They actually call them governing body Helpers? That sounds so juvenile, like being snack helper in kindergarten.

I feel disheartened, confused, betrayed, depressed and angry.

i've been a baptized witness for 21 years.

Nick, I hear you on the Economy. My husband and I wonder what kind of a life our son will have. I'm wondering, though, where rents are as low as $550 to $750 a month? It's $1200 at a minimum where I live! And people fuss about raising the minimum wage!
What's frustrating is that our son will probably have to work harder and probably have less. We have already planned that he will live with us after he finishes college. Around here, even a college graduate will have difficulty supporting themselves with a starter job.
But, that doesn't mean the End is near. The Depression in the '30s was by all accounts much worse and here we are in the 21st century. The economy waxes and wanes over time. But, it can be frustrating to think about when we were always taught the world would end soon and we wouldn't have to deal with it anymore.
Glad you're enjoying your grandaughter. Little ones have a way of brightening up your life.

Year 3: Personal Experiences
by Londo111 inhttp://youtu.be/nnnabt9x5lm?list=plynx0om_bmgdobkrzev2tax1jzdquagy8.
this is my third year since i signed up on jwn and i wanted to do something a bit different--a slight unmasking of sorts and greet everyone face to face.
even with the help of a few notes, this is rambling, raw, and by no means the best personal experience video out there.

It's humble guys like you that the Org chews up and spits out. And it's their loss, obviously, after meeting you.
Thanks for posting this video. Loved it.

My Breaking Point -- 11/9/14
by game1914over ini have enjoyed reading your comments during the past four years.
deep down inside, i have always been agnostic.
the first few chapters in genesis are contradictory and differing.. no one has ever been able to answer my question: "why was satan ever created?".

I'm a Baltimore Orioles fan, but I have to say that the Royals just plain out-played us for the division title. I would love to see them win now. I was shocked that Cain missed a catch last night. It bounced right off of his glove! He was one of the reasons that Baltimore couldn't get enough runs.
KC is just a team that has gelled and is working really well with each other right now. They've seemed very nervous in comparison to the Giants' cool, but they are gaining confidence. I would love to see them win.

by berrygerry ininternally, being a father of many children, and being present for ultrasounds and other testing, etc., i appreciate the value of life.. as i understand it, the after-morning pill essentially terminates a 1 or 2 day old conception.. are there any thoughts about this?.

A zygote (fertilized egg) does not a pregnancy make. This occurs higher up in the reproductive tract. Until it descends and implants in the uterine wall the woman is not pregnant. A large number of zygotes never implant, anyway and are washed out with the monthly menstrual period.

I'm so sorry for my Canadian friends. It's dominated the news in the US tonight, too.

Of course it's Fox so they take the side of the churches. They accuse the mayor's office of not respecting the boundaries of the separation of church and state. They don't seem to realize that separation of church and state was intending to protect the state from the church's influence and uphold a secular society governed by the rule of law.
