What to do with the van I bought new

by mamashel in

jw
friends

we bought a van 1 year ago this month.

it is a 1995 chevy conversion van, loaded, high top, tv, vcr and game station.

it is really beautiful.

I, just recently, saw an Oprah show that dealt with financial matters. What was said repeatedly in the show was that if you go to the financial institute you got your loan from...many times you will find that due to "circumstances" they will work with you. They have a vested interest, as do you. All it takes sometimes is talking to the other end. Good luck in this endeaver.

I live in Tucson and I am willing to pick up any right here, and I am willing to go to Phoenix next weekend to pick up any. If I go to Phoenix, it would be nice if someone would be responsible to gather together any lambs and I can meet that person to pick them all up at once. I don't know Phoenix very well so this seems the best way for me to pick them up. Also, if anyone would like to send them to me, you can email me to get my address.

Edited to add email address. [email protected]

JW at Dr's office

by VeniceIT in

today i was sitting in the waiting room to get a check up and the other lady in there is sitting with a bound volume on her lap, studying her km, and she had a lil bible with her.

i think it was in french, not sure i didn't speak to her because i didn't want to affect her blood pressure .

i just felt so sad seeing her sitting there, racing, and instead of being able to relax a bit in the office, she had to sit and study, it kind of made me sick in the stomach thinking about all that running around we had to do.

Same here orbison. In fact, it was "because" I studied so much that I realised the truth about the troof!

Do not forsake the gathering together ?

by KAYTEE in

we feel that "the hand on the shoulder" and "the knock on the door" could be imminent.

question - if we become a christian rather than a jw how do we view hebrews 10:23-25 "do not forsake the gathering of ourselves together....... as the day draws near".

this is a question that is bugging us at the moment.

Matthew 18:20

Jesus said:

"For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst."

About the two beheaded Witnesses

by Kingpawn in

i got to thinking about this at work a couple of nights ago.. a news story said that the two jw's killed weren't (apparently) proselytizing in the phillipines, which is described as a heavily muslim nation.

though they were found with avon products, avon said the two were neither employees nor representatives.. now, why would two jw's be in a heavily muslim land, possibly pretending to be something they're not?

were they just lugging the stuff from place to place for someone as a favor?.

DazedAndConfused

Nathan you may have a point there about the government using 2 very common "faces" going door to door. First, who wouldn't trust someone from Avon? And second, until recently JW's were considered a nuisance but not a threat. And if the governments believe the dribble put out by the watchtower and awakes, they would believe all those rediculous personal stories where jw's have been saved by yelling out Jehovah's name or by simply stating they are jw's. Interesting line of thought that I had never thought of before.
