The Governing Body said it ... are you ready !!!!!!!!!!!!
by run dont walk ini was at a funeral this weekend, the first time i'd been in a kingdom hall in 13 years, the talk was short about a half hour, and all jw stuff as expected, but the one part of the talk made me laugh, the speaker said :.
"we (a group of elders), had the oppourtunity to speak with a member of the governing body at the assembly, and he said : "we the governing body are confident that armageddon is close, and are ready for jehovah's day, are you ready ???"".
i couldn't believe my ears, they will never learn.

Katrina Relief Quickbuilds
by roflcopter inso i had a jw friend stay at my house the past few days after getting back from doing a couple months of work in new orleans on quickbuilds.
he told me all about whats going on there, etc.
but one thing really ticked me off, and its amazing the money the wts is making offa this.. from what he told me is the wts is quickbuilding new homes for all the jw's who lost their homes in the hurricane and collecting the insurance payments that the homeowners recieve.

IS/ WAS YOUR CONGREGATION LIKE MY CURRENT ONE?
by enlightenedcynic inin the congregation i currently attend with my die-hard witness wife and my two kids, the p.o.
is a lame duck elder whom no one really respects or goes to for any counsel, advice, etc.
another elder(lives at bethel) has taken to flirting with a local sister who is seperated but not divorced from her husband.
