  You can bet it will be dreary with terrible harmonics. If perchance it is somewhat good it will be rewritten

  Disaster preparedness

  by ElderBerry in

  2. experiences

  as your family considers its disaster preparedness plan, please ensure that the secretary has up-to-date contact information for you and your emergency contact.

  also, we have re- peatedly seen good results when brothers and sisters are prepared with go bags and are ready to obey direction when they face various kinds of disasters.

  please be sure you have a go bag, and review its contents at least once a year.

  The guides are copied from government disaster preparedness sites. The places to go are gpvernment(UN) camps. Private homes are coerced from some witnesses-no money from the WT

  The need to track is to prevent fading; claiming to be a witness for advantage (charity is for believers only) or promoting yourself as an elder or such.

  Do JWs Really Say This?

  by NotFormer in

  2. beliefs

  i stumbled, via a google search, upon a part of jw space that is usually heavily defended against outsiders like my good self.

  in a discussion, someone started their post with "i (started doing x)... when the slave began to suggest doing so"*.

  do pimis really talk that way?

  All the time. Take your choice; evil slave or slave master.

  "Everyone Wants To Leave"

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a thread about steve hassan re-emerged and got me looking him up.

  his wikipedia entry had a point under "criticism" that there is an underlying assumption in his approach that all members of high control groups ultimately want to leave*.. while it is generally believed that there are a lot of pimos still attending, doing field service and giving lip service to the wt, i doubt that everyone within the congregations want to get out.

  it's not always internally and logically consistent, but it's been around long enough for enough workarounds to make it tolerable to emerge.. what do you think?

  Everyone wishes it was true. Some still hold onto the hope, usually because of old age.

  I think I know what the GB is doing

  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?

  If anyone knows tell them.

  As for evil, the composite slave is culpable from day one. All of them.

  How many different "rules" do Jehovah's Witnesses have to obey? Can you count them?

  by Balaamsass2 in

  2. beliefs

  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!!

  The epicenter of Friday’s metro-area quake was around Watchtower's former Mountain Farm in Lebanon, NJ

  '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.”.

  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.

  The TWO new things to come this year for J.W Org !

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  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.
