It's a longshot, but maybe they will say "the work is done" Matt. 24:14 has been accomplished.
Think of how much money they will save by bringing missionaries home. Ramping down production of printed material, and liability from a pioneer pedo. The d2d work brings in very few coverts, and the flock is wearing out and dropping off.

our friend, oompa, has passed away.
just recieved the news a couple of hours ago, and have almost no details.
it happened today or yesterday, he took his own life.
Rip oompa
the world is a sadder smaller place without you my friend.
they've df him...we all were following the judicial of raypublisher....jwstruggle....eric and we all are now awaiting the full video with full details.. this is a happy but hard time since he still has family in...let's try to strengthen him!
he surely needs it now.
give him encouraging words/pictures/videos!.
Eric's video and audio recording of the meeting was ingenious. I think that showing what really happens behind closed doors in the JC meetings will be enlightening to many. Plus he was DFed for simply holding a different opinion than the GB.
This practice of disfellowshipping those who simply cannot believe the ever changing interpretations of the society is contrary to the concept of free speech that the organization itself champions for its own ministry. Their message is clear.....If you do not wholeheartedly believe everything we tell you (even though it is subject to change), we will take all of your friends and family from you. What a loving organization.
Eric you are the Man! I hope to see you on Dateline exposing this false religion for what it is.

one possible scenario for future manned exploration of mars is that the astronauts would be given what amounts to a "one-way ticket" with enough fuel and supplies to get them there and keep them alive but with no plans to return them to earth.. this may strike our modern sinsibilities as an absurd requirement for a mission, and yet it is not much different from what prospect was faced by ocean voyagers during the "age of exploration" right here on earth.
comments?
if you were able to qualify, would you be willing to do this?.
No. I love my wife and kids too much. I would rather have three years with them than 3 years in a capsule to go to mars. Take a look at things geologically ( in terms of time) and it becomes a stupid mission. Our probes are sending back good intel. There is no need to waste the nations money and several lives to go to mars.
Life is short. It is a waste to go to mars. Just my opinion based on where I am at in my life.

"15 in lands around the globe, only jehovah's.
witnesses have adopted god's.
way of thinking as a group.".
pg 28 par 18.
The very concept of "foreigner" has already
lost much of its meaning among
Jehovah's Witnesses, who pay little attention
to the nationality of those in
their midst. Recently, for example, several
of their smaller branch offices were
merged to simplify the work of oversight
and to improve efficiency in accomplishing
the preaching of the good
news of the Kingdom. (Matt. 24:14)
"15 in lands around the globe, only jehovah's.

Witnesses have adopted God's

"A world without foreigners"
didn't see this posted already so i thought i would start a new topic.
three-page article about in vitro fertilization and what to do with frozen embryos.
the way i read it is everything to do with ivf is a conscience matter unless it involves a 3rd party then it's considered porneia.
Frozen eggs or embryos?
well i figured i should give you all an update.
they will be dfing me soon for apostasy.
it is not a huge surprise and i am not afraid nor "shaking in my boots", however i will admit it is stressful right now.
Hang in there man. I know you have been through hell the last couple of years. I sure appreciate your example and courage. Fight the fine fight brother!

Why I know the world is flat.
By Iamani Diot
The World is flat. This is the most important belief that I possess. This knowledge defines me, and is my point of reference for all that I believe.
These are the reasons that I know the world is flat:
Despite the abundant proof mentioned above, there are some among us who dispute the fact that the earth is flat. These ones are arrogant imposters, not of our sort, who are determined to corrupt our minds. They are mentally diseased.
The Devil has blinded their minds and gotten them to question the most basic of all truths. Once they question the simplest of truths and claim that the world is round; then their minds are open for all sorts of deception. One doubt is all it takes. My fellow Villagers, never let your hearts be tested by these foolish questionings of men. Always remember that one thing can never change....The world is flat. Let this truth safeguard you and reject the false arguments that the Devil makes.
