Well here is the Bible's response. 1 Cor, 7:12 But to the others I say, yes, I, not the Lord: If any brother has an unbelieving wife and she is agreeable to staying with him, let him not leave her; 13 and if a woman has an unbelieving husband and he is agreeable to staying with her, let her not leave her husband. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctifiedin relation to his wife, andthe unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the brother; otherwise, your children would be unclean, but now they are holy So having an unbeleiving mate allows that one a free ticket to the new world.

Letter Read At Special Talk
by scotoma inthe watchtower arranged to have a letter read announcing that elders would now be apponted by circuit overseers.. any elders on this forum know how this will be different from the current arrangement for appointing elders.. it would be nice to see a schematic with boxes showing how it used to be and how it will be in the future..

Currently the whole BOE had to be unanimous to suggest a Elder/MS recommendation to the CO during his visit. They. CO and BOE would meet and discuss and if they were in agreement they sent the recommendation to the Branch office Service Committee. The Branch office received that request and opened that drawer where that stamp is stored. The mail clerk stamped the page, and sent the stamped, APPROVED, copy back to the congregation.
Now, if there is someone on the BOE that doesn't like someone, he can't forever hold anyone back. It's now a One Pony show. You only need to convince one guy.

If Bible videos are down, they will have to bring up the rating to R.
How can they explain to baptised kids, because of the violence content, they cannot see this video until they get older.

Any Suggestions on what to say if elders ask why you stopped going in FS?
by BU2B ini was curious what might be some good things to say if i am questioned by the elduurs about my decline in fs.
anything too honest may get me a jc (although that would be for the best in the end..) the co visit is this week so they may be getting more agressive than usual.

Tell them that you have this new illness that makes you fart alot. You wouldn't want to trouble your brothers and sisters about it, by sitting in the same car wth them. You can't controll the sounds that it makes and it would give a bad witness.

Just noticed something else that proves the Bible is made up.
by BU2B inexodus 9 then the lord said to moses, go to pharaoh and say to him, this is what the lord, the god of the hebrews, says: let my people go, so that they may worship me.
2if you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back, 3the hand of the lord will bring a terrible plague on your livestock in the fieldon your horses, donkeys and camels and on your cattle, sheep and goats.
4but the lord will make a distinction between the livestock of israel and that of egypt, so that no animal belonging to the israelites will die.?.

If they are Special Pioneers, then they would get less than what the Welfare system has to offer. If the rent is more than what that value is, then is is really weird.

The way it is explained in WT 2006-1-15 WT
When Pharaoh was told to let God’s people go, he sneered: “Who is Jehovah, so that I should obey his voice to send Israel away? I do not know Jehovah at all and, what is more, I am not going to send Israel away.” (Exodus 5:2) As a result, Egypt experienced these blows: (1) water changed to blood, (2) frogs, (3) gnats, (4) gadflies, (5) pestilence upon livestock, (6) boils upon man and beast, (7) hail, (8) locusts, (9) darkness, and (10) the death of Egypt’s firstborn, including Pharaoh’s son. Finally, Pharaoh let the Hebrews go. He even urged them to leave!—Exodus 12:31, 32 The diff is a Pestilence in Plague 5, and Death in Plague 10. They failed in elaborating the animals being affected in the 10th plague in the article.
