ok, it's time.
we've had opportunity to observe the 8 gb members speaking ability.
now it's our turn to give our honest ratings...using their own form, of course!
1 Timothy 4:15
Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.
Paulus is talking about public reading (platform)
There's no scores here. Either you are progressing and it's clear to everyone.
Or you are not.
GB maybe are good at preaching work
When it come to platform BIG mistake having GB members on broadcasting or travelling giving talks.
Cause that they are never progressing in the platform is clear to earth and heaven's.

for the past few years all my comments and talks have been a purely christian message.
i tiptoe around wt dogma and focus on the basics of love, life compassion, etc.
and i deliberately do not use jw terminology whenever i can.
Should have asked them why Bible talks about sins of David and all the other Bible person.
one poster here mentioned how, after he was appointed as an elder, things took on a more "corporate" feel.
i was an ms and as such went, dutifully, to the bi-annual meetings with the co. i was sorely disappointed.
i had imagined sort of a round-table discussion of trends and potential difficulties in the congregation, along with a coordinated effort to help people out.
Think they thought it was only the preaching work that was important.back in the days of Rutherford. It's to late now for them to change things. They probably gonna convert everything to online religion. The only thing they still gonna put any effort on will be the preaching, that they think it's what workt out for them.

First of all if publisher starts improving he gets shut down by elder that are jealous of them. They usually want rutin and publisher not to improve to not shake things up. Plus they think it makes them look bad if someone that is not appointed make improvements. You have almost be a CO to make improvements in the platform and be left alone. They took a good decision shutting down the school. The quality of that arrangement is more a embarrassment the anything else. But that goes back to the ,40s when it started. If the organization didn't use God's name I would see it more like a comedy club.
he hasn't been in the limelight before, so here's his debut:.

A least he seems to be sound of mind and sticks to Bible and not how tight pants should be.
last week in the sunday meeting a sister made a comment and collapsed, a massive heart attack.
one of the young brothers is a fireman and he gave her mouth mouth and according to the doctor this saved her life.
so if she had missed the meeting that day she would have surly died because her husband is not in great health.
There's another part to not forsaking to gather. not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
There's not much encourage in today's cold and boring gatherings. AKA kingdom halls meeting. First Christians would gather in houses.Eat and drink together. Sing phsalms. I see quoting Bible online as a gathering also.
hey guys, i'm working on a paper about exploitation amongst jehovah's witnesses ( i'm also preparing a book about jehovah's witnesses and interaction ritual theory, and another paper about jehovah's witnesses and discrimination against women).
i'm trying to calculate as exact figures as i can concerning how much bethelites are paid.
does anyone know the monthly stipend as of now?
in perth western australia the watchtower have sold a kingom hall to hindus for $2 million aust dollars and they have a second one up for sale in the same area embleton .
In old Jerusalem the tempel were build with gold and precious stones. Crystals and gold are spiritual stones. When person enters the tempel right there he's in a more accepting mood for spiritual teachings. Old Jerusalem is the base how the 1000 years gonna be. There are not gonna be any kingdom halls made of cement there.
move forward as a spiritual person.. paragraph 2 "robert and his wife began passing time by quizzing each other on bible subjects.
his wife, a spiritually strong person, had no problem answering the questions, but robert found himself constantly embarrassed, not knowing what to say.".
there is no indication of how she fits the template of a spiritual person other than she can answer bible trivia.
I thought being spiritual was showing fruits of the spirit. I give her praise for quoting Bible text if we live still in time's of Jesus using the scrolls. But now you can just get Bible verses using an app.
