i took a quick trip to the store and i happened to see a young man (about 26-28 years old) who got baptized about the same time i was leaving- about 2 years ago.
a couple of pioneer sisters found him in the door to door work.
one of them, a very attractive girl.
i guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.
we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.
it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.
yes Blondie every month they withdraw from your bank account like if it is cable bill.
if the first year of these arengment was tough I can imagine next year will be brutal.
pixel, cappytan, and wifibandit present for your consideration:.

the saturday program will be added tomorrow, followed by the sunday program the next day..
prayer is the act of saying something to someone that doesn't exist.
above all else, we need to respect ourselves for, if we don't, we are not capable of respecting others..
thirdly, bow to no one for if they had any respect for you, they wouldn't ask you to bow..
I beleive and God and think prayer is stupid and a waste of time.
example last broadcast you had guy who lost his Job but prayed and some months later he found a Job. but all those months he had food and shelter thanks to the government who gave him unemployment not god.
so if he is Christian or Hindu or budist, he is going get hooked up by the goverment, but try to do that in a third world country you will starve to death.
#notsatire.
thanks to wifibandit and pixel for collaborating on this.
more to come.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxce4duetw8.
the governing body is unable to leave the mid 20th century.

keeps hiccuping.
with the same old question and the same answer.
in reality I think they whant less growth when you have dumb parts like how to talk to blind people or go visit elderly homes you see that they whant you to waste your time.
mr. geoffrey jackson hosts this month's propaganda-fest, and uses a favourite catchphrase of the org - "by extension" - to get out of the dead-end which the scriptwriters had put him in.
he quotes matthew 10:22 - "and you will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my [jesus'] name; but he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.".
mr. jackson knows only too well that probably no j.w.
yes they all look alike fat and out of shape.
had to turn it off, he thinks he is some kind of bible scholar.
so we all know that "crazy" brother or sister.
every kingdom hall has one.
they give the best comments (from a hilarious perspective), have experiences with the "demons", but most importantly, they are on about 10 deifferent kinds of medications.
