  fresh out of the jw.org website http://www.jw.org/en/news/by-region/world/jehovahs-witnesses-office-consolidation/ .

  the society as from september 2012 is closing 20 branches worldwide .the best bit is the last paragraph :.

  workers are available to spend more time preachingbecause of the mergers, qualified ministers who had been serving in small branches can now concentrate on preaching the good news.. a witness in africa, who was reassigned to the preaching activity, wrote: "adjusting my lifestyle to suit the new circumstances was a challenge during the first few months.

  Then, by WT definition, they won't be part of the 'great crowd' any longer.

  . . . btw, it is the WT February 15, 2013 issue.

  All the meetings the WTBTS registers with to shore up monies lately, is it any wonder the flock does starts consolidating their means of living?

  so i moved to another hall to better help me fade.

  so far it's been great although it is a very long and annoying process!

  so i'm very good friends with the coordinating elder in the new hall since we've known each other for years and so instead of mailing them to the other hall he decided to pass them on to my dad so he could give them to me and for me to give them to the other hall.

  Last rumor I heard was the paper used these days resists burning.

  Sometimes it even sounds like a screeching owl when going up in flames.

  Many JWs seem to have gotten the message that the 'old world' will be with them for a while yet. They are gearing up to prepare for a financially secure future, missing out on boring and repetitive meetings.

  I don't want to die.

  i've been conditioned since childhood that i'm going to live forever.

  i'm having a hard time contemplating the fact that i'm going to die.

  i'm so afraid of death that i can't enjoy the life i have now.

  After 902 years of reigning Jesus has aged quite a bit - He looks like his old man.

  Adam looked pretty much the same after some 900 years.

  why isnt the Revelation book on the jw website.

  i asked my mother( still very much active).

  she said books made from '86 and before would not be online.

  so we both looked at her physical revelation book and it was made in 88 so it should be there.

  Definitely YES. Or, just to quote Freddie's 'old lite' favorite pastime:

  This is all about 'the emphasis on gyrating of the hips and rolling of breasts by females'.
