by ILoveTTATT in

so there is lots of buzz on the internet, and lots of buzz probably even among jw's, that in 2014 in the passover there will be a blood moon... supposedly that's a sign.... .

what a load of bull.... .

a couple of seconds of critical thinking, and a little googling, and you reach the following conclusion:.

"Why Nobody Ever Came Looking For You when you faded!"

by RottenRiley in

they are afraid you are going to infect the good works done by the active jws.

are you aware that "one weak jw who is fading can take out five strong jws, so it's best to avoid or greatly limit your contact with weak jws?

" circuit overseer (past) words.. .

RottenRiley I guess you got me thining.

How many strong Witnesses did you even know?

The percentage of JWs that I would have considered strong was probably around 3-5%

"very few JWs will survive Armageddon"

I guess we can assume he would be one of the few?

Interesting points, makes me wonder what the numbers would be like if they spent more time helping the weak who might actually look forward to a loving visit rather than spending all their time going "not at home" to "not at home".

Also why is it that they don't encourage the elders to work part time so they can fulfill their "responsibilities"?

Honestly in some ways I feel bad for the sincere elders,(Yes I've known a couple) who work full time, go to all the meetings, prepare talks, keep up their fake 10 hours a month, take care of their families and homes. On top of that they are supposed to do shepherding calls. Who has time and energy for all that?

Also I could see my image in my post before I posted it using the HTML code from flicker and using the HTML insetion tool.

It had all kinds of information on my flicker account and such so I didn't want to actually post that.

I got the html code from the share icon near the bottom (the little square box with the arrow pointing up out of it)

That share icon does not show on every page though I had to keep clicking around till I found it.

Finkelstein I meant Etude so I could see what his problem was. The one I posted above is right off of flicker so it seems to work for at least some people.

I was typing my reply but you got two posts in while I was doing that.

BTW where did you get my photo?

Can you just paste the link without trying to use the image insertion tool?

The " Are you sure you want to continue without including an Image Description?..." message is fine. I generally skip the description.

It worked for me.

I right clicked the photo chose "view all sizes-> original"

From there I right clicked and chose "view image". View image might be called something different based on your browser. I'm using firefox.

Now the image should be on the page all by itself. I copied the url and pasted it into the add image tool

Mine link was http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2408/1792554131_6696f5629d_o.jpg

Note: linking like this might be against the terms of service but if they close my account i don't really care.

See the "Where is the HTML code and photo file link?" section on flicker for the method they want you to use.
