  the city has lost more than half of its population over the last 60 years.

  in 1950, the city was the fourth-largest city in the country with a population of nearly 2 million.

  today its population is estimated at just under 700,000.. once the industrial powerhouse of america it's now declared bancruptcy.

  Put a 'No Junk Mail' sign on your door

  We had the Junk Mail letter too. It was quite forcefully worded that the branches have angry householders phoning, demanding to know why they are getting tracts posted when the sign says No Junk Mail.

  The other problem is the branches get calls from the public saying they have told JW's not to call but they keep on.

  Seems we have some super zealous JW's who know better than to respect peoples reasonable requests.

  What do you expect when you tell sub-intelligent people to DO MORE! DO MORE! DO MORE!

  Do the WTS actually destroy all of your records if requested?

  by Thoughtless in

  2. beliefs

  hello, sorry for the multiple posts, but this has also been a question of mine to ask.. .

  does the wts actually destroy your files if you request them to after you get df'd?

  i honestly do not believe so, yet i feel as if you cannot call them on their bs if you do.

  When I was small my mother wouldn't let me use those stick-on/wash-off tattoos.

  This was long before the teaching appeared in the magazines:

  *** g04 7/8 p. 30 From Our Readers ***

  Tattoos Thank you very much for the article “Young People Ask . . . Should I Get a Tattoo?” (September 22, 2003) I really thought tattoos were cool and wanted to get a temporary tattoo sticker. However, the statement that we wouldn’t want to make markings on our body that dishonored God “even temporarily” really hit me. When I considered that wearing a tattoo could stumble others and cause others to view me as rebellious, I decided not to do so.

  DID YOU KNOW the latest Brooklyn sell-offs will take total Watchtower earnings to $804 MILLION since 2004?

  hi folks.

  i apologize if this is old news to some, but it's news to me.. i stumbled on a comprehensive list of all the sold properties on wikipedia on this link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/watch_tower_bible_and_tract_society_of_pennsylvania#brooklyn_property_sales.

  it's just a mind-boggling amount of money, and useful information to have handy when talking to witness relatives.

  A great money spinner for the Soc would be if they released their own 'Thablet' (Theocratic Tablet).

  Millions of dubs would buy them, they could be locked to jw.org, and there would be no need to print as much.

  A monthly subscription plus a newly released Thablet every two years would generate Million$.

  WatchTower Bible and Tablet Society anyone?

  If it takes a team of 10 people two weeks to translate some WT material into one new language, how long does it take to translate that same material into 10, 50, 200 more languages?

  Answer: Two weeks.

  Every time a new language is needed, more volunteers are added. The total man hours goes up, but the lead time (elapsed time) remains at two weeks.

  Old out-of-touch JWs using antiquated terms

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ever notice how completely out of touch some (most?

  ) public speakers are?.

  last week we had a speaker ramble on for fully 1/3, maybe 1/2, of his 30 minute talk on the evils of "rap music".. i don't believe the term "rap music" has been uttered by anyone under the age of 40 for at least 20-25 years.. this week we got another "older gentleman" warning us about the pervasive dangers of "internet chat rooms".. again - didn't "chat rooms" die out about the same time as dialing up to connect to aol?.

  You are banned from transfusing the major component 'white cells' (leukocytes), but a breast fed baby eats white cells in the mothers colostrum.

  This is something I have never understood.

  Why aren't the leukocyte donors (the mothers) disfellowshipped the same as any other donor?
