  i heard that the witnesses used to smoke back in the day.

  is this true?

  if so, what was the reasoning behind this?.

  I enjoy a good cigar occasionally. Of course I only smoke "invisibly" but I sometimes let my smoking "overlap" into my drinking. Evidently and/or apparently I need to quit soooooooooon!

  just saying!

  were there ever specific occurrences which you or those around you thought might be the start of "armageddon"?.

  i remember 9/11 being such a day as it happened right as the meeting for field service ended.

  it was the week of the c.o.

  UNDERSTANDING "FOOD AT THE PROPER TIME" the duty of the Faithful Slave

  by Terry in

  during the great depression in the 1930's people lost their jobs.. banks closed, and long lines formed in the streets called "bread lines".. people got up early and had to stand in line all day to get a free loaf of bread to feed their family!.

  in a cabin in the appalachian mountains there was a family of four: two children (a boy and a girl), a mom and a dad (who had lost his job.

  at the local sawmill).. things looked really bleak.

  Do you think it's rude or disrespectful to be in the bathroom for any reason while the brother is praying?

  by toto555 in

  i had a publisher tell me this recently that she felt that it showed disrespectful to the brother up there giving the prayer, like you're ignoring him or something.

  what do you think?

  and if so, any bible scripture or watchtower or awake backing this idea up specifically?.

  2. friends

  there are 4 single men who are serving as ms. all are tripping over themselves for attenttion.

  do they have to marry off a ministerial servant before taking him to the next level?.

  and what percentage of elders are married?

  Actually, if the qualifications for elders and ms's are to be taken literally, then they must be married--husband of one wife-- and have children under subjection.

  How the organization can survive and thrive in the 21st Century

  by kneehighmiah in

  let's face it.

  after 2014 comes and goes uneventfully, reality will hit hard for many.

  the organization will fall apart and apathy, inactivity and bitterness will rule.

  The attitude of the gb is, "if it ain't broke why fix it?" They ain't broke so no fixes are a comin'.

  All I can say is that if jw's buy, "invisible presence", "overlapping generations", and "sooooooon", then spinning that this 'new' donation (wink-wink) arrangement is not "tithing"---welll that will be a walk in the park. And it won't be a stroll.

  I was a door-to-door magazine salesman...but I didn’t know it!

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  both jws and former jws dont seem to remember that up until 1990, jws sold magazines, books, and brochures from door to door.

  you went to either the magazine or the literature counter and bought publications that you were going to sell.

  pioneers would get a slight discount.
