We have not as yet heard of this arrangement in the UK as far as I am aware. Have any UK posters heard anything? We have not heard about the change in magazine distribution either.

Change in meeting attendance procedure - can't figure out why though
by sir82 inper a recent letter to elders:.
beginning september 1, there will be a change to the way attendance is recorded at congregation meetings.. currently, attendance is counted at 4 of the 5 meeting (public talk, wt study, congregation "bible" study, and service meeting).. but after sept. 1, meeting attendance will only be taken at 2 of the meetings - during the "first quarter" of the wt study, and also at the cbs.. .
no reason in given for the change in the letter, and i can't figure out why myself.. the numbers are not published anywhere - the only "official" record is a 6 month average the co puts together during his visit.. why request less information from the congregations, especially when it "costs" nothing to accumulate it in the first place?

But when it comes to someone that hasn't finished school yet but is trying to help people..you ignore them and bombard them with statistics and things from the 1970s
It seems like this kid is still at school. I wonder what his parents would think of him sitting in bedroom running a YouTube channel like this instead of watching porno movies like regular JW kids!

You should have reached it and petted it on the head. I have heard they are very friendly.
You can always tell a conger fisherman in the pub - they raise their first finger and pinky and ask for four pints!

People 'studied' these books, Babylon the Great, Revelation, Your Will Be Done, and promptly forgot them. Few today will remember anything in them and the newer ones are just happy with the 192 page paperbacks that do not require any thinking about.

Eel is not so readily available here in the UK these days, but Conger Eel is and is absolutely delicious. Just like a good cod steak but sweeter.

Oh look, he has a full head of hair! ohhh, wait a minute! It's a side part! Geez, he just about had me fooled.
For collectors of Splane images you may look on Page 4 of the June 15, 2010 WT and see a REAR VIEW (bald on top) as he conducted the choir at the AGM singing three of those wonderful new melodies...............................
He also gave a talk on the importance of MUSIC so maybe he is responsible for the new song book!

Two Trees in the Garden of Eden
by God_Delusion inisn't it weird how so few know that there were actually two major trees in the garden of eden account.. there was the tree of knowledge (of good and bad) and there was also the tree of life.. genesis chapter 3 makes is quite clear that god banished adam and eve from the garden and placed an angel to guard the tree of life, so that they might not eat from it again.
is this implying that the two perfect humans had to eat from the tree in order to have eternal life?
if not, why protect it?.

Many years ago I heard a public talk that dealt with this. The bro said there were two trees in the Garden of Eden and that Jehovah would have allowed time to pass for Adam & Eve to prove their faithfulness by not eating of the forbidden tree and he would then have let them eat of the tree of life which would have given them immortality.
Do not know where he got that info but that is what he said.
All a bit pointless of course if you think A & E were just an alllegorical tale!
