  KM Jan 2011 Family Worship

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there is a big insert in the jan kingdom ministry about the family worship night (which has evolved new capital letters - like governing body.).

  some helpful suggestions include the head of the household putting an agenda on the fridge door a few days ahead for the family to "build excitement and anticipation" (i kid you not.

  ) the provision is compared to the sabbath arrangement as a gift from god.

  Following GB equals following Christ (Visual Aid)

  by Rank&FileGuy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  .

  just a visual aid to help everyone understand what message they're conveying in the watchtower study this coming sunday.

  it's funny but just by using their first names instead of "governing body" really brings home the ridiculousness of it.. -rfg.

  Eliminating all traces of exJWs

  by Scully in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does anyone know if it is common practice for jws to take down or remove photos of dfd or dad family members within their homes?.

  if so, is there any basis for this practice within wt literaturetm?

  or is it simply a matter of "going beyond the things written" in order to hurt and disrespect the target, and extended family members who have close ties to the target?.

  Can we understand the Bible without the Watchtower?

  by brotherdan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  not according to c.t russell.

  in the september 15, 1910 wt he made these shocking claims regarding the 6 scripture studies that he wrote:.

  "that is to say, they are not merely comments on the bible, but they are practically the bible itself...".

  At the least, the Democrats are all out for rights and stuff like that.

  I'm not saying that they are the best and all... but I think that we need more acceptance of all sorts of people in the Society.

  Might actually hurry the social breakdown of the WTBTS.

  hi, i usually don't post here a lot but, i spent some time with my aunt and uncle last week.

  he's df'ed and she's inactive but still makes some meetings.

  we somehow got into how bad some of the new songs are and they both mentioned a few interesting things about the songs back in the 60-80's.

  Back then, the songs were actually... shall I say it... good and some were written not by the Society, but by truly talented minds.

  If they were to make songs like of those ages, man.... they could really pipe up the mind control.

  *fistpump*

  I just got a call from Staples today. I missed the call, but found out that it's from the hiring manager.

  I told the woman who told me that he left for the day to tell him that I'm interested in the job and to call me back tomorrow.

  By the way, anyone know anything about working at Staples? (Details plz...?)
