Something's real wrong. Somebody told me the other night that it cost $3500 for the medical profession to have a little look see up where the sun don't shine. And they recommend if annually if you're over 50? How humanitarian of them.

The PO's daughter, but who got back in 6 months later. Anybody else it took at least a year. In another congo, the PO was deleted but allowed to continue as a pioneer. I always thought that to be deleted you had to do something worthy of being df'd involving a jc.

Do they still do the Friday Night Pre-WT Study???
by Confucious inin the early 90's, all the rage was the pre wt study.. basically, the young witnesses would get together on friday nights to underline their watchtower together.. then afterwards we'd hangout or whatever.. it used to drive me crazy because if you wanted to hang out, basically you would have to sit through another meeting.. granted it was informal, but it was the same dang thing you were going to do again on sunday.. the young ones still doing this today?.

I did it in the mid '90's with old folks, followed by a card game that got pretty intense at times.

Wife has gone back to the Organization...what can I expect??
by Shadow1 inmy wife and i have been married for just over one year.
while we were just dating, she had told me that she used to belong to the jehovah's witnesses, but no longer had those beliefs.
i thought i could handle all of this (i am a non- believer), but she has since got back to the org (all her family belong as well).

Just be aware that she is under control and is absolutely loyal to a group of non-existent people called the FDS that is claimed to be represented by the Governing Body and all whom they appoint as their enforcers aka elders. She considers Jehovah her real husband although she is instructed to be a good wife to you. But you are now two different animals.

Deceiving new Bible studies. The stunning craftiness of WTBT again.
by hamsterbait inhas anybody still got copies of the old "truth" book, the "live forever " book, and "bible teach" book?.
i threw them out, and regret it now because a sudden chilling realization came to me posting on another thread:.
do you remember how in the 70s we were told to encourage the new study to compare what the nwt says with what is in his own bible?

Fed Makes Emergency 0.75% Rate Cut
The Federal Reserve, responding to an international stock sell-off and the likelihood of a sharp drop in America on Tuesday morning, cut its benchmark interest rate by three-quarters of a percentage point.
The Federal Open Market Committee lowered its target for the federal funds rate on overnight loans between banks to 3.5 percent, from 4.25 percent.
In a statement, the Fed said: “The committee took this action in view of a weakening of the economic outlook and increasing downside risks to growth. While strains in short-term funding markets have eased somewhat, broader financial market conditions have continued to deteriorate and credit has tightened further for some businesses and households.”
“Moreover,” the statement continued, “incoming information indicates a deepening of the housing contraction as well as some softening in labor markets.”
In a related action, the Fed approved a 75 basis-point decrease in the discount rate, to 4 percent.
Within minutes after the announcement, trading in stock-index futures, which had been presaging a deep slide on American stock exchanges Tuesday, retraced much of their earlier declines, which had been driven by a second sour day in Asia and Europe.
Stock markets across Asia plunged even farther and faster on Tuesday than they had on Monday, as anxious sellers dumped huge numbers of shares on worries that an economic slowdown in the United States could drag down growth around the world.
The European stock markets initially followed their Asian counterparts lower, plunging at the opening and then see-sawing back and forth in frenzied trading as investors looked to the start on Wall Street for direction. After the Fed announcement, they had made up those losses and moved into positive territory. But the rate cut was too late for Asian markets, which had already closed.
A decade after a credit crisis in Southeast Asia triggered an “Asian contagion” of stock market declines around the world, the credit crisis in the United States is now producing an “American contagion” to which no stock market seems immune.
Heavy selling hit each Asian and European stock market as soon as it opened. Some of Asia’s easternmost exchanges, which had closed on Monday before the sharpest declines occurred in India and then Europe, suffered particularly steep drops.
The Japanese stock market dropped 5.7 percent, for the worst two-day loss in 17 years, while the Australian stock market tumbled 7.1 percent, its worst single-day loss in nearly two decades. The Shanghai market lost 7.2 percent while the Hang Seng index in Hong Kong plummeted 8.7 percent.
