I hope that it accomplishes what your expectations are, but, the Shunning practice is governed in the West. I doubt they will nudge on this horrible Hate practice.

one eighth of jw's are regular pioneers?

by Truthexplorer in

that's what a brother said during his public talk.

i mentioned this to the missus afterwards and asked if i heard right?

seems quite a high number!.

Quarterback

Still the greater majority, are not. The greater majority, hold down jobs, raise families, have a life.

Have you seen these pioneers that they are talking about? They aren't pretty, and certainly not role models.

They must be desparate to recruit pioneers.

The Noah Movie

by Quarterback in

well, i saw it.

you better get ready for everyone's talk about it.. it was 25 % biblical, 75 % fantasy.. noah was mean as a character, his family was great.

methusala, was an old fart..

The only films I watch are Jack Ryan, Spiderman, Bourne, and anything related to Espionage. I would love to see, however, 12 Years A Slave.

Pondering Noah account

by problemaddict in

friends

i see my wife being pulled into the org a little again, by some good people and kindness.

she grew up a very happy jw, and to leave is very hard for her.

but she has opened the pandoras box of her brain and can't shut it.. we were discussing blood a couple days ago.

And we thought that a Carnival Cruise was a bad idea.

BOTR, I hope that you enjoy it. There are some terrific Special effects. Good to watch in Imax.

Viviane, You got that right. It was a embellished story.

Memorial 2014: Wrong date?

by AnnOMaly in

this was meant to have nice inserted pictures and tidy hyperlinks but the forum's being glitchy today.

so unfortunately it's going to be a messy post where you're going to have to exercise your tapping fingers and click on the links to the pics to see what i'm referring to.

sorry about that.. in the article recently studied "do this in remembrance of me" (w13 12/15), there is a box on p. 23 giving the date of this year's memorial and how that date is arrived at.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2013926.

TD, I appreciate what you are saying about the timing of all the events. i.e being tried by Pilatte, and Herod. Recently I read in a WT study article that there was pressure on both parties to conclude this matter before the next day. I don't remember specifically what the rationale was. I'll look into it for tomorrow.

This date is disputed by various religions aside from the WT society. I do not know exactly who is right, and why they agree some occasions with the Jews. But as soon as I finish my work on establishing world peace, I'll concentrate my efforts to this matter.

Even if it is accidental.....it's still matches the Jews calculation, and both are found to agree, this time.

Stay tuned for the argument in 2015.
