The one about the pioneer stroll is interesting... basically, they're subconsciously admitting to themselves that there really is no "sense or urgency" amongst the rank and file...
But you're right... This humor is extremely painful...
the list of photos is long, some are very arrogant like "you go to church and say your a christian, that's like saying i have a motorcyle in my garage and that makes me a evil knivel!!
" what is the common thread of all these photos, head out to the site and see if you find anything funny.
my funny bone is not working, might be for you?

it sucked.
the co said that the term, " the truth " means " truthful understanding of the scriptures.
" he also said that the truth does not change.
Truthful Understanding of the Scriptures? Now I've heard it all...
As opposed to "untruthful understanding" of the Scriptures? WTF does that even mean... These guys are such poor wordsmiths... they're not even trying to be creative with their BS anymore...
firstly, thanks to atlantis for the answer sheet he just provided.... can you believe the unmitigated gall of the wt in providing this answer to question 3?
3. what did paul mean when he wrote that women should keep silent in the congregations?

Wha happened... did you also notice the other "weasel" phrase? "as was the custom in that part of the world". So not only do these clowns in Brooklyn pretend to be proficient in the ancient Greek language, they would also like people to believe that they're anthropology professors as well. They really do make shit up as they go along, don't they?

Can you believe the unmitigated gall of the WT in providing this answer to question 3? :
3. What did Paul mean when he wrote that women should “keep silent in the congregations”? (1 Cor. 14:34) [Sept. 9, w12 9/1 p. 9, box] Paul advised not only women but all who had the gift of tongues and prophecy to “keep silent” when another believer was speaking. (1 Cor. 14:27-30, 33) Likely some Christian women were so enthusiastic about their newfound faith that they interrupted the speaker to ask questions, as was the custom in that part of the world. To avoid such disorder, Paul encouraged them to “question their own husbands at home.” (1 Cor. 14:35)
30 minutes ago i just got off the phone with some important players in this case, and some things were relayed to me concerning a lot of details of the outcome of the last two days of court.
i am passing this on.
cynthia hampton, one of the main players in the candace conti case (and a close friend of 28 years), just informed me of a further, far more powerful move by the state of california against the watch tower bible and tract society of new york, inc.. by order of the superior court of the state of california - county of alameda (see documents below), until the watch tower's appeal, which won't begin until august 13th and will take up to two years to settle due to due process of law, has forbidden the watch tower to sell any more of its $1 billion in assets in the borough of brooklyn until the appeals case is finished, to assure they won't shelter their monies in the light of this most huge and devastating sexual abuse scandal ever to hit the watch tower society, and perhaps any other single-victim lawsuit.
So can they sell their properties or not?

This was over 6 years ago... the next Kingdom News (KN 38) won't be out until November of this year. It takes them that long to write such a small periodical? I don't get it...
jcpenney removes a billboard after complaints that the tea kettle featured resembled adolf hitler.
does it look like hitler to you?
does it offend you?
What's next? Sending planes up to the sky to break up clouds that resemble Hitler?
i was just glancing at the back of the october 15th watchtower and the questions from readers.
the question under discussion is "what should i do when i have a question about something i read in the bible or when i need advice about a personal problem?".
the article goes on to discuss how we should consult the watch tower publications index among the many 'tools' that have been provided by the faithful and discreet slave whenever we have a question that is not directly discussed in the publications.. one statement really caught my eye, because it's the first time i've ever seen the society actually dissuade people from writing in with questions.
Now that they've finally found a way to squelch most questions, they can say whatever they want about 1914, 1918 and who really is the FDS.
Basically, if they put ink on paper, dubs are to simply accept it no matter how senseless and bizarre...
anyone getting/hearing how baptism numbers are this summer @ conventions?
in previous years, reports showed less baptisms per attendance numbers.
overall, annual 2012 service report showed for u.s. reduction in baptisms..
Gayle... what was the attendance at tht Crooklyn DC? That seems really low, even for a small DC...
i dropped off my wife the other day at the cuircit ass and driving out of the car park i was flagged down by an elder i know.
he was and still is one of the genuine ones, a real solid guy.
anyhoo, he tells me to come back as we are so close to the big a and he also tells me that a new bible is gonna be released.
They need to calculate their ROI on the skinny mags before they budget for a new Bible... Remember, their rule of thumb is 400% profit or it doesn't get approved...
