Kingdom Hall library
by Zico ini attended the meeting tonight.
i've been able to get out of most of the meetings this year, as i've been busy at work, and studying for work exams.
i went tonight, because i told my brother i'd go last week, since he was giving his first no.

Circuit Assembly 2006
by Zico ini've got my circuit assembly coming next week... which i'll have to attend.
i know that these are generally held around march/april, so i'm sure some posters must have been to the 2006 one?
i remember reading a lot of reviews about the district convention, and it was great to know what would be discussed before i went!

Talented Witnesses
by Zico indid anyone know any witnesses who were really talented at something and gave it up in order to 'put jehovah first'?
i find it really sad that the watchtower society can restrict such talented people from fulfilling their dreams in order to chase those empty promises of a paradise earth, in a similar way that they stop intelligent people from going on to higher education.
in my congregation there is a really skilled football (soccer) player.

Some things I'm having trouble understanding
by Zico inaccording to wt doctrine, the faithful and discreet slave is the whole 144,000... correct?
and the 144,000 includes many first-century christians, including all the apostles, and also russell?
but jesus appointed the organisation as the faithful and discreet slave in 1919?

Armageddon to come soon?
by Zico ini've been doing some research about the 1935 date when jehovah supposedly stopped choosing anointed ones.
to me, there seems to be a major problem with this teaching, that the governing body or your general members don't seem to have picked up on.

Brazilian Grand Prix
by Zico inanyone watching this today?
alonso's in a good position today, starting in 4th place, with schumacher dropping to 10th due to an engine failure in qualifying.
schumacher has to win and hope alonso retires or finishes outside the top 8 in order to win, which is unlikely, he'll be retiring after this race.

607 - What Russell taught.
by Zico ini was wondering if someone could clarify what russell taught about 1914, as i'm not completely sure.
so, he first taught that jesus became king in heaven in 1874, and that armageddon would come in 1914?
he started teaching the date came from 606, and changed this to 1915 when he realised there was no 0 c.e?
