  i just stumbled over the october issue of our kingdom ministry in norwegian.. the service report numbers are no longer printed.

  why not?

  and do they still print the numbers in your language?.

  we were told to "be more generous" and that we should stop criticising the elders on how they handle matters.

  i'm going to be doing some volunteering for a local branch of the aclu at an art festival tomorrow.

  i'll be talking to people about the work of the aclu, providing brochures, etc.

  i will have on an aclu shirt- there is a possibility that there may even be a flag on it .

  At the very least you will get the "your time is better spent in the ministry" Shepherding call.

  Intriguing Slant On Malawi Situation

  in the late '60's early 70's there were individuals in malawi that were being persecuted(as we were taught) for serving jehovah.. all through this time we were constantly updated on how these individuals for their belief in jehovah were suffering greatly.for their witness and testimony was what they said.. but you know the real reason they were being persecuted?because the government wanted them to register for a card stating that their government was providing them food.. the governing body had told these poor souls that if they signed the card they would be saying that their trust was in man and not in jehovah,because jehovah is the only one who provides food.. here's the truth: malawi being a poor country(as other poor countries in africa)was recieving food from the world food bank.the requirement of the card was so the food bank could issue out the correct amount of food that the government would need to feed it's people.

  that's what it was for,but these men sitting here in america taking nolthought of what was going on in the world threw these people to the lions.. how do you think the government would react when these people refused to sign?but these same people would be looking for the food the government provided.. .

  The brutality seems rather extreme for what amounted to was a food stamp card. All they had to say was no card no food. I think there was a little more to it than that.

  at the past assembly two families were interviewed who had just entered or had been in the full time ministry for a while.

  the following is not word for word but is damn close:.

  family #1- we wanted to enter the pioneer work and prayed over the matter as a family.

  Brotherdan so true. How many people sat out there asked themselves "why doesn't Jehovah find me a job? Why doesn't he save my house? Maybe I need to Pioneer? But then again will it help me? Oops I'm not supposed to think of myself, I'm so confused."

  Their still breathing, they view that as Gods blessing. But Charles Manson is still breathing, so...?

  He makes it rain on the wicked as well as the righteous. Where is the blessing? Its all in how you choose to look at things.

  Family #2 is still in the full time ministry, though the brother, while still an elder, is no longer WT conductor. There house is in foreclosure right now though.
