Matthew 24:45-47, in the New World Translation, reads "Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his Master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? Happy is that slave if his Master on arriving finds him doing so. Truly I say to you. He will appoint him over all his belongings."

Mike, "Chelsea Boys" means something quite different in England. Chelsea Boys are supporters of a popular soccer team, and they are not known to be that way inclined.
To recognise the full contrast and illustrate the point I need do nothing other than to quote one of their chants:
CHELSEA BOYS WE ARE HERE
Chelsea boys we are here!
Wo ho, wo ho
Chelsea boys we are here !
Shag your women and drink your beer!
Wo ho, wo ho woSo please be careful when you next visit London!

It amuses me how they start this "class" thing, for something that is mentioned only once in the bible. Russell considered himself the Faithful & Discreet slave singularly, but now there's a whole bunch of big-wigs in Brooklyn, they suddenly decided it warranted a "class" label.

Australia uses the PAL 625 line format, which is different to the American NTSC system, so there might be a problem here.

Should JWS wear amber items?

If red represents things that are forbidden by God, and green represents things that are acceptable to God, then surely amber must represent ambiguity. Jehovah is not a God of uncertainty or ambiguity, and so unquestionably all right thinking Christians should avoid this colour in their homes and in their dress. If the young sisters in the congregation wear amber, this may send an outward message that they are a person of moral uncertainty to the congregation. Surely it would not be a good idea for them to be stumbling the young brothers in this way.

Tell us about your Profile Pic
by Beck_Melbourne injust wondering about some of the profile pics...i think its nice to know a bit about the person you want us see, or the person you don't want us to see.
so what were you thinking when the pic was taken, how long ago, and where were you?
mine was taken last month, just after my 36th birthday.

My Avatar is a tribute to the Watchtower illustrators obsession with Pandas in the new system. They give the impression that the most wonderful experience in the world you can possibly have is cuddling one while giving them some bamboo leaves. Personally, I'd much rather cuddle up to a luvlee laydee than a panda, but whatever turns you on, that's all I can say...
