Flood help in reasoning book.
by bother_forever inwhen going door to door at a young age, the topic concerning the flood would from time to time arise, when i first encountered this topic with a "knowledgeable" householder i knew i needed fire power and fast.
it was when opening the "reasoning on the scriptures" book that i knew i would find something to not only amaze the householder with a fact that could not be argued with, but i would re affirm my faith and be happy, etc etc.
there was nothing, no flood heading, after pointing this out to a few bro&sis that our main weapon in the field seemed to lack some fire power in this subject i was told that it was not a neccessary subject for the society to have it in such a book.

A big problem for JW's in the UK?
by Jim Dee infrom the sky news web site - 23.06.05giving the cold shoulderdoorstep salesmen who cold-call are to be targeted with the launch of a new scheme banning them from certain areas.
residents who feel harassed by their tactics will work with police to create no-entry zones for them under a plan by the trading standards institute.. .
the no-go zones could cover anything from a street to an entire estate and will also help combat so-called "distraction burglaries", which have been linked to cold-calling.. persistent doorstep sellers would then be reported to the authorities for follow-up action.. ron gainsford, chief executive of the institute, said: "people are sick and tired of uninvited doorstep callers.

Women ??? Are they moving up ???
by run dont walk inatteneded a catholic wedding on the weekend, it was strange, but nice, i don't know much of the catholic beliefs, talk was about an hour including hymns and songs and prayers, overall i thought it was well done.. one thing that caught my attention, the pastor giving the talk stepped down several times, and sat off to the side, as some women, read scriptures and talked to the audience (they were not nuns, all dressed as you would to go to a wedding), i was pleasantly surprised, i mean they had the whole stage and talked quite effectively, the pastor was very humble and praised the women for the job they did.
are times changing in the religions ????.
we all know this would never happen at the kingom hall.
