Chapter 15 New Boy 50 years a Watchtower Slave
by new boy inchapter 15. inwood.
it turned out that in 1970 there was a lot of changes being made at bethel.
one of the major changes was that a bethelite didn’t have to go to kings county or the brooklyn heights congregations first before getting assigned out to a local kingdom hall in the new york city area.

There is a fine in Chile when public venues don't didplsu the national flag. A letter from Jw organization leaves it up to individual congregations in Chile to decide whether or not to display the flag and avoid the fine. There have been a couple of other threads on this topic.
Steve2 it proves to all That financial deterrents work best! $€£ is what they think of first!

Canadian Court Protects JW Minor
by Lee Elder inhttp://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/jehovahs-witness-blood-transfusion-1.4299992.
clearly the right move by this doctor and court.
unfortunately, the watchtower continues to try and argue that so called "mature minors" (11-17 years old) should be allowed to follow their irrational policy on blood, even if death could result.

Courts in every land need to protect these adolescents until they reach the age of majority when they will at least have a bit more mental and emotional maturity so as to evaluate the policy, and make their own decision as an adult.
The truth is even at eighteen I would question whether they have reached even physical maturity let alone emotional. The days when the key to the door was given at 21 was far closer to the real age of majority.

Was there really a specific request for money in this week's meeting?
by stuckinarut2 ini have seen a few comments about this week's meeting.. was there actually a part that specified an actual per-publisher amount that should be donated regularly?.
can this be confirmed please?.
i truly cant believe just how brazen the society seems to be getting - and how desperate they are!.

Light Spiller The per-publisher amount was included in a letter that was read out to all the congregation from the platform - the total amounts where:
America = US $ 14.00Spain = US $ 8.34 (7 Euros)
Britian = US $4.08 (£3.00)
Hang on! I feel insulted! Why are they asking twice as much from the Spanish as they are the British?! And why so much more from the yanks?
Are we the poor bloody relatives all of a sudden?!

I'm so glad you have a wonderful granny on side!!
It seems to me you are a very loving son since you won't "land them right in it" by telling grandma how rotten they are behaving. Many kids wouldn't be so forgiving and mature.

If You Question The Governing Body, You're Like Korah
by pale.emperor inanyone who questions the governing bodys authority is labelled as an apostate and almost always they bring up the story of korah and his revolt against moses.. watchtower august 1st, 2002, the article loyally submit to godly authority paragraphs 8-15.. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2002563.
in not so subtle hint, the gb likens themselves to moses, and those who disagree with the gb are korah.. paragraph 15 is actually quite damaging to the gb's argument though:.
it was so unnecessary for all those people to lose their lives.

Phizzy seems to me it is impossible to do this, last time I tried the Elder I asked said "There is sufficient evidence for me to believe in their authority".
It's funny he said that because I was thinking about the Pope, who they revile so much.
He has way more followers.
Lineage goes right back to the apostles.
Catholics DO have love for neighbour, they build schools hospitals, food banks etc
Miracles have been done by Catholic saints ( according to themselves)
Edit: Catholic church has more blessings in the form of money and beautiful " quick builds" lol!
Really,there is no difference between them, they both claim similar things with zero evidence.
JUST obey the GovBod so thoroughly because they hold their relatives hostage. The minute they stop doing that we will see how "loyal" jws are!!

What is Nature's most perfect food?
by compound complex ingreetings, gourmands of the forum!.
i agree with garfield, but mayo comes in a close second.
slathering my pasta with an inch of best foods real mayonnaise (hellman's, east of the rockies) is close to heaven for me.

Olives...yummy
Eggs are very versatile,too. Nice omelette!
Mangos are my fave fruit.
But I suppose you'd have to say wheat, because you can make flour to make bread
Salt and pepper are pretty handy too.
