  Are you approved to report (from the km for july)

  by therevealer in

  2. bible

  yes indeedy.

  if you are fortunate enough to be approved you can report (as in be allowed to report) 15-minute increments.

  i knew that older ones, for example, were encouraged to report even the smallest amount of service and the cong.

  what's the point of all this micro managing? Most people round off (fudge) their reports anyway.

  here are extracts from the bbc science news report, plus a link for anyone who wants to read it all.

  "the smallest mammoth ever known to have existed roamed the island of crete millions of years ago, researchers say..... .

  Phizzy, it ain't just JWs .... there are lots of other fundie groups that take the Bible at its literal word, and are impervious to science.

  Prozac Use Among JWs, Bethelites, Circuit Overseers and District Overseers, What Gerritt Loesch Said

  by Scott77 in

  any bethelite whom served the past 5/6 years remembers gerritt loesch's morning worship when he mentioned over 40% of those in special full-time service (bethel, missionary, co, do) were on antidepressants, such as prozac.

  serious phenomena affecting many, but throw the tight reins, multiplies it.

  I was there for four years, 1965-1969; I live just 60 miles from there now; and I haven't had the slightest interest in going back for a visit.

  Yes, trying to talk people back into the organization is the main theme of the current Special Day assemblies; they've been pushing this notion hard since the Memorial.

  Phizzy, it's not the bottom of the market in that location --- the area is highly prized -- one ot the most desirable in the entire city -- and pretty well immune to the vagaries of the general market.

  Alteration in the German Watchtower about spousal physical abuse

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i noticed that the german edition of the study watchtower for today didn't include the phrase about the husband "hitting" the sister.

  instead it just says that he became ferociously angry, which need not imply physical abuse.

  i wonder if the german translator altered it off his own back or was instructed, and how other language editions compare.

  As I said in an erlier "Steve and Selma" thread, I don't recall the details, but I believe there was an instance in which the Italian translation committee was taken to task over their translated version of an English text.

  Tomorrow's Watchtower Study: Steve hits Selma in North America... not South America

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i started a thread a few days ago that probably went unnoticed for the most part (under "scandals & cover-ups") regarding steve hitting selma in tomorrow's wt study... i just wanted to recap it here for those who may have missed it.... the spanish version changes the story completely.... if you've read that paragraph 12 it basically says that steve hit selma as she tried to prove a point.

  selma then feels sorry for herself.. in the spanish version steve merely gets furious with her and she gets sad.. by the way, i just looked up the italian version... .

  selma ricorda una lezione che imparo dalla sorella che le conduceva lo studio.
