Invite him over to a Superbowl party. Offer him a beer. If he is witnessing to you, he'll refuse the beer. You are not allowed to preach under the influence. Then you will really know his intentions. If he accepts alchohol, and does preach to you, he must be Irish, or, Scottish.

You should meet Brother Smart Engineer
by garyneal inmy wife, who now thinks i am not competent enough to discuss spiritual matters with the kids, thinks that i could really benefit from discussing matters of the bible with this nasa engineer who attends meetings at her kingdom hall.
apparently, he is quite knowledgeable in the bible and has a good grasp of their doctrines.
at least according to her as i never actually spoken with the man at length but i do know that he is an elder.

We're uncontrollable. If Korah had a cell phone, he would of texted Moses and told him he was a dirty rat.

Yes, there is a flaw in this reasoning. You know, part of me wants to fix this, but, that's just the male in me.

WT Armageddon Logic
by Ding inin doing some research, i recently ran across a september 1, 2000 wt article that contained a brother's testimony about his years of service in the organization.. he said, "as we arrived for the meeting one sunday in 1938, two elderly sisters greeted us, and one said: `young brother, have you taken your stand for jehovah yet?
you know, armageddon is just around the corner!
' i knew that jehovah is the only true god, and i was convinced that this is his organization.

Hubby's tempted to go back
by jgnat intoday he kept bumping in to (or rather dodging and weaving from) fellow witnesses.
he's talking about returning but can't figure out a way to do it without enduring a fair amount of humiliation.
i did not panic.

Two hours wasn't really needed to tell that story. It's horrible that young females were forced into marriages and abused for so long. But when you talk to a Mormon group today, they'll tell you that they were not from that group. That was a splinter group.

Blondie,
My how things have changed. I can remember going to Circuit Assemblies, and a orchestra of musicians were organized by the brothers. I remember them welcoming volunteers. Then all of a sudden, learning to become a musician became unimportant. This organization hasn't improved during the last 50+ years. I was saddened that my favourite song didn't survived through on the last Kigdom melody changes.

For one thing, there was a nasty Lawsuit launched by the Bees. They didn't appreciate us singing about molesting Bees. Then there was this change in contribution arrangement. So, we can't take Life's water free, anymore. The tune to Shulamite Maiden was kept, but, the Shulamite maiden was misunderstood for a reason for sisters to buy more shoes.
