give them a heart to know him.
ResistanceIsFutile said: Surely one of the Bethel writers was playing a joke with this article. "Hey let's see how many times we can reference circumcision and foreskins in this article"
I think that is why they had a 'serious' elder do the reading today instead of lively junior MS guy.
if this sentence slipped into one of the paragraphs in an upcoming study article about jehovah's wonderful creative works, would anyone notice?
would anyone have the courage to say anything about it?
maybe the gb is just toying with the r&f and having a good laugh.. last gb meeting: hey we got away with 'ovelapping generations' and the float of our new understanging of who we are doesn't seem to be causing a big stir so far.
If this sentence slipped into one of the paragraphs in an upcoming study article about Jehovah's wonderful creative works, would anyone notice? Would anyone have the courage to say anything about it? I mean, how far can they really go? Maybe the GB is just toying with the R&F and having a good laugh.
Last GB meeting: Hey we got away with 'ovelapping generations' and the float of our new understanging of who we are doesn't seem to be causing a big stir so far. Let's try something really outrageous. How far can it go?

I agree with the 2 posts above about how utterly trite and boring the material was. Looking ahead at next three in this study edition also doesn't look promising. Absolutely not planning to go again until the July studies to observe the reaction to the new-lite series and then that will be it. I will use that for my exit.
i met a couple i used to know many years ago (probably 20) in a local "big box" store.
i knew they looked familiar and since they were dressed up and it was saturday "mid day" i put two and two and two and came up with 666... they were jw's.
i didn't say anything to them just minded my business picking up supplies when the woman came over to me and started asking me if she new me from work or some company.
I've noticed the last few times I got to a meeting to keep the wife happy, the more 'spiritual, service minded' the individual was, the more likely it was that they would totally ignore me. The few 'real' folks make an effort to come by and say hello and try to 'encourage' me. It is really easy to notice here in Poland since the custom is to go around the hall once you are seated and greet everyone.
not trying to sound like a conpiracy nut...but just read this article:.

is this just a lot of talk?
They are already ruined. Just playing 'kick the can down the road' at the moment. Best it will ever be (for most of us) was in the mid 70's.
Long, slow descent. Read Jame Kunstler's 'The Long Emergency' or his latest: 'Too much magic'. If you are new to this.
this is probable my most favourite time of the year.
may.woop woop.
grass is growing, life is coming back after the death and greyness of winter.. them swallows are such amazing little birds.
They are one of my favorite birds too. I love to sit in the back yard when they are swarming and let them fly all around me. They seem to be having fun. So clumsy on the ground, so graceful in the air. Quite talkative when they want to be. Also interesting how they have the ability to land on the side of the house and perch there.

it all seems so playful and cutsie wootsie to an insider i suppose, i am seeing posts all over facebook about how this is just what my kid needs.. this is truly proper food at the proper time blah blah blah blomit blomit vomit vomit... the funniest part is however is that it cuts out at the end by saying "let's practice what you are going to say".. .
why not make the video longer and discuss how you can get an idea for a 6 year old on how to talk to a grown person about how they are going to die unless you study the bible with me..
Uggh, Too much for me! I have to admit though, it was pretty slick.
I just noticed the video projector in the hall hanging from the ceiling when the wife coerced me to go recently. I feel something bad comes our way.
Why would you need more than the bible to go out in service?
stumbling block.

Yes, crossing the finish line is not easy when the ones overseeing the race are constantly adjusting the rules, clarifying the “light.” Tripping the runners so to speak.
And I might add: they keep moving the finish line...
i am so tired of waking up without hope.
so tired of fighting one more day...i just want it to end as painless as possible.
i truly don't have the willpower or strength anymore..
Hang in there LouBelle. I feel the same most of the time and I have a good job and live quite a comfortable life (materially). For me it is just depressing to see where the human race is going. I try to spend time outside with my dogs and in the garden. A long walk in the forest also helps. If you don't have a job, perhaps you could get involved in some type of volunteer/community help activity. Send some PM's to people here you know well and ask for a listening ear. If I could, may I ask what you feel is missing in your life at the moment? What would help?
always loved his comedy - very inventive.
in his later years, he was a fixture around town.
he'd hang out (sometimes in front of the market, or at an executive services office in the village) and do comedy routines and banter with anyone who came by.. .
Wow. Thanks for the update. I thought he died a long time ago. Always loved him He was always on the edge (for that era) but would probably come across as pretty lame today. I need to check out some utube stuff to see if he is really as funny as I remember!
