  Have You Ever Met...Or KNOW...a GB Member?

  if so, what is your experience?

  i've seen only a few talks by gb members and would like to hear what they're like.

  are they personable, aloof, humble, arrogant?

  yeah barber was absolutely a huge perv like that. i met sydlik once. he was a nice enough guy. i never could get a good read on jaracz. he seemed like hard-ass but from what i've read here, he was apparently one of the more liberal GB members.

  as for some of other questions, here's some random things:

  -when they go to conventions for speaking assignments, odds are they have close friends in that district. this year is a bit different with the international conventions but they probably could request where they wanted to go. if they visit a congregation for a speaking thing, which i'm guessing they do if invited, they typically do go out in service on saturday.

  i know this was noted earlier:.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/266186/3/the-big-announcement-this-week#.uoaoe_yo5dg.

  but it was officially announced today that the school for couples and the school for single brothers were being combined with the new twist that single sisters would be allowed also.

  Watchtower and Women's Rights

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we are in the year 2014, women make up the majority of the jw population, yet are not given certain '''''''privileges''''''' simply because they don't have a penis.

  no talks, no leadership roles or the hope of them...ever, no matter how educated, zealous, or well spoken you are.. with the world moving towards upholiding women's rights do you see this becoming an issue that the watchtower will have to 'adjust it's thinking' on soon?.

  Very Big (and Shocking) Contradiction in the Gospels

  by DeWandelaar in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was visiting a website in order to prove to people that the bible can be seen as a very extremist book.. however... the site also showed some contradictions and although i am aware of most of them i came to one contradiction that was actually very shocking: the part that satan tries to temp jesus christ.

  most of the gospels mention this and the timeframe shows that it happened directly after the baptism of jesus.

  however... look at what happens in john!.

  john's gospel is kinda weird. he doesn't cover a lot of stuff the other 3 mention. at the same time he has stuff in there not in the other 3.

  whatever.

  De: Where does it actually indicate how much time elapsed since the baptism? I just read chapter one and the first part of 2. As mentioned, when the story picks up after the epilogue, Jesus baptism in mentioned in passing as something John did a while ago.

  uhhhh you might want to re-read John 1 and 2. The first part is basically a prologue and then John TALKS about Jesus, whom he previously baptized. The baptism itself is not in John at all. In John1:29, when Jesus talks to him, he had already been baptized.

  i'm sure it's changed a bit but I know some bethelites who would go 90 minutes to 2 hours each way for meetings depending on where they were assigned.

  2. friends

  so another wonderful tract campaign will take place in november.

  cities and towns will be inundated by a cheap bifold about the dead .. but the dubs are warned--if there is a "no trespassing sign" on a property enter at your own risk.

  so says the letter from mother/gb that was read this week at the hall.

  Basically what bugbear said. I wish we had a time machine so I could take anti-medicine people back 100 years and show them what it was like.

  Also, for something recent, check this out http://www.npr.org/2013/09/01/217746942/texas-megachurch-at-center-of-measles-outbreak

  That's basically what would happen EVERYWHERE if people stopped being vaccinated.
