just borrowed a wtcd from a friend................ i carn't believe a "non" profit organisation can do this or rather put restrictions on the the coping of the wt cdrom.
isn't there literature distributed free?
then why is make the copying of the wt library for the benefit of declaring the "truth" wrong!
How would they know if you typed a post out from an actual hard copy or copied and pasted off the CD?
Probably by the changes thay make between hard copy and the CD.

1. a pretty london girl invites you up the apples and pears what do you do?
a) immediately accept - it's the best offer you've had in ages.
If you answered mostly c) you are obviously in need of serious help, although your answer to the Gareth Gates question was perfectly acceptable.
Oh Dear, I think I have problems.
p.s. Who or what is Gareth Gates?
so...even before i left my parents arranged with the mother of my kids to fly her up and back and didn't tell me.
i am about to blow my stack and am not very happy after getting off the phone.
gadget was nice enough to let me use the phone to call them and let them know i loved them and missed them.
Travis my man,

Now giggle (in joke).
Enjoy your vacation, there is nothing much you can do from here, then, when you get home, you will be relaxed and thinking, so as to deal with the situation in the appropriate manner, and only you can decide what that may be.
Enjoy the UK, fix things when you get home.

Sheep close to the house..............field service...................a clue there perhaps?
my mom told me yesterday that my friend (while growing up) who is an elder again, (after years of mental problems), came to her house and inquired as to how my family and i are doing.
he said we have become a subject of conversation at a recent get together..... of course, my mother started crying, told him to ask me himself and told him she did not wish to talk about this subject since it severely depresses her.
he backed off but shortly asked again.
Personally I go with Mulan,
It might have gone differently than you think. He may sincerely want to know why everyone is leaving.
A few years ago an old JW friend showed up on our doorstep and said "I want to know what you know. You wouldn't have left without knowing something". We were cautious, but ended up telling her quite a lot, and she left too.
So, you just never know.
It may hurt now to tell ones real reasons for leaving, but the sacrifice surely HAS to be worth it if it spreads the truth behind the 'TRUTH'(tm)?
The more people who learn the truth, the more people out and the faster the org goes down.
clearly, there is every earmark of financial worries within the watchtower society.. even governing body members have expressed concern about falling contribution levels.
within congregations.
yet, for the faithful, the answer is simple: wait on jehovah.. .
I am sure they aren't worrying about money.Oh yes? You're really sure, are you? Hmm, if so, why do they talk about it so often, and ask for it so regularly?
If not shortage of money, then it can only be greed.
"today we likewise do not use fear or simular negative emotions, such as shame, to coerce others into obeying christ.
only whole souled obedience based on love for god and christ makes jehovahs heart rejoyce.".
so if you feel half-a* about door knocking stay home..
Are they trying to appear mainstream?
