*********Unwittingly, the churches of Christendom help to obscure the truth regarding “the star.” An example of this is the recent appeal for financial support, seen on television’s Trinity Broadcasting Net-work (TBN). **********
I wonder who is assigned to watch TBN at the Society. They might have to change people out every so often so they don't start to learn truth.

to any bible believer- how would you answer this question- .
below is how jw answer it:.
is it really any wonder that evil and suffering exist?.
As far as why bad things happen -- it's life. God allows life to occur.
I think God had more to do with the Sept 11 incident then most think. Just think of the possibility of those buildings were to contain over 100,000 office workers - 4,000 lost their lives. The airliners that crashed were only about 60% full. And we should remember how bad the airlines were before with having to bump passengers to make room. The buildings could have toppled onto other buildings instead of imploding on themselves. It was a terrible tragedy to begin with, but I think God's grace spared many many folks.

i was married a little over 8 years in a kh.
i also had recorded almost every thing the wedding talk, and most of the reception.
any way the elder that gave the wedding talk was very long winded.
The above stories sound so familiar. I think that is why when I was a JW, I swore off marriage. Most of the older sisters in the KH were trying to get me married off at an early age. Thank God, HE had a bigger plan for me. I met my current and only hubby, and we are celebrating our 5th anniversary this week. HEHE.. the Lord works in the greatest of ways!
By the way, I've been to a couple of JW weddings. Their ceremonies lasted from 1-2 hours in length. My paganistic, heathen wedding only lasted 20 min. Then it was time to celebrate!

i just read this article in the chicago sun times.
when i started reading the parents were religious and then saw home-schooling, i had a gut feeling they were jw's.
i read on and found out i was right.
Hmmm --
Too many stories that sound soooo familiar. Unfortuanately, there was a lot of physical and emotional abuse in my family. I couldn't tell what was worse, the emotional or physical. It's amazing that my mother used to tell the same stoning story. I wonder if that is a prerequisite to become a JW parent. Pretty sad. Pretty sad.

what do the watchtower tell "brothers assigned by the congregation to give public talks"?
here is a letter from the british branch office:.

While cleaning out my closet, I found a box of tapes. Amoungst all the music tapes, I had found a tape made of a public talk by an elder in my old congregation. I popped the tape into the cassette player and began to listen to it. To all those who deny that College was discouraged in the KH's, I have a cassette tape to prove otherwise. It was a special public talk on guarding your children. Alright, so this has nothing to do with Kent's post, but sa-la-vie. Just wanted to air that one out. LOL.

question for the panel, please?.
at my local kmart there is always a jw table set up.
i dont get close enough to actually see what literature is set on the table but close enough to view the free bible study sign prominently displayed in the midst of books, etc.. generally, this card table is manned by two or three young women.
Obviously they started reading the scriptures about preaching in the market places. But, I wonder, was this self-sponsored work? Or has the WBTS put out an article about setting up at the local Wal-marts?

note this excerpt from one account of the u.s. supreme court deciding to hear this ohio case involving jws:.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/a63859-2001oct15.html.
the supreme court, however, has agreed to review one particular aspect of the case: the provision of the town's permit requirement that says jehovah's witnesses or other door-to-door canvassers must display their permits, which bear their names, on demand.. in siding with stratton, the cincinnati-based 6th u.s. circuit court of appeals noted that "individuals going door-to-door .
It is ironic that the one thing they hate the most - politics - is what they are defending. By using a political angle for their free speech rights is hypocritical.

Yankee Stadium - Location, Outdoor, and 5 kabillion degrees without shade.

Best, Harrisburg PA - $4 million+ built convention hall - not too big, but no where to goof around. lol
