  A sister's bag is a wondrous thing, being filled with many sticky sweets and suspect tissues . The covers must be industrial grade plastic.

  Accepting the Tyre (Tire)

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  would you, in good conscience, accept part of a car tht you know to be stolen.

  someone comes up to you and ofers you a cheap tyre but you know they took it of a car they stole.

  you know stealing is wrong.

  Great illustration, it annoys me the lengths they will go to make an illustration fit to whatever thy want, but if someone else illustrates it with a non WT illustration to prove otherwise, it's just bunkum. I'll try remember this one..

  Talk out loud in public places...new preaching method? And go bags..

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been told of two things i had not heard of before.. one is a new preaching method, going to public places in a group e.g.

  a cafe, and then talking of the topic quite loudly, for example maybe studying a watchtower or a chapter in a publication.

  the idea being that people listen in and enquire etc etc.

  I'm in the north of the UK, and can confirm the o go bags are a platform mandated thing. It was stressed at ours that it was for natural disasters but with a big wink as if to say "you know what it's REALLY for! TBH it's a good idea anyway, we've had some serious floods here before...

  Cheers clarity! Nice to be welcomed.. Unfortunately it's just as warm a welcome in our Hall, there's a really nice bunch of sincere people so I'm not sure what's going to jarr my lovely lady into seeing beyond the facade... Maybe I should get df'df'd and see how that shakes things up! (jk) (hopefully)

  “New light” Watchtower magazine leaked from organization weeks ahead of general release

  http://jwsurvey.org/governing-body-2/new-light-watchtower-magazine-leaked-from-organization-weeks-ahead-of-general-release.

  if doctrinal explanations are missing from the article, it is because they are also missing from the magazine.. i would like to give my thanks again to my source for supplying me with the magazine article weeks ahead of its scheduled release.

  it showed remarkable courage, because risks were taken.

  Well, having read through every post in this thread I 'm fairly confident about how I feel about this steaming pile of poop. (oops, let the cat out of the bag there.)

  "well, it's what we always thought anyway, no great shakes" I've been told by one elder.

  "Yes, but if you'd vocalised that thought you could've been DF'd for it" I thought. (should've said it)

  So it's the big day tomorrow, we all nod and agree that it makes sense, bypassing rational thought and logic. I wish there was someone else in my hall that felt the way I do. Specially my wife.

  I don't know if I'll answer tomorrow, last week it was all I could do from tutting and shaking my head in disbelief. If I DO answer, it's got to include some references to what we USED to be TOLD to believe.

  Thanks again Cedars, good work sir.
