Once as a kid on a Friday night I prayed for really heavy rain on the Saturday morning so that we wouldn't go out on th min, and it rained

a letter was read at our place this week, the wts has asked us to pass a resolution asking that we leave our funds with the society at 0% interest as opposed to the 1% below bank rate(which at the moment means nothing).. of course, it was passed..

Avoiding the Meeting

by brotherdan in

so, darth plaugeis (or however you spell it) has suggested that the best way to get out of going to the meeting is to tell your wife that it's time to get ready for the meeting, and when her back is turned hit her over the head with a large object.. i'm sure there are better ways to get out of going.

i'm looking for some real ideas here.

" i like the whole getting your wife (or husband) drunk before the meeting so they won't want to go idea.

Use the old sick trick, worked every time I used it to skip school(long time ago).

In the hours before the meeting make mention from time to time that you don't feel good - add though that you will be fine for the meeting, the ill feeling will pass(makes you look good).

When the time comes, start to get ready for the meeting, get yourself something small to eat(bread or whatever you guys eat as a snack), get into the bathroom, chew it up, make some horrible noise, spit it into the bowel, call for water - wife can see your ill - job done. Wait untill the fam leave and crack open a beer, put the football on TV.

i hate to ask you good folks to jump around but the first post in the thread below explains why i'm going into the jc meeting, hence the basis for my questions below.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/198636/1/reply-to-judicial-committee-question-thenoblelodge.

i have no idea how to present my witnesses.

they've already agreed to show up.

I had a JC hearing once, I took a downloaded copy of the Elders book with me and showed them chapter, paragraph and page where they were going wrong! Nothing came of it.

Record it(sound at least) on your cell phone?

If you do then make sure that you ask the right kind of questions(the answers to which could be used for any later discussion).

Be as Matt 10:16 says - cautious as a serpent, innocent as a dove.

BTW I love the amplified bible (use it all the time), it renders:

Matthew 10:16 (Amplified Bible)

Be [ a ] wary and wise as serpents, and be innocent (harmless, guileless, and [ b ] without falsity) as doves. ( A )

Pastor to burn Koran

by beksbks in

us pastor says will burn koran despite petraeus concernshttp://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100907/pl_afp/afghanistanunrestusreligionislampastor.

tue sep 7, 9:21 am et end .byline washington (afp) the pastor of a small florida church said tuesday he will go ahead with his plans to hold a koran burning this week, despite warnings by the us commander of the afghan war of violent reactions in the islamic world.terry jones, who heads the dove world outreach center in gainesville florida, said he had given "serious" consideration to the concerns expressed by general david petraeus over plans to torch a koran to mark the ninth anniversary of the september 11 terror attacks, but said he would proceed anyway.. "we are taking the general's words very serious.

we are continuing to pray about the action on september 11th," he said.. nevertheless, he said "we have firmly made up our mind" to go ahead with burning the muslim holy book.. "i mean, how long, when does america stand for truth?

I havent read all 12 pages of this, so this may have been said already.

Terry Jones(nothing reverend about him) is just pulling some kind of attention seeking trick, the burnings will not go ahead and if need be, will be banned by ur Predident himself. You will see it on the news, plans changed at the last hour!

That being said, the damage has already been done and no doubt their will be some repercussions. If I was Terry Jones(or members of his family) then I would be in fear of loosing my life soon. No doubt there will soon be some kinda fatwa on him(yes I know it's a rare use for the word, but can at times refer to a death sentance).

"Live and let live" - if only everybody felt that way, world would be a sound place(well, apart from the other issues)

GENDER ROLES & THE ANNOINTED

by palmtree67 in

i was thinking further about this because of the many "women as weaker vessels" topics posted lately and also this thread from randy:.

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/198399/1/letter-from-an-anointed-reader-who-dad-after-33-years.

this was about an annointed woman, whose insights were outright discounted by the gb and was told to "wait" for them.. these are my thoughts:.

Cook My Socks UK

In fairness, I don't think the GB takes input from other annointed.

Never thought of that, it's a thread waithing to happen, will though and post if I come up with anythin
