if he knows all
by abuttercup ini have often wondered..... they say jehovah is the begining and the end, and that he can read every heart.
if so, did he not know eve would eat the fruit and then adam would follow?
did he not know satan would try to pull his weight?

What was the Average Attendence at your Kingdom Hall?
by jayhawk1 ini don't think we ever had more than 75 for an average attendence at the local kingdom hall.
i was driving by there the other day when the thursday meeting was going on and it appears based on the cars that there is still about 75 people attending.
when i drive by churches of similar size [meaning the church building is about the same size (square footage) as a normal kingdom hall] there seems to me many more people, perhaps 110 or more attending.. i'm just curious if it seems to be a practice to keep jw congregations to around 75 to 100 people or not.

Crackdown on Marriages
by sammielee24 inthe latest rumblings are that the wtbts may start coming down hard on anyone who marries outside the faith.
jw's who choose to marry a non believer will be df'd.
i would imagine those marrying unbaptized ones will be marked or told to get the spouse baptized or get df'd.

JW Weddings
by Jeffro inat every jw wedding i ever went to, the celebrant has always said without fail that "the bride and groom have requested that no rice or confetti be thrown".. is this spiel used everywhere?
is it actually a request of the bride and groom, or is it just bombastically imposed by the elders (i.e.
a lie)?.
