i have seen that some say if a man has 3 beers per day or a woman has 2 glasses of wine per day, that they may have .
.
.
Don't worry, I am around 50 now and have been drinking a liter of wine a day for the last 30 years, with a Cognac or rum ( missionary-service, there was no cognac), after dinner.
Everything ok, thinking, no viagra etc. My parents the same and are deep into their eighties.
i could have sworn that i heard or read about a special bethel family meeting before the annual meeting.
has anyone heard or seen this?
.
BTW: Celebrating Christmas just 8 years after being inspected by Jesus and being found worthy, just seems odd, doesn't it?
.
Yes it does. This photo should be available in Christmas cards to send to JW family members. LOL
that's a great idea!
are there any statistics to show that proportionally the jw's are growing at a greater rate outside of western countries and, in particular, the african continent?.
if so, anybody's guess ?.....
1] by what year would the organization be predominantly african in membership?.
Well at this moment they are taking over parts of Europe.
the new young blood gb member, you think he really thinks this is the truth or is he protecting his financial interest like all the older gb members who enjoy basking in glory of men?
do you think they believe in the "over-lapping generation" or was that a mistake done by barr?.
how much of the watchtower and the bible do the governing body know, ray franz jr. said he was not impressed with their bible knowledge and their lack of knowledge of the watchtower cannon.
@ Magum and Phizzy:
By no means I want to defend them but the laundry having done, the cleaning having done, the cooking having done, the shoe repair having done, that is the same situation for all Bethelites. Of course they get nice and kind handshakes. When we got at congregatiions around Brooklyn as missionaries, telling our experiences at meetings, we sometimes had 2 or 3 hundred $ in our pocket, we found that a lot of money at that time, for what? Who is guilty? Who says no? On the other hand, who works at the age of 75, 80,85 still 44 Hours or more a week and gets up at 6:30 A.M In Europe and USA?
What I want to say, and not more than that, they don't do it for the cash nor life, it is not fun working and living at headquarter or branches, forget it.

I disagree, they believe in what they are teaching. The simple fact they stay there at Bethel proves it more or less. Everybody who worked there or at branches knows that the moment you stop believing you will leave the work. And stop the BS about the money etc. They don't have money nor spend excessive amounts.
a gilead student from thailand.
a young thai girl who came to new york to attend the gilead school in upstate south lansing, new york, had a mental breakdown.
staff members pleaded with president knorr to send her home by plane, under supervision.
Russell must have suffered from this experience, I knew him, untill 1999 when I left Brooklyn as a very warm and kind person.
i've been doing some research about famous witnesses.
some were raised and eventually left, while others came in as adults.
they range from sports players, musicians, and entertainers.
Loesch is quite famous here.

re: personal literature supply.
reducing existing stock at the branch office before the revisions are released.
A so called "needgreater" from a nearby island, Puerto Rico, brought hundreds of w and a in his suitcase, tot them for free in PR and sold them in dominican republic, where still people had to buy the magazines.

Strange...when I worked at a branch in Europe, at that time the magazines etc were paid for, we threw hundreds of Awakes and Watchtower in the garbidge weekly.
