  Recording and Submitting Time Slips

  by Defender in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  submitting monthly time records is one of those requirements that i had always wondered about.

  i mean how much hours and rvs did paul submit and how many magazines and subscriptions did peter record.. i always had difficulty achieving the national average, although i used to go frequently out in service.

  i just could not bring myself to count the time driving to the service arrangements, driving around looking for houses, and driving off publishers afterwards.. this kept me from being appointed an ms from some time.

  The Taliban and The Watchtower

  2. friends

  it`s amazing the unusual bed-fellows one finds from time to time.. it seems that certain traits know no national boundaries.

  while watching the news the other day men with turbans living in afganistan.

  began to resemble men with suits dwelling in brooklyn.

  Run, Watchtower, Run

  by Uncanny in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i watched an entertaining german film on cable last night called run.

  lola, run.

  the plot revolves around how a young woman named lola has 20 minutes to come up with 100,000 marks or her boyfriend gets executed by the mob.. the film cleverly replays a 20 minutes running scene in which lola reacts differently each time to things which happen on her run(s).. one incident has lola nearly knocking down an old woman pedestrian as she rounds a corner.

  some watchtower interpretations are speculative,.

  a very few are arguable,.

  and many are just stupid and specious.. perhaps the most stupid and specious interpretation.

  Episodes of Craziness

  by JWD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  over the last ten years or so i`ve seen and heard things which when.

  looked at objectively can only be termed `craziness`.however, in some.

  cases these episodes of craziness might be viewed as wonderful testimonies to a strong commitment to jahovah.

  Position on College Changed?

  by Maximus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  several have made outright statements and others have suggested that the society's negative position on higher education has changed.

  'the society does not discourage higher education where i live.

  ' worse, 'apostates have made it all up--the society has never discouraged education.

  2. friends

  i recieved this in my e-mail this morning.

  i love the last paragraph!

  it seems that these ones feel most jws aren't worth talking to as far as spiritual maturity is concerned.
