2. The Mormons.
haven't seen jw's here on this street in 2 years. i know they are around, but they don't ever seem to be when i am.
however i see more mormons in the city and on my street than i ever see jw's.
downunder all the circuit overseers and district overseers are in bethel for a special 10 week-long school these past few weeks.
riveting stuff is being discussed like watchtower prophecy!!!
the borgmeisters want to make sure that the correct interpretations are being passed on to the r&f......or do they simply want to make sure the travelling overseers understand it all!!!!

it seems the mormon's are having the same recruiting problems as the jw's.
it's hard-knock life .
not the first.
in Fall River Massachusettes in the late 90's we sold our KH to the LDS so we could build one not on the hills and so dangerous to get to in the winter, and have more parking.
so they built it on a parade route.
dummys. someone didn't do all their homework.
"sitting on the fence" "leading a double life" or just a fader.
its strange i envy both jws and exjws, after all each have a clear direction of where their lives are headed.
they have a definate view of how they feel, what they think, where they're going, what they are.
i thought both girls sang amazingly last night.
both had one song that wasn't so great, so the contest was a draw for me.
since simon so obviously favors fantasia i voted 3 times for diana.
diana all the way.....but i suppose y'all new i felt that way
fantasia does nothing for me, except want to mute the tv. i can hear that grating whine when she sings and speaks. it cuts through to the bone and grates like fingernails on a chalk board.
i think her voice sounds like aunt esther on sanford and son.
i'm looking for some feedback here.
hl and i like to socialise sometimes, and this often results in us hosting small parties for a few friends.. often our friends reciprocate, and then we enjoy being guests instead of being hosts.. but we keep encountering a dilemma.
one set of friends like us to visit them for afternoon bbq's or sometimes for evening dinner parties.. now, no problem with dinner parties, but if say we go to a bbq at around 4.30, they expect us to remain with them for the entire evening right through until around 11 pm or midnight, the same time as we'd stay to if we went to a late dinner party.. personally, i've had enough at about 9 pm, that's 5 hours, so we like to leave and have a pint or two in the pub on the way home.. now this makes them quite angry and they say that we're being anti-social because we are off to the pub instead of spending the whole evening with them.. i maintain that if you go to tea or a bbq in the late afternoon, then it's quite acceptable to depart earlier than if you went to a late dinner party.. what do you think?.
when i had dubbuales over stay their visits, i'd treat it honourably. i'd go to bed.
when they heard my snoring, they got the hint.
go home!
i would like to ask, specifically, the ladies here who have been subjected to a jc hearing, preferrably for fairly serious reasons, to write a quick summary of the humiliation, etc.
that went on during this process.
anybody who has participated in a jc hearing is welcome to add.
robhic,
i know i have read MANY horror stories right here on this board. you may have to spend so time searching, but you can find them.
i don't have any of my own to share, but spending a day or two in searching this site will bring you the information you desire.
last year i was using 640x480 resolution.
(way too big) .
since about a year i switched to 800x600 pixels (perfect).
1280x1024
.
can someone post a link to the km article that came out a year or so ago regarding treatment of disfellowshipped family members?.
thanks a bunch!
ummm...no. but you could print out the pages, or i could find the km and give you a text scan of it to c&p from. i'll try to find it for you.
did the watchtower organisation ever compare it self to the vine of john 15 or similar.
i hope not! just as john 15:1 said about me:
(John 15:1-10) 15 ?I am the true VINE , and my Father is the cultivator. 2 Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away, and every one bearing fruit he cleans, that it may bear more fruit. 3 YOU are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to YOU. 4 Remain in union with me, and I in union with YOU. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it remains in the VINE , in the same way neither can YOU, unless YOU remain in union with me. 5 I am the VINE , YOU are the branches. He that remains in union with me, and I in union with him, this one bears much fruit; because apart from me YOU can do nothing at all.
i play pc games for the most part.
i'm still in the old counter-strike mode.
but i also like to play unreal tournament 2003 and 2004. i also like battlefield 1942/vietnam and farcry.. i would recommend the athlon 64 or fx(if you gots lots of cash) series from amd over a pentium, since they run 32 stuff fast now and can do 64 bit when the production version is released.
ut(99), ut2k3 and ut2k4, aliens vs predator 2
i run a ut2k4 dedicated server.
