a few years ago i heard of a story about two jw's being at a green day concert.
i think that the witnesses were bethelites.
the person that told me that story said that the band was about to play but they couldn't.
hardtobeme Green Day had to make an announcement: "Is there any Jehovah's witnesses here?". The two brothers stood up. Then they continue to say:"We cannot start playing until those two are gone". And they had to leave the concert.
What that person didn't tell you was what Green Day said next.
"I would throw you out myself, but for those two big guys you have stood with you...."
i'm finding it more and more funny how every wt article for the public or congregation, including jw broadcast talks about all this "growth" and how fast jehovha's organization is speeding up!
yet everything behind closed doors, insider information, elder letters and sales paint a very different picture.
i have news for you gb members!
Take heart!
Many third world countries are predominantly Muslim, so there will be difficulties getting converts.

The story is true. Green Day went on to write an album about the JW's.
It started when an elder called on Billie Joe at home, prompting "American Idiot"
Then he heard about all of the failed prophecies - "Boulevard of broken dreams".
He read Fred Franz Bible chronology - "Wake me up when September ends".
Finally saw some trolley witnesses - "Jesus of Suburbia".
Prior to all this it's rumoured that Greenday met Stephen Lett - "Basket case".
i'm looking into uav certification.
i can pilot a uav, i'm sure of that, and i think they will become a good source of employment in civilian life.
at least everything i have read supports that idea.
so a friend in a nearby hall told me their co came through, and in a hellish week of long meetings and inquisition overhauled the boe.
only one remains as elder, three were re-appointed as ms, and one, the cobe was deleted entirely.. two new elders were brought in as new secretary and cobe / watchtower conductor, respectively, and introduced to the congregation from the platform on sunday immediately following his second talk.
he reminded everybody of the authority he has and then named the new appointees.
The scriptural difference between an elder and MS is that the elder must be 'qualified to teach'.
Apart from that, no difference.
