Good Luck Abandoned!
I know that you will do well. Don't be nervous. Once you start working on the computer it will all come back to you. Just like riding a bicycle.
You are a good man and they are lucky to have you. Just remember that.

1980's Pop Song that Ends with Ahhhhhh
by VM44 inthis might be a difficult question, but i am going to ask it anyway.
someone here probably knows the answer.. does a pop song probably from the 1980's sung by a solo female artist that ends with several lines of "ahhhhhh" sound familiar to anyone?.
the song ends with the singer modulating "ahhhhhh" for at least 20 seconds.. when this song is played over the radio the dj's sometime "sing" along with the "ahhhhh" part.. ahhhhhh ahhhhhhh ah ahh ahh ahhhhhhh ahhhhhhh a".

The theme song from Friends, I'll Be There For You, I think ends with that sound.

ANTI-SLAVERY LEGISATION AND THE WT
by badboy inhas anyone thought of whether bethel ree labour violate anti-slavery legistation?

I would not categorize Bethelities as slaves. They are fed well at a table with proper utensils. They are given a room with a nice bed to sleep in. They are urged to keep themselves and their clothes clean. They volunteered to come and stay at the Bethel Home and some of them are actually thrilled to be there. They are allowed to leave at any time they wish.
So, no, they are not slaves. They are simply clueless.

The Father of the Watchtower Society
by Honesty indo you think jehovah is the father of the watchtower society?
-

Gary1914
The Watchtower Society invented their God, Jehovah. They endowed their God with the personality traits that they needed from him. For instance, their God counts as worthy only those who go in field service a certain number of hours each month. Their God Jehovah is acutely aware of meetings and who misses them. Their God Jehovah does not want anyone to receive a blood transfusion and would prefer them to die instead.
Jehovah wants you to dress a certain way, to speak a certain way and to never celebrate holidays. He does not want you to salute the flag, vote in elections or join the army or the YMCA. He even publishes the books that he wants you to read.
Yes, Jehovah, as created by the Watchtower Society is their father. They made him, they worship him, they can keep him!

A claim to Beth Sarim
by Gary1914 inmy great grandmother, who has been in the truth forever, just told us a funny story and i thought i would share it with all of you.. we were discussing judge rutherford and she said that she was living in california at the same time as rutherford was living in beth sarim.
the papers at that time ran an article about rutherford and that beth sarim had been purchased especially for moses, abraham and other old faithful servants.. well, one day a hobo came to the door and claimed that he was abraham and that he came to take possession of his home.
i don't know what rutherford was expecting but instead of welcoming this "prince" to his new home he called the authorities to take him away.

I don't know what Rutherford was expecting but instead of welcoming this "prince" to his new home he called the authorities to take him away. The hobo protested all the while he was being lead away, saying that he was Abraham and the house was his.
Well.... anyway....... we all thought it was funny.

Last month this was his service time: 0
What did he put in? 25 hours... 25!!!
Ah..., a publisher after my own heart. I do the same thing every month! Just makes sure that he spreads the hours around. Bible studies, return visits, so it looks believable. 25 hours is good. It shows that he is super spiritual. Watch out, he is in line for an eldership!

Preaching work - What other religion preaches??
by Black Man ini know the mormons go door to door and i have seen some church of god people occasionally.
who else has organized preaching ministries (door to door, etc.)?
i'm in an ongoing dialogue with relatives and this is one of their contentions - that the witnesses must have the truth (despite the many fallacies) because they are the only one that go door to door preaching.
-

Gary1914
I would hesitate to call it organized though. After attending some of the services and talking with some folks its more like people do what the spirit moves them to do.
Annd isn't that they way it should be? We should be moved to preach, not legislated to preach.

V, it is absolutely the most incredible video. Thank you so much for producing it. I hope it gets viewed so much that you become a YouTube celebrity. This could be the start of something big.

If that unity is broken the whole organization will cease to exist.
Are you saying that would be a bad thing?
What I cannot help but marvel at is the picture on page 21. Is this a depiction of first century Jerusalem? The wife and husband are both home and come to the door. The doorway is white and freshly painted? Are they kidding? Those people had no time to stand leisurely listening to someone talk in the middle of the day. They had constant chores to do in order to live. And why are they dressed so nicely? Surely the man tends to his fields and animals and the woman to her scrubbing and baking and cleaning and whatever else they did in old clothes and not beautiful clothes as they are wearing in the picture.
Maybe I am mistaken, but I also thought that first century Jerusalem was a rough, hard life.
