  for those who are interested, the november 2012 awake!

  is now available for download online.. among items of possible interest are some of the latest examples of fear-mongering "armageddon art" on pages 12 and 14.... .

  speaking of armageddon, you will be sad to hear that the criteria for surviving the great day of god's wrath just got a little more stringent.. there are a number of extra things in this month's awake!

  Patricia-When I'm stressed, sports, such as jogging, cycling,
  or gymnastics, help me to calm down. Also, I share my feelings
  with my parents or my best friend-people whom I can trust
  and who understand me. Having their support really helps.

  REALLY?

  thank-you atlantis - Now this ya gotta read:

  1 According to the book Daily Life in Bible
  Times, the apostle Paul typically shared in
  the house-to-houseministry "from 4 p.m. till
  far into the night." We do not know whether
  this was Paul's actual schedule, but we do
  know that Paul was willing to "do all things
  1. According to one scholar, when did the apostle
  Paul preach from house to house?
  for the sake of the good news." (1 Cor. 9:19-
  23) This would have included arranging his
  affairs to go from house to house when it was
  most productive to do so.

  Is the Governing Body EVIL or IGNORANT?

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some of you will have noticed that i've been paying a lot of attention to the governing body recently.

  this is because most jehovah's witnesses venerate them collectively (even if they can't name them individually), and i feel this makes it important to understand this group of men properly and expose their mindset as individuals.

  as the saying goes, i feel it's important to "know your enemy".. i realize it's very convenient to think of the governing body as being "evil" when we consider that they are ultimately responsible for all the damaging jw teachings and beliefs.

  the sales of properties of the former " bethel " in brooklyn amassed them millions of more $$$$ .

  they have relocated into upstate new york and are building like wildmen.

  Anthony Morris III... Did he really serve in Vietnam? Something doesn't quite add up...

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  born in 1950, he apparently became a regular pioneer in 1971.. but wait.... let's just say that he enlisted (or was drafted) in 1968 at age 18.... depending on the branch of service, he would have to complete anywhere from 2 to 4 years of service.

  yes, duty in hot combat zones was usually limited to 6-months at a time but you still had to serve a total of 2 to 4 years depending on the branch of service.

  assuming he only served 2 years, he would have been 20 years old and discharged by 1970.... how did he get witnessed to, complete a book study, become an unbaptized publisher, get baptized and then become a regular pioneer in less than year???.

  *** w06 3/15 p. 26 New Members of the Governing Body ***
  Brother Morris entered the pioneer service in 1971 in the United States. In December of that year, he married Susan, and they continued pioneering for nearly four years until the birth of their first son, Jesse. In time, they had another son, Paul. Brother Morris reentered the full-time service in 1979 as a regular pioneer. His wife joined him when the boys entered school. The family served where the need was great in Rhode Island and North Carolina, in the United States. In North Carolina, Brother Morris served as a substitute circuit overseer, and the boys took up regular pioneer service. Jesse and Paul were invited to the United States branch at the age of 19. Meanwhile, Brother Morris began circuit work. Then, in 2002 he and Susan were invited to Bethel, starting their new assignment on August 1. Brother Morris worked in the Service Department at Patterson and later as a helper to the Service Committee of the Governing Body.

  Ha, ha, ha. That was quite funny - the reaction of Morris - "now that's been over 15 years now, but it teaches governments not to take on the almighty". So it took the almighty 15 years and he had to use the worldly European Court of Human Rights

  do you think in view that they now have wt production videos.. (a costly endevour) that they might in addition to the www, local and literature donation boxes start a wt video productions box with special guilt laid on parents with small children to donate ?.

  it does seem to be all about the money so it wouldn't suprise me...how about you.
