If the GB were really interested in the preaching work.....
by pontoon in......they should be out there where the "need is great" spearheading the work.
remember now, the preaching work belongs to the annointed, other sheep are just helpers.
the gb especially should be out there doing it.

Unlimited Money
by pontoon inwe know the place on the lake was not their first choice.
another property in tuxedo park was but they were not able to get permits, lawsuits followed with the former owner, don't know how it turned out but it was a mess.
wat kept the property in tuxedo to use as a staging zone for the big construction at sterling forest lake.

about the annual meeting-going to be another money maker
by pontoon inhaven't posted in a long time but i just have to say that the borg must really be building this annual meeting up to be a big deal.
talked with my dad and he hasn't had so much enthusastic anticipation since 1975. he said that it was announced that if all the seats are taken you should sit in your car and listen to the talks on the radio.
i told him the rumour was a new nwt revision would be released.

An old friend
by pontoon in40+ yrs ago when i moved into this congregation's territory i became good friends with a brother in the congregation, about 20 yrs older than me and about mildest, most easy going person you could meet.
he was just full of old fashion country style common sense, taught me a lot about country life, like heating with firewood, (yes, there is a lot to know about cutting and heating with wood), taught me how to skin and cut up deer, he would help anyone who needed help........., so about 30 yrs ago he was df'd.
we would occasionally bump into each other, i would never not say hello, but him knowing i wasn't suppose to talk to him he would (and i) just move on.

About the 16 pg mags
by pontoon injust flipped through the feb awake and the feb 1 public wat.
first time since they went to 16 pages.
my first impression was the large amount of blank space in both mags, really wasted space.

If the GB really were.......
by pontoon in........ really interested in preaching and teaching the "truth" they would divide themselves up and move to parts of the world where the truth is supposedly taking hold.
don't think it would help increase too much but just think what a motivation and inspiritation it would be to the witnesses in those places.
like jesus pounding dirt with his apostles.
