article is basicqlly about families where a spouse is working away from home for an extended period, etc...a foot note says basically that some studies have shown that working away from home can cause serious consequences, such as infidelity, homosexuality, or incest.
.
pull it up on jw.org...that is what it says.
"reports from various countries..." is all you get from WT. This sounds too much like the following:
"Reports are heardof brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's end." Kingdom Ministry, 5/74, p. 3.
today my husband and i sold plastic ducks for the annual duck racing fund raising event opposite a jw cart.
in the 2hour period we sold over a 100 ducks putting our jw training to good use proactively approaching people, overcoming objections and generally wishing people success.
cantleave went round the local businesses selling to the shops and generally was received positively.
manning a booth in a place where nobody will recognize you leesens the embarrassment plus it's easy to make your time.
these days, virtually every public talk speaker thinks it's interesting and intellectual to include a dictionary definition of some word.
often the word is in common use and needs no explanation, such as 'exercise', or 'knowledge', or whatever.. now contrast that to all of the words that the wt has it's own meaning for, and referencing a dictionary for the common understanding of it would be viewed unfavourably.. words like 'generation' or 'men' (as in jesus is mediator between god and 'men' - 1tim 2:5-6).. what words have the wt redefined that you know about?
- i'd like to compile a list if possible.. splash.
A speaker giving the public talk said that the word, "fellow" came from the root word for Nephilim which means "to cause to fall". He says the Nephilim caused others to fall, and so they were called "fellers" and so we get the word "fellow". I'm thinking, ahhhhh...NO.
i recently did just that and had an unexpectedly uplifting experience.
whilst on vacay i was informed by my jw friend (only dimly aware of my faded status) that wed be visiting the local kh .
so there i was, far from home, not been to a kh in over a year and heading to the sunday meeting.
One Last Kiss: No more paragraph highlighting one-upmanship!
They must not be very tech savy b/c I have seen WT e-copies with yellow high-lighting!
example #1: a child is caught eating a candy bar before bedtime.. .
the child is caught and makes an excuse:.
3. the child is blame-shifting in the name of his father.. .
That analogy is true only if Tom Smith was actually hired by the Ajax plumbing company. What if Mr. Smith took the van and uniform without consent.
i still do not understand the new structure at this point.. there has to be something between thousands of co's and the gb.
i know there were zone overseers that the do's reported to.. i have spoken to a couple of elders i can talk to frankly and they both said they have no idea.. rub a dub.

when rutherford assumed the presidency of the watchtower society he instituted series of sweeping changes to the teachings and practices of the bible students.
some of these changes were at complete odds with what had been taught previously.
a key example was the elevation of the watchtower society as "god's visible organization on earth".
heard from an elder friend in so.
cal that the san diego convention has new rules this year:.

sparrowdown: "instances of kids dying from heat exhaustion in the 50's", are you kidding me? I had not heard this before, were you there? I was at a DC where a kid drowned in one of the "recommended" hotel pools. That's what happens when you mix poor recreation-starved kids and "free" pool access.
they have gotten free labor, and tax free money and man worship for over 100 years!.
they put their pants on one leg at a time.. they are just... men.. if they heard god speaking to them, they keep getting the message wrong?
