  i wonder whether the changes are significant.. i also wonder what sort of scholars form the committee now that the alands, metzger, martini and others are gone.

  i guess bart ehrman wasn't invited!.

  Anyone who is competent in Hebrew and Greek would have difficulty remaining a JW, I think.

  my father passed around 9 this morning.

  he'd been in poor health for some time, but it still comes as a shock to have him gone.

  we are going to miss him terribly.

  Whatever happened to luo bou to ? The answer.

  i posted this question a while back ,through hopscotch i was able to get in touch with him.,and we had a phone conversation a little while ago"luo bou to" had a massive stroke in nov .last year and is presently in a nursing home , and is as comfortable as one can be in his circumstance .

  he is paralyzed on his left side and doesnt find it easy to communicate via pc , however i`m sure he would appreciate words of encouragement from freinds on this board as he keeps up to date with whats going on here.

  i had his permission to let you know his circumstances.. i spoke to him on the phone for some time and he has no trouble communicating verbally ,so if their are any, especially in s.e.qld.

  Wow, sorry to hear about the stroke. I was wondering about him cos I enjoyed his posts.

  Hang in there mate, do your physio and don't perve on the nurses too much (well, ok, just a little!)

  i was always curious about what they had to say.

  (i guess i was an apostate in the making)..

  Thanks, hemp lover

  I vaguely remember seeing a couple of sign-carrying protesters at assemblies occasionally, but they never really made an impact.

  i am at such a loss for words, i have stared at this screen for about an hour not knowing how to address this.

  i feel for the family of this young woman and any way you slice it, closure or no closure, it is the same.

  i will however say that the said missing person had just went through a disfellowshipping and divorce, and there was a dispute over property.

  once when i was profoundly sad for too many days, my brother in law sent us a mix tape.

  he named each song after a person in our family.

  this is the one he named heather.

  Bout to go out in field service, but wanted to say if you havent heard of Kendrick Lamar, well get ready to get used to him. Listening to him got me ready shove WTs down people's throats. I'm not even gonna feature the Awake today. Straight WT presentations for the next hour.

  Mummy and Daddy must be so proud.

  How often did you entertain the "Traveling Overseers", and did you regret it afterwards?

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  i found taking the traveling overseers out for a meal, to be a waste of time.

  our literature regulary spoke of the upbuilding talk the local congregations received by entertaining our brothers.

  now some of the modern cos look at their telecommunication devices, talk of things not related to our ministry or phone it in.

  In the Western Hemishpere, ass-kissing elders figured out that taking the traveling overseer to dinner at a fine dining establishment is a sure way to get an assembly part at the next CA or DC (and gain rock-star status)... maybe that hasn't caught on yet in Aussie land...

  Yeah you're right... after all electricity only came in last year and they say computers will be the next big thing in 2014!

  recently i told you all that i wanted to e-mail two friends some of the things i was struggling with in an effort to help them wake up or at least for them to understand me...97% of you all told me that it was a bad idea.

  i still decided to do it.

  so i e-mailed her sincerely asking questions on five points---1) health care flip flops 2) false prophecies 3) mediatorship of jesus 4) un 5)1918.. she replied about 8 hours after.

  Why do you want to remain a JW?
