by TheListener infrom the 2005 cdrom there are plenty of references to russia being the king of the north.

How long has it been "the time of the end" ?
by lost_light06 inthis question crossed my mind last night.
i wonder, people in the "dark ages", who were many times under tremendous oppression religiously, politically, monetarily, etc., did they believe they were in the the time of the end?
it was mentioned in a post above that people today, especially in the west, live much better lives than in times past.

Was Jesus sacrifice really a sacrifice?
by jambon1 ini would like to state firstly that i in no way intend to offend anyone.. its just when i was in the org i had major problems with the blood issue/death because of persecution.
many times we were taught that god does`nt ask us to do anything that he has`nt done himself.
now imagine everything the bible says about jesus really did happen.

Patrol of the kingdom hall property.
by mdb inout of curiosity, does the kingdom hall make a habit of sending a pair of men out to patrol thier building during weekly studies?
once a week there are certain individuals who walk around a certain kingdom hall to pray against the organization and for the salvation of those inside.
almost like clockwork, at 8pm two well dressed jw men walk around the building once.

by truthseeker innot many people will have faced this situation, but i know at least one brother who was counselled on backpacking.
