So who was king previous to the last 100 years? The creator of all things in heaven and on earth, the sovereign of the universe, the almighty, who was king over him before the last 100 yrs?

about the annual meeting-going to be another money maker
by pontoon inhaven't posted in a long time but i just have to say that the borg must really be building this annual meeting up to be a big deal.
talked with my dad and he hasn't had so much enthusastic anticipation since 1975. he said that it was announced that if all the seats are taken you should sit in your car and listen to the talks on the radio.
i told him the rumour was a new nwt revision would be released.

Just think they'll change a few words, pronouns, word tense, plural to singular, etc...... . and millions of witnesses will have to have it. Probably cost .50 cents to print on their toilet paper and will probably suggest 10 buck a copy. Don't forget the excitment of the night will result in stuffed contribution boxes. Have no doubt, the Watchtower Corp are marketing geniuses

What happened, you are correct. I followed that case, I knew one of the men that died. The NTSB concluded it was pilot error, with 5 men, some gear, load of fuel the plane could not climb fast enough. NTSB had a estimate how overloaded the plane was. It was a crash and burn.

Memorial trauma-morial!
by Julia Orwell inhaven't been to the kh in a couple of weeks but went to the memorial along with hubby because i'm still in the early stages of my fade.. the speaker gave a really nice talk which was divided into 4 parts: why we need ransom, how it benefits us, who should partake and how to keep benefiting.
i was ok with the first 2 parts cuz he backed up with scriptures.
then the part about who should partake departed from scripture and went into this convoluted thing about how although jesus died for us, we're not to partake because jesus didn't make a covenant with us so we don't partake.

Don't be upset. After Jesus and Apostles had the Last Supper I don't recall one time in the bible where they again met together after Jesus's death to memorialize the occasion. Suppose to be the most important event in the Christain calender, if they did it would habve been recorded. How about Paul? Where is the verse describing his celebration of Jesus's death?

An old friend
by pontoon in40+ yrs ago when i moved into this congregation's territory i became good friends with a brother in the congregation, about 20 yrs older than me and about mildest, most easy going person you could meet.
he was just full of old fashion country style common sense, taught me a lot about country life, like heating with firewood, (yes, there is a lot to know about cutting and heating with wood), taught me how to skin and cut up deer, he would help anyone who needed help........., so about 30 yrs ago he was df'd.
we would occasionally bump into each other, i would never not say hello, but him knowing i wasn't suppose to talk to him he would (and i) just move on.

Well, we bumped into each other today in town in a convienence store. We said hello and I kept on talking. I could see in his face how he relaxed when he realized I was not about to cut it short and walk away. Talked about 10 mins. He's 80 yrs old now and looks about 50. I'm sure he has no idea I am no longer a JW. End up telling him to stop by my house and he said he would, (I'm sure he will). Anyway, had to share, it made my day.

Is Bethel Full Of Governing Body Ass Kissers?
by frankiespeakin inwhen we see the massive layoff of bethel one could naturally ask which ones survived this brutal treatment by the governing body?
i'm sure ass kissers got a more favorable vote by the governing body to stay than the run of the mill hard valuable worker.. while all in the legal team got to stay as they are not required to kiss the governing body's ass(as much) but save it from lawsuits they are faced with.. what say you?
this a partial part of my opinion.. i wonder how much ass kissing, or ego stroking actually goes on once one becomes a member of the gb, i'm sure the ones the governing body keeps closest to them are their best ass kissers it goes along with the narcissistic personality disorder's territory in which he chooses to rome..
