  there i am, saturday morning, 9am, having a coffee with my kids, hair very messy, no make up, pj's on still, and they show up!

  why do they never phone first and make an appointment?

  i have asked them to do this but they won't comply.

  Those wonderful, insightful, platform talks.......

  by LivingInReality in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...so annalice and i were discussing this topic the other day and now i pose it to you.

  remember all those talks from the platform where the brothers encouraged the congregation that as far as putting in hours in the field ministry that we must remember that if brother a can only put in 5 hours a month and he puts that 5 hours a month in, then he is doing all that he can (applause, applause) and if brother b can put in 50 hours a month and he does, there is no difference between brother a and brother b, because they are both doing all they can in jehovah's work.. well then, why is it that if brother a faithfully puts in that 5 hours a week, he can't carry microphones, he can't lead the congregation in prayer and he can't hold any priveleges, because he doesn't put in hours that match the national average??

  isn't that making brother a feel like shit and that he is unworthy?

  Well I know how it felt being Brother "A" and being treated like a second or third class brother, I wasn't good enough for them, only read up front the Watchtower once, because three brothers that usually do it were not there..... I did put also the congregations route system on pc for them, yes lots of work, but I counted the hours as service time.... It pushed my hours alot for a couple of months though... Lapuce

  Roll Up the Rim to Win~ Truly a Loving Provision of Jehovah

  random memory of the week while drinking my double single this morning.

  do any of my fellow canucks remember when this contest first came out in canada and hearing this story?

  a single mother pioneer sister with low income was having doubts about being able to continue pioneering due to having vehicle troubles, lots of expensive repairs versus no income to get them fixed.

  I guess anything random can be seen by the JW's as a sign of god... Makes their life more thrilling I guess

  Well the circuit overseer won a few years back here in Quebec, But since the WBTS did give him a car already, I guess he sold it and send all the money to the bethel..... what a waste....

  branches of jw's: 112. number of lands reporting: 235. total congregations: 98,268. world wide memorial attendance: 16,383,333. memorial partakers worldwide: 8,524. avg.

  Scientists Find Water on Saturn Moon

  by bavman in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the cassini spacecraft has found evidence of liquid water spewing from geysers on one of saturn's icy moons, raising the tantalizing possibility that the celestial object harbors life.

  the surprising discovery excited some scientists, who say the saturn moon, enceladus, should be added to the short list of places within the solar system most likely to have extraterrestrial life.. recent high-resolution images snapped by the orbiting cassini confirmed the eruption of icy jets and giant water vapor plumes from geysers resembling frozen old faithfuls at enceladus' south pole.. "we have the smoking gun" that proves the existence of water, said carolyn porco, a cassini imaging scientist from the space science institute in boulder, colo.. if enceladus does harbor life, it probably consists of microbes or other primitive organisms capable of living in extreme conditions, scientists say.. the findings were published in friday's issue of the journal science.. david morrison, a senior scientist at nasa's astrobiology institute, cautioned against rushing to judgment about whether the tiny moon could support life.

  scientists generally agree habitats need several ingredients for life to emerge, including water, a stable heat source and the right chemical recipe.. "it's certainly interesting, but i don't see how much more you can say beyond that," morrison said.. scientists believe mars and jupiter's icy moons might have or once had conditions hospitable to life.. saturn is around 800 million miles from earth.
