  Crisis of Conscience as an e-book?

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a suggestion really, i don't know if it's in the right sub-forum.

  i have read the chapters available online via wikipedia but the risk involved in ordering the book to read the rest is just too great.

  does anyone who knows ray franz feel that they could approach him about getting the book made available to purchase online as an e-book?

  I understand the reluctance of Ray to have this electronic. It is difficult to sell a book if you can get it on line.

  However, I found the books to be a tough read and would be far more valuable as a searchable file.

  New Bethel layoffs confirmed - we get our very own "special" pioneers!

  highlights from a recent letter addressed to our boe:.

  -- a married couple is leaving bethel, assigned to serve in our congregation as special pioneers.

  -- the society will pay them $600 per month, and in addition cover their health insurance .

  However you do the calculations, No couple can live on $600 per month or even $1,200. Especially since they need a car and will have significant gas and maintenance due to having to go out in service.

  The society seems to be purposely setting these people up for failure. They will quit within six months or so. Which is exactly what the society wants because if they do fail they no longer have to pay the $$$. End of problem.

  I think I just became an unbaptized bible study student apostate

  i had some major questions regarding 607 bce which directly affect the doctrine of 1914. my teacher, admitting being weak on history, could not answer my questions.

  i started researching and found that the appropriate dates for the "seventy years" were appearing to be 609 bce to 539 bce, the ruling period of babylon.

  this meant that everything i was being taught based on 1914 was in effect, a lie.

  So you are now a UBSSA. Congratulations!

  This is going to scare the pants off your conductor. Expect to see some of the elders joining the study. Eventually, if you don't change your ways, they will inform you that the study will be discontinued.

  I have gone to assemblies at the Stanley theatre. They are just as boring as any other assembly. The surroundings does not change the content.

  Stanley was purchased cheaply because it is in a really bad part of town (not that there is a good part of town in Jersey city). If the society did not purchase the building I am not sure what use the city could find for it.

  I grew up during the 1975 hysteria. I graduated high school in 1975, There was one family that was really gun ho on 1975 and judged others spirituality based upon how much they believed in 1975.

  There were some of their kids going to school around that time and they used every opportunity to tell others that the world was to end in 1975. All of those kids are now in their 50s and the father has since died. What a wasted life.

  I am a hopsital auditor by profession. Most of my audits are not coding related, but I have to have a general understanding of coding issues. I have found that the best coders have a clinical background. Are you a nurse or other clinician?

  I have taken various seminars on coding over the years. Just google hospital coding and you should get some good hits.

  Here is one:

  everyone should take this test and post their results.. everyone has a direction to their flow of energy, a way of gathering information, a way of coming to decisions, and a way that they live their day-to-day life.

  put your preferences together and you are either introverted/extroverted, sensing or intuitive, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving.

  everyone will fit into one of these 16 categories you can thus create.

  1. a "shower" as in "baby shower" or "wedding shower" was when a bunch of people got together to take a shower together.

  which didn't go over well with me when my mom wanted to go to a shower without my dad.. 2. when my father said to my mom that he was going to marry somebody, as in do there vows or something, i thought he was going to marry somebody else and start another family.

  i almost fainted when he told me that he was leaving to go do that.

  I could never figure out why my father's coffee would get cold but my milk would get warm when the two mugs were left out.
