1) they're going to stop producing the wt publications index "because its hard to maintain and translate".
so they're going to create a digital-only research tool on jw.org .
it's like, how convenient and smart.
I find this especially interesting:
2) they told people in the morning announcements to bring your lunch from home so as to not to leave the convention site and thus avoid supporting the worldy outside vendors
When the Watchtower is negotiating the rental they have to pay for convention facilities, they always make a big point of the economic boon their presence will bring to the immediate area. The stuff in item #2 needs to be documented and publicized.
the ouija board is suppose to be a straight shot to interacting with 'demons'.. has anyone here played it?
what happened?
are the claims true regarding the floating pieces an such?.
Cantleave asked, " I wonder how much my soul is worth to Satan?"
I got a happy meal for mine...

I own one, but everytime I try to use it a chicken appears from out of nowhere and then explodes!
Really!
I guess it a good thing I like Ka-Pow! chicken.

Fourteen copis reported here:

i'm just curious if jwn is as busy as it was even a year or two ago?
.
sometimes it seems this place buzzes and other times, not so much....but maybe it's all in my head..
*sigh* APOSTASY has gone mainstream.
Now all the kids have their hover-boards and synthetic freeze-dried ice-cream...
Back in the day we had Kingdom Hall wars, and elder-to-elder full-contact deathmatches!
Back then we were GLAD to clean the toilets at the convention grounds because it made those damned fresh sandwiches almost palatable!
Somebody remind me: what kind of car did the Apostle Paul drive?
elders holding brothers back from being elder because they didn't like them, had a grudge, jealous of them etc.
selective enforcement of rules as well.
what have you guys seen over the years?.
I've seen cowards invent lies in an attempt to cover-over their own misdeeds.
Sneaky, embryonic serpents who crave nothing as much as they crave the spotlight.
Yellow as the yolk of an egg.
Self-righteous and puffed up with pride and hot air, always with grand plans that come to naught.
"But it's not MY fault," they cry, "I was frightened, Mommy!"
it,s simple, i can not remember crap from my previous life.. the wife told me today if you come back in the next life, please.
take some science classes.. if i could remember a small percentage of my life today, just a little.
bit, man would it make a difference.. in school i would be 100% nerd, geek, book worm.
If reincarnation was for real, don't you think you would remember the difference between an apostrophe (') and a comma (,)?
I did.
ok i started another thread and every one jumped on me because i was trying to take the theory of evolution out of the mix and most here seem to believe in it so i will just say it.
the theory of major evolution is crap!
the theory is falling apart.
Westiebilly11 asked, " as for God...where did 'he' come from if he does exist..."
We can ask the same question about Superman, the Man of Steel, who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman, who fights a never-ending battle for Truth, Justice, and the American Way!
...and we have photographic PROOF of the existence of Superman! No such proof for god.
hi there, this is my first post, but i've been buzzing around this site for years.. i got married at 18, hubby was 20, i was a regular pioneer and we were talking about serving in bethel.
fast forward - i left in 2004 after a 5 year battle with my conscience, family and friends who kept insisting that i was just "weak and needed to have another bible study".
however hubby and i stayed together although it was kinda on the understanding that we would just not talk about it.
BornFree123 said, "He has since said (by text) that I caused his condition due to my decision to leave "the truth" which caused him so much pain and heartache that his body couldn't cope."
Perhaps he is unfamiliar with the section of his Holy Book that says:
1 Corinthians 10:13 [Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)]
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
well i have been up and down this year with this current company i work for.
from the time they employed me they have paid me late, without explanation.
i have been miserable coming in here.
Congratulations LouBelle, you did well and accomplished your objective! It's good that you have some to relax a bit before starting the new job. I wish you the best of luck going forward. Focus on building the best tomorrow for yourself that you can.
