does anyone remember around the tear 2000, maybe just before or after, there was a leaflet released at the summer convention aimed at teenagers called something like, "planning for a worthwhile future"?
basically it argued that you shouldn't go to college or university and put your trust in "the world".
instead you should trust in jehovah, pioneer and reach out for bethel or missionary service.
Notice the badly photo shopped head of the dark haired boy on the top right? If you have the original print version you'll notice that he was replaced . . .
So here's the deal. When you are used in a photograph or video, they keep tabs on you. If you're DF'ed, DA'd, or otherwise not in good standing, they find out. When they do a re-print of that particular publication or update a particular video, they take out that person and use someone else.
congregations get an annual letter that tells what can be ordered for literature (it's mainly a list of audio cds/dvds for the deaf), but this time it included publications that will be discontinued, and this included the isaiah's prophecy book and the reasoning book, and i think i saw the draw close to jehovah book.
i meant to take a picture of the letter but forgot.
the branch is only going to give what they have on stock, when that stock depletes that's it, you won't be able to order those publications anymore.. this is in canada so i don't know if this is worldwide..

Oub: I was at Bethel during that time frame. Basically, black brothers could shave their head.
White brothers could not do it unless they were already balding.
I have no idea if that's changed at all.
so today i did it.
i cut my dish network programming to basic....$20 a month ty very much.
instead i have $60 streaming device that gives me everything i need.
this is not an attempt to 'straightjacket' anyone into a fixed interpretative perspective.
so set your mind free and see satan and his demons if you reallynwant to adopt a possible jw perspective.
or, just sit back and watch the show and the trick affects if you want.. or like the uk guardian you could see the movie in terms of dysfunction (personal and family).. quote: the original movies were always based on the most extraordinary nexus of personal and family dysfunction: a motor of guilt, shame and conflict.
Star Wars is quite literally children's entertainment. It's all just stuff cribbed from the old Flash Gordon serials mixed with a dash of Kurosawa (and a hint of John Ford). Don't think too deeply about it.
not really.
i just wanted to post this because it's funny.. .

a friend asked me if a man can be appointed a ms if he has an inactive (inactive for 15-20 years) baptized adult child living in his home.
the child lives by the rules and doesn't do anything wrong (jw-wise), as i am told.
i know the child (adult) and is a good kid as far as i know.
If a brother has a DFed wife, that won't stop an appointment because it's your wife. You can't divorce her or otherwise kick her out.
It's been heavily implied in the WT that if you have adult children living at home they better be baptized and in good standing, otherwise they should be kicked out.
be strong:.
(hope this works ok).

hopefully, some jws will read this, and question how the wt is getting all this money, and question where is it really going?.
yeah i saw this show up in my twitter feed. Hopefully this will cause some to think about things.
also, is the 1 billion just for the remaining properties or does that include all the stuff that's already been sold too like Furman st.
it's a 2014 movie and i'm only watching it now.
it reminds me strongly of the life of jws and ex-jws..
