i have seen many witnesses with 4,5,6,7 kids.
no problem with that.
they are mostly loving families but today i experianced the birth of my son.. the emotions of my wife... the pain... the fear... the hope combined with the joy of the birth and seeing my wife reaction when she held the baby was well balanced.. .

i occasionally pop through here to catch up on the latest, but this time i'm going to pop my own post on here.. some of you internet oldsters may even remember this.
my first experience on the internet regarding discussions about jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower took place on a now-obscure usenet group, before i eventually stumbled across hourglass2.. during those days, there was a poster who went by the name "prominent bethelite," an otherwise anonymous individual whom i remember most for an extensive, exhaustive compilation of date-oriented remarks, predictions, and expectations by the watchtower organization down through the decades of its history.. it became known as "the list" and it's definitely lengthy... but a fascination look at the abundance of errant statements made through the watchtower's history.. if you're curious, it's been available for a long time on hourglass2's site, and can be seen using the link provided below.. the list, compiled by prominent bethelite (1999).
that's about it for this stop through here.
Hello Morloc, I wanted to say hi, before you go into this year's hibernation.
It really is a pleasure to meet you.
Night, night.

five events to come and to watch for:.
1 world leaders say peace and security!
- they "say" this but may not fully "achieve" this.
Waiting4TheKingdom... Careful with your posts. You likely only have 4 more until your 24 hours is over and you can start with another 10.
Are you counting your time on us?
Do you know how tolerant and polite normal people are to put up with WT rantings?
Knock, knock, knock. Ringing door bell. Dog barking . Saturday AM couple are in bed after having an active week at work, and you decide this is their moment to wake up and listen to you telling them the sky is falling, the sky is falling? Be scared. The Big "A" is right around the corner?
Get an education. Learn about life.
The 7 creative days are screwed up. The worldwide flood is a fairy tale.
There are no demonizes .
Have a happy day.
Best regards,
LoisLane
my mom was worrying out loud, about inviting the "public" to this event.
she told me they were announcing that people were not booking their hotels fast enough, and "we don't want to make the jw's look bad!
she told me about a promotional video they all watched, full of propaganda about the ford field house and all the arrangements that had been made for transportation and parking, and the city of detroit.
Anyone can go in. Anyone.
When they talk about being a "delegate" to an International Convention, they are talking about planning this a year ago, to state what foreign country you want to go to, etc. Some in the USA mainland applied last year to be International Delegates to Hawaii. Too many wanted to go so the overflow group, are invited to, I believe Detroit or maybe it was to Atlanta, or Houston, Texas.
Those who applied to be Int'l delegates, representing WT, had to meet a strict criteria. But if you were accepted, and paid the price, you don't have to bring your lunch. They will provide a brown bag lunch for you. They will also pick you up at your hotel by bus and will return you to your hotel at the end of the day.

she said, "so, what made you decide to study this book?
at this point, she opened with a prayer.
"...and some decide that such questions are best left to religious leaders and teachers.
Faithful Witness... Yes. We know you will not be progressing, but that is not the point, or how your "studies" will possibly be presented on a circuit assembly or District Convention, program.
Like Blondie ^^^ noted in the above about her hubby's study.
JW's are scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to "great" " encouraging " experiences.
I have no doubt but your pioneer "Lady" who "studies" with you is at least thinking about submitting "her" experience to her circuit overseer.
The spin will be on however the circuit overseer and the still in District Overseer want to play it to the clapclapclapclapclapclap etc. drone crowd.
Unbeknowst to you, your "study" with Miss K could be one of the highlighted experiences at the DC. lol
It is however the CO and DO want it.

Faithful Witness... How soon is the Detroit convention? I am surprised Miss K hasn't given you your very own personal invitation. ( lol )
As regards Miss K having a Bible study outside of her congregations boundaries, ah, I don't know how she and her Circuit Overseer will swing her possibly forthcoming interview at the next circuit assembly, with you, not living in her congp .
If her CO is used to using her as the model pioneer in the circuit, they will swing something. Miss K would not want you in the audience though, because between her and the CO they will rewrite history to help cheer on the WT drone troops.
-----> Do you think it is possible, Miss K is already lined up to give her "experience" with you at the Detroit District Convention? and ? ??
It is possible.
In that case she definately would not want you there to hear how she has used WT Bible aids to teach you the Bible.

up until 5 years ago, the co used to work up their own parts for specfic congregations in their circuits.
everything is up to script, in other words, every co in the country are givings the same talks in the local congregations they visit.
what got me to cringe is when he said at the meeting, trying to encourage everyone to pioneer this august; he said :" you know this october it will be 100 years since gods kingdom began ruling, remember what happen when joshua told the israelites to march around jericho on the seventh day, and what happened when they let out a great war cry?
Designs... lol

"August 2014 Tract title: Where Can We Find Answers to Life's Big Questions?
August has 5 weekends, so this would be a fine month to aux pio ."
-----> What age group, background, is WT/GB/Writing Dept/Legal Dept. targeting ?
12 year olds?
This tract, that question, coming from 7 Baboons/GB in Brooklyn, that live in an isolated compound, where, who they are and what they say, are admired like Kings.
They are dictators who have made their subjects dumb downed slaves.
LL
where do they come up with this stuff?.
this is a topic on 'the other site'.
i actually called our bethel ny branch and talked to a brother on the writing committee, at writing correspondence.

this here is very educational.. http://www.funtrivia.com/tournament/jwd-trivia-quiz-75350.html.
come on, y'all.. sylvia.
Rip... That's a good one!
I guess you posted, while I was still munching, on my mornings, toast.
I was thinking of last nights party, about that sinister looking man,
You know, the dark haired one, who said he just flew in, all the way from Japan.
It turned out, as he stood alone by the banister, removing his wet shoes and hat,
That he was a fellow barrister, miserably disguised, as a drowned rat.
Shoot, to us he looked a hoot.
We almost gave him the boot.

shy guy try (I am not in the advanced word category, like you guys are, yet. lol )
If I upset your cart, you can call me a tart, but I have a heart, so please don't call me the stinky "F" word. Thanx
