Mail a letter on the way to the meeting for service to "start" the time. Leave a tract with a street beggar then drive a long distance. One elduh was famous for needing to stop at home for supplies, take a work call, buying gas; meanwhile I wanted to get out and done. The best was two going on a study whilst I waited in the car napping or conversing about hobbies.

I am sure every minute doing meeting parts is counted.

There are those who still think it is a life saving work. They never consider they use the least effective approach at the least effective times.

An interesting Observation of some Bibles

by Blotty in

first of all, hi, i go by blotty on this website :) i am someone who has a passion for the bible and like to get a as balanced view as i can from the trinitarian and the jw (or unitarian) side - even though i come off as leaning towards one or the other at times, in my opinion they both have merits in certain cases..if this is in the wrong section i apologise - this is just something i found interesting.iv seen online a lot that say the watchtower and tract society "invented" the link between proverbs 8:22 - 30 and jesus (the word).

yet interestingly some "mainstream" "trinitarian- aimed" translations are cross referencing the following:source:https://www.biblegateway.comprov 8:22 cr rev 3:14niv, gnt,esv, nasb, nasb1995, nasbre, cevprov 8:30 cr john 1:1,2 esv nasbprov 8:30 cr john 1:3esvnasb1995nasb(this list is by no means complete)if this is simply wisdom, why is it referenced with jesus (or the word)?.

Witnesses borrow all their beliefs. Maybe the lone exception would be overlapping generations

" babies are born with inherited love"--"bsbies do not have love"

3 day man hunt, bag of potato chips, so many tidbits. All true.

I really wish I could sit and watch these with friends.

honest hearted people could laugh at themselves but are too stiff to do so

Newtons prediction for end of the world

by dothemath in

maybe this man (sir isaac newton), has more credibility than fred franz in picking a date for armageddon ?.

interestingly, newton(brilliant mathematician, everyone must know him) was very interested in the bible and revelation .. .

what newton tried to do was determine a particular timescale for the apocalypse.

I'll be 112 so will probably not see it.

AND. A day for a year and 1260 days came directly from jehovah throughthe GB so nobody else could know of it. OR there is plagiarism afoot.

Missing Monthly Broadcast - May 2015

by Listener in

youtuber millstone research has done a video on the fact that the may 2015 monthly broadcast is no longer on jw org.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/categories/studiomonthlyprograms.

the broadcast was presented by lett who mentions he had the backing of the other gb members regarding his comments.. the broadcast is basically about soliciting jws for funds as well as other 'valuable things' for the organisation.

this is the one where he claims that the money flowing out was more than the money flowing in.

The locals just made a big contribution to keep the local cash on hand under the limit. No mention of needing maintenance in the near future. Always a one way street

I may reduce the amount my wife donates--all local.
