examining the scriptures daily.
interesting.
.
It is very interesting indeed that the daily text is not on prominent place on their website. There is a schedule for your personal bible reading but not today's text. What would be easier way to keep content dynamic. And I'm sure there is someway to check the time from browser in order to show correct days text.

worst - religion/ists (pharisees, sanhedrin/gb, ruling religious clergy class).
best - direct from the source (our heavenly father, his son, the holy spirit, john 14:26; 15:26; 16:13; 1 john 2:27) by pursuing their full and counterintuitive "unabridged gospel" message to all humans (rom 10:16,17; isa 61:1; john 8:36).. next best - spiritually strong persons of faith (acts 8:12,26-40, especially verse 35).
your thoughts, suggestions, websites, videos, constructive criticism, quotes - anyone?.
Genesis 1:26, works in both cases.

i got a text message from a jw, she just send me a picture of a white bearded man with xx beer on the table.
the title of the picture is "i don't always study my watchtower but when i do it's during the public talk.
" i just do not know how to forward the image from the text message.
To the subject matter itself. This suggestion is absolutelly very avantgarde. I had a bad habbit to study it during WT study, and when I was done and the others weren't yet, I studied also the other articles in magazine. My wife used to poke me and look angry at me, but I couldn't help myself.

the question i have is, should i even bother?
i am not even sure why he wants to watch this particular video.
ive already seen it with my wife a few days ago and already seen how they leave a lot of details out concerning their teachings of old.
Well, if he against his will is forced/encouraged to watch this film, what wouldn't make more sense than doing this as reportable time.

another post gives the stats that about 20 bethels have closed over the last 2 years.
lets assume that this continues at half the rate in another 10 years there will be few or a dozen bethels left.
if theres no bethel in spain, portugal, france, italy and they all go thru germany what chance does that give jws in those lands to ever get a chance at the big bethel in germany ?
Ever heard of telecommuting?

my wife was told a brother was going to be disfellowshiped, "how do you know this is going to happen?
" sister so-so said "he was not repentant or humble to the brother's kindness.
" instead of engaging into a heated debate, she knew who the leak was, so-so's husband.
Why do this sound like high school?

i recently asked my jw elder brother (who thinks i'm just "inactive") what he makes of the reduction in pages of the wt & awake rags.... his response was something like:.
well this was something that has been discussed for a long time.
the society feels that the brothers need to start using the bible more in field service so they are slowly reducing the pages of the literature to encourage the brothers to read the bible more and not depend so much on the literature.
Well, as far as I remember (I admit I have lost lots of memory of last times things) it was encouraged that only one article should be brought up at the door based on the interest of door opener. To my understanding there will still be two magazines to offer, which certainly will contain at least one article you can bring up at the door, as earlier. Do not sound right at all.

so the oldest man in the world, a japanese, has just celebrated his 115 birthday.. i was reading the other day that life expectancy in my country is around 78.2 today,.
that half the people born since 2000 are expected to see 100 years old, and that.
the first person that will live to 150 years old, is already alive.. so how long would you like to live?.
Watson, I appreciate your thought. It is very emphatetic.

...the reason being is that you will see how it all works...it is very scary and it will definately make you doubt.
this maybe about scientology, but just replace that word with jehovah's witnesses and there is absolutely no difference.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfdl6ga1di0&feature=related.
Oh damn, I thought you would be showing some newly defined abhorrent material.
