much of the article is the usual thoughtless mush that we have come to expect these days.
the rank and file bros. are urged to reach out to train the new ones... .
One the first things i saw when I started realizing that the WT is full of nonsense is the fact that they claim that they are all about the bible yet, they have gazillions of publications to explain, interpret and allegedly facilitate its understanding.
I for once, started preaching at a very young age, as a child, and I remember leaving in people's hands lots and lots of WT publications, but can't remember once leaving a single bible to anyone.
seriously, you can't make this shit up.
and these same people will accuse hillary of rigging the election after she wins:.

Please, not all that consider voting for Trump are "misogynists, stupid or dumb".
Worse that that because those choose to vote for a misogynists, stupid and dumb, even though they know better.

So some things and some people haven't changed. The funny thing is that the JW bitch thinks of herself as a loving nice Christian, deserving of her Jehovah's favor. How disgusting.
hi all, just recently i was thinking about the period of my study and eventual baptism as jw.
it took many years, i guess in all about 10 years.
various times i stopped the study but after a while it started again.
So my question is: would anyone become a baptized JW when he/she only uses another bible, not the NWT?
Possible but doubt it.
In other words, if I would have continued to use my own bible, would I ever feel the need to become a baptized JW?
I don't see how using a different bible may affect your decision. I personally don't see a correlation between one thing and the other.
when online looking at the recent wt there was a link to this..https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/are-there-contradictions-in-the-bible/.
here are the "big" ones they disproved - though not really:).
if god rested on the seventh day, how has he continued working?where did jesus heal the blind man?will the earth be destroyed?in capernaum, who brought the centurion’s request to jesus?do we all sin?is jesus equal to god or lesser than god?.
A millenniums old book in inaccurate languages, written when mankind was the most naive about its surroundings, written by different people in different periods in different languages, and written in parables, visions and dreams. Sure, I can see how its content will be so accurate (I'm being sarcastic just in case).
seriously, you can't make this shit up.

keyser soze, how about this one:
My favorite of that Trump supporter is that she claims that Michelle Obama is a transsexual, Trump supporters are nut jobs.
bob dylan has been awarded the nobel prize in literature.
i wonder if they'll let him sing at the ceremony.

Actually, I don't see why a song or poem cannot be Nobel prize worthy. He's not the first person known primarily as a musician to win the prize in literature for poetic expression. In 1901 Sully Prudhomme won the prize for his poetic expression, in 1913 Rabindranath Tagore won for his poetic expression in music and in 2004 Elfriede Jelinek also won the prize.
opening prayer: (lett) dear heavenly father jehovah god please bless this meeting with your loving direction, in jesus' name amen.. morris the turd: well brothers we have a problem - 99% of the worldwide work figures are in; and those lazy slackers in the field have come up short so what are we going to do?.
sam turd err ... herd: get the circuit overseers off their behinds to tell the secretaries to phone every non-reporter and inactive publisher and "remind" them that they "must have" done some preaching in the last six months and offer them the "fifteen minute" option.. david ex-splane: and if that doesn't work let's introduce some overlapping figures from last year; it worked on the generation chart that i explained so well!
kenneth "give us our daily bread" flodin said so!.
Sounds accurate.
popping in to say hi.... been away from the forum for a long time.... had some serious health issues starting at the beginning of this year.
on the mend now, and getting back into the swing of things.... great to be alive!.
Welcome (back?). I don't think I have met you. Please see my posts and replies to get a feel of my stance.
i always found it interesting that one could appeal a disfellowshipping....if jehovah doesn't make mistakes, then there wouldnt be a need to "appeal" anything to begin with right?.
I think that the policy of appealing may be some kind of legal thing to cover their butts.
One of my sisters got Dfed and she wanted to appeal because she was interested in maintaining some sort of relationship with our family. I don't think that's the case now, though.
I illustrated to her what being disfellowhipped means to me by showing her an episode of the Golden girls where one of them got kicked out of an unauthorized "Hunk-a Hunk-a Burnin' Love" Elvis Presley fan club, after making fun of them worshiping a partially eaten pork chop that Elvis Presley ate. They were admiring his teeth marks.
She said, sarcastically "I've just been thrown out of an unauthorized Elvis fan club. I'll try to pick up the pieces and go on with my life. There must be a support group for people like me." That's how I feel. The WT organization to me makes as much sense as a group that worships a partially eaten pork chop. Getting kicked out of it is a batch of honor to me. I want to be rejected by them.
