  Children outgrew all their meeting clothes. Being kept up late on school nights. Probably adults too got fatter.

  Shared halls like mine will have to hash out who gets the 3 or 4 o clock time slot. And the perpetual argument over who gets the hall for memorial.

  The governing body is a year late as far as following government guidelines.

  This will also mean door to door is soon coming back complete with crowding into a private home for that mess, with no parking.

  St. George said it, except it is my morning ruined.

  April fools day.🙃

  I know nobody who wants it. There is not enough time to do memorial planning. I hope.

  Will have to wait with baited breath to see if hybrid is allowed.

  Time for C22 or rho / sigma variant?

  No beards...even Jesus! Strange Watchower rule for brothers!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  watchtower 1954 p.511 "why do watchtower publications now show jesus with short hair and no beard?

  because he is shown that way in older representations of him that are older then the traditional effeminate looking pictures.".

  watchtower 1968 p.286 "bible evidence and a recent review shows that jesus did have a beard..." charles russell style of beard was popular at bethel...till rutherford took over.

  All thr time. Demos and "experiences" at store, doctors office, walking dog. World events are supposed to be the catalyst.

  04-2022 Q from Readers on Divorce

  by Rattigan350 in

  any comments on the 04/2022 question from readers on divorce and remarriage.. "if a christian divorces his wife without scriptural grounds and then marries another person, how does the congregation view the previous marriage and the new marriage?".

  why does that even matter how the congregation views anything?

  they should be minding their own business.. if people move to a different area, the congregation wouldn't even know about.. (if a guy remarries a woman with the same first name, she would end up with the same name and no one would know).

  WT divorce mirrors or exceeds the world. The statistic they use is false. A lot of people make a good long marriage, a few cannot make anything work so add in a whole bunch of divorces to the average

  we seemed to have reached peak cancel-culture.

  now, we get to try to cancel the citizens of an entire country for something their government chose to do.. really, we can't allow russian individuals to compete in sports?

  Yep, Olaf would give her 3 minutes of the most fun he ever had.

  As for the pioneer experience. Marriage is a convoluted controlled mess instead of the natural progression it should be.

  The MO is write a letter on the current offer. Use a po box or hall address for safety. No one is allowed to go dorr to door, supposed to be trembling alone at home. Territory is made from public records.

  Wife got one reply in 2 years. Counter preaching from a born againer. Lots of interest in reply from the other people in the hall, they thought she caught a sucker.

  Official narrative is dozens of replies and people flocking in.

  I count my time by perusing this site
