jehovah’s witnesses boost pidgin language devt.
ota—the advancement of pidgin english received a boost recently at ota, ogun state at the nigerian pigdin convention series of jehovah’s witnesses which held from december 20 to 23, 2018.. this was the seventeenth in the series of the 2018 “be courageous!” regional convention of jehovah’s witnesses .
recently there are clear indications that jehovah’s witnesses are seriously using pidgin as tool to reach the heart and they have risen beyond the general stereotypical description of it as ‘pidgin english’ or ‘broken english.
“Jehovah’s organisation is spirit directed,..."
Since when?
sorry for my poor english, i hope to make not too many mistakes.

i'm not sure how best to ask this question because of my personal experience-- long story short, i was discovered through informal witnessing back in college.
i was lonely, away from family, and was touched by the attention and care that was shown to me.
during the course of many years i became very very close with the sister conducting the study even though we were thousands of miles away.

jehovah's witnesses... who sent the star of bethlehem?.
the watchtower teach their followers that the star of bethlehem was sent by non other than satan... however as we take a look at the scriptures by comparing spiritual things with spiritual we begin to see that the star of bethlehem was not sent by satan, but used for the glory of god.a seasonal message to end the year.. watch now here :.

Della - "Everything with them is so dark and depressing and desperate" - yup used to call them the "Doom and Gloom folks"
Even my JW mother would get fed up on occasion and would say to my dad, 'must you always talk about such depressing things?'
alright, so what is the deal with the thousands coming to the states right at election time seeking asylum?
i'm not up on this, usually try not to be, but how can this not be manipulative?
it's either manipulative in the size of the group and pressure that creates, or in where it started or who started this, etc.
Trudeau seems eager to invite Islamists over to Canada so keep an eye to the north as well until we get rid of him.
Right you are Simon - that fool is putting Canada on a dangerous path. We need him gone asap
this is such an important issue, more and more people are succumbing to what must be some viral outbreak wreaking havoc in the world.. i'm talking about unnecessary punctuation.. it's easy to become infected.
you want to write something and add some emphasis so you add an exclamation mark to make it "important!
" but dang, it's not important enough is it??
