Preach the good news?????
by JW72 inhi everyone, i was just wondering about 'preaching the good news'.. in order to preach the good news to the whole world, u should really abandon all unnessecary 'wordly' things, and just concentrate on doing the preaching, which is a very very big task and requires your full effort.. so, i was wondering, does that mean, if u wanna fulfil that scripture to the best of your capabilities, that u must give up those things, and soley concentrate on preaching???.
coz, no-one really does that.. or is it o.k to do a bit of preaching???.
i have no idea, i personally wouldn't preach unless i thought i knew the 'secret formula', that was really worth listening to, and wasn't just common sense.. also, is it not important to think about whether there is a god or not?

Why, What, How?????...........
by JW72 incan anyone enlighten me as to how the gb got in the position they are today??.
i'm not looking for a history lesson, but rather, what auditions did people have to under-go to prove they were 'annointed with the holy spirit' or whatever they call it.. why didn't more people leave with ray franz, he knew what he was talking about, i don't know why he hasn't nuked the remainders in brooklyn!!!!.
ahhhhhhh, wait there, yes, i do know......... he's a nice person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Does this help?
by openminded intoday our society raises us to believe that obedience is good and disobedience is bad.
we are taught that we should all do what were told and that the people that are disobedient are almost always bad people.
society tells us this, but it is not true.

Moments That Make Your Skin Crawl.
by Englishman ini thought that it might be fun to have a "my most embarrassing moment" competition.
if the thread takes off, first, second and third places will receive a prize guaranteed to be of no monetary value whatsoever!
so, i've had to give a lot of thought to exactly what was my most embarrassing moment as a jw.. was it as a 12 year old child travelling on the london underground, whilst being forced to wear a label that shouted in lurid purple: "gods kingdom rules!

Leave truth - catch AIDS???
by JEMIMAH inwe had a laugh last weekend at our s.a.dthe visiting speaker was from the london bethel (bcm)during the last talk he was trying to encourage the bros not to read non society lit.
the example he uses was of a m/s bro who used to really study his wtwell for a sunday, however he occasionally used secular sources to back up his research.. our bethel speaker in order to prove how wrong this was explained very quickly that because of this secular research, "this brother fell away and caught aids".
the brothers and sisters in the audience where very shocked at the folly of our ex-brother.
