The website says it is Encouraging Talk?????
It is.
The talk starts with the announcer ENCOURAGING everyone to donate and help pay for the wonderful facility
i freaking love the web.
this one is "old light", albeit only 2 years old.. speaker is gerrit losch at the 2008 hawaii convention at ~46:30 gerrit confidently explains that the "generation" is indeed the anointed on earth.
no overlapping, no exodus 1:6, no scmenticapelli.. if you can stomach the talk, there are other pearls in there about different elements of the great tribulation and what they mean.

in an effort to increase the praise and honor to jehovah and jesus christ at the time of the memorial, the governing body has arranged for a special period of increased activity during april 2011.
you will be pleased to learn that during april 2011, publishers who wish to serve as auxiliary pioneers may indicate on the application whether they will be working toward a 30-hour or 50-hour requirement for the month.
this is a special arrangement for the month of april 2011 only.
They will never learn. Never.
Information control at its finest.
Thanks, Yknot and the anon-source...
mine was a 1986 ford courier i got after working a summer and obtaining $600.00.
it was a beater and i named him earl.
like this one just white and more zombified:.
1980 Datsun 310 - 5 door hatchback.
Bought for $275 in running condition with a full year remaining on the inspection at a gas station on the Mass/NH border...Registered it in NH, where at the time liability insurance was not a requirement, for a mere $14 for the year....
Busted it badly in an accident in 1995....still miss it....
(Note: Not my actual car, but identical, albeit in maroon)
what im about to post is the exact words from the co during the last talk of the most recent special assembly day.
even though im out i still try to keep up with what is being said just cause i find it interesting, and alot of stuff i find funny, but this stuff is starting to get scary, and i fear for my friends who are still in.
here are the exact words:.
@ min 28 - ...." People are being arrested because of independent thinking"...."families are being broken because of independent thinking"...
LOL, REALLY!?! because of "independent thinking"!?
These fuc#s have no shame....
my brother-in-law has always been a jerk and i never liked him.
he married my sister and had a family.
not long after, he became an elder and he thought that he was the shit!
Well, this is not very Christmas like, but good for him. Eff him...
this is unbelievable!
theocratic warfare with the courts?.
elder states that jw's do not shun: (listen to his weak definition of shunning).
If I am not mistaken, this very farce happened at the custody hearing of our own "alamb".
Don't you want to reach into the screen and sucker punch the Mfer?
so here we have, in the verse above, a short list of prohibitions.
why is this list of prohibitions so short?where did this "abstain" list come from?.
first they decided that circumcision not be prohibited (since it is not on the list).
This would be a serious Witness argument in response to this essay.
Exactly, Sab.
You have put together excellent reasoning backed by quotes and research - more reasons to be seen as independently thinking by an indoctrinated JW and therefore quickly dismissed....
so an elder came to my door the other day in field circus.
i looked through the peephole to see who it was, but the way the door is situated against the sky in the background i couldn't see anything but a silhouette.
not to mention he was standing off to the side so to make it hard for anyone to see who was knocking.. so i open the door thinking it was my friend since he is the only jw that knows where i live.
Would be nice if this guy tries to go against Mother and feels first hand the backlash. Just might wake him up.....
Soldier77, I realize that this would have to be at your emotional expense, so above scenario is hypothetical...
according to the governing body letters blogspot, the february 2011 km establishes a prohibition on reading the daily text at meetings for field service.. no further details are given.
anyone have theirs and can post a scan or a summary?.
Squeeze more door banging time out of the R&F. 10-15 mins is not really much time, but multiplied by, say conservatively, 2 mil JWs is 500,000 hours of "preaching time" lost in lolly gaging...
