anyone else like to run?
i started running regularly in the past year or so and am becoming addicted.
participated in my first 5k earlier this summer, a large even with about 2,500+ runners.
I run about 3 or 4 times a week - Mountain Bike too, I juice every morning, too!
Drink Coffee and have been thinking of starting HARD DRugs, too! (thats to see if anyone is paying attention) joke! :o)
Hey if there are any Runners in Raleigh/Durham Area, I would enjoy meeting up,

well we don't care that he has cut us off!
we have 4 kids, he ain't going to see them before the grim reaper comes lookin for him.
my job skills are well in demand in alberta canada so that's our next move, we are getting out of the uk sinking ship asap, we have family in alberta who will sponsor us so i think it's time to leave and make a new start for our kids, as their aren't no jobs in the uk for them now even with university qualifications behind them.
I wanted to Move to Canada, but they dont like Americans so I Am stuck right here! Go to the GREAT WHITE NORTH Aye!
folks, i dont post much although i have been raised a jw all my life.. it has been awhile since this begain to bother me but i have to ask...what is the true story of why the wtbts created a 2nd edition for wt magazine placement purposes only?
i have been puzzled but can only suppose the reasons, costs, control, etc...but truly did they think that when ct russell started the magazine it was for all to read, not published for a "select few" and if you come regular to the meetings we'll get you the "real issue" with real articles?.
i know this has probably been discussed over and over, but please humor me and tell me how they can with a straight face "they" think this was "ok" to publish in this manner.. this alone smacks of hypocrasy, as it was not the intention of the faithful slave to do such a thing when jesus put control on earth in ct's hands, funny how that works out.
Thanks All, I appreciate the "boning up" of the old articles that help show the craziness of it all.
thanks for your time and patience, all notes posted are Equally appreciated. I agree, Russell was let go along time ago...duh what was I thinking about. A Publishing company, bottom line $$$$$ it's all about the Benjamins ain't it?

Somehow I dont think that is what Jesus wanted when he said "Come all who are thirsty drink". Maybe he would have said, "Come all who are good enough, I will give you CLEAN water, those that are not worthy, I will find something almost as good for the time being"
Okay, let the responses begin I want to read how this is justified by those that know
thank you!
i have been thinking about getting front load washer for my home, but i have not decided which brand, etc to get.
any recommendations?.
Superb! Get clothes cleaner, use less water, and are quieter,
have had one for 10 years+ will NEVER go back to Top load!
Cheers!
why do jw's continually "trash" judas for betraying jesus?.
isn't it due to jesus death that we all have the opportunity for salvation?
i am not suggesting we treat judas as a hero, but he was fortold to betray, jesus knew it was going to happen and went along with it.. if judas did not betray, what if jesus was not put to death, where would we all be now?.

It's one thing to be grateful for Jesus deat, but why condemn the fellow that helped move it along.
Do others struggle with that in all the talks and comments made over the years?
Thanks for your input

wt december 15, 2010. snippets from this watchtower are below.
keeping in mind that all articles are written with an agenda, to address problems in the organization or to pave the way for new guidelines, look at what i highlighted.
my conclusions are:.
Just new at this...but now are we not to understand that the GB is made up of Regular folks, no more "Anointed ones" as mentioned back in 2000?

| Message | Hey, Having a wee bit of trouble but may have stumbled across a couple of things. Can you confirm or look into this- 1) Special Assembly Day near Fort Lauderdale Assembly hall - Told the audience that cost was $37,000 for the day and that they were $21,000 short. (this was told to me by my buddy who was there and he questioned his PO that told him the announcement was correct (he was visiting from CA.) 2) We recently started a NEW Circuit and due to constraints at NC Assembly hall - we have to go outside and rent. Our Special Assembly day was about 4 weeks ago and held at a "public venue in NC" was told our Daily cost was $10,000 and we were "Short" $7,500. I did some digging and found the cost we JW's get "Public" place for is $2,650. So....is what I am getting at really happening? Are we being "OVERCHARGED" to subsidize the FREE work? Let me know if what I am saying is striking a similar cord thanks |
