what would happen if we started dropping fake check or bills inside the donation box of an assembly?
i know, is a crime, but so is pushing someone to not accept blood and die.
would it help skew the numbers enough if enough of us did it?.
once when I was a teenager and helping with the final count of the donations someone left a 1 million dollar bill in the "local congregation" box. The MS said he had a pretty good idea who left it. I never found out. Nothing ever came of it. No local needs or anything anyway.
heyo!.
i'm quite interested in knowing the average age of those of us who use this forum.
i made a quick strawpoll that you can find at the following link: http://strawpoll.me/4340636 just pick an age and click "vote" if you wish to participate.. admins: if this breaks any rules, i apologize in advance..

the bible does say that the "day of jehovah" (armageddon) would be associated with the sun becoming dark followed by the moon turning to blood.
but the moon turning to blood is specific to a total lunar eclipse.
quick synopsis...the local spanish congo is the only one in about a 40 mile radius.
most of the members live nearby, but the ones in the outskirts have up to a 1 hour trip depending on beach traffic.
recently the wife and i noticed that the hall's parking lot had been secured by a wall and electric gates added to all three exits and entrances.
Its a shaming method. The cong i was in here in Colorado would block off the last 2-3 rows for all the ones who showed up late. The problem was, the hall was full of babies and they responsible ones got there early to sit in the back so as not to disrupt the meeting with getting up with the little ones. It quickly backfired on them because all the babies were fussing from near the front. It only lasted 2-3 weeks. Its funny, treat the late ones like they are babies or worse yet... df'd.
And 5 before it started?! Not 5 after? wow

this is very clever!.
i'm sure every witness has heard this sort of reasoning over the years?.
in the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).
house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.
the subject of the study was jesus resurrection .
my post is not about the subject and whether or not that can be believed in.
millions of christians do and it is not my place to debunk religious faith.
I wish that my mother never spent $0.10 on the Watchtower and Awake...
Ditto. My mom came in and was baptized in 1974. Remember, Armageddon was just a year away! :scream:
BB- Thanks for the recap. I've been out nearly 4 years and nothing much has changed. Same old sh*t.
the new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).
before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.
first, the reason i think it should be shown:.
No problem here.
I just read over all the previous posts. Bottom line, don't share so much personal information that could be used to ID yourself IF you fear being outed.
Its an open/public forum. Anything you say can and will be used against you. :smirk:
at least my user name is more accurate now.

Only 12999 were useless. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Either way, glad you made it over.
