Changed: Head coverings for sisters, w15 2/15 QFR

by wifibandit in

does a female kingdom publisher need to wear a head covering if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher?.

in a questions from readers item published in the watchtower of july 15, 2002, it was stated that a sister should cover her head if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher, whether he is baptized or not.

further consideration of the matter suggests that a modification to this direction is appropriate.. if the male publisher who accompanies the sister while she conducts an established bible study is baptized, the sister would certainly want to wear a head covering.

I wonder what Lucy has to say about head coverings -- er, napkins.

"down in his back" is an expression I hear on occasion, referring to someone with back pain. I've lived in south Arkansas for nearly 30 years.

can you imagine if you were called into the back room, then giving that kind of answer to one of their kangaroo jc questionings?.

what's good for the goose is not good for the gander.

Right on, Stuckinarut2: If any of us even THOUGHT of using some of the lines he used, either in a talk, or an answer, or in a JC, then we would be strung up and accused of being "self-willed" !

Zone Visit: An Announcement That Will "Test Your Faith"

Trial Balloon.

Noun[edit]

trial balloon (plural trial balloons)

(idiomatic) An idea, suggestion, or prospective action, product, etc. offered to an audience or group in order to test whether it generates acceptance or interest.

I believe one of the reasons for this meeting, where some 3/4 million sheeples were all listening to the same thing -- economics! Just think of the $$$ that can be saved to, in turn, place it into a contribution box. Little travel and lodging, large hall and parking rentals. Perhaps most important -- consistency of message -- where speakers in various geographical areas can't inject their own agenda between the lines of the prepared script. Recall the now embarrasing "Alive in '75" rants back in the day? All spouted from District Assembly gatherings.

Based on this trial balloon, or test, future large gatherings can be planned. One thing that may be lacking is the interaction of the sheeples at the larger gatherings -- but they can partially satisfy that via technology. Using between-sessions video moments of those in attendance (not necessarily live, but captured snippetss for later display) and displayed by large UHD LED monitors, I can hear the oohs and aahhs now. "Isn't the Society making wonderful use of our money?"

This is one of the most profoundthreads in a long time. We've learnEd so much about the Atlantis group, their background -- their generosity.

Can you tell us more about that BOE master list? I would be on that list during the mid 70s. I guess that it includes congregation city and state (if USA)? How about other positions -- ministerial servants, bethelites, circuit and district overseers, gilead grads?

We on JWN would love to hug y'all and shake your collective hands.

"Ebola is not spread through the air" -- CDC. Yeah, right!

by FatFreek 2005 in

somehow, i don't have a warm fuzzy feeling when i keep hearing from the center of disease control, "ebola is not spread through the air ...".

ever sneezed?

the famous myth busters had a revealing show on the power of the sneeze anecdotally it has a velocity of some 35 miles per hour and travels a distance of some 30 feet.. ever traveled in the close confines of an air liner?

Is CDC ready to redefine protocol for Ebola protection to include hermetically sealing of patient?

Five Days Ago!
"The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said there was 'clearly' a breach in protocol that led to a Texas health care worker contracting Ebola after treating a Liberian man who later died from the virus, although authorities do not yet know what that breach was."
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-chief-on-second-ebola-case-there-was-a-breach-in-protocol/

Today -- no break in protocol?
Dr. Daniel Varga of Texas Health Resources told ABC Chief Health and Medical Editor Dr. Richard Besser. "We have no indication that Nina or Amber had any break in protocol," he said. "We were working with the best information we had. In retrospect, would we have liked to hermetically seal them so this didn't happen? Absolutely."
http://www.dailynews724.com/new-york/ebola-nurse-called-texas-health-officials-before-flight-uncle-h274624.html

So, now it's possible that hermitically sealing the patient may become the latest in protocol modification?

Recall what a hermetic seal is?
"A hermetic seal has the quality of being airtight."
