  We pray for the governing body

  since when has it become cool to pray for the gb?

  i noticed that at the begining of my fade back in 2015, it had already been there for a good while and was already getting on my nerves.

  i means, i grew up in it, but can't remember much further than the 90s and i don't remember this being always in the payers.

  Merger aftermath

  by Rattigan350 in

  a couple of months ago, i reported on my congregation being disolved and merged with another.. on sept 1, cong b merged with cong a using the same hall, thereafter using cong a's meeting times.

  also nearby cong c moved into the hall using cong b's meeting times and cong c's kh is being put up for sale.. i've since been to both sunday meetings and both midweek meetings.

  at all, the parking lot is totally full, cars have to park around the corner and on the street.

  The meeting attendance will decline. Large congregations make fading so much easier.

  Another silly Bible story...this time brought to you by Moses

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  does this silly bible story make any sense after you take off your rose-colored glasses?.

  moses comes down from the mountain with two freshly made tablets of stone written with the finger of god.

  one commandment on the stone tablet reads '' you must not kill/murder.

  And don’t forget the watchtowers poster boy King David. He was a total dick but the watchtower still loves him.

  Trudeau's chocolate charm.

  by waton in

  e liked the success, explaining the repeat performanceswhy would an alpha male like the former prime minister's elliot trudeau's son justin want to appear different?

  here is my theory:.

  he took acting lessons, and is still using the acquired skills.

  Trudeau is an idiot. I wouldn’t be surprised Canadians give him another mandate. If they do they are idiots.

  Anyone have someone move in and take over the congergation?

  i have been in two congregations where someone moved in from the big city and took over with the attitude of the northerners when they go south, i come from where they do it right.

  like bulls in china shops they remove people and do the house cleaning like the political org cult it is.

  what are you resolved to do if under ban?.

  i wonder how many people were thinking about how that would be a great excuse to leave!

  finally, a good out, you were just too afraid of the persecution.

  Persecution of Jws is unlikely to happen anytime soon in Canada. We have way too many “rights”.

  ad on tv had the exact cartoon figures as caleb, sophia and parents.

  i cant convince anyone pimi that the gb didnt come up with the programming all by themselves.

  the mormon kids look similar too.

  Link to ad or it didn’t happen, however I would be willing to believe that both religions are using the same consulting firm. There are just way too many similarities.

  highlights from Circuit Overseer Guidelines

  i just finished looking through the circuit overseer manual, so here are some highlights.

  first up, regarding circuit assemblies:.

  if a brother is so extremely overweight that others would be distracted if he had a part on the program, good judgment would need to be used in deciding whether to give him an assignment.

  You could tell he was really uncomfortable giving the talk with no one to baptize. This was when i believed more than I do now.

  I think that they should cancel the talk if no one shows to be baptized.

  I was only ever at one baptism talk where there were no baptized. I felt sorry for the brother giving the talk.
