our congregation is rationing regular bibles like they're gold bars.
i was told that bethel is out of stock!
anyone else hear about this?
Sorry Outlaw... I stole your pic for a sec... wanted to put my own caption on it...
Elder: Honey, let's just keep talking to each other. If we do, no one will approach us, time will go by fast and we can count our time.
Elder's Wife: Good idea... what do you want me to cook for lunch?
i ask this because the wt always bangs on about if you trust in jehovah and make that leap into pioneering, you will always be provided for.
at the time i joined the cult, a friend was continuous aux.
pioneering.
The Witch Tower has an easy answer for that... If you ended up poor, it just means you didn't trust Jehovah as much as you should have... Works every time...
from talking to several fading jws over the years, it really does appear that assembly talk assignments are usually given to those pos who consistently hand over the thickest envelopes to the co at the end of his week-long visits.
if the envelope was too thin (or there was no enevelope at all), chances are that no one in that congo would get an assemby talk assighnment.
also, if the co and his wife were treated well or taken to expensive restaurants during their visit, that apparently increased the po's chances of getting an assembly talk assignment.

Has anyone else heard of anything similar or have my observations been pure coincidence?
yahweh didn't get a name till moses come up with the "i am" thing.. not sure how it made it from i am to yahweh.
and even crazier from yahwh to jehovah.. but anyway, my question is this: since god didn't have a name until "exodus" and if bible translaters say they are being accurate.... how come the name became retro-active and genesis gives god the name jehovah before he really has a name?.
how can these translaters call this accurate?.
Had it not been for Tyndale, the Dubs would be called Yawweh's Witnesses instead of Jehovah's Witnesses.
It's no wonder why he's on the cover of this year's Memorial invitation.
caleb's mom wanted for questioning in the disappearance of sparlock the warrior wizard.

At least Caleb can still play with his toy airplane that's based on inverted gull wing dive bomber aircraft of World War II...
i can't scan the memorial invitation for 2013, but i was looking at it today and noticed something curious on the front drawing.. we have jesus as the central figure of the composition.
to his right and bottom, a large crown, in colour, of shiny happy people of diverse origins.. separated from this by the figure of jesus, is another group, a much smaller one, on the left and as if ascending to the top, and grayed.. clearly portrayed in this group is the face of ct russell and apparently william tyndale.
but then, also sarah and abraham and other personalities of the ot seem to be represented there.
William Tyndale, a known freemason, also made the cut...
this is a question i have had for over 13 years, since i first found out that rutherford had a house, named beth sarim, built for him in san diego.
where did the money come from for the 100 acres of land the house was situated upon, and for the design and construction of the house?
in the proclaimer's book, it is said that a "direct contribution" was made for the house.
fascinating thread
did you know people like this?
you get in their car and the kingdom melodies are playing on prerecorded piano... you go to their house and there they are in an orchestral arrangement... even when i was a complete believer i cringed when i had to hear this banal crap!
I had to endure listening to kingdumb melodies as a kid during and after Saturday Field Circus... it was so depressing, especially on cloudy days...
it is midnight here in the north pacific.
but for you in france and germany, it is 9 am.
doesn't it feel great to do something else, anything else, then knock, knock, knocking on peoples doors?.
Isn't Sunday Field Circus reserved for the CO visit?
i have been skimming the magazine this morning, and the whole issue seems designed to keep the flock at the kh.
yes, i know this is not exactly " new " information.
still with all the problems the organization is having, this one just seemed to strike me as odd.
Jehovah will be with you in the months ahead...
Sounds like the GB 2.0 had a meeting recently to discuss the recent decline in productivity and decided to create an ambiguous motivational slogan to keep the dubs awake... notice how they didn't say "years ahead"...
