news reached me a couple of days ago of some big changes in the netherlands for jehovah's witnesses.
a letter from the branch office was read in all congregations so it can easily be verified by lurkers and faders who are still visiting the congregations.. big changes:.
- they are going to sell one of the two assembly halls.
Hi,
I also got the note. They ask 5 Euro per month for 15 years long to 1/3 of the publishers. (extra cost) They need to pay 9 mil. Euro total if they sell a current assembly hall where they want to cash 7 mil. Euro. Total project cost is estimated at 16.7 mil. Euro
I also get the note they will build one in Brussels (Belgium) and 3 in France. Other countries I dont know.

i had to sit though the the special talk yesterday "is it later than you think", the brother a good deal of time making the case that major earthquakes are on the rise, and how i should believe it is "later than i think" based on that fact.
i took a bit of time to research this today, and sure enough they are not.
the link below has a chart of major earthquakes since the mid nineties, and it clearly shows they are random and all over the place.
Just got news there one today an mayor earthquake again in sea arround Indonesia.
Tsunami alerts!
Follow the news.

You know the JW's believe it. we all know here the facts that the rate is steady. (2 earthquakes per hour world wide, 17/18 mayor earthquakes per year and one super earthquake per year)
A lot of things are linked to this rate what we do every day.
Weather, GPS, time
Cantleave made the correlation clear. The world population is increasing and earthquakes NOT!
The point is that an earthquake can hit more people than in the past because their are more people on the planet. due to better construction of the houses less people will be killed unless it hits an 3rd world country with bad construction.

march 26, 2012. news item:.
jehovah's witnesses to reduce pages in watchtower & awake!
magazines.
So they will cut their cost for these publications. The end is near! Now they drop pages in their magazines which will follow by their drop of members.
We will see. 7million is maybe the top. No extra education will affect in my country that they will have no job or an hard job which no time for field service.
Year 2014 we celebrate that the last days take already 100 years and we are proud to annouce that we are going to bundle the awake and Watchtower into one magazine. We preach that a generation are two overlapping ones which give us new light to fullfill this into our monthly publications. Where we had two publication who overlap the same BS into one stronger BS publication.
;) DS
the announcement of the reduced number of pages in the watchtower & awake will be made after the watchtower study following the "special talk" on april 8.. theoretically, that's when there will be more visitors and "outsiders" than usual.
even the talk itself has 1/2 of its content directed at inactive jws.. obviously this reduction in pages has been in the works for several weeks if not months.
why pick that date to announce it?
So why they also not put these two publications then in one magazine????
The sleepytowel something like that.
Or maybe they will do but then for 2014 if they need to cut more in cost.
DS
so to make a long story short, my family found out about my "apostacy"(i couldn't take it anymore) and now everything is all in shambles.
they still feel there is "hope" for me.
(ha!).
Hi,
Simply ask your dad which year the last year was when a Babylonian king was a live?
Then ask him count back and write it down every year which king ruled Babylon.
Then mark the 18th rule year of nebukadnessar.
This as start. You can make it as complicated as you want.
I dont know which kind of material you want to use?
There are many topics based on this and speciall after the Oktober and November publication.

i remember learning at some wt school that world war 1 occured before satan was chucked out of heaven.. .
did anyone else on jwn learn anything similar?.
usualusername .
But how fast can satan travel from heaven to earth?
DS
how long is seven times?
it's important to note that the bible doesn't say.
jehovah's witnesses have calculated that it comes to 2,520 days.
its the same for this year where we have 29 February. 1 day more than 2011. if i count the days of the year 2011 and then asume 2012 has the same amount i will have a problem.
how many days has 3.5 years? its 1277.5 days or 1278 days or 1278.5 days. It depends where the leap year day is been located.
Double the time frame you must have at least one leap year day and maximum two!

this is what we were told in a recent public talk.
if true then it is very intriguing and may support the point being made in the talk that we know nothing compared to god.
the audience was spell bound and even i had to admit the young man gave an excellent talk.. i thought i'd come here to check the facts first though.
Hi James,
You are correct with this.

space must be mass and an atom must be the universe. If you changed that in the title its an correct known statement.
He is mixing some facts and terms.
