  fisherman The word guilty is not found in the Civil Jury's verdict. And neither did the verdict say that he was found guilty by the jury. The terms guilt and guilty (you answered yes) are terms that you have selected to describe Civil Court findings but they are not used in any legal way in the Civil Court documents to apply to its findings.
  

  By this reasoning, the following phrases "do not appear in the Bible" so therefore should not be taught:
  

  New Scrolls
  New Light
  Faithful and Discreet Slave Class
  Governing Body
  Emblems
  Paradise Earth
  New System
  Christ's millennial reign
  Wait on Jehovah
  Growing to perfection
  Where else can we go?
  Live up to our dedication
  Dedicated and baptised
  Spirit Directed
  Judicial Committee
  Just sayin'

  WT is shorting literature orders by congregation with a problem contributing enough for literature $3500 just for mags

  at our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.

  it's expected this will continue to happen.

  the "branch" has not sent the requested number of magazines.

  Place those dam tracks already and leave the magazines alone. If this goes on for months they'll be begging you to place magazines

  Just thought of something. Do you think the "special campaigns" are cost cutting measures? Push a tract for a month and lower the Magazine orders nationwide and save money on printings?

  Actually, he was wrong. The last price was 25 cents each. 50 cents for the pair. And those were 32 page magazines. Now, the Watchtower and Awake are both 16 page magazines.

  Music

  we would all agree that music whatever its form or genre, speaks to us, maybe a favorite childhood nursery rhyme, maybe dads music,etc.

  a lot of us where shut down to such wordly things, some were not.

  music has always helped me in hard times, that song, that artist, that let's get moving stuff, what speaks to you, its not a cure all, but what do you like?

  Mr.logic: I knew we could find something in common. :P

  The hag is not only one of the greatest country musicians of all time, his songs are actually sung at an octave that I can reach. lol

  What would happen if you drop a fake check or bill in the donation box?

  by StarTrekAngel in

  what would happen if we started dropping fake check or bills inside the donation box of an assembly?

  i know, is a crime, but so is pushing someone to not accept blood and die.

  would it help skew the numbers enough if enough of us did it?.

  James Mixon: Forget about a fake check, drop a bill made out to the society. Return all the money
  I have donated over the years, if you do not make some kind of effort in restitution
  I will take your ass to court for running a Scam.. Thank you.

  Memo on the bill should say, "Dear brothers, my wife and I would like to make you aware of our situation, and you can respond as your heart impels you. Doing the math, we have looked at our finances over the next fiscal year, and we are projected to spend more money than we are bringing in."

  Personally, I dig classic country music. In particular, Merle Haggard.

  But I'm a big fan of all kinds of music. I listen to modern pop, rap and heavy metal the least. It just doesn't appeal to me.

  But I will listen to classic heavy metal, pop and rock and truly enjoy it.

  Classical music also speaks to me. Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, Strauss.

  WT September 2015 (Public edition) - We never petition for Money

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  page 6 of the september 2015 public wt, under the heading "how is our ministry financed"our work is supported entirely by voluntary donations.

  (2 corinthians 9:7) in 1879, the second issue of this magazine stated: zions watch tower [as this magazine was then called] has, we believe jehovah for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support.

  we have not wavered from that policy.

  Interestingly, the bORG did not quote that paragraph in full.

  Here is the full quote:

  
  

  "Zion's Watch Tower" has, we believe, JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case, it will never beg nor petition men for support. When He who says: "All the gold and silver of the mountains are mine," fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the publication."
