by berrygerry ininteresting quote on the back page.. "this new book has indexed every publication produced by the watch tower bible and tract society since 1930.".

Jesus 1000 years and Satan's 1000 years in the abyss
by berrygerry inthe thread about satan in the abyss for 1000 years prompts a question.. jesus will rule for 1000 years.. jesus began ruling in 1914, which means his 1000 year reign will end in 2914.. satan will be abyssed for 1000 years.. if the end comes in 2020, satan will be abyssed in 2020, and then released in 3020.. what happens between 2914 and 3020?.
honest question..

fun-witnessing with the deaf
by berrygerry inso, i'm at mcdonald's and there is a 50ish woman signing with a 70ish woman.. should i?.
i must.. so, a good version of my favourite video is shown to them on my phone, and we spent about 15 minutes watching it, asking questions, mostly laughing, they were writing down the scriptures from the video to check at home what the bible says.. then, after i'm done my coffee, i go back to their table with a note on a napkin.. "now you girls be good when you get home.".
the 70-year-old must have peed her pants from laughing.. .

View of Authority - The Ultimate Borg Article - May 1, 1972, page 267 - (Feel free to jump in, sistahs)
by berrygerry inanother thread referenced this article - pretty well defines life via wts.. the reference paragraphs are endless, and not to be a spoiler-alerter, but the sentence from paragraph 20 sums it up:.
"rather than be curbed at armageddon or later, it is wise to develop and display understanding with respect to authority so we will be the kind of persons jehovah wants in his new order of righteousness.
as a poster in another thread said (not verbatim), if that's paradise, i'll pass..

Anyone aware of Int'l Class Action Suits?
by berrygerry inthe wts has such a plethora of lawyers on staff that they do not fear actions from r & f, and are unaccustomed to losing (hence, their disbelief at losing candace conti).. it would be difficult to imagine a class-action lawyer outside of the us initiating a suit (and hard to know if so in the us).. has anyone heard of int'l class-action suits?.

For past and present elders - Questions in a JC - why so intimate?
by berrygerry inrepeatedly, people who have been in a jc are shocked by both the invasiveness and irrelevant questions asked by elders.. yet, the shepherd book doesn't seem to indicate requiring this?.
if it is something passed on from one generation of elders to the next, then why does it appear globally?.
where and how does the questioning arise?.
