Honesty ...
.... awesome translation. you should tackle the issue of the watchtower.
can anyone here point me in the direction of a copy of the talk or booklet online that can be printed?
i have a relative still 'in' that might accept that the 'food at the proper time' was missing here!
i think i used to have a copy of the booklet 40 years ago - but it is long gone.

i just got my hands on a copy of my book of bible stories ... (1978).
at first i was excited when a friend pulled it out of his bag, said he'd gotten it as a kid.
then i started flipping through, looking at the pictures, feeling the memories spin in my brain.
A friend of mine told me that an elder said to him, "I've noticed that all the elders in the congregation are doing well financially, because they put Jehovah first.
Kay ... sounds like the birth of an apostate to me ...
a friend of mine told me that an elder said to him, "i've noticed that all the elders in the congregation are doing well financially, because they put jehovah first.
they have nice cars and big homes.if you put jehovah first, he will take care of you financially.".
i don't believe god does this kind of thing - otherwise, why are there so many poor elders in developing countries who can't even afford a bicycle to get around?

ROFLMAO! ..... That's the funniest thing I've read all day. Now we all know that liars and connivers are the ones who control billion dollar publishing empires.
don't feel the least bit guilty about criticising the watchtower or posting here!
never forget that the watchtower could.
eliminate nearly all 'apostate' opposition - if it cared to do so - merely by reforming this cold, legalistic cult that they've built.. if the watchtower really cared for it's young people - if it really took care of its aged - if it really bothered to emphasize bible.
Great post Met ...
I couldn't agree more.

for me it is the theme to "pink panther" - by henry mancinni i think - i always visualize a lanky pink panther slinking across the room and hiding from inspector clouseou (sp.

Valis: *Sings "We Are jehovah's Witnesses" for Leo*
It all came rushing back ....

THE CARPENTERS ....

awake!
published the article "do others do your thinking?
It's amazing the org can even print such crap with a straight face.
It's like butt-f*cking someone .... while pontificating about the sin of sodomy.
you don't automatically wake up with a headache on sunday morning.... you no longer go around (while in field service) mentally deciding what home you'll "have" after armaggedon.... every item of clothing you buy as a woman is not first assessed for its modesty value.... you no longer worry about the 144,000 watching you have sex...:).
when on holiday you don't have to find the nearest kingdom hall asap (remember brother and sisters you are not on holiday from jehovah!!!).
being able to laugh about having a numb ass at the assemblies from sitting and the hilarity in having to tell people that you found the meeting "uplifting" when really you were fighting sleep the whole time.... you no longer have to avoid entire sections of music stores in order to make sure you don't pick up and "demonistic" vibes from backmasked cd's.
xjw_b12: You know you're NOT a JW anymore when..... you've come to accept gay people.
LOL ...
and you really know you're not JW when you start sleeping with gay people.
howdy folks.
as i geoscienists i am also interested in these old large scale eruptions such as the toba eruption that occurred some 74,000 years ago.
below geologists discuss the potential for an eruption at yellowstone, another site where we had a super eruption.
Hope everyone finds this science interesting.hawk
Extremely interesting Hawk ... I've marked my calender for the BBC show ...
... i've been a big science buff since i used to conduct Bug experiments in my backyard trying to create a monster. Most just died, but a few escaped from my 'lab' ... so if you see a thirty-foot potato-beetle on the news, give me a heads up.
the other day i was on a site....looking for a certian news clip i had seen where an older news guy get's mad at the news anchor that replaced him on air...anyway a hit came up reading old news anchor and i downloaded it.
after it was done downloading i started playing it.
this guy's handing out things to certain people he calls by name at a press conference.
yeah 74 .... speaking of the 'clean up'.
i remember one brother talking truck loads of bodies and such ....
it's a wonder we're not serial killers ....
