  Inviting People to Meetings

  by HereIam60 in

  the current memorial invitation campaign got me thinking about the few times over the years that someone i invited to a meeting actually came: .

  1) once when i was "new", i invited a friend to a sunday meeting.

  neither of us drove, so the brother conducting my study picked us up.

  What date is the memorandum*? I think the local JWs have turned up to invite us every year since COVID restrictions were lifted.

  * It's a business, so we use business terms 😌

  14-19 just some quote and a few comments from me, very, very repetitious.

  the gb seems to think that the rank and file came up the years 1914, 1925, 1975, generation (70-80 years from 1914=1994), overlapping generations.

  Of course it's all bogus sect 🎎 stuff. And this is a discussion board, ostensibly to discuss stuff from that particular sect. So we're discussing it. 🎤

  Are There any JW Teaching that you DO Agree With?

  (apologies for the typo in the title.

  "teaching" should read "teachings".

  i misread vanderhoven7's most recent post as being the above.

  FayeDunaway: that's the sort of thing I was expecting.

  I'm surprised no-one came into this thread to agree with the stance on the Trinity and other theological points.

  1914 should ultimately be jettisoned as a pivotal point. As we get further forward from that date, it just seems sillier to hold on to it. The SDA church wiggled out of the failed 1844 date by framing it as being the beginning of "investigating judgement". The WT will have to try something similar if they want to hold on to that date (1914) and for it to make at least a modicum of sense.

  Trump Tariffs started today, Some Countries Caved in early morning.

  usa politicians in charge of the economy for the past 50 years were too stupid to understand how the economy works.

  this just proves my theory, that an education on the top tier universities just sucks and means nothing in the real world, unless its in the stem education.

  for 50 years usa had zero tariffs on other countries.

  "NVIDIA at one point had a triple digits P/E ratio (meaning the stock was trading at more than twice the actual value of the company)"

  A triple digit P/E ratio probably means much more than simply twice a company's value. What's the net tangible asset backing per share?

  i have had some correspondence from several masonic watchtower leaders recently who have expressed repentance over their blasphemy of jehovah's name and it's been encouraging to see that people can change..

  Thanks, vienne! Now it makes sense.

  Is Russell alluding to some sort of common handshake within his group, or just that he coincidentally sometimes shakes hands in a similar fashion to those he knows as masons?

  Blondie, what did Russell mean by "grips" in the above quote attributed to him? It's an odd turn of phrase. Is it some sort of local colloquialism?
