Designs " The bullets went up in the air, did this gun nut ever consider where they might land like on a litle kid or mother."
Or maybe even an unsuspecting innocent male, lol
This alone would be good reason to stop taking your kids from door to door, real life people, wake up and do your best to prevent your loved ones, kids especially, from going to peoples doors.

we all know how heavily indoctrinated is the average jw .in fact there is nothing that will prove to him/her that the gb is not god's channel or is there ?.
think about the following scenario that today seems possible and logical to happen in the near future : the watchtower is constantly telling us that in the future the start of the great tribulation will be the fall of babylon the great (that is the all false religion including so called christian denominations) then there will be an attack on god's people but what if the exact opposite is true ?.
the scenario : due to upcoming court cases conscerning pedophilia and other scandals the society goes bust and shuts operations as a corporation worldwide... and then nothing happens .the life continues as usual ,babylon the great is still standing and all other religions continue operation as they had before .also all jehovah's witnesses remain unaffected by their goverments without persecution or other impliccations.what would that tell the average jw?
They would find a scripture that has something to do about the "quiet before the storm" and then another hundred years will go by waiting, waiting, waiting.
They are the spinmasters for sure.

my husband just gave me the latest km the novermber 2013 and it yet again has a question box on head coverings.. question box "should a female publisher wear a head covering if she is accompanied by a male pubisher at a doorstep bible study?".
it says "when a female publisher conducts a reagular, scheduled bible study and a male kingdom publisher is present, she should wear a head covering.
(1 cor 11: 3-10) the july 15 2002, issue of the watchtower page 27, explains: "this is a prearranged session of teaching where the one conducting the the study actually presides.
Julia,.. You know that wig thing was all in jest, right?
Lol

16:35:08Questions from readers.
Would a sister that wears a wig be compliant with the head covering requirement?
A:
While a wig or other hairpiece would normally be considered to be a "head covering" the mere fact that today's wigs are made to a level of quality that it would be hard to tell that it was not part of the sisters natural hair and thusly could not be used to show proper headship. The actual wearing of a material over the scalp of a sister is not the true reason for weariones head covering. Showing proper submission to Jehovah's sovereignty as represented by the male. (although not able to hold a coherent conversation about the bible is not the point) It could be hard for a interested person to recognize that the sister was showing proposer submission to the baptized male in close proximity Without first hand knowledge of the hairpiece.
There would be one exception to this rule regarding the wig. If the sister is wearing a wig but cannot find any proper head covering to top out the wig, she can, in the presence of the interested person remove the wig entirely and the replace the wig so that the interested person has no doubt that the sister in question is wearing something over the scalp.

i kid you not.
the letter read twice at our meeting stated that the travelling delegates should be at least 19 yrs of age, but be an exemplary publisher for over 20 yrs.
how can this work?.
While in the womb, their mother should have been pioneering for the entire pregnancy.

please share how your wt study went today...
Your question about what is the opposite of true reminded me of when 2 elders were at my door, uninvited askiing me why our family was not attending the meetings anymore and the rehearsed " depressed, tired, work" excuse went out the window and I mentioned the issue I was having with the 2010 change of the word generation.
Of course as I'm sure you an imagine, Proverbs 4:18 was touted and the term "present truth" was mentioned. That was my cue to ask if the current teaching is consider "present truth" what should the previous teaching be called. I said " If its not present, it must be "past",... And if its not "truth" it must be,.........". the elder I was talking to would not say the word that was apparent to everyone and being "lie" ie if its not present truth, it must be past lies"
His mind would not allow him to go there.

the image of page 13 of booklet "unseen spirits" from 1978 show a animal similar to a monkey, but it have the pointy ears.
it is a demon materialization?.
.
According to WTBTS lore, the demons were able to leave their human bodies and leave this physical world so there is no reason that they would protray
this as being a demon.
It looks like the man is shouting "Hello there over in the big boat, do you have room for maybe one more?"

haven't posted in a long time but i just have to say that the borg must really be building this annual meeting up to be a big deal.
talked with my dad and he hasn't had so much enthusastic anticipation since 1975. he said that it was announced that if all the seats are taken you should sit in your car and listen to the talks on the radio.
i told him the rumour was a new nwt revision would be released.
Listen on the radio,.. Tell us more about this feature as someone coulda at least record it if this is true.

they picked the wrong hombre .
Can I get a whoop whoop!! Great job,..

latest news from a source (missionary in foreign land):.
no more missionary homes anywhere in the world.. all missionaries presently in missionary homes must vacate.
must get housing on your own / from the locals.. circuit and district overseers have moved into many of these former missionary homes.. reasons: liability, cost savings, real estate to be sold or used for other purposes.. needless to say, many of these longtime servants are very unsettled.
The GB is no longer comfortable with the "missionary position" and has decided to "pull out" before it gets messy.
