a few words like the above pronounced at the beginning of the study would be far more beneficial than to occupy the same time in singing songs, which often express much that is out of harmony with the truth of and concerning god's kingdom.watchtower/1938/may/1st/pg.139 .
back then, they had what was called: order of study, and this is what every overseer was instructed to say to the audience.. .
Singers in sign language congregations can be outstanding but... you never hear them because they sign the songs.
We used to have a very active sign language group but usually everyone in attendance were able to hear just fine. It was very interesting watching them sign the songs. Made you want to join in. Actually it was the most interesting part of the meeting.

Pioneering can mean - singles club.
Pioneering can mean - social life.
Pioneering can mean - get it announced you are pioneering, then you go sick for the month. There might be so many pioneers this year, the stats for Covid could spike.
Pioneering can mean - lying about your hours and searing your conscience.
Pioneering can be a step on the road to becoming a palace helper. Or at least driving a digger and taking rubbish out or marrying someone who drives a digger or someone who can take the rubbish out.
Pioneering is a stupid waste of time. But WT manage to get you to count all the time you waste for them.

Reports are coming out that Pfizer has secretly added a drug that affect the heart into its vaccine. The drug is safe if it goes into the vein but causes damage if it goes into tissue.
Maybe this explains why a number of top athletes are developing heart problems and some of them are dying.
However other articles are coming out on academic sites saying you can expect an increase in heart conditions because of... climate change.
i ask this now because i have been living in this town for the past 14 years and the circle of friends i have now i have never let on i am an ex jw.. i`m talking about 30-50 people at least.. not that the subject has ever really come up , but i think they would be shocked / amazed that i was a ( i hate this word ) a "devout" jw for 32 years going around knocking on peoples doors trying to convert them to the religion .. yet every now and again i get tempted to.. how say you ?.
It depends how you tell people but once they understand you are not a cult member people enjoy hearing about what exactly went on.
It usually a saucer-eyes and gaping mouth response.
...why have you left the god and his son?.
LV101 and waton - glad you enjoyed the video.
...why have you left the god and his son?.
JoenB75 - I'll leave the conversation there.
Punk - yes we make our own choices and stand or fall by them.
if you are a jw you think god is punishing watchtower?
after watchtower got banned in russia and buildings seized, lot's jws said russia would be punished.
org kept losing in court with child abuse cases.
They write to me. They wont speak to me but they write to me. Then if I go and knock on their door to thank them for their letter... guess what, they close the door in my face.
I ask myself what Jesus would do.
