Franz knew 7 languages, so they say. One thing is sure he made all the latest remodeling. But the foundation is still weak.

He had an utility program to reformatt your head and upload a "new pure language", no much luck in china, but i am amazed the results in Japan, Those strange characters (i mean writting symbols).

I have eunough problems with languages based on the Alphabet and the Arabic numbering system 0-9.

Did i said numbering system? then teki came up with binary, hex, octal. ebcdc (?IBM language) assembler, machine language, ASCII etc etc Not to mention "hi leve"l languages HTML bla bla.

Don't blame only god alone....

The 4 Interpol official languages: English, Spanish, French, Arab (can't rembmer which one)

WORLD OF LIES COMING UNRAVELED

by You Know in

some historians date the beginning of the end of the soviet empire to the chernobyl disaster, for the reason that for several days after the explosion, as the radioactive cloud floated quietly over europe, the soviet government said nothing to warn people of the dangers that may have minimized some of the exposure.

it ruined their credibility, from which they never recovered.

presently, the whole capitalist system has an even worse credibility problem.

YK

started this topic saying in part::

"Of course, loyalty and devotion are two separate things and it is possible to be loyal to the Society without having our faith bound by their every utterance. "

"There are in fact numerous prophecies that speak to this very test that God has arranged"

Obviously he still beleive that God has an org or group apart the rest of the world, which make some mistakes..

Then can anyone ask him the followin question:

How should we understand the prophecy about sheep and goat?

Where the jw fit on the whole picutre, when Jesus separate sheep and goat.

When will it happen?

Does the prophecy shows/describeshows an special group apart from the rest of the world?

With all the "tacking" I lost WT track on this one...

i can not beleive what i just saw on the all news channel.

it was a commercial endorsed by the christain congregation of jehovah's witnesses.. the commercial starts off with a mom checking on her son,who can not sleep .

They have read the hanwriting on the wall

WT is a publishing corp.

They knew it is harder and more expensive to advertise/sell over the tv.

At the very least they would have to increase price in some countries.

And i dont see how they can, over tv "sell/donate".in the USA

Who in his right mind will place an order for "literature" over the phone or over the INTERNET?

But

No more voluntay salespeople (publisher) comming. They have no choice

Are there any ex-missionaries here??

by fulano in

i have been a missionary in the dominican republic for almost 10 years and i was wondering if there were any ex-missionaries on this forum.. i am back in my country now for 3 years and totally inactive.. what i noticed in those missionary-years was the lack of spiritual interest among the missionaries.. discussions were about rooms, cars and greater responsibilities, the bad territory.

and the local c.o.s and d.os.. was this only in the dr or are there other experiences??.

ere other experiences?

LDH

As the WT suggested I went to where the need was greater, outside the usa, twice. Heavy responsabilities, judicial commitees etc etc. I paid all my expenses, not to be under wt control.

Then later had a contract with the Navy to provide technical services whre the need was greater...

Were you a missionary too or just serving at the military airpor/base?

this morning as i was trimming my beard, i was thinking about when i was a drone and the times that iws counseled about my 5:00 shadow at the meetings, and i rembered a time when my dad was told to go and trim his sideburns b 4 he could go on stage at an assembly.. at one time it promted a friend of mine and i to write a letter to the society, since they could change thier minds on doctrinal issues as the light gets brighter we thought maybe we could get them to change thier minds on this issue, (yeah right).

a few months later he recived a letter from the society the essence of it was like this : it would not be inapproiate for a brother to wear a nice trim beard but the elders in the local area would have to detirmin if it would be acceptable for the brother to be used in the cong.

and go door to door, as some areas might be more open to it than others.
