  POPE ON THE NET

  do the gov.

  body use the internet ?.

  the pope seems to....... "the 81-year old pontiff, who last year sent his first message over the internet, praised it as a "wonderful instrument" that should be used to spread the word of god and encourage global peace.. in his first message sent to the world directly over the internet last november, pope john paul apologized to victims of sexual abuse by priests and other clergy.".

  "Scene of the world is changing"

  by Blackcat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recently had the pleasure of working on a house which also had a visit from the jw,s.. as i was working away, i had a "listening ear" or should i say i overheard bits of the conversation, the main sentence being from the male jdub...." the scene of the world is changing".

  this was so comical as he repeated it around 5 times in 3 minutes!

  !, now i can remember from the ministry school the term "repitition for emphasis" but this was getting soooo predictable.. my question is this a variation used by jw,s as an alternative to "the last days" term in which i used as a teenage jw ?

  Anti-JW leaflet campaign

  by freeborg in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been a reader of this message board for a number of years and this is the first comment i have made in that time.

  i have been part of the wts for 20 years my parents believed they had found the truth when i was 10 and from then on we hung to every word uttered from the platform at the kingdom hall.

  my wife was a witness brought up in the wts all her life so the wts was a massive part of all our familes lives from parents to brothers and sisters.

  Whats the strangest watchtower/awake article ever

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  whats the strangest watchtower/awake or other publication article you,ve ever seen?.

  i know theres some very strange old articles , but a few years ago there was one in the awake if i remmember right which had a picture of two brothers holding hands on the ministrty.. one was african the other white.. apparently it was common for men to hold hands in this country and was perectly normal for hetrosexual men to do.. a brother who was a missionary recounted how he was shocked when out with a local brother for the first time on the ministry and the brother took his hand in his.. a lot of people though the article was very odd and didn't like it.

  JEHOVAHS BLESSINGS

  by Blackcat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recently spoke to a 72 yr-old, who has been jw for around 2oyrs.. he was telling me how well he was doing in field-misery sorry ministry,how many return-visits he had and how he leaves the mags in old peoples homes,and "witnesses" to the pensioners there.. then he went on to tell me that jehovah had really blessed him financialy with a fantastic pension from his previous employers!!

  the only problem being he took early retirement before he became a jw from the company.. does jehovah reward his people with financial wealth?.

  if he does, i was robbed by my local newsagent when i had a paper round aged 14 !

  this reporter curiously had access to a number of jws.

  jw himself???.

  jehovah's witnesses reject many holidays and the notion that they are a dour group.
