Im surprised people have voted Stephen Lett. He's a bumbling old fool but i think he genuinely believes the stuff he's saying. I thought it'd be a Tony Tightpants washout.
Maybe that is what he wants people to think. If you rewatch the "we need money" Broadcast he hosted, you'll see he isn't averse to lying to millions of people while talking down to them.
i've noticed that some elders will insist on getting a special bethel speaker for memorials, special talks, or sometimes for no reason at all!
i believe they are trying build connections they can use later, but who pays for it?
the congregation does and as a former account servant i can tell you airfare isn't all that cheap.
$1100, cheaper than for a Circuit Assembly
Every 3 years doesn't seem so bad. I think the problem is that some Elders use it as a networking opportunity and want to know all the Bros from Bethel, when that isn't really what special talks are supposed to be about.
a nearby star, ross 128, about 11 light years away, seems to be putting out some rather remarkable radio waves.
discovered by the arecibo observatory in puerto rico (the one shown in the move contact) other observatories like the allen telescope array are set to begin observations in the next couple of days to make sure the signal really is coming from interstellar space and isn't caused by instrument malfunction or radio waves bouncing off satellites.
it could be anything at this point (but very-very unlikely aliens).
Satan works in mysterious ways, he would love for us to believe that there is other intelligent life out there. Then maybe we would question the whole genesis account of creation. I for one am determined not believe any evidence that life may exist on other planets just as I deny all the evidence for evolution right now. JK

Same thing here, the Brother actually appeared nervous and unsure of what to say at certain parts LOL

Now I could see doing this everyone once in awhile, if it is an excellent speaker but some of these guys are just flat out dull. There are local brothers in the circuit who are better. Anybody else notice this trend?
loyalty—part of the new personality (s-341a-18-e 5/17).
note to the circuit overseer:.
use this outline for the tuesday service talk from september 2017 through february 2018. you will need to prepare your own 30-minute service talk for use after the watchtower study.
"Love for Jehovah should never be separated from the personal attachment that a couple have for each other (Mt 22:37)"
What it means is that they want you to equate love for Jehovah (WT Org) with love between a couple. Basically if someone slows down spiritually, that must mean there is a problem in the couples relationship. It's ridiculous but lots of JW women buy into it, thinking a successful marriage is a product of love for God.
take a ride with me back to 1987. picture yourself in your town, or city centre.
remember the clothes people wore, the hairstyles etc.... now imagine yourself doing your ministry out on the street, engaging with people, speaking with them, striking up conversations.
now, how would you feel, and what would you say, if you noticed two people appear nearby with a cart.
Actually in those days some bros and sisters would go to busy areas and just hold up the magazines waiting for people to pass by but the counsel was to try to talk to as many people as possible.
i realize that prayer is a really personal thing, but representing a group in prayer has become so full of cliche's that i just want to vomit sometimes.
co week almost every prayer has the phrase "special week of activity" in it.. then there's "please look after the sick and afflicted.".
not so much anymore, "please bless this food and the hands that prepared it.".
I hated when the brother giving the prayer would summarize his own talk, like we just heard this earlier can we get on with it?
Damn, thought I was going to get to go a strip club LOL
the searcher started a topic addressing the gt, a comment from sparrowdown asked an interesting question -.
"...the political powers of satan's world will form a coalition..."that's the statement that interests me.
what are they alluding to?.
Yes, they switched to coalition of nations because the idea that the UN is major player on the world scene is too ridiculous. I found it funny that by changing a linking verb from "of" to "and" you get a totally different group in a different time period. In both cases there is zero evidence to support their speculation, they don't even really know what the original fulfillment was supposed to have been. Yet, they presume to know the larger meaning, LOL
