19Funny grammar error in German Watchtower
by processor inthey seem to have laid off their proofreaders.
in the new 03/2016 study watchtower there is a picture description:a mature young person does not act like a friend of god at the kingdom hall but a friend of the world at school.
the german issue saysein reifer junger mensch verhalt sich im konigreichssaal nicht wie ein freund jehovas und in der schule wie ein freund der welt.

I think it was PUNKOFNICE who came up with the phrase, "apathy carts". How apropos.
Yesterday I encountered a car group of Witnesses in my community as I was coming home from the gym. Actually, their van was blocking me from entering my driveway. I saw that they had just left my doorstep and were climbing back into the van. I waited patiently, even smiled politely. As the driver pulled forward he gave me an obvious apologetic look for blocking the drive. I winked, nodded... no harm done.
I didn't recognize any of them. I know they didn't recognize me. Why didn't they come back to my door after they knew I was home. I saw them pull into my neighbor's drives as they worked on down the street, but they never came back to the house where they KNEW someone was home now.
Apathy needs no cart.

So is he saying that when my wife is right she's a homosexual?
Are you thinking that's kinda hot? Are you thinking she should invite a friend over and be right together while you watch?

The first time, it is probably going to look either wimpy or sloppy or both.
Yeah, it turned out a bit wimpy. It looked a lot better in my mind.

Nothing special. In fact, I have learned I'm not very good at it. I have many talents. Christmas decoration is not one of them. (I struggle with posting interesting crap on discussion forums too.)
But... DAAAYUMM! I put up lights this year. Had a blast!
When the sun goes down a little more I'll take a picture and show off my low-rent display.

Coordinator of Elders Problems in One Southern England Circuit!
by The Searcher ininformation just passed to me.
let's hope this becomes even more widespread.
i wonder if the britain branch suspects a conspiracy?

They said that the hall was not really safe to use due to the risk of a rock fall and other maintenance issues...
Let me guess, they sold it to someone else without any concern for their safety. This kinda reminds me of the ARC accusation that elders send known pedophiles into the community without any regard for other children in the neighborhood.

Shouldn't I be crying? Not sure how to process.
What was your relationship with your brother? Were you close? Even semi close?
When I got the news of my brother's suicide it had no real affect on me at all as we had no relationship to speak of. I acknowledged the unfortunate circumstances and went about my day having suffered no loss.

Decrease of numbers in Jehovah's Witnesses via Deaths, DFings, or Turning Inactive
by flipper inso i'm sure a good number of us saw the chart that i believe the poster splash put on another thread of figures since 1990 regarding how many baptized and % of increase each year .
i started analyzing it ( and i know some referred to it briefly on the other thread ) and guessing of reasons the % of increase didn't match the number of newly baptized.
and of course common sense tells us that either jw's leave the cult each year through death, fading into inactivity, or getting dfed.

While impossible to calculate, I'm sure the number of those who remain in for family, put in minimal hours to remain "active", and refuse to donate have gone up, up, up. -

Did Watchtower lay the foundation for supporting abortions with this statement?
by Zoos in* * * watchtower, august 1, 1960, questions from readers, pp.479-480 * * * how can deuteronomy 24:16, which says, children should not be put to death on account of fathers, be harmonized with the fact that the offspring of the adulterous relation between david and bath-sheba died due to their sin, as shown in 2 samuel 12:14?j.
b., u.s.a.the law, as stated at deuteronomy 24:16, shows that fathers were not to be put to death for their sons nor were sons to be put to death for their fathers.
in mans administration of justice each was to die for his own sin, and not drag innocent relatives down with him.

* * * Watchtower, August 1, 1960, Questions From Readers, pp.479-480 * * *
● How can Deuteronomy 24:16, which says, “Children should not be put to death on account of fathers,” be harmonized with the fact that the offspring of the adulterous relation between David and Bath-sheba died due to their sin, as shown in 2 Samuel 12:14?—J. B., U.S.A.
The law, as stated at Deuteronomy 24:16, shows that fathers were not to be put to death for their sons nor were sons to be put to death for their fathers. In man’s administration of justice each was to die for his own sin, and not drag innocent relatives down with him. In this particular case of David and Bath-sheba neither of them had a right to the child and so there was no injustice in their being deprived of it. Besides, as an uncircumcised, unnamed infant it had not as yet developed any personality pattern or consciousness so as to appreciate life. Then again, Bath-sheba could have been stoned to death for her adultery, in which case the unborn child would also have perished. However, as previously noted in The Watchtower, David was shown mercy because of the Kingdom covenant, which Jehovah had made with him. Nevertheless, to drive home the fact of Jehovah’s displeasure he let the child die, which was a very severe blow to King David. Two similar instances are recorded in David’s life: One was in connection with the death of Uzzah, who tried to steady the ark of the covenant; the other was the destruction of tens of thousands of Israelites because King David presumptuously and proudly determined to number the hosts of Israel. (1 Chron. 15:13; 21:1-27) Such records as these magnify the supremacy of Jehovah God and underscore the words: “He [God] doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?”—Dan. 4:35, AS.
With this kind of reasoning a woman who's been raped could justify ending the pregnancy.
