Samson and the Archers, why not?
by VM44 indidn't the philistines possess bow and arrows during the time of samson?
samson was unbeatable in hand to hand combat.
he wiped out an entire army using only the jawbone of an ass, so why didn't the philistines simply get 20 or more archers, have them surround samson, and then simultaneously let loose a volley of arrows?

how do you handle relatives questions on your jw status?
by atpeace ini was curious how others handled the questions like - so, when is your convention, how many publishers do you have now, etc.
these questions always come up with the once a year visit to jw relatives.
