When I was an elder, I remember there was an envelope for every person who was disfellowshipped. About 15 to 20 envelopes existed, some already from years ago.

How many disfellowshipped ones are there in your cong?
by Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu inin the congregation that i used to go to, there were a lot of disfellowshipped ones that were once part of the cong.
also, a lot of witnesses here have family members that are disfellowshipped.
one family has a daughter that the family has been shunning for decades now.

So many things that I just discoved about the Bible.
So from the book My book of Bible stories, we all know how little Moses was saved from a cruel Pharaoh. Of course the king of Egypt was afraid that those cute little babies would endanger his empire eventually. He was worshipping pagan gods, so what would you expect?
But since Moses was raised in Pharaoh's house, surely that cruel thinking had an influence on him. Or would Gods holy spirit protect him?
Now the man Moses was by far the meekest of all the men on the face of the earth. -Num 12:3
Was he really that meek?
Now you should kill every male among the children and kill every woman who has had sexual relations with a man. But you may keep alive all the young girls who have not had sexual relations with a man. Num 31:17,18
That is what Moses did to the Midianites. Even all the baby boys were to be killed, not the female babies.
As a witness I read the Bible several times, how could I be so blind?

Birth Control to be banned?
by stuckinarut2 inok, so the title is just an idea the society / gb could adopt.. clearly there is very little growth from outsiders coming into the organization.
the only real growth is coming from children being born into the faith.. the broadcasts, and the stuff on the official website for children gives proof of the manipulative techniques the gb is using by way of propaganda on these born in young ones.. so, it is not a huge leap to suggest that if the society wants to maintain growth, then they have to encourage witness couples to keep popping out offspring!.
no birth control perhaps?

On your first question: He just seems to be plain stupid! I'm afraid how his policies will work out for the climate and international relationships. Just happy i'm not living in the States and have a good health insurance in my country.

Just curious!

by redpilltwice in23 days ago, zeb posted this familiar but ever intriguing thread regarding 1914, the mother of all topics.. put youir [sic] thinking caps on.zeb 23 days ago this was sent to me from doug shields blog.
for those who like stats and numbers may find this of interest.1914 – recognizing the ”the elephant in the room”.
the problem with the date ”1914 ad” lays with the two calendars that are involved – jewish and gregorian.

A Jewish year had 12 months of 30 days, however sometimes an 13th month (Ve-adar) was added to make up for the difference with the solar year. So in the end it was almost the same year as we have now.

They already introduced the idea of a "governing body" in the outline of the Book of Acts (how clever!)
