  Making the congregations pay for invitation printing

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the memorial and district convention invitations have a space for each congregtion to put their local information on them.. the congregations then have to foot the bill, many times it is the service overseer personally, for the printing on them.. some print labels and the congregation puts them on, others print with their laser printer and wear them out.. at first the paper was so poor that the particles would destroy laster printers and make a dust storm.

  commercial printers hated that paper.. the society should have a variable data printing system since they know the times of the memorial and convention for each congregation and they should print that while they print the initial invitation.. think if it, 12,000 congregations in the usa multipled by $50 on average cost to print or label each congregation's amounts to $600,000.

  do that twice a year for 7 years and that is $8.4 million dollars.

  "in a variation that some term 'embryo adoption,' the embryos placed in a wife's womb involve neither her eggs nor her husband's sperm.

  in yet another variation, a married couple's eggs and sperm are fertilized outside the womb by ivf.

  I'm baffled over the conflict of Lev 18, and the rationale used in the Creator Book in saying it's ok in one instance, but explains is ok in the other.

  The was a good finding, should I call it a blooper that has been uncovered in our explainations.

  Not just elevators - hotel rooms are unsafe

  not sure if the title is a good one or not... i didn't want to add to the elevator thread, since it seems to have gone sideways.. i was mulling over the elevator 'dangers' and a long faded memory sprang back from the dusty corners of my mind.. years ago, when i was yound, single, dumb, and still a good lil' jw, there was a circuit assembly held here locally.

  there was a time when the colliseum was used, but due to its' small size, they booked it for two weekends in a row, and brought in people from two or three (or more) different circuits, spaced across those two weekends.. i had gotten acquainted with a nice young gal named rhonda w. she and her friends shannon f. and cindy attended the first assembly where they worked as telephone operators.

  yes, some brother had a complete telephone switchboard that he put in the basement and i helped run telephone wires to all of the departments.

  Two Witnesses stuck in a elevator or car without Chaperon. Would they fornicate? Yes/No

  im amazed how going witnessing sisters who knew me for decades would sit only in the back seat on the way to the hall...to avoid any sex at the traffic lights!!!

  and chaperons 1840's style are needed because two witnesses alone for 10 minutes would go at it like animals even after all the training watchtower articles and talks being jahs clean org.

  and all..

  Well I would have to say that some are real Horndogs, and some can behave like a responsible adult when they are alone with a member of the oposite sex. I have always worked alone and gone on working trips with members of the opposite sex. The idea of having sex with such ones has never come to mind. I'm speaking of over 25 yrs experience.

  i dont' use my cell phone when with friends, to show them how important they are to me, and i am focusing on them, etc.

  i turn it off completely.. i'm doing a free bible study with 2 really nice jw ladies.

  but today, one of their phones went off loudly twice, and she had to check each time who it was etc.

  Well they do distract, but are necessary. I know someone in our car group doesn't have any concept on time and would make the car group wait hours before she figured it out. Sending her a text is milder, than knocking on that person's door with a unhappy face.

  I love their steamed hotdogs, their poutine, the Montreal Smokemeat, and bagels.

  Steven Harper just pledge some money for they infrastruture in Levi, Quebec.

  I think they might repent, and stay with us. But, then again we are living in the last days. You know what that means for Quebec

  Actually you can have a data plan with the cell phone co. that you have a contract with. My Iphone allows me to have this available on my trips and in different countries. But, I didn't want to purchase this on the Ipad. The Ipad is really not convienient to take with you everywhere.

  The Ipad does work with WiFi ie. MacDonalds, Starbucks, Airports, transit etc.

  If the publishers are paying for the Wifi service at the KH, why would it be exclusive to elders?

  I think he was the guy that stole that Marble rye loaf from that elderly Jewish sister in the Brooklin cafeteria.
