. there was an awful lot of hot air about this being a "sign" of something or other, can anyone recall any of this or throw some light on the subject?.
englishman.. nostalgia isn't what it used to be....

Listen! Her blood cries out from the ground!
by Bridgette ini cannot forget this little girl.. ezekiel 34:12 this is what the sovereign lord says: i am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock.
i will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves.
i will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them".

Old Kingdom Melodies
by muslima ineven after a bit of time has gone by - do lyrics to "kingdom melodies" still drift in anyone's head?.
it is over 6 years now -- yesterday and even still now - for whatever reason the song with the lyrics "the way of the truth is the best way of living" -- just that line kept going through my head!
it's driving me crazy!.

Past my prime and now I'm tired
by Jo inok, so i became a jw when i was in my mid 20's.

Welcome to the board and to the pushing-40 club, Jo! You will definitely find lots of encouragement here...as well as quite a few laughs! Enjoy every day of life, it's so precious! Roll with the punches, as they say. If you expect to have moods or emotions that swing back and forth sometimes hour to hour, you won't be too disappointed... it's normal. ps: And 40 IS NOT old!!!! I still feel like I'm 20 (except on cold, rainy Monday mornings!) : )
