  i'm from jamaica, montego bay to be exact.

  if there are other jamaicans here, feel free to let me know.. with that said, it was announced at our last meeting (a letter was read) that the branch office (bethel) in kingston would be closing, and affairs would soon be directed from us hq.

  now the branch office here is a large compound built on acres of prime real estate.

  Prayers that are heard. Fuel for a vehicle - YUP. Save us from death - NAH.

  by Captain Blithering in

  i spoke to a ms the other day, trying to get his opinion on the wt we'd just studied at the meeting.

  the paragraph where the co didn't know if he had enough money to afford gas for a trip, he prayed and went anyway, and someone donated the exact amount to cover his trip.. my question to the ms was - the wt clearly are saying jah answered that prayer, yet there were a couple dozen jw's sheltering in a kh in the philippines, undoubtedly praying, yet they all died in the hurricane.

  how's that work, how can jah answer some prayers but not others?.

  That's deep. Thanks for sharing. Eternity goes hand in hand with space and time. Whatever that means...

  See, in WT/FDS/GB Theology:

  Russell = John The Baptist

  FDS = Modern-day Jesus

  so the new jan wt article on "100 years of kingdom rulehow does it affect you?

  " is up, which i think has its own thread.

  but over on jwr poster cg4205 has noticed something that demands a seperate thread i think.. at the top of the article, in the can you answer box, it says:.

  "...Bible prophecies proved conclusively that Jesus Christ had begun to rule in heaven as King of God’s Kingdom in 1914. By enthroning his Son as the Messianic King, Jehovah had, indeed, become King in a new sense!"

  So, if a king makes another person a king, the first king becomes king in another way? Crazy.

  cheese lover here.

  i don't post much, so refresher course: i've been dating an unbaptized jw for years.

  he's not super into jwism and probably never will be because he thinks a lot of it is a pile of poo.. .

  dead last in math and falling in other categories.. zerohedge announced this morning that the chinese yuan just passed the euro in trade finance globally.

  And, because China is a manufacturing powerhouse and I assume they get much of their cash from that industry, I would like to see what happens if companies start pulling the manufacturing out of China and take it somewhere. Would China be able to breath by itself???
