so the last two watchtower studies talked about circumcision as a mark of god's people.
i thought it was weird why they would pick that as a mark.
why dont they chop of their earlobe er something.
What did God have against the foreskin anyway?
If there was some kind of health benefit to have it removed, why did he make it that way in the first place? Why did having a foreskin symbolize reproach? Seems like all MAN made religion has some sort of obsession with the phallic.

so, dodge must be the real faithful and discreet slave as the philosophy behind this commercial was "food at the proper time" for me.
"live for now, because life is good.

Haha! I don't know. My first impression was evolution. And I know she took it that way too.
if you have not already watched the feb 2015 broadcast, go to approx.
it has an elderly sister talking about being old in this world...a long time pioneer who probably thought the end would have come years ago...as the society told her many times.. now she is told to be on a mission to get young ones to also pioneer, and watch for the not so subtle condemntion of higher education!.
sickening stuff........ they missed the obvious elephant in the room.... a life wasted on nothing...now she has no money, and lived waiting for a fairy tale!
That is so sad.
There she is selling and advertising for the 1950 convention talk ... 18 years later the Awake! from God's Organization assures her the end is within a few short years at most ... now, 65 years later she is told how to encourage others to wast their lives too.
Assuming she is 16 or 17 in 1950, that would make her at least 81 today.

The time has come for each Kingdom Hall to have an IT person ... or access to one anyway.

Obviously a business ... kind of reminds me of the local Walgreens
we are hearing reports of this promotion of the website by the jw and it seems to be a resource for them to dodge questions of their faith, when they don't have or want to give an answer to a question they direct the house holder to the organization/corporation's website to get the answer as if it really existed.there.. i think soon they are going to drop the door to door work all together as completely unprofitable, i mean their donation arrangement is a complete flop and has cost them i'm sure so they are in the process of shipping as many as they can into building up real estate for the corporation, because that is where the money is right now.. the whole jw.org is just a complete failure as a source of good information and only scare away people except the most vulnerable/gullible.. .

This is the one my wife took issue with (we all came from the sea) ...
i can't believe i'm the first one to admit going to this meeting.
it was a 3 hour video stream from patterson.
the first bit was used to set up the need.
The 3 metro areas with the most acute need are LA, Miami, and Dallas.
Are JW's really having this kind of growth in the U.S. to justify this push?
If they are, I assume this must be within particular demographics because I only see a decrease in rural areas.
hello folks.....so in an earlier thread i started, you'd realize that my father and i are quite close, we talk about almost everything/anything.. he traveled outside the country (he's semi-retired), enjoying the fruitage of his hard labor during his younger years.
so he recently returned home after he and mum went away to catchup with some old friends in another country.. upon his returning home, and subsequently to the meetings, he was told that a decision was made to strip him of his "field overseer" role, but will still continue to be an elder.. the reason...he goes away for too long too often...you can't be away from your congregation for three months out of the year!!!???
has anyone else had this experience before?
