Yes, I get it. The fly wore out the Sun, theory=Eternity. What fool doesn't get that?
Some will spend an eternity with Jehovah, and some will just have to suck it up on the earth for an eternity. It all makes sense.
I didn't hear that illustration in my hometown.....during my DA. This was A. Morris concept.
I really don't fake illness, KS. I do have a legitamate health reason to slow down.
I know exactly how you feel, COBE. I care too much for my family to let this tear them apart. It's better to slow down, and blame it on your heath.
if you look on page 10, "what is god's purpose for the earth?," you'll see an illustration of adam in the garden--with a belly button!!
what were the wt artists thinking????.
i'd post a scan but, alas, i'm unable to in my present locale..
Well, that is a very good find.
I believe that we finally have discovered a weakness in the proof reading dept. You may see this belly button disapear in future productions of this brochure.
Very funny Billy, I can't beleive that we would have thought that way back then.
as of 5 years ago in my congregation, the "faithful slave" was rarely mentioned in talks, prayers, etc.
usually it was all about jehovah, and jesus got his token phrase at the end of a prayer with "in jesus name, amen".. now, in the past couple years i've noticed, especially since the elders have gone to the elders school, almost everytime an elder prays, and in many of the talks, there is mention of the faithful slave, organization, or governing body.
"thank you jehovah for giving us your organization, which provides us food at the proper time", "how thankful we are that the faithful slave provides..", etc.. for any elders who went to the elders school, did they specifically say to build more appreciation in the organization, faithful slave, etc.
The GB has done a lot to toot their horns especially since recent years.
I do remember the days of Knorr, and Franz, when very little was heard of them except at the annual District Conventions. I remember seeing Grant Suitor coming to speak to us in the East of Canada, in a very friendly, humble way.
Now a days, I don't like the image of the GB. They have tried to elevate their authority above everyone. Too big. Can't be questioned, even when they are wrong.
a d.o.
said they are watching and directing the preaching work.. i thought it was more like watching who was having sex,(prono perverts).. -also they are useless and are very poor in governing.. -their directing the gb/fds is a farse..
Most of the partakers at the Memorial have real issues in our community.
I have observed so many come and go, and their weirdness manifest.
I don't think you put much stock in that 12,000 number just as you can't put stock in the Annual report with it's alleged increases.
As far as the 144K are concerned, I wouldn't hazard a guess as to whether that is literal, or symbolic. I don't think the society has really got it precisely right as well.

Thanks, Blondie.
I thought that this WT article really added salt to the wounds of the many who had no choice but to leave an abusive relationship. The article made it seem that such ones had to give it more time and put up with the abuse.
Such a sad state.

Aren't the best hockey players, Canadians that play on American teams?
apologies if there is another recent thread on this, but i have heard from 4 different people in 3 different geographic areas (including someone who does advance work for the dcs), that beginning in 2013 the three day dc program will be replaced by a second two-day circuit assembly.
some people were passing the info along like a secret, others seemed to think that everyone already knew.. if everyone in j-dub land is already talking about this, how is it not all over this forum??.
anyway, can anyone confirm or deny?.
When the Zone Overseer visits, Video Conferencing is broadcasted to a few congregations.
This may be a new trend that we will observed in the future...sorry if this has already been mentioned....I read two pages, and marked for later reading.
LOL, Frozenout...that was a funny picture.
