Wow couldn't believe when I heard the line: "you deserve better than that"
I somehow doubt we will be hearing that one from the platform any time soon - since when did a JDUB deserve anything?

it's difficult to imagine how this video could be more disingenuous and hypocritical.

DVD at elders meeting during circuit visit
by Saltheart Foamfollower inhas anyone had a circuit visit this week and seen the dvd for elders/mss?
i'm guessing it's got an introduction from one of the gb and then demonstrations of how to behave in different situations.
i'd like to be prepared before seeing it to ask suitable questions.. the (not so) pure one.

We always went down the pub after the elder's meeting, so my wife thought the meetings were much longer than they actually were.
No - they didn't go to the pub here I'm certain

Well it must be a really long DVD presentation, or at least the meeting and discussion around it. The Ministerial Servants only got half an hour and were out the door by 7pm, but the Elders apparently didn't get out while 10pm, so it was a 3 hour meeting for them! Must be something juicy.

Do you make your own soup?
by compound complex ingreetings, soup lovers:.
i have a huge kitchen at my disposal (not my own); vegetables, cans of this and that and spices are scattered about, prepared to go into a cauldron of minestrone i started a few days ago.
i'm preparing ahead so as to freeze the leftovers to heat up later at home over my hotplate.. nothing like a 6-burner gas range to simmer over!.

I've become a big fan of making my own butternut squash soup - it's pretty easy and you get so much out of it so it's good value. And you can spice it up too and give it a bit of kick!

Thanks Blondie for the quotes there. But surely that confirms what I was saying that in the past they have always consistently put the "marriage of the lamb" before Armageddon? It does come "soon after" the destruction of "Babylon the Great" which marks the start of the "Great Tribulation" but as far as I had read, Armageddon being the culmination/conclusion/climax of the "Great Tribulation", the "marriage of the lamb" happens somewhere in the middle there, but "soon after" Babylon the Great is destroyed, at least.
Contrary to what the 1998 Watchtower (and 1990 Watchtower it references) where they could "not say exactly" when the marriage would happen, with the new light in the Watchtower this week they are now nailing it down to be after Armageddon. So with Armageddon being the culmination/climax of the Great Tribulation, the "marriage of the lamb" coming even after the Great Tribulation in a way? Is it "new light" or are they just trying to see what they can slip past people?

Just another observation (not that I really care much) - did anyone catch at the end of paragraph 17 that they put the "marriage of the lamb" to be "shortly after the battle of Armageddon".
As far as I know, the "marriage of the lamb" has always been before Armageddon (see the Revelation book?), and this wasn't highlighted as being "new light". Would there not need to be some scriptural gymnastics to put the marriage after Armageddon? Has this been explained before? Surely not a mistake... haha!

Really hope that we get a PC version - I'm guessing they're delaying it to boost PS3 and XBOX 360 version sales.
