the problem is: "-- in or-- BY-- the armed forces--": commanders have to keep the number of fighters up, so
who wants to see his men in the clinker or against the wall (as in wartime)? fat chance.

July 15, 2011 "MENTALLY DISEASED" Watchtower article regurgitated word-for-word in 2013 Disctrict Covention
by Calebs Airplane indid anyone notice that large portions of the july 15, 2011 mentally diseased article is being read word-for-word in the 2013 disctrict convention symposium talk beware of human apostates?.
if you havent already see this thread which contains an actual recording.... the moron in the recording is actually reading directly from the watchtower article... word-for-word... yet another perfect example of information control found in most destructive cults... .
by the way, did anyone also catch what he said about those who woke up after the 1975 fiasco.

Hard Wood Floors
by MrFreeze indoes anybody have any tips on keeping hard-wood floors clean?
seems like 10 minutes after i clean them they are a mess again.
at least with carpet it was harder to notice all the little doodads that wind up on the floor.

be thankfull for the fact that the dust/debris is visible and not swept under or into the rug, where it has time to mature.
"we" use a silent vaccum to suck it all up, at least once a day where needet.
taking off shoes helps, but unwanted enters through many venues.

dwelling for his name people today?

thank you blondie, I hope comments like yours show the WT writers how inapropriate, farfetched these misapplications of bible stories/fables are for our modern times, or to put it biblically,--for those in the new covenant who have their "sins" forgiven and have god's law( read conscience) IN THEIR HEARTS.

What is your opinion?
by Terry inmatthew 6:14-15new revised standard version (nrsv).
14 for if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you; 15 but if you do not forgive others, neither will your father forgive your trespasses.. .
at least on a superficial interpersonal level the above scripture requires the victim to forgive the offender in order to be forgiven in turn.

ghandi is reported to have said about the "Eye for an Eye" justice: "we will all end up blind". similarly,
applying Math 6: 14,15 literally and liberally will allow us to just go ahead and abuse everyone as we please. for they will have to forgive us.
and of course that is what the power-greedy and uncivilized do with impunity, having found the sheep, the meek.

Why Do Christians today need a "governing body" of elders to be their spiritual "teacher"?
by I_love_Jeff in...........and to provide direction for their lives?.
since the bible reports that jehovah led first-century christians individually through instruction directly from the holy spirit, with no accountability to a "governing body" in jerusalem, why do christians today need a "governing body" of elders?.
here are some examples of non governing body activitiy:.

The good news is that "the end is near" and then they will be gone. in the "upward call".
WT B.S. stated some time back, in the 70s, that the servant/elder arrangement was a temporary measure, to cover imperfection, that will cease in the "new world".
So do more FS to "hasten the day".

Circuit Overseer sign up sheet
by A question ineveryone knows that people sign up to have the co over for lunch wed. through fri. but in your area, did they (even privately, outside of a sign up sheet) also invite him over sometimes for dinner as well, at all?
is this something that varies by co?.

one problem with these schedules is that they are mamaged to have the right people break bread with the brother.
the other is that it is really a feeding, because it is rush off to the service at 13 hrs 15 and the pioneer evening at 19 hundert.
many are good company and travel far as a reward.

billy, without real estate, like the rc church? - they are working on it, mightily through their minnions/masters. make your will.
followers of Christ can do well guided by scripture, spirit, human kindness.
a corporation, mind control org can not!! they have to be governed. pharisee style.
rule by the body of eight.
man can not direct his steps, even less the steps of others.
