all they want is some spiritually-qualified publishers blind individuals who believe they are god's mouthpiece on earth.
no wonder their artwork is so poor.. .
christian congregation of jehovahs witnesses2821 route 22, patterson, ny 12563-2237 phone: (845) 306-11001/8/15-e usjanuary 8, 2015to all congregations in the united states branch territoryre: art skills needed at betheldear brothers:the beautiful illustrations in our printed publications and on jw.org serve as teaching aidsthat emphasize spiritual truths from the bible.
I feel sorry for the highly qualified, widely experienced experts who volunteer their skills.
They will be used to working for professional clients or companies.
All of a sudden they will find themselves under a 'supervisor' who has no clue about the work, no idea how to manage people, and they will be expected to toe the line in the face of the most ridiculous ideas and requests.
Personally, I couldn't lower my standards to such a level.

JOKE!!
during the course of the year congregations pass a number of resolutions to send money to the branch.
this year i've resolved to count all money grab endeavors.
so far for the month of january there were two locally:.
wannaexit 2. it was resolved to send $500.00 for the care of the circuit overseer's car and medical expenses.
I thought this was paid for by the branch.
If the CO gets this each week from the congregations he visits, that's a very useful $26k salary he's got there!

10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.
12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.
15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.
The barefaced deception they try to propagate is stunning.
Compare these two opposing statements from the WT:
YES - Awake! 1994 May 22 p.2 Youths Who Put God First 3-15
In former times thousands of youths died for putting God first. They are still doing it, only today the drama is played out in hospitals and courtrooms, with blood transfusions the issue.
NO - Watchtower 1998 December 1 p.14 Defending Our Faith
Second, Jehovah's Witnesses have been targets of false accusations-barefaced lies and twisted presentations of their beliefs... The accusation that numerous children of Jehovah's Witnesses die each year as a result of refusing blood transfusions is totally unfounded.

i find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.
"for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!
but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.
LUHE, now compare this contrasting statement

Millennium Begin? ***

i heard form a reliable source that a kingdom hall consolidation is going to be happening in the us.
currently they are looking at every kingdom hall to see if they could and should sell it.
any kingdom hall that has not been updated and is in a bad location (long driveway, not in a visible location etc...) will be sold.
I can't think of any at my hall who would be willing to travel to another hall if the local one got sold.
