  How did you feel when the expression "by extension" was used when discussing scriptures?

  by stillstuckcruz in

  i really had a hard time accepting certain scriptures as being an "extension" to modern-day jw's.

  examples:.

  ip-2 cp6 pg87 paragraph 87: "for gods exiled people in babylon, those words are an assurance that the promised land will not remain desolate.

  No Watchtower Magazines

  by JH in

  .

  often in the past, after missing many months of meetings, i just showed up at the hall, and i had such a hard time finding a watchtower magazine, just to follow the study.. even elders were trying to find one for me, and sometimes there was just one left, and often there was none, so i remember being given one from a witness who decided to follow with his spouse in her magazine.. what i'm getting to is that they don't have tons of magazines at the hall, just there waiting for some newbie to show up.. i wonder why they go door to door, if they can't even have a couple of spare watchtower magazines incase a stranger just showed up...

  Aussies/Canadians of JWD most laid back~

  by FlyingHighNow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking today, i've been here at jwd for nearly three years now.

  i've observed that our aussie members are the most laid back members on the board here.they don't take their country, their politics or anything too seriously really.

  people who are from europe tend to be more laid back than the brits and americans.
