I Swear, The Ancient Way
by _Atlas ina little internet search revealed people acknowledging the fact that this was an ancient indo-european custom but shuffling about the latter meanings in latin of the word testis, testify, testicles.
does the bible implies this was the case in these passages?
was this a custom on the ancient times?.

"Faith On The March" And How The WT Faked It's Demand.
by Englishman inback in the 50's, much play was made by brooklyn about ah macmillans book entitled "faith on the march".
published by prentice-hall, it's the only time that i've ever known the wt openly advertise a product that was supposedly not of it's own making.
interestingly, all uk congregations received a letter from the wt with a request to every active publisher.

UnderCover
by LouBelle ini feel so absolutely 'wicked' sometimes 'cos my cousin who works with me & is a witness needs to usually get to the files behind me & he sees when i'm on here and he's pretty inquisitive but not to the extent that he'd actually come on here - he asked if this was related to the societies site & i was like - yeah it does in a way - a lot of people come on here and air their views.
so now everytime he comes toward me i hit the minimise key & play at some work (though i am his boss).. i feel like i'm going undercover - shame i just don't want to hurt the boys' feelings.
though in our little chat the other day i was joking around and said that i was preping him for when he get's disfellowshipped.. i'm the b a d cousin

faith
by susej inin the hall at biggleswade bedfordshire is a ministerial servant who has abused his younger brother and sister .
this is a fact and because one of them will not come forward he remains a servent.
wake up.. by mixing only with witnesses and having 3 meetings a week plus saterday on the service your brains become tired in .

back in the good old days
by katiekitten inwhen i was a kid in the 1970,s there werent as many rules at kingdom hall.
one of the greatest things was that for some reason, if you were below the age of 15 then micro mini dresses with long white socks were considered entirely appropriate dress.
i have a photo of me and my two cousins at kingdom hall in 1977. one cousin was 4, i was 7 and the other was 10. the hems of our dresses all ended at the same point, despite the fact that cousin no 2 was twice as high as cousin no 1, meaning that the younger we were the shorter the dresses we were allowed to wear.

Just Like A Blizzard Hit
by prophecor inyou know the people who are out and about after a major snowstorm, the ones who have to be out?
well that's what it's like out here in the streets of philthydelphia, anyone who is driving, is doing it because they have to, not because they want to.
the traffic is sparse as opposed to late.
