My sister's house burned down

by Emma in

jw
friends

she and her husband live in rural wisconsin.

they were away for their anniversary when their home burned down, killing their three cats.

they lost everything.

If she never talks to you perhaps you should just write her a note that asks her if her field service time has dropped or she has been missing meetings....surely there is a reason that Jah removed his blessing from her home.

My vote is for the Bug-a-salt. It is a plastic gun that shoots table salt to kill flies....

Questions on new understanding (FDS - GB)

by Weana in

some questions arise with the new understanding:.

was there a slave class between the 1st century and the 20th century?.

in w march 1, 2004, it was stated, that the slave could not be a single man, because "acording to jesus words" the slave had started his work in 1st century and would still be in action in 20th century.. was the slave in action in 1914?

Maybe they did it because they know they will loose a bunch of 'annointed ones' (see nut jobs) and get their partaker numbers back in line. Next year there will be a drop of 8k partakers.
