  Expect JW.ORG figures to be inflated for August

  by Quarterback in

  2. friends

  i find myself trying to access the website, too often, to access the november wt.

  this wt is supposed to contain the details of the changes.

  so far, nothing.. i think that others are trying to do the same thing just to read about those details.

  It wasn't that great as the hype had indicated.

  when i read about bethel experiences my mind go to the show locked up raw!.

  why would someone subject themselves to this without commeting a crime.. the wife and i went to see bethel in broklyn a few years ago and it was unlike anything i expected.

  very cold.. went the bosert hotel and was talking to a brother there and asked how long he had been there, he said 25 years...i asked how old he was.

  I think that others are trying to do the same thing just to read about those details. I suspect that the WT ORG has this as a strategy to brag about the numbers, and to take credit for their campaign, when they claim how many hits they are achieving.

  Moses's father in law was a Midianite. The Midianite tribe originated from one of Lot's daughters. She apparrently was the same Zipporah. It's quite possible that the Cushites (from Ethiopian) had some connection with the Midianites.

  Rationale for international conventions

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's been kicked around already that the conventions were logistically disasterous and spiritually vapid.

  my question, and i hope you will add your comments to mine, is: why?

  why did the wtbs go through the trouble of putting these things on?

  Well I think the reason we have annual assemblies big or small is because Armaggedon hasn't come yet.

  You should meet Brother Smart Engineer

  my 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.

  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.

  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.
