just curious.
Paying more and getting less due to higher deductibles and co-pays.
The open enrollment form actually said due to changes from the affordable care act blah blah blah......
It has something to do with spouse coverage and new life partner stuff.
sooooooo an extra $1300.00/ year of my money is going ??????????
Plus there is the normal % increase didn't bother figuring it out, nothing I can do about it anyway.
I use my wifes coverage and waive my coverage.
Thanks B. O. you stink!!!!!
hope this isnt a repost.
i tried to search a little but didn't see this anywhere.
does anybody know where the philadelphia region of witnesses are going to be sent to this year?
I'm guessing it has to be either Citizens bank or Lincoln Financial arenas.
The article states:
In 2014 the Jehovah's Witnesses will replace the regional conventions with
international gatherings held in the U.S. The conventions will take place in NFL
stadiums that can seat 60,000 to 80,000, much more than Santander Arena's
capacity of about 9,000.
That's according to local officials, who said
Friday it will just be a one-year change, with the mid-Atlantic conventions set
to return in 2015 and beyond.
That's quite a positive article for the JW's.
Reading is so financially broke, they even have to suck up to the JW's.
I'm from the Allentown area.
never become enraged against jehovah.
(watchtower study 7-13 october).
paragraph 4.
It's the same old song and dance, just dressed up a bit.
Par. 4 Do not miss meetings.
Par. 11 Do not complain about field service or our predictions of the end.
Par. 15 Do not question the WTS authority from Jehovah.
If you do any of these things you are becoing enraged at Jehovah.
They want all the glory of being Jehovah's leaders but none of the responsibility.
It truly does make one want to vomit !
having trouble getting video to post sorry..hope the link works.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bhl-x1u0cua .

And what about William Miller?
Good point.
I believe msn got their information from National Geographic there was a small subtitle on the video.
This is also from N.G.
Since its founding in the 1870s, the Jehovah's Witnesses, a Christian offshoot, had prophesied that the world would end in 1914 (above, a Jehovah's Witness family hangs posters in the 1930s).
Though nothing of the sort happened in 1914, ever since then, the religion's followers have been predicting that the world will end "shortly," according to the 1997 book Apocalypse Delayed: The Story of Jehovah's Witnesses
guess who made the list.. http://msnvideo.msn.com/?channelindex=4&from=en-us_msnhp#/video/cc8e43f3-af2b-42db-bec1-c6c41eb68286.

why do the some bethelites love to talk about the black mamba?
the answer is simple... fear.. have you heard about the "black mamba"?
yes, the "black mamba" and no, not kobe bryant, but the most poisonous snake known to man.. there was a big roar of laughter from some in the audience.. .
FEAR is the Watchtowers friend !
Jehovah created these poisonous snakes so that in the noo system they can
paralyze fruits and vegetables so they can eat.
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
did you ever volunteer/visit bethel back when you were in the borg?
at the time, it opended my eyes as i saw a lot of red flags.
for instance, volunteers were kept so busy without reasonable accomodations that everyone became in a robotic-zombie state of compliance with an unreasonably strict fast pased schedule.
I visted Brooklyn about 30 times and the farm twice.
I rememeber my brother taking us in to see the governing bodies offices after every one was gone.
(very taboo and privledged)
I felt like I was walking into the most holy of the holy in the tabernacle. LOL
With Bethel leaving Brooklyn I have a question,
in NYC they had ample congregations to divy up all the bethelites throughout the NYC boroughs.
Now that they are moving to rural upstate NY where will all these bethelites go to attend meetings?
Bethelite only congregations?
Won't this just create a more isolated ivory tower of holy bethelites and annointed if they have their own seperate congregations?
Does the Watchtower have a first , second , and third world country version of these videos? I wonder if Caleb wears his helmet to the meeting?
todaay's wt study mentioned jah's reasonableness when lot requested to go flee to zoar, instead of flight to the mountains.. jah had accomodated lot's request, and the city that was doomed to be destroyed got spared.
why can't we expect god to change his mind for the end of this system of things?
why can't we request the salvation for those that are df'd or da'd?
Who are JW's enemy ??
The dreaded apostate of course!
Get ready to be loved if your an apostate .
Don't hold your breath.
You have heard that it was said, you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you
bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
"But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
