what does a person do with a shale mine?
can this be a nuclear bunker in disguise?
Preaching the Kingdom of God requires the owning and operating of a shale mine. I thought everyone knew that.
Shale is used in concrete so I assume the WT is saving money(or trying too) by mixing their own aggregate. It seems hard to beleive that they can compete with modernized companies(like lehigh)on price when it comes to redi-mixed concrete. I bet they dont operate the pit anymore. Perhaps a member donated it or willed it to them. Or perhaps they use it for gravel.
hey everybody:.
i am in desperate need of advice and i was wondering if any of you could help me out.
i'm in a bit of a pickle.. here's the story:.
I agree with Bgoat and Marylin. Trust me, a bad marriage is no fun. Any pain he may feel by you saying no, will be multiplied a 1000 times, by both of you, if you say yes and are not ready. -OM
bonjour,.
i would like to know how many french post on this board.
(we all know charles chasson) recently i saw the name georges.. can you please write me:.
Where are you from sleepy? just curious
what may at first glance seem like a fantasy, the ex-dub island of refuge project is for real.
simply put, several friends on this network have decided to throw their resources together to create a better life for themselves by buying a privately owned tropical island, making a community, developing employment for all, and enjoying great fellowship while living in this aposta fiesta paradise.. a few weeks ago, i started a lighthearted thread entitled,would you like to live on gilligans island?.

okay-count me in!
a terrible, unhappy picture?.
yes it is, but nevertheless biblical.
it depicts.
Thats a great plan. Jehovah is really creative! How wonderful!
imagine this!
what a tempting thought.. the org, banned, witnesses hunted like rats thru the streets as they sneak around in their reverse coats and changeable hats carrying out the preaching work.
outside your house an incident,three neighbours are beating up on a witness, hitting him over the head with his own briefcase.. would you join in?
For me, it would honestly depend on who it was.
i know these topics have been well-covered in many places.
this is just me wanting to compile a list of concise reasons why i am sure the wt interpretation of the deluge is untenable.
this is my first draft.
Im gonna tell you what my JW grandmother told me: You think too much.
did you have a favourite publication?
what was your least liked publication?
creation book for the shady wt take on science.. unseen spirits, do they help us or do they harm us?
Least favorite: School brochure- what a complete load of shit that is.
They should change the name of it to- " We want our JW Kids To Be Freaks Brochure"
Most Favorite: dont have one
i've got a bit of a question, or maybe a poll .
.. my wife is a jw and i am not.
that pretty much sums up or life.
If it was not for the fact that I have a 6 yr old son, I would start over. I do not think a deep connection is possible between a jw and a non JW.
The bottom line is that I am the one who changed(I was raised a dub). She deserves a spiritual head of the house. I will never be the person she wants. Everything that I am is less than desirable to her because I'm part of this "wicked system" and not a "lover of Jehovah" as they say at conventions.
At this point I simply want to provide my son with a comfortable and secure household. I will continue to focus on him until he is out on his own. After that I am not sure which direction I will go, perhaps things will be different in 10 years.
if present trends continue, the organization may go into statistical.
decline (as measured by its own standards) in two years.. it is important to realize that this would be the result of.
long term trends, not just a reaction to false prophecy, as occured.
I just had a witness tell me that people are flocking into Jehovahs organization. This person is a programmer for IBM. He really believes this. Sad
