I hear it but I can't believe it

my elder friend told me that his kh is in need of upgrading their electronic system so that they can be ready for the big zone meeting in november and they need the flat screen televisions mounted to also enjoy all future special meetings put on by the branch.

the branch has given them the exact specifications and he mentioned the branch wants to use apple products.

they passed a resolution for a one time donation by the publishers to pay for the $6,000.00 system.

I've been ahead of the ORG for quite some time, now. I have had the internet, a 50 inch TV, and an Ipad before JW.ORG. They are catching up to me.

What did ants evolve from?

by Pinku in

an ant's brain is very minuscule when compared to a chimpanzee, yet it is capable engineering!

(not to mention its ability to support 5,000 times their body weight before losing their heads.

I Offer You This Choice

by simon17 in

suppose the following choice were offered you, and you had to choose one or the other.

which would you pick (and perhaps why):.

1) you can continue living your life as it is, die when you might, and that's that.. 2) you can instead agree to die in 1 year in exchange for this: you will be granted access to the entire past and future history of intelligent life in the universe.

Sorry, Simon. I would just close my door on you and tell you, "I'm not interested".

Tell me when a GB member resigns and then you have a good story.

If this rumour does become true, I hope that a new book gets released.

I got asked THE QUESTION !!

by Tech49 in

a little experience that happened very recently:.

another brother, an elder, and i were talking, i was explaining to him and giving him several examples of how a couple of the elders in our congregation were blatantly trying to run their own show, parading themselves around as "representatives" of the body, when the other brothers didnt know what the hell they were talking about.

they are using their "elder powers" to bully and push people around, causing a bit of angst and hurt feelings.

Quarterback

Just don't answer the question. Just tell him that the conversation is weirdly off topic, with what you are bringing forward.

Wouldn't Being "Mentally Diseased" Give You a Pass at Armageddon?

by TTATTelder in

wouldn't being "mentally diseased" give you a pass at armageddon?

the wt claims that apostates are "mentally diseased".

most of us are aware of this claim on this forum.

Quarterback

I never thought about the mentally challenged before with reference to surviving Armageddon. Good point. The Soc has always made mistakes in adding words to the scriptures, about survivors. The Bible only notes, a Great Crowd, of many Nations, and Tribes. Such are judged on the basis of the heart condition by Jesus who is capable to read hearts. So no society, no men men can judge who will survive based on their limitations. Of course this is how I see it, but I could be wrong. I'm willing to take my chances.
