The 'Next' Generation ?
by ArtfulDodger incan anyone refute or confirm the rumour that flagging fashion clothing company 'next' has brokered a lucrative deal with the uk org to outfit the fs foot soldiers ?
word on the rialto is that it was a close run thing between 'next' and 'fcuk' - the latter having fallen at the last hurdle only because of the org's general disbelief in the level of literacy of their intended audience.
in the city, 'next' shares are tipped to rise - if only on the basis that, should the deal go through, the company believe they will have additional free advertising in dubs mags as the word 'next' appears so often.

Predications for 1925
by golden age infreqently when witnessing to witnesses they claim that the 1925 predictions were only a probability and not a certainty.
however review of the original material proves other wise apperently in the watchtower, october 1, 1984, p. 24 there is an admission the rutherford made a fool of himself with these predictions.
does anyone have a jpg scan of the watchtower, october 1, 1984, p. 24 that they could post.

Why do they walk so slowly?
by helios ini have only to turn into any road or street and if there are any jws operating within my area of vision i can pick them out.. it may only be something that occurs in uk but they actually walk at half speed.
yet if i see any local jw in the town shopping they fly along, except the very old ones.
we are in the end of the end time.

Circuit Overseer visit ---- Why do we have to change the meeting schedule??
by catchthis inthis has always been a personal thorn in my side for years upon years.
let's say that your meetings took place on monday-wednesday and that other congregations had the tuesday-thursday slot.
let's also assume that you just happened to go to the mon-wed meetings due to personal circumstances and that tue-thur meetings were not possible.. now here comes da man on his bi-yearly visit.

Everlasting Life--The Carrot Put Before the Public
by blondie ini was looking over the article just before next sunday's study article.. taking in knowledge now and forever.
the attraction is living forever.. a few statements show the trend of the article.. a compelling reason to be selective about knowledge is that our present life span is so shrt.. you realize that you will simply not live long enough to do so.. could a field of knowledge be available that will prolong life significantly, even forever?.
please read the next article, which will offer you the prospect of taking in knowledge forever.. still, he does not promise his readers that they could literally live forever.. however, there is one kind of knowledge that does promise everlasting life.. conversely, if you did live forever, you could take in useful knowledge forever.. john 17:3. let us first define the term "everlasting life.".

WTS and charity?

A decent and viable substitute for the WTS
by greendawn inlet's suppose that a large number of ex jws decided to get together and set up a new religious entity to provide any spiritual benefits, that were provided by the wts but as we all know in an exploitative and destructive way.
in a devious way much bitterness was added to whatever benefit they gave.
what would your suggestions be in the way of forming such an entity?

Stupid Analogies/Illustrations/examples you hear dubs say over and over
by doodle-v inwhat are some stupid analogies that you here dubs use all the time to explain their faulty, destructing teachings?
or maybe ones you've used in the past that when you think about them now, make you cringe?.
here are a few that come to mind:.
