Thanks Blondie . This study was example of growing trend of mind control . Nothing really deep and biblical
about it. Listen, Obey or die . What a truly loving arrangement.
early yesterday morning i was driving through town on a street that rearly has any foot traffic and never at 7:30 am on a sunday morning and there they were.
a group of jbubs milling about counting time.
i drove a little further and there was a second group walking slowly down the street in the morning drizzle.
Every hour engaged in this busy work is one less hour they can be doing real research on the internet . Learning TTATT
i would appreciate answers on this from elders or former elders .. speaking to a young unbaptized witness, he said that he'd like to get baptized asap, but he would have to achieve a return visit or two on his report before that could happen.. when i asked him what made him think that, he said that that was what the elders had told his sister to do, before she could get baptized.
is this standard practice by elders?.
haven't they read acts 2:38 to find out what qualifies a person for baptism?
Simple manipulation by idiot elders
hello, its been a long time since i was an active member to this forum.
life had gotten busy, and i had forgotten my old log in information.
it was 11 years, and 3 computers ago when i had made my original account here.
Way to go
i've lurked on this site for about 18 months and read with interest.
nice to be able to see that there are others who have similar feelings to me.
i'm still in but feel a bit of a phoney given the way i think about things.
Hello, glad to have yah
all documents of important nature such as, our kingdom ministry, boe letters, forms, or other materials will now be sent only by email or private message communications.
they will not be posted out here on the board.
if someone else wants to post them, be my guest.. .. we have no other choice in this matter, and sending out confidential documents is better when it is done privately.
I got it ! Went into my trash folder .
Thanks so much for trying again

What am I doing wrong?
"if it was'nt for the preaching work there would be millions more witnesses" - he was saying jehovah wants quality not quantity.. si i'm thinking, what's the difference as long as he has a people that live by bible standards and are moral.
maybe sharing their hope and faith with friends and relatives on a casual basis?
how backwards is that?.
They need the most easily deluded .
The meek won't sue .
