  do you think the watchtower will ban commenting at the meetings one day?

  if you are pimo, you might want to try to make some comments to make others think about the “truth”!

  I don't think the WT Q&A will disappear any time soon. It's not a discussion or debate it is simply reciting the published answers.

  However, the CO visit has changed over the years. He used to give 4 talks, now down to 3 and none of them have any audience participation. The older ones on here will remember the CO visit on Saturday evening "new things learned" which was questions on the previous 6 months WT's. He wouldn't take QA's in his Public Talk but would involve the audience in the other two.

  Some may also remember the late DO David Carter who would even take answers from the audience at a Circuit Assembly.

  New light and confessing to congregations.

  by asp59 in

  2. bible

  2017 - wt: the gb is neither inspired or infallible and can err in doctrine and organisational matters... clearly gb have received biblical information about things that been done wrong.

  not from god directly, but letters received at headquarters.

  if important new light about biblical matters have come to the gb attention, why are they not telling the congregations about that information?

  I think there are plenty of Bethelites, including "heavies" that know there are problems with doctrine and organisation. However to misquote a scripture "where else can they go?"

  If they speak up they could be down the road with no savings, no accommodation, no pension and no transferable skills. A very scary thought and even more so with the current situation.

  Wouldn't all of that be taken care of by the "anti-matter/matter" situation?

  If that was correct, why didn't he use the magic "anti-matter" at the flood so he didn't have to kill billions of innocent animals? It would also have saved Noah and family spending 50 years building a wooden box. All twaddle of course!

  The French Connection

  The Bruce Willis remake of The Jackal was a disaster, only watched it once.

  Thank you for that. As painful as it will be to watch it will surely be better than the "padded out" version!

  hi,.

  as far as i can understand is that male-female friendship is a no go for jws.

  Usually best to introduce yourself on a first post. Tell us a little about your current JW situation etc. Otherwise people may think you are a troll as evidenced by several that have come and gone over the years.

  TRICKY WORDS and why not to use them

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  tricky words .

  perfectly good words go unused in writing and speaking.

  their meaning isn't clear and the eye is 'tricked' by similarity to other words or sounds.. .

  I like the word FACETIOUS. It uses all the vowels and they are in alphabetical order. It's the only word I know like that. Any others?

  by 2020, 114 launches carried around 1,300 satellites to space, surpassing the 1,000 new satellites per year mark for the first time.

  but no year in the past compares to 2021. as of sept. 16, roughly 1,400 new satellites have already begun circling the earth, and that will only increase as the year goes on.

  just this month, spacex deployed another 51 starlink satellites into orbit.. right now, there are nearly 6,000 satellites circling our tiny planet.

  Right now, there are nearly 6,000 satellites circling our tiny planet. About 60% of those are defunct satellites—space junk—and roughly 40% are operational.

  "Global networks track nearly 30,000 pieces of space junk as they journey around Earth, from defunct satellites to rocket stages. However, there's far more debris that's too small to be tracked but is big enough to threaten satellites or astronauts on board spacecraft". - Six ways shoebox-sized satellites are trying to change the world - BBC News

  Shoe Box satellites are being launched at an incredible rate, many fail and just add to the junk floating around the earth. Nothing will be done until there is a disaster of course.
