Baptized niece crowned prom queen. Could her dad loose his MS appt?

by StarTrekAngel in

so my niece (not thru my brother but rather my wife) had been talking about going to her prom.

the family had privately been somewhat doubtful that she would be allowed to go.

the problem was that they kept promising she would be allowed but history has shown us that her parents tend to get her excited about things and then drop the denial on her at the last minute.

Lose his position as MS?: he should be so lucky!

Right, Smiddy,

Another "known unknown" for me: 1919

by Doug Mason in

having grappled with this question, i decided to turn to the combined expertise at jwn.

my questions relate to the watchtower's self-determined appointment in 1919:.

how does the watchtower arrive at the year 1919 for its appointment?

Hi Doug,

I believe Paul Grundy, over at jwfacts.com, recently treated this topic; please have a look. I don't recall the details; but trust me: as is typical, it rests on the flimsiest of premises.

Why not save even more pages: a simple post-it note: "when in doubt, just say "NO" to anything that's fun, rewarding, or life-affirming!

hang in there for the very last comment from caleb!

Room 215

This must be enthralling entertainment to the downsized ex-Bethelites who can now view it from the outside looking in. Why don't they tack this on to the end of Christopher George's speech as a sort of coda to his "Dealing with Change?"

The Big House Forced Exodus

by ttdtt in

long video i guess addressing the many hard feelings of people getting the axe at brooklyn and other facilities.. the gist is - thanks for your help, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

He hit the nail on the head when he said "we're an organization built on change."

"All generous giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or the slightest hint of change."... NET Bible, James 1:17
