I was there yesterday...taking my young son for an appointment at Great Ormond street hospital. It's terrifying if you live in London or there abouts and rely on public transport.

"The purpose of reporting field service time is for encouragement"
by HereIgo ini was told this when i was an aspiring jw, aka unbaptized publisher.
the above explanation didn't make sense to me then and it never did make sense throughout my jw career.
over time, it appeared to me the real purpose of field service time reporting was to gauge one's spirituality and for the ceo *cough* co to make sure the elders were on top of things during his visit..

I have no problem with a works based form of Christianity. But if JWism is a works based form, why not record the works you do....visiting the sick, doing chores for the elderly, donating to a food bank for the poor.
Why?
Because none of that helps the finances of the Watchtower babble and CRAP Society.

They always talk about blood having to be "poured out on the ground" and the blood of Jesus being "poured out as a sin offering" on behalf of mankind.
But Jesus blood was never literally poured out, and the blood poured out as a sin offering was never intended for Christians to do.
Most of all, as has been noted, David and his men ate meat with the blood in extremis, because the symbol is less important than the life itself.

Hi apparently they have 6 days to get out of town.
Redvip2000 I know what you mean, they can be a bit melodramatic. But they kinda grow on you. And we have to fight watchtower with whatever talents we have. They have comedy!!!

Either God’s non-existence or His majesty
by venus inin natural calamities, everyone (despite one’s faith) is affected.
when one denies god’s existence, he experiences no punishment from him.
when one worships him, he receives no special favor from him.

Although when we say the scriptures of the ancients misrepresent him, are we not doing exACTly what they did and creating a God that fits the image of what we expect of him?

Venus that was beautiful - I really, really enjoyed reading it. I particularly loved your comparison of Watchtowers egotistical belief that they are the chosen with the same nonsense a Semitic tent swelling nomadic tribe felt ( ironically jws would secretly gloat at that comparison whilst feeling offended at the same time!)

.vienne But it was also pirated and made a torrent download. Every free download cost me money.
Yes, my husband had a lot of material released on a compilation album that went straight to number one in the American Indie charts. Without an expensive lawyer he had no recource. Only found out when a friend bought the album in an independent music store. Few years ago now , but it's been going on long before the days of torrents😡

The thing about Mike and Kim, whatever you say about them, they sure are entertaining!!
I honestly think, with the right guidance, they have the potential to make it BIG!
Seriously, Mr. Angry and Mrs. Endearing...good mixture for the masses...
I like things a little more high brow myself. Susan Gaskin's my girl!!
And Katy Kitten of course!

Lol, WT flagged them for copyright infringement? If I was spreading the truth with the power of God's holy spirit I would want anybody to copy my material.
Confusedalot Exactly! Mike and Kim have one or two Watchtower videos, as I said, just uploaded plain for all to see without commentary. But if this was God's true channel with nothing to hide they should be PROUD that others are showing their videos!
