All I know is our nordic saying that joy without booze is affectation and so is sorrow with it.

I may well have expressed my view poorly, in which case I regret possible damages. Earlier messages reflected somewhat clearly the idea that one (i.e. pious dub) should not miss meetings, field and lip service and all that goes with it. That added to the fact that the borg does utmost to promote full time preaching brought up my memories from 30 yrs back. It seems that the experiences (how true they may be) try to uphold the idea that pioneering is the only way to go.
Irony is not the easiest form art - especially if one do not master the lingo.

If my memory is serving me at all then just attending or actually returning from a religious cult's meeting is not any safeguard at all. Was it in NY or where but a dub sister was shot dead at the bus stop.
If anyone ever believe in these stories distributed by the borg, it is always a pioneer that do receive money from heaven etc. So in dire need of a safeguard against wordly habit of dying at an instance of a random accident - pioneer.

"Here's a hint, learn to count in binary and you'll get the joke."
I feel I rather need to learn the different ways of orthography.

There are only 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.
It is off the topic, but I could not resist. I have had the illusion that binary is only two ways about it. Hexadecimal group might well consist of 16 people not mentioning the binary coded decimal group of ten.
But then again I might be the eleventh.

A while ago I saw mention about baby shower and (as a native finn) I had no idea what was the meaning of the words. Now my diligent study led to the obvious. Would be interesting to know what this baby shower is all about?
I feel that it is something we did not have by time time I was df'd over thirty yrs ago.

The extent of JW preaching world wide
by Haereticus ini 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?

w65 9/15 575-6 Questions from Readers is closer to what I was after. Also it may well be that my memory is influenced by speeches etc. Thank you for your effort, it is truly appreciated.

Thank you for good quotations which do show the inevitable. However my memories are about ten years before W62, but I might well be mistaken or whatever. Anyway the real playground for JW's is a fraction of world's population and even so the losing of grip is obvious.

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