Wonderful news
i had a thought today that might prove interesting.
i'm wondering if there are any illegal immigrants who are witnesses?
surely it would be a great position to be in as an illegal immigrant because you could play up your plight and prey on the sympathies of others within the congregation.
I can tell you for 100% certain there are undocunmented JWs in the country. Yes the organizations knows about them. However, they are not allowed to serve as elders, MS, Pioneers.
i have posted a handful of times so far.
i am seeking some ideas to plant some seeds with my nephew before he goes to patterson.. a little about me and the going away party where i will have an opportunity to plant these seeds.

Just say - "Hey I saw a wonderful documentary on Animal Planet the other day. Did you know there are over 1 million types of insects on the planet and they are still being discovered? That must have been a really difficult task for Noah collecting all those for the ark".

the difficulty of finding a marriage mate is well known for sisters.

I have seen one or two absolute stunners -but there are not many.
ummm.......just wondering .
thanks a bunches!!!
!.
Thanks for the info. 5 tracts released at one convention with a big fanfare. Yup - prophecy coming true- Praise Jah- arent the Governing Body wonderful - tral-la-la-lar
im amazed how going witnessing sisters who knew me for decades would sit only in the back seat on the way to the hall...to avoid any sex at the traffic lights!!!
and chaperons 1840's style are needed because two witnesses alone for 10 minutes would go at it like animals even after all the training watchtower articles and talks being jahs clean org.
and all..
let us say they do fornicate and then the elevator cable snaps
Gives a whole new meaning to "going down
so, if the current gb is this "faithful and discreet slave" and they place greater emphasis on 1919 now, are they saying that only a few anointed christians were selected in the 1st century, followed by nearly 2000 years of no selections and starting around 1914-1919, the selection of the rest of the 144,000 resumed?.
if so, this is an easy explanation for the increase in numbers of partakers since 2008. have they gone right out and said this officially or have they only alluded to it up to now?.
also, the original understanding was this "shut door" policy of 1935. i never understood how they arrived at that year.
But,yeah,they pulled that date out of a hat or something (their ass --)
