l sat in church on sunday listening to this sermon by ray , one of our lay readers , thinking " l wish that the good folk on jwn could hear this , they might be quite surprised " then l thought " why not share it ?
mark 13:1-13.
" l wonder what you make of this reading from mark .
The scientists who warn us of the dangers of climate change . The environmentalists who tell of the pollution of our oceans by plastic . The horticulturists who report a decline in insects due to the use of pesticides . Perhaps it is these people who are the true prophets today rather than the ' religious folk ' They are more in keeping with the examples of prophets in the Old Testament .
Ahmen!
currently, to create one new jehovah's witness convert?.
Also factor stuff from my experience as a Pio when it was 90hrs a month.
How much of that time was spent, BSing in the car with my other young guy Pios.
How much was driving to a RV knowing they wont be home on one side of town, to then go to another RV on the other side of town you also know isnt gonna be home.
How much of that is from sitting in coffee shops for an hr but taking off 15 min instead of all the time.
So 2 billion hours preaching. Yea funny:)
currently, to create one new jehovah's witness convert?.
7,198 hours per convert based on 2017 numbers.
So if you pioneer for 11 years, you might get one.
2,046,000,202 / 284,212
i believe that before an active jw will care about all of the incorrect claims and prophecies made by the organization, they first must be shown how the society claims to be speaking directly for god, and revealing truth from god.
once this can be established, showing them all of the incorrect predictions and changes of doctrine can have an effect (does jehovah make mistakes?
how can they be speaking for jehovah if they were wrong?
Wait! I thought I was the only one God talked to?
is your bible free of bias?william d. barrick, professor of old testament wrote in 2001: “biblically based theology has no choice but to be wedded to bible translation.
one’s theology is heavily dependent upon one’s understanding of scripture in translation, whether it is one’s own or that of a published version.
on the other side of the coin, bible translation is inextricably linked with theology.
Can any bible be free of bias?
Impossible I think.
since the hbo documentary, more people are condemning mj.
will these child abuse allegations affect you if you ever liked his music?.
I don't know - he is dead, money doesn't go in his pocket, and I love so many of his songs.

Thanks! I just donated 100,000 $ to the World Wide work!
I think the GB for giving us this wonderful tool to deplete our bank accounts for them!
Dude who is Petra? That pic is hot:)
i have not seen jehovah’s witnesses in my neighborhood for several years now.
it appears that the cart witnessing has taken over.
congregations are being consolidated and witnesses are being forced to travel a greater distance than before.the burdens/privileges of elders seem to be ever increasing!.
JaniceA - thats was awesome!
i used a public washroom in a grocery store.
in the stall, someone left a tract on the baby changer.
my first thought was to trash it, instead i wrote cult on it and jwfacts.com on it.
I put JW Literature in the TRASH wherever I see it.
Just did it at our local library.
