The GB also said it was safe to continue to hold meetings in the Philipines during the last typhoon that rolled through. 19 JWs paid with their lives for following that sage advice when the KH was destroyed while the meeting was in progress.

Didn't the Governing Body tell us Israel is safe?
by kneehighmiah ini'm sure most people heard about this story that broke yesterday.. http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/19/world/meast/jerusalem-violence/index.html?hpt=hp_t2.
of couse the governing body would never encourage the brothers to go to unsafe areas like detroit or israel.
sadly the brothers would believe it if the governing body told them drinking cyanide was safe.. .

This is the situation we are also faced with and we received a fair warning and instruction from our control tower, the heavenly part of Jehovah's organization
"I guess I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue."

Are these people so desperate for a titleof some kind or do they just enjoy creating class systems
and hierarchies amongst the brothers. Subsets of a subset.
Yes.

According to theists he can do all sorts of cool shit.
God allegedly created the Universe and all life existing, but has never once healed an amputee.

Changed: Head coverings for sisters, w15 2/15 QFR
by wifibandit indoes a female kingdom publisher need to wear a head covering if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher?.
in a questions from readers item published in the watchtower of july 15, 2002, it was stated that a sister should cover her head if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher, whether he is baptized or not.
further consideration of the matter suggests that a modification to this direction is appropriate.. if the male publisher who accompanies the sister while she conducts an established bible study is baptized, the sister would certainly want to wear a head covering.

She thus shows respect for Jehovah’s arrangement of headship within the Christian congregation because she is fulfilling a role that would normally be the responsibility of the brother.
Of course, this completely ignores the fact that all Christians are charged with the task of teaching, not just men. So, a woman is not filling a role "that would normally be the responsibility of the brother". Furthermore, since when does a Bible study in a student's home qualify as "within" the congregation??
Idiotic WT legalism and minutiae...

On the other hand, if a sister is accompanied on an established Bible study by an unbaptized male publisher who is not her husband, she would not Scripturally be required to wear a head covering
...and it is the third Tuesday in and odd-numbered month, the unbaptized male publisher was born in an even-numbered month, the air temperature is between 68.5-73.3 degrees F, the male publisher has never even considered wearing tight pants, and both the student and unbaptized male are vegans.
In that case, please contact Watchtower Legal Dept. for further direction.

"It happens to me all the time. When I need something, it appears. It's because there IS a higher power."
Too bad the extent of god's impressiveness comes only from providing Q-tips for one lucky individual. How does this nitwit explain god's apathy about starving children and cancer?
