Interesting post zarco,
You seem to have some close contact with the higher ups.
Love to hear more.
Soon the GB will ride around in a bullet proof car like the pope.
jesus preached to the lost.
his ministry focused on crowds that he felt pity for.
he witnessed to tax collectors, prostitutes, samaritans and the crowds.

At Christian meetings, for example, it is easy to allow our mind to wander or to dwell on what we might do later. Instead, we should pay attention to what is said and think of ways to make personal application of the information so that we can improve our relationship with our heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and with our fellow Christians.
They actually know how boring their material is so they added this primer in the begining of the article.
Jay dubs are some of the most materialistic people on the planet imo.

to me, the picture posted below is one of the - if not the - most significant images i've seen so far in my life.
as i was growing up (a jw), i was taught that the universe was in perfect harmony.
Maybe there aren't any hot galaxies in the vicinity?
Maybe the galaxy needs a black hole?
OK I'm done.

Can God create a galaxy he can not destroy?
Can God create a collision he can not control?
Can God create an ocean he can not swim across?
Ninja, that galaxy needs some viagra.

that galaxy looks like a guys tackle

Two perfectly created galaxies colliding perfectly. If I was God I might want to try that.
If you want to use the argument that when space stuff collides this proves God's work isn't perfect,
just look up at the moon.
cool pic though.
excellent points, blueviceroy.
We must act to-geth-er as one.
In-de-pen-dence, wisel-y we shun.
Har-mo-ny and one-ness of mind
Bring peace of the rar-est kind.
U - ni - ty re-wards us so well - With Je - ho - vah God we thus dwell.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yearbook 75 p.223-224 witness couple and their 6 day old cheryl, who needed blood.
"darell and rhoda correctly viewed blood transfusion as a violation of god's law, and thus oposed it.
they were concerned about the babies welfare, for everlasting life is only the prospect of those adhering to god's laws.
The best option is;
Take the blood save your life then ask forgiveness.
I know 2 people who have done this. Everything worked out great for them.
The only way this won't work is if you believe taking blood is an unforgiveable sin.
arent we thankful for our assembly halls though these brothers look very happy and content.. .

Aren’t we thankful for our assembly halls though these brothers look very happy and content.

I only post this stuff from the e-mail I get because I want to share the insanity. lol
my husband and i have been inactive for almost 8 months.
we haven't gone to a meeting and slowly our jw friends have stopped associating with us because we're "weak".
at some point, we'll be celebrating holidays.
He is always angry around that time of year because there are so many evil bastards celebrating Christmas.
My dad and mom said " ha, look at all these stupid people who put out lights on their houses they are making it real easy for Jehovah to know who to destroy."
My response "what if it's the other way around and Jehovah destroys the people who don't recognize Jesus's birthday"
Jehovah is always looking for a reason to utterly destroy people and feed his birds. lol
do you remember all the publications in the 1950-1960's pictures showing a jesus clean shaven with short hair???.
watch.
1954 p.511 "why do watchtower books now show jesus with short hair and no beard?
This is my standard form letter that I send out to ignorant JW's about beards
For the first approximately 10 years during his leadership of the Bible Students, Rutherford would praise CTR and even stated that he was leading the movement personally while being "beyond the vail"( from the heavens after his death). So for a time the Judge promoted remembering CTR to retain followers and to not rock the boat. Rutherford did this because as a smart business man he knew if he had not praised CTR at the very beginning, the society would lose even more followers those who were still loyal to CTR.
As time past rutherford established himself without question as the spiritual leader and president of the society. Like first century christians though who followed different brothers like Apollos or Paul, there were brothers at Bethel who still looked to CTR as their spiritual leader and held him and his teachings in very high esteem.
Rutherford was well aware that many male members of the Bible students emulated CTR by growing long beards. It was at this time that the Judge decided it was time to get the brothers to forget CTR. He didn't want creature worship of the founder of JW's or him becoming an icon. He began a slow and careful plan to get CTR out of the consciousness of the Bible Students. The Judge thus ruled that beards were "out" in the Bethel families. He cut off the beards of Jesus, and Adam in WTS illustrations. All of the sudden, naturally recurring male facial hair was "un-Theocratic." Brothers were even told they couldn’t grow a mustache unless they wanted to lose there "privileges." The Bethe rules trickled down to the congregation and the rest is history.
The funny thing is if you ask A jw why you can't grow a beard there usual reponse is we don't want to be associated with the hippie movement or uncleaness of the 60's.They don't even realize that the beard ban was made way before then. Matter of fact it wasn't until the 70's that the mustache rule was relaxed this being because of the great popularity of facial hair in the 60's and 70's.
