  Do you make your own soup?

  by compound complex in

  greetings, soup lovers:.

  i have a huge kitchen at my disposal (not my own); vegetables, cans of this and that and spices are scattered about, prepared to go into a cauldron of minestrone i started a few days ago.

  i'm preparing ahead so as to freeze the leftovers to heat up later at home over my hotplate.. nothing like a 6-burner gas range to simmer over!.

  unfortunately she still does not know ttatt... the good thing is that my wife (her mom) is not shunning her!.

  i gave my daughter love & comfort and told her that nobody is ever going to divide us, i might not be happy with all of her choices and decisions but i just want her to be happy.

  my family is still asleep and still thinks this is the truthtm and my wife wants her to come back.

  Continue to show love, and let her know that your door is always opened for her when she needs your help.

  I unserstand about the matter of not approving some of her choices, but time will go on and all of this will be in the past. Commend her for any improvements that she makes.

  What is happening in Mexico?

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have heard that a lot of the english congregations in mexico are shutting down... they are condensing 5 congregations into one, or in some areas even disbanding the only english congregation.

  jw's who have been living in mexico for many years and probably were sheltered by being in the english congregations will now have to move to spanish congregations.... .

  I never liked it when the parents of a Rich country would drag their kids down to a third world country, just so they can obtain some honor or name for themselves as a "Need Great. Server"

  The Society recently has admonished the Spanish Mexicans to go back to their roots and help out in their mother tongue. That is why the English cong's are dropping. It was just a Honeymoon stage for the Spanish Mexicans who had hopes that if they changed to the English, they could marry a person who came from a rich country, and take up residency in their country to improve their economical status. A carrot was dangled in front of them, and now it is crushed.

  What proof do we have? How did we pass the inspection in 1919?

  by Quarterback in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the new light, the governing body apparently passed the master's inspection due to our focus on preaching the kingdom at that time.

  we were the only ones doing this according to the july wt re all those changes.. but, were we really doing this in 1918?

  i thought it was only the colporteurs.

  Well with the lack of clarity on why they make this claim, I'm still puzzled.

  It sure reiterates that question during the last days, "Who really is the Faithful and Discreet slave?" This question is unanswered in my mind.

  This is crazy. How would the society know about the internet habits of our children? There are no children at Bethel. Do they send out spies?

  The thing that was missing in that demonstration about Porn, was the part where the Elders say, "By the way, you ain't gonna pass that microphone for a while".

  Big News, eh?

  Could be:

  Accepting blood with 99.99 % of blood components ( allow it to be watered down)

  Unnecessary business with DF, and DA relatives have become the revised words for the new Bible translations

  The last days generation is now 1000 yrs, but that doesn't mean that we should be slacking off.

  There is a third appointment of the FDS class

  Sisters now have to wear a bonnet at the meetings, and FS,

  WTH....I thought Rutherford was fond of the Hymm, "Amazing Grace", His favourite part in the song was, "That saved a w retch like me".

  2. bible

  should a female publisher wear a headcovering if she is accompanied by a male publisher at a door step bible study?

  when a female publisher conducts a regular ,scheduled bible study and a male kingdom publisher is present, she should wear a head covering.(1cor.

  11:3-10)the july 15, 2002 issue of the watchtower, page 27, explains: this is a pre arranged session of teaching where the one conducting the study actually presides.

  If I could go back to 1974

  2. friends

  i was very young back then, and can remember telling everyone at school, family, and all my worldly friends that the world would end in just another year.

  now after reading the latest july wt, and reviewing all the updates, i can't help but wonder what effect i would have if i told members of my faith that armeggeddon, wouldn't come that year.

  the fds has two appointments, 1st in 1919, and then 2nd after the gt.

  Jake: So Brother Rutherford needed two beatings, eh?

  Jeff: I don't think the DF would of happened that quickly during that time for independent thinkers. I remember many different independent thinkers around during those years. There were even Bethelites that felt free to express their opinions on the GB back then.
