i was a reguler pioneer for about 8 yrs, back when it was 100 hours a month, befor thet i did a couple of yrs as a vacation pioneer, they later changed the name to auxilery pioneer, and during the following 20 yrs i had a few intermitant spells as an auxilery when i had time to.

during my pioneer years i have given talks at circuit assemblies and had assignments at district assemblies .

how are you coping?

do you use a cpap machine or did you get surgery to correct your difficulties?

Beofre making such a desicion have you gave thought to asking or telling someone in the hall your concerns and thoughts.

Ha Ha. Right. "Brother Elder, I've been researching the organization and have found a lot of inconsistancies, such as the generation that saw 1914, and the changes in the blood policy. Can you help me and answer some questions?" Well of course we can Brother Oscar. Would you like to come back to the Kingdom Hall tomorrow evening at 7:00pm, and meet with me, and Brother Fire and Brimstone, and Brother Know it All?

Pray sincerely to Jehovah and he will help you

Perhpas he has and that is why he is here!

Let's Talk Against The Organization!

by minimus in

jw
friends

jehovah's witnesses are told to never talk against the organization.

they say that talking against the organization is the same as talking against jehovah god himself!........so, now that we have the freedom to speak our minds, say something true.

Have you looked in the mirror lately?

"Religion is the worship and service of the Devil and his associate demons .... Religion is the chief means that puts fear into the minds of the people and leads them into the Devil's snare .... Truly then, as stated, 'religion is a snare and a racket,' employed to collect money from them under false representations." Joseph Rutherford & Watchtower, Jan. 15 1940, Page 29

Could JW's return to the "generation of 1914" teaching and still be true?

by booker-t in

i was discussing the 1914 "this generation" doctrine with my jw mother the other day and she said something that made me laugh my head off.

i told her that the wts were wrong on this belief so why does she put so much faith in them.

she told me that jw's were not wrong on this believe but just back off being so dogmatic about it but that they still feel that the generation of 1914 will see the end come.

Tell that to Mrs Black and her family...

Black, Evelyn Ruth
January 18, 2005

March 27, 1914 - Jan. 15, 2005

Born Evelyn Ruth Burns, eldest of five children, she became a teacher in the early thirties, and married Adolph Leland Black. He predeceased her in 1993. She is survived by her brother Walter Thomas Burns (Ruth) of British Columbia and youngest sister Thelma Augusta Kells of Saskatchewan, as well as two sons Dale (Elvira) of Murillo, Ontario and Bill of Ottawa, Ontario, seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren Deborah MacWhirter (Bruce, Jason, Sean), Jennifer McGuire (Nathan, Hannah, Graham), Frederick Black (Simone, Melissa, Stephanie and Fred?s mother Fran), Danielle Benkhelifa (Kikkim, Elliot, Scarlett), Joel Black, Sameena Black, Rhea Black. Her five-decade teaching career in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Thunder Bay, Ontario continued for five years after retirement as she helped to home-school Joel, Sameena, and Rhea. Music was important in Evelyn?s life. She loved playing the piano and singing, often accompanied by Adolph on the banjo. Her keen interest in poetry was demonstrated as recently as a year ago, when she could still recite Burns poems learned as a schoolgirl eighty years ago. Baptized an Anglican, she always had a keen interest in religious matters. But near the beginning of the infamous wartime ban (1940-1945), she was baptized as one of Jehovah?s Witnesses June 6, 1940 in a creek in rural Saskatchewan. For over sixty-five years her most cherished activity was the Christian Ministry. Her dedication and zeal were an example to the many she helped on the road to Life. The Resurrection hope was a comfort to her as it is to us, her family and friends. As per Evelyn?s wishes, her Grandson Joel together with family friend Peter Cramb will conduct a Memorial service Friday, January 21, 2005 at 1:00 PM in Pioneer Ridge, 750 Tungsten Street. After the service, coffee will be served and some of her Grandchildren will give a presentation in her memory. Cremation has already taken place. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Pioneer Ridge Donation Account.

EVEREST FUNERAL CHAPEL, 299 Waverley St. at Algoma in care of arrangements.
