  Those of you who can explain mathematical concepts, please reply.

  i know who you are; you posted, rather eloquently, on venus' thread regarding a teacher making a mistake in mathematics.. my brain is not wired to explain concepts that come to you naturally.

  certainly, it is a combination of both your innate ability as well as training in a field in which you excel.

  my question centers on those of us who did well in mathematics but cannot explain what we are doing.

  Also, there are 10 types of people - those who understand binary and those who don't.

  Not called branch servant these days, but I think the nearest to it is Rob Li - fairly young (40s?), featured on branch relocation video last week.

  Julian Hodson (no g in his surname) is the brother of Marina Sydlik. He and Michael Purbrick (always want to miss the "urb" out of his surname) were in the same cong - Hebburn - for quite a while, so the similarities are not unexpected.

  Simplified study watchtower

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there seems to be some confusion over what is happening with the study edition of the watchtower - i notice it isn't mentioned in the letter to be read out.

  if, as seems likely, it is going to be dumbed down even further then i think this could be the first step to shortening the watchtower study (to 30 mins?

  ) - it is the only meeting not to have been reduced in recent years.

I am a bit surprised they haven't decided to include the monthly workbook as part of the study edition watchtower to save on printing - maybe next year.

  JW.org is a real estate and publishing company disguesd as a religion.

  since my awakening i have tried to understand why and how people could continue to believe so blindly in a proven false "religious" cult that has such an extensive and detailed record of scandals, lies and cover ups???

  i've come to the personal conclusion that there are three major reasons.

  i call them the 3 f-ups!

  I tend to think of them as The Watchtower Building and Land Society.

  Of course Jehovah showed how much he likes children by destroying them all in a flood. Thankfully, this was just a crazy story rather than a real event.

  The forgotten victims in Job

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after todays watchtower, i realised that there was a detail which i'd never noticed before.

  sometimes job's children are mentioned, but how many have noticed that job's servants were also killed.

  they didn't even have a quantity assigned to them - just treated like property.
