And I love the new "Shawn" picture, a very mature, respected, elder brother!
I had to laugh......I was in my hotmail account and I think I seen an ad that had the Shawn Colton's pic from the FB posting.

8 and the dragon lost the battle, and he and his angels were forced out of heaven.
9 this great dragonthe ancient serpent called the devil, or satan, the one deceiving the whole worldwas thrown down to the earth with all his angels.. 12 "therefore, rejoice, o heavens!.
for the devil has come down to you in great anger,.
I read where one fellow was promoting the Tunguska 1908 event in Siberia as being when Satan was cast down to the earth.
robert pevy, who joined the editorial dept (formerly writing comm) some decades ago, and was chief writer of the infamous "revelation, its grand climax" book, has died.. apparently his grand opus was edited, because lloyd barry "did not like some of the explanations".
what i wonder is, were pevy's explanations more looney than what went in to the final draft?
love.
That 7 trumpets of Revelation = 7 JW conventions was a load of crap.
They still sticking to this meaning or has there been "new light" on this?

to all bodies of elders .
The November 15, 2008, Watchtower, pages 14 and 15, paragraphs 12 and 13, states:
“Some individuals stop preaching and attending meetings because they have committed a serious
sin. They may feel that if they confess their wrongdoing to the elders, they will be disfellow-
shipped. But they will not be expelled from the congregation if they have discontinued the un-
scriptural practice and are genuinely repentant. (2 Cor. 7:10, 11)
Here's a better idea.....why don't they send the elders to these inactive ones to confess the sins of the WTS!
Sounds similar to what I remember. A special effort right before Memorial to get people to come back. The special attention along with the emotion of the Memorial might do the trick for some. Elders usually just made a judgement call on who might be receptive.

1. my boss tells me to take more initiative and solve problems on my own so i don't have to bother him so much.. i take the effort to track down information that will help solve a certain problem.
boss fusses wanting to know why i tracked down the information without notifying him.
i contact someone who will have access to information to solve another problem.boss fusses wanting to know why i contacted that person without his knowledge.
If you need to keep your job to make it, do whatever it takes to get his approval and stay on his good side. With a down economy, many companies are making employees cuts. The easiest way to make it look legal is to lay the groundwork then say the employee has "performance issues".
Just because a person is the boss doesn't mean they know how to boss effectively.
Do whatever it takes to survive. Good luck to you.

does knowing that jws are not god-chosen organisation they claim to be break your heart when you see them do fs in extreme conditions, like during a hot summer day or in snow?.
Don't feel pity, because when I truly believed, I enjoyed it and was happy.
Nowdays, when I see them.....I'm more embarressed that I did it.

"youth" book and "young people ask" admitts that 97% boys and 92% of girls masturbate but of course none of the holy decent witness teenagers would ever do such a thing and earn jehovahs anger!
how realistic is this?
97% of the world have t.v's or a telephone!

it seems like you can't take a sh*t without the society telling you how to!!!.
i'm sooooo glad i'm out!.
Let's see.....keep up with ever-changing doctrine (new light), put in your weekly requirements of study, meetings & field service (do it exactly how WTS wants), obey every WTS intrusion into your personal choices concerning education, entertainment, family, work, sex life, etc. Don't question anything concerning wacky views on blood, holidays, political & social issues, etc. The few "gray areas" they do claim to give your conscience.....is governed by the conscience of nosey, loud mouths in the cong. that don't think what you are doing is right. The mirco-managing never ends.
This wacky WTS organization is unreasonable and it looks like people are leaving in droves.
