  the angels are, post-eden, the most visible aspect (biblically speaking) of the interaction of the supernatural with the natural.. what have these supernatural beings done for/to us?.

  How about this approach...

  Sunday 9:30 a.m. - bring a case of beer and a quart of Old Grandad to the meeting (enough to share), and sit in the front row.

  Sunday 9:35 a.m. - add to the opening prayer, "and we thank you for the beer and bourbon we will now share."

  Sunday 9:36 a.m. - crack a beer and pass the case to the next row.

  Sunday 9:37 a.m. - take a slug off the jug and pass the jug to the next row.

  No meetings or field circus schedules after this...

  So much easier! Eh?

  Water seeks its own level.

  One must be a bastard to remain on the playing field with the rest of the bastards (GB, DOs, COs, etc.) These are hard and mean men, and to remain in their inner circle, one MUST BE hard and a bastard. No love gonna come from these men - no love!

  Minimus welcome back! You missed the following:

  * Babylon the Great fell.

  * The demon prince of Persia attended Donald Trump's real estate course.

  * The Governing Body took baths.

  * A group of "wise and discreet" Bethelites bought a Brooklyn liquor warehouse and now provide volume discounts.

  * Your April Temp. Pioneering application was refused (they said something about heresy rumors).

  Other than that, all is well.

  Glenn killed 4 but wasn't blood guilty, since he shared a few Watchtowers with cellmates. "Boys will be boys" and self righteous crapheads will continue to be self righteous crapheads.

  ExJDub-

  Being a Systems Architect in the midst of chaos again for a software startup had me reconfigure to consulting. Will be traveling between Toronto and Atlanta.

  Ya' all, yes, celibacy I gave up too, or should I say I'll give up, as soon as she gives up.

  Why so many "qualifications"

  by bonnzo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if jesus could find someone at work(matt 9:9; mark 1:16-21) and ask them to be a follower without having to go over 164,000 questions(just kidding a little bit) to see if they qualify to be a publisher of the good news, why do jw's do this?

  the same for baptism; the ethiopian eunoch did not, according to scripture, go over a bunch of questions to be baptized, so why?

  Why do the local congregations always pay for the D.O. and C.O. visits?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every time a circuit and district overseer visited our congregation,the elders always wanted a show of hands from the congregation to see if we would pay for their car expenses and travel.sometimes the congregation would pay for airline tickets.it was always approved.. do you know if the idea came from the local congregations to pay?

  did the wts send out letters to each congregation to see if they would pay?

  we know that the wts always get what they want.. it's amazing how we paid $250-$400 for each overseer visit and the wts paid nothing..

  How about this... maybe the congos should take a Level A vote-

  "How many want the circuit overseer to come. Come on brothers, let's be honest, he was a bastard last visit, and even worse the visit before. Let's vote not to receive him. Let him visit Crooklyn the week of April 1st instead."
