Haven't read the essay yet, but does anyone know the specific reference from 1987 where 7,000 year creative days were last mentioned?

Does the wtbs consider rock climbing an extreme sport?

by hoser in

gbrn

I live in an area where rock climbing is very popular because of the local geography. Many, many Witnesses are involved. I know of several elders who are really into it. I've never heard once in this area that it is an extreme sport (at least from the 40 and under crowd). They pride themselves on being "safe" when they go out to the mountains and the rock climbing gym. I'm sure it changes from region to region though. I'm just tellling how it is like where I live and from what I've observed.

Layton Kor was a famous rock climber who became a Witness. I had heard that he still climbed until his health didn't allow it, but had stepped back from the climbing scene when he became a Witness. I recently saw his book in a local bookstore.

Crisis of Conscience no longer available for Kindle?

by gbrn in

i noticed that both of franz's books were available through amazon.com in kindle format a few months back.

that no longer seems to be the case.

anyone have any knowledge as to why they are no longer available through kindle as an ebook?.

gbrn

Thanks! The pdf is great. Just curious why the kindle version was taken down. Formatting issues makes sense, that's a shame. Hope to see it back up at some point. I like seeing it widely available on platforms like Amazon.

Possible Dub pickup line

hey babe, how about you and me doing a -.

I was sent a list of joke pick up lines from someone years ago when I was still "in." They are pretty awful, I'm sure they would make many JWs cringe too!

I do not take credit for these, haha! Here are just a few, please forgive me :

- I lost my songbook, can I share yours?

- Do you know a public place where we could get to know each
other better? (my personal favorite)

- Oh you look cold! (Ecc. 4:11)

- I am here for you to incite love and fine works.

- Hi there, will you be my Shulamite?

- Excuse me, I believe one of your ribs belongs to me.

- Your congregation or mine?

- ...So...do you belong to this circuit? Want to?

- We need to be fruitful...and become many.
