A great, now routine operation. they now send you home the same day. was off painkiller after a week, and then danced the twist at wedding too. (carefully)
Lovely to hear Waton!❤️ I remember my lovely Nanna having it done many years ago and she was in hospital for 6 weeks!!! Mind you it was very successful and she was doing gentle ballet exercises not long after!

Surprised New Zealand shows an increase but I’d be willing to bet these are mostly Islanders from Polynesian Islands.
I imagine these people are single handedly responsible for getting Geoffrey Jackson his gig on the Governing Body. He probably made so many easy converts among them it was mistaken for Jehovah blessing him, rather than the result of an obsessive turn toward western religion by a people divorced from their culture by colonisation.

I’m only an ignorant’ female medic begin’ yer pardon, but isn’t the point that whatever the cost of a Kingdom Hall, the ones they are currently selling were built using donated money? And any future Kingdom Halls are being paid for with a watchtower (we forgive your loan) “mortgage” in PERPETUITY by the congregations???

Slim boy fat Gilead stops training new missionaries
They still have Gilead graduations though, don’t they?
This has always confused me, since I heard they were closing the missionary school, too.
I wonder what the excuse they gave for that was, no.1, and No.2 what do the current Gilead graduations represent?

Quote Misquote Misleading
by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara inthe latest watchtowel (march 2020) study edition has a question from readers ‘what evidence exists outside the bible that the israelites were slaves in egypt?’ from what i read in the bible unearthed there being nothing to base any claims on.
the article gives a quote by ‘dr.
bimson : “the biblical traditions of the bondage in egypt and of the exodus have a firm historical basis.” no links or sources given.

I’m given to understand two things which raises questions before we even begin to look for evidence.
firstly, during the era the Israelites fled Slavery, Egypt had a vast empire which stretched right through Canaan all the way to modern day Iraq.
So effectively the Israelites fled Egypt to......Egypt.
secondly, if the Biblical figures are correct for the number of Israeli slaves, if they marched 5 abreast the last slaves would be leaving Egypt when the first slaves were approaching the promised land (I have not verified this myself but given it was only 9 days away by chariot, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility).

meeting attendance
by asp59 inhow much has meeting attendance gone down say the last 10-15 years at khs do you think?

Waton when a local hall is sold, that had a decent easy walk - to attendance , when the longer travel for the drivel to the new, distant hall becomes onerous, attendance will really decline,
That's what I think!
Particularly when it's generally older folks attending. They are going to be the first ones to cut down attendence during bad weather or winter months that get dark early.
Not to mention it's easier for PiMOs to disappear and fade from the new, larger merged congs where no one knows them. I think it's a mistake for Watchtower to do this.
