I hope Putin replies to each one in writing. Putin can tell them to kick rocks and count their blessings they are not in Russia.

The Russian letters
by purrpurr inso all the jw's i know are practically wetting their pants in excitement over the russian letters they are sending out.
they seem to have this insane idea that putin's office will be pulled sky high with all these letters and they have this image in their imaginations of him having to open and read every letter (!).
also all the jw's i know have all put their name and address on the letter... which couldn't have any repercussions of course (!

Why did Satan tempt Eve with a talking snake when he could have materialised as another human to tempt her ?
by smiddy insince the angels that followed satan could take on human form and even have sex and bear offspring to females of earth why would satan not have used this avenue instead of talking through a snake .?
which really makes no common sense ?.
why wouldnt eve question how a snake could talk?

It is because the story, much like the rest of Genesis, was plagiarized from the Sumerian tale of Gilgamesh.

After the 'Miracle' Chairs Video, What Pointless Tasks have you seen Assigned?
by Slidin Fast insheffield 1980s i think.
there was a grassy area that needed mowing to put a collapsible baptismal pool on i think.
there was no mower so they gave a bunch of sisters a pair of scissors each and they went on their knees and snipped away.. only in jehovah's organisation!.

I had announcements one night. I made the announcement that we were having a going-away party for some old friends at the Kingdom Hall on Saturday afternoon. I pulled a weed from my suit coat and held it up. Basically, it was a weed pulling from our parking lot. Shockingly, half the congregation showed up.

"Fake news" is a disingenuous moniker intended to be inflammatory. I do believe that mega media (CNN, Fox News, MSN, etc.) all attempt to put a political spin on every story. I cannot remember a time in recent years where a story was presented for the sole purpose of informing people. It seems that ever news story has to be some how the fault of conservative or liberal political parties.
The news coverage of the last U.S. presidential campaign has caused me to officially tune out the "news". I used to start my Sunday morning with massive cups of coffee, fried bacon, and hours of Sunday morning news programming. I haven't watched the news in months now.

I always thought the official company line was - "God does not test us. He allows us to be tested."
Satan challenged God's authority. In order to save face with creation, God accepted the challenge and now mankind suffers to appease God's ego.

Prior to the internet being a common thing for everyone, I was heavily into the dial-up, 1200 baud rate Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). I used to county time typing posts and responses. Then we were told that's not kosher. I guess that's changed.

I bought a house literally in walking distance from the local Kingdom Hall. We used to get Saturday morning doorknockers on a regular basis. Then it stopped. For years.
Yesterday morning 2 Witnesses knocked on my door. The one handed me a tract which was the Memorial invitation. I was asked if I was familiar with the biblical account of the Lord's Evening Meal. I responded in the affirmative.
The one who handed me the tract asked, "Would you mind if I share with you...?"
He started to go for his bible and I thought he was going to say "scripture." Instead, to my surprise, he pulled out an iPad and said "video."
I kindly declined and wished them well. I started having visions of Witnesses knocking on people's doors with hand cranked phonographs a hundred years ago.
In addition, there was no attempt to further the conversation after I declined.
The pathetic decline is real.

I think this delves into the area of instinct, which is something hardwired into us at birth. At least to a certain extent.

TMS may or may not have helped other than giving me opportunities to prove to myself I had the skill set for public speaking.
I was already baptized and 15 years old when I first joined the TMS. I remember giving my first talk, the old #2. No one realized it was my first talk.
