i have a feeling that tens of years ago jw's had the idea that matt.
24:14 preaching work was understood to cover literally places like china, india etc.
todays trend and figures do not really support this interpretation and i wonder what is the "present truth" about the expected extent of preaching work?

This is closely related to the survival doctrine of the living at Armageddon.

the latest question from readers shows a picture of kids playing poker for pennies.
the bottom line: christians don't do this.it endangers spirituality.
"christians who enjoy board or card games as recreation would be better advised to keep a penciled score or to play the game simply for fun without keeping score.
Just to remind you that these are by no means new rules. Even counting points in order to win over the other was discouraged 50 years ago.
below is a list of 25 wt books, that all have 192 pages...how is it.
possible, that books with such different themes all have 192 pages?.
1967 did man get here by evolution or by creation?
Most common impositions are 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 pages. Signatures after folding may be for example 32, 48, 64, 80 and 96 pages and a book may consist of any multiple.

if all we have to worry about is nonexistence, then why worry about anything?

as you may already know, i own the internet domain "watchtower.ca" (note, ".ca" stands for canada).
if you go to www.watchtower.ca (thinking it might be the bethel canada site, which it would be if non-idiots were working at bethel canada) you are redirected to http://quotes.jehovahswitnesses.com (heh heh heh).. but it gets better: any email sent to <anybody>@watchtower.ca gets sent to me ([email protected]).. i just thought i would solicit your comments on the email i received via this method.
it appearst that brian andersen was forwarding some information from his private home email address to his work email address.

my husband's sister is shunning us, mind you we have not been df'd...we just stopped attending meetings and my husband told his mom and sister he doesn't believe it is the truth.
that is not what irks me, that is to be expected i guess.
what just irks the heck out of me is that she sent my father in law over (he is not a witness) over our house with her car and asked my husband to change her oil and also put in a new water pump.
After I was being DF'd started to work with a new line of equipment. An elder I used to know had this equipment in his enterprise. Somehow the rumour had gone around and he phoned me and asked me to do a favour for him. I did pay a visit and he saved some.
**it happens.
local paper had today a large picture of serena williams and it clearly shows that she has a piercing in her belly.
i was left wondering if she would be allowed to turn in preaching time by wearing a watchtower logo charm?
understanding, of course, one problem being the missing lenght of her skirt.

If I am not mistaken Michael Jackson was attending the same congo?

...or any male who has lorded it over you or p***ed you off in any way.. there is a classic scene in the red dwarf episode better than life where the taxman accosts rimmer with the words:.
"mr rimmer?".
"mr arnold judas rimmer?".
I tried it and it works, even after thirty plus years.
Thanks Mark
