  "You don't get a second chance to make a first impression" AAWA

  the first impression one has of any group or organization is its name.

  that is my problem with "the name'.

  active, or even questioning witnesses will undoubtedly be alarmed by the connotation of name.

  Do you think it's sad Ted Jaracz is not here to reap what he sowed.

  after all jaracz was in charge of the service dept which formulated and enforced the silence rules and others which are now a source of such pain for the watchtower.. shame he died without having to face the consequences.

  Why can pioneers count time working on WT construction but not looking after orphans, widows, the hungry, the thirsty or the homeless?

  apart from the scripture about love being the identifying mark of a christian, it seems to me that james 1,27 and matthew 25:34-40 quoted below are the biblical priorities of a christian.. .

  although preaching was not included in the three quotes i guess it would be included as christian thing to do.

  it has been the thing most stressed by the watchtower hierarchy and certain hours are required to be an elder etc.. does it show something about their priorities that pioneers can count time hour for hour when working on watchtower buildings?
