my dad came up to me the other day and handed me the mp3 of the recent visit to my old congregation.
we both decided we would listen to it and discuss it together, despite the fact that neither of us have been to the meeting in over 18 months.. it was nice to hear all those old voices again but it was also a little bit sad.
as regards the talks, they were pretty much the standard i expected them to be.
its funny, i've now heard 3 different CO's give this outline, its the first talk of the week.
the first was our own CO and it was 'Give us your money'
the second CO was the same.
the third CO made it a completely different talk from the others, much more balanced and loving. he made a point of saying how unusual it was to have this outline from the GB instead of one that builds zeal for the ministry. this was about a month ago. he was called bro hillton
it's official!

november 9, 2012. annual meeting report .
the writers of the New Testament Books are no longer of the FDS? But the writers of the Finished Mystery were of the FDS.
What about Apostle Paul? Timothy? Barnabas? Agabus? - (Agabus prophecy saved alot of Christians from famine) But he wasn't part of the FDS? Rutherford had a mansion constructed to house the 'Ancient Worthies' upon their Earthly resurection called Beth Sarim, But HE was part of the FDS
I still think it is just a Parable and not a Prophecy, but for them to hold to the FDS as being a prophetic it doesn't really give much confidence in being the GB post 1919, when the evidence overwhelmingly shows that everything is wrong in their Prophetic Predictions.
there has been some interest recently about the moyle case, and how it may have set a precident in what became the society's disfellowshipping policy.
in july 1939, the chief legal counsel of the watchtower bible & tract society, olin r. moyle, resigned from his position in a protest over conditions at bethel and rutherford's mistreatment of workers.
he did not want to continue living under those conditions and he felt he could effect positive change for his brothers by taking such a stand.

this would make a great film or series

over the years, i have posted all of the chapters from my atheist's book of bible stories on this site.. however, since the original posting, many of the chapters have been polished and updated.. the complete book is now available for downloading, if anyone is interested: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qwpjol.
thanks frank. love the humour that comes across in your writing. 1 question if someone could explain it a bit for my dumb brain is i dont understand the section of the book that mentions the years of Herod / jesus birth ?
so, we are meeting our new co this week... i wonder if he'll be as glory hungry as the last one and the one before him and the one... well you can get the idea.
too bad we didn't volunteer to feed him .
that makes me wonder...why do they receive so much glory and attention as if they were some type of celebrity?
the new CO was round the other week. at the tues night meeting his first talk was nothing more than give us your money... the whole thing give give give. even mentioned how some kids decided in their family worship to give money from their savings towards the new print presses. hey why not Give of your time to the rbc? they have outlines from hq for the week.
shropshire starapril 9, 2008. why would loving faith allow death?.
features news editor neil thomas examines the issues behind the tragic death of new mum emma gough.. words written by heaven knows who and attributed to moses have brought about the apparently needless death of a young shropshire mother, and blighted many other lives, more than 3,000 years later.. far-fetched, possibly.
yet, how else are we to interpret the death of emma gough?.
