If anyone knows tell them.
As for evil, the composite slave is culpable from day one. All of them.
read:.
but if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘my master is delaying,’b 49 and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards.
hmm... let's see is anyone on the governing body a strict master and a drunkard?

all the big changes for jws since this last fall brought me back to this site, and got me and the wife talking.
just how many things were we not allowed to do growing up as jehovah's witnesses?
we were so used to all the rules, customs, and traditions, that we became used to them.. one site i found claims there are 141 unique rules!!
ONE rule: they make the rules. And you know who they is
'the epicenter of friday’s metro-area quake was around the sleepy, tiny, agricultural town of lebanon, nj — where the temblor sent residents running home from work to check their houses and loved ones.. the us geological survey confirmed that the rare historic 4.8 earthquake struck around 10.23 a.m. near the small borough in hunterdon county — just a stone’s throw from donald trump’s national golf club in bedminster, where a 2.0 magnitude aftershock was felt shortly after.. the incident caused buildings to shake everywhere from the big apple to pennsylvania, connecticut and delaware.. “i was working from my home office in town, and everything started falling off the shelves,” lebanon mayor james pittinger told the post.
“i felt a shake like i’ve never felt in the 30 years i’ve lived here.. “it was one of the craziest things i’ve ever experienced.”.

y'all i am an unmedicated bipolar.
i had a mania streak and slept with my bf who is of the world.
i am pregnant from this.
Test case for the new light. My bet is the old dark clouds are still present blocking it.
The natural progression is moving into marriage.
Knowing a health problem is over half the battle.
while having my first strong black coffee of the day, i was thinking about what may be to come next as the org.
rapidly goes mainstream, and this is what i came up with :.
1) they will introduce for sunday, the after meeting fellowship, a time for just chatting but with the added bonus of coffee and snacks.
Closest is the hospitality for the speaker mess.
Kingdom halls don't have a kitchen or even an extra room either. Add in the need to vacate for the next Bunch. The bookstudy used to have enjoyable after meeting snacks. The McD after service has fallen off too.
I got a nose ring years ago.---still married
i think the gb needs to expand publishers' volunteer activities beyond door knocking.. gb has shifted away from door-knocking to more varied forms of witnessing and no longer counting time for publishers.
my prediction is that the gb will start encouraging jws to participate in broader community volunteer efforts: clean-up drives, food banks, senior citizen support, and other non-proselytizing activities.
this move could help them gain goodwill with government agencies and the public.. expanding volunteer activities could significantly shift how jws are perceived by the wider community.
Maybe (needed) outreach to elderly members. Other activities open friendship with "worldly(tm)" dangerous people.
let's be honest, there's a stigma to the name jehovah's witness.
if they are going more mainstream.
i imagine the first recommendation was a name change.
"This " didn't offer much, read almost like a whodunit story. Made up.
Drop jehovah and the prayers will not be possible.
I bet on elderettes and meeting format change.
The biggie is still 1914; the story gas to morph
Not to change the subject but there is "a neatly trimmed beard"
there are no serious consequences for doubting the gb.
there are no consequences for going against the direction.
we can now celebrate anything.. what will happen if you take blood, celebrate xmas and birthdays ect?.
Ron. Pretty pointed midweek announcements clothing will not change. That means a poly car salesman suit is ok but not a harris tweed and sweater. Sisters had skirts that nearly dragged the floor.
Other part was to the affect "we are still the elders and run the show" do not do more than mention meeting to a df relative.
Lastly the beards are a disaster. 90% grew one but only 20% know how to trim.
As soon as wife and elderly brother are gone I'm out of here
