  I used to work as a sec for a congr. When the congr. missed the date (under ban country, hard to corespondent with Brooklyn). We received a letter from a branch said we can move the date to "a month latter, as long as it is closest to a fullmoon day." From that day onward, I learned all about Metonic cycle, calendar etc.. and even wrote a small program for my PC, just to make sure my congr never miss again. I pretty sure there was a KM answer what if a congr. miss the Society's date and the answer is same " a month latter." jwsons

  The Borg take the day before fullmoon day Thursday March 24 because it is Thursday, most of KH in all over the world have meeting that day. However, according to the Bible, it should be on Friday 25, They never care about the day or time, only convenient and money (some KH are rent, extra day renting , extra electrical spending etc...).
  I confirm: As mention in the March Kingdom Ministry page 3
  
  :"The Memorial will be held on Thursday , March 24, 2005. If your congregation normally has meetings on Thursday, these are to be switch to another day of the week if the Kingdom Hall is available. If this is not possible and your Service meeting is affected, the parts that are particularly applicable to your congregation may be incorporated into another Service Meeting."
  
  
  Hey, make sure this year, we have to ask Randy, Simon, Skully, Amazing, HawkHawk to go to the BBQ so they won't go to the Kingdumb Hall to take the emblem. Otherwise, it will happen again "have 5 extra 'annointed ones' like last year annual record (as showed on the yearbook and annual record of Watchtower Feb. 2005, increased 5 extra "annointed ones"!) Make sure all newbies stay home, so the extra number won't increase over-limited. HaHaHa!!!!

  my name is ayernye... sometimes i go by stephan... it used to be stephen mcguire back when i was a witness in the wilmington and groton massachusetts congregations from '83 - '94.

  was a pioneer and ministerial servant and was married for two of those years.

  with tremendous agony and confusion, i moved far away to discover myself... took years to adjust to my new reality... drugs... drinking... anything to numb my tired brain... but the transformation was eventual and so worth it... of course... i am now my own person... mostly happy, adjusted and living my life to the best i can... .

  "<B> MORE EMPHASIS ON THE BIBLE</B>

  5) Hence, from January, 2006, Awake! will place greater emphasis on God's Kingdom.....Zech 8:23.

  6) Awake! will continue to feature topics of general interest. However, more emphasis will be laid on the Bible (1 Thess. 2:13). Since The Watchtower contains deep Biblical information and Awake! will feature more material that is Scriptural in nature, it does not seem necessary to continue publishing Awake! twice a month. Therefore, beginning with its January 2006 issue, Awake! will be published as monthly magazine. This will result in considerable simplification in the preparation, transaltion, and shipping of our literature.

  7) This change will affect about 40 percent of the languages in which Awake! is published. In most languages, Awake! is already a monthly or a quarterly publication. There will be no change in the publication of The Watchtower"

  Try to trap some "lukewarm-brothers/sisters" from your area, Brother HawkOwls (prey-birds) ? If you are an active witness, please don't tell Ingleburn you are hook to the net and have a website, a forum, "faithful"(!)- brother.

  Both the Watchtower and "You Know" are wrong, wrong, WRONG!

  2. bible

  will people who die at armageddon really be finished forever?

  yes, the scripture says that they will be "killed" but not thrown into the lake of fire.

  but what about the scripture at revelation 17:8?

  The first post in this topic hasn't been answer. Why trying to distract everyone with bla bla...? The question is in the Bible. nowhere else.
