after hearing of the sad news about farkel i thought i'd revisit the 'best of' section to see the 'best of farkel'... .
i seem to be redirected to the log in page.
i think i may have asked about this before a few months or years ago, not sure.
I just go to search if I have an idea of who and a subject in particular. It isn't always the best way to do it. If I bookmark a page that impressed me that helps sometimes.
You can get to "Best of " in jehovahs-witness.com but I always come back to .net because I know my way around here. Simon will fix it. It will take some time because he actually has a real job and family.
would love your feedback!.

Just type the terms into the search engine at the top of this page. You will find at least a dozen links to check out.
The stocks were donated to the "society" and it produced a good income. They kept the stocks... Its all about the money!

Great post, bumping it for the newbies
a different view of matthew 24. a striking feature of all this writing (the new testament) is that it was dine in the street language of the day, the idiom of the playground and marketplace.
in the greek-speaking world of that day there were two levels of language: formal and informal.
formal language was used to write philosophy and history, government decrees and epic poetry.
I really like the The Message Bible.
the 70s passed by in a haze of bad fashions and flaccid watchtower excess.
i tried hard to be bright-boy, thinking somehow that i was pleasing the inhabitants of heaven by doing so, and was rapidly pushed up jacobs corporate ladder, somehow without ever having to put my foot on a rung.
regular pioneer, ms, infant elder, special pioneer, temporary co, special branch assignments, they dropped on me with a rapidity that took away my senses.
Word candy indeed! I am sorry he doesnt post any more.... Perhaps we will find Hilary's prose elsewhere on the web someday.
.....whether it be in the congregation or from "headquarters"?
Anything new but the Conti case?
for the past few years the questions from readers in the wt have been pathetic rehashes of old material, or just stupid newbie quetions answered in the pe book.
i know that they must be getting thouands of well thought out questions from sincere readers, yet none of these questions make the column.
i know that this is not surprising to many here.
I have never sent a letter, but find it amazing that so many have had such an experience.
i'm thinking about going to church again because i'm really interested in god (today)!!.
sometimes i'm so confused and feel like there is no god, other days i do and want to try and get to know him.. i guess i'm scared because of all the bs that went on in the kh.. there is a local baptist church near me that seems nice.
i'm in the uk.
Gumby is back!!!!
when i was last here, my mother had recently been diagnosed with cancer.
there were potential issues regarding transfusion, none of which eventuated.
she undertook a course of chemo which worked quickly and effectively, with minimal side-effects.
I'm glad you could share your pain with us. We do need reminders of our mortality and the need to slow down and take care of each other.
Welcome back.
