SERVICE REPORT 2005 : WATCHTOWER FEB 1ST 2006
by BluesBrother ini have had a quick look and found no references to this, so - here goes..as in the mag we picked up on sunday.. worldwide % increase over 2004 = 1.3%.
memorial partakers 8524 (compared to 8570 in 2004).
most european and nth american lands show pretty static figs - britain 1% increase, canada 0%, germany 0%, france 1%, usa 0%... but spare a thought for the inhabitants of zambia where 1 person in 90 is a reporting witness, must be hell going down to the local market!

What would be a good business to replace the Kingdom Hall?
by DevonMcBride ini know i'm jumping the gun here but...with the big news coming there may be some for sale signs in front of kingdom halls in the future.
the kingdom hall near me is at a busy intersection and a prime location for another business.
i think a yoga studio would be perfect there.

Keep Your Mind Off The "Big News"

i think that we all need to calm down here.
afterall, all of this speculation is 'running ahead of the organization'.

Bedridden morbidly obese people
by Elsewhere inevery now and then i see a news article about a 600 pound man or woman who is so fat they are bedridden and cannot get out of bed.
they normally need a family member to clean them on a regular basis and feed them.
i once saw an article about a man whos skin had literally bonded with the fabric upholstery of his couch and needed to have to fabric surgically removed.. ive been sitting here wondering.

CREEPY CREEPY STORY!!!!!!
by Legolas ini got so caught this morning with barb's thread that i forgot to tell you guys the story my sister told me last night.
she was telling all of us about a night last year when they (her and her 2 kids aged "4" and 8) were watching the news, anyway the news was on afghanistan and the older girl asked why the women were all covered up, so my sister started to explain in simple terms (because of the ages) that women were not treated good over there, so this is where the "4" year old pipes up and says ..'i know!
' so my sister asked her what she meant and the 4 year old said that there was bad men with guns following her in the house, (so at this point my sister just went with the story to see what she would say) so my sister asked what she did, if she got away...and my niece said she and another friend hid in the basement but the men found them and shot them

Are Jehovah's Witnesses parasites?
by moshe ini sometimes felt guilty when i was a jw by taking advantage of the system and not putting anything back.
like schools- jw's want good schools for their kids but would never serve on the pta or other school committee.
doctors- oh how they want the best medical care, but they discourage their children from getting an advanced degree to become a doctor.

Did you ever see or experience prejudice in the religion?
by free2beme inbesides the strong hatred of woman, that we know the witness religion teaches, did you ever see black bothers ignored in their attempt to reach out to be ms or elders?
did you ever see latinos treated different because of how the local community viewed them?
i know the watchtower teaches that this does not happen, but i actually experienced an event with a black brother that was a friend, that bothered me when i was in the religion.

i'll answer that--no!
