  by dust in

  2. scandals

  in the town of ingelheim am rhein this week there is a "week of creation" (schopfungswoche).

  there are exhibitions, discussions and other things happening.

  one of the organizers is the workgroup "religious communities" (arbeitskreis glaubensgemeinschaften) of the local agenda 21, which is part of a un programme.

  The GB has tried out several things in Germany before rolling them out globally: Public Affairs Office, the distinction between WTS and JW were all firstly introduced in Germany. Working together with other churches could be another test. And the branch office is in the know: a visit to the German branch office is part of the "Creation Week".

  i just realized that 5-28 was my 7th anniversary on jwd.

  my participation has changed over time and most of what i do is the review each week.

  people have come and gone, lots of new names, and some old-timers like me.

  Happy anniversary, blondie. You are the best. Did I mention that 2001 was a great year?

  em and i are really excited, but neither of us have been, so just wondered if anyone here has and can recommend any nice places, or warn of places to stay away from?

  we have some guides, but they don't always give a personal view.. .

  I was in Hungary last year and are to go this year again. Unfortunately Budapest was not so nice to our smaller kids so we were in the capital only for one day. But from what I heard you should definetely try the bathes.

  Yeah, but they invested a lot: major singer, ice skating world champion and Timbaland as producer. I liked Greece better. (No real chance for Germany.)

  The Belgium entry sounded a little annoying to me.

  But Ireland did not make it either:

  Stupid Knorr! Should Witnesses have Sunday school just for kids?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  imagine sitting thru the watchtower study on a sunday with your 6 year old and 9 year old kids....the topic "fornication" the discussion explains how oral sex and touching of genitals is still fornication...why do kids have to sit thru this??

  or the bible reading is about lot having sex with his daughters....this type of thing is not for kids!

  and why should kids be forced to sit quietly while someone drones on for 2 hours?.

  From WTS point of view, it has been one of the major strategical mistakes not to implement anything really child specific in terms of meetings. Even the stuff for kids they come up with is highly inappropriate. They harvest what they sow.

  The End of Circuit Overseers

  by scotsman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is indeed apparently nigh as another poster predicted along with the end of the weekly bs.

  not sure when this should take place but i'm reliably informed by a family member that one of the uk's overseers was talking about it fairly recently.

  reduced to weekend visits by an outside but local elder instead.. i have no further info..
