I did not read all posts, but I can only assume that the general theme is not " throwing pearls to the swine."
But, how did it go?

I am sure it is all about liability. If someone is hurt in a "congregation picnic" then the congregation is liable.
It is also about not wanting people to have fun. Guilt drives this organization, anything that reduces guilt (like fun) has to be forbidden.

Why Do Witnesses Promote A Unhealthy Lifestyle, My COBE weighs 340lbs (5ft 7in).
by BucketShopBill inplease don't take this the wrong way if your battling weight problems, that's not what this thread is meant to talk about.
i am asking this question because jehovah's witnesses claim they have "the best way of life", "god's blessing", "the truth" and are trying to change the habits of healthy people by turning them in to their own makings.
i watched people who were great athletes turn all their muscle in to fat because we would get a elder or circuit overseer make remarks they were spending too much time "working out" and "bodily training is beneficial for little".

All will be rectified in the new order, so it does not matter what we weigh prior to the great tribualation. Perhaps the excess fat will be a blessing when we are in a concentration camp with no food.
so, maybe this is god's way of preparing us for the trouble just ahead.

Rain before Noah's flood
by monkeyshine indoes anyone know the current thought on what happened before the flood?
i remember being taught that it never rained before the flood but now they are telling me that was never taught.
i thought i remembered a quote somewhere saying something to the effect of "can you imagine how the outsiders must have felt feeling those first drops of rain?

Since I don't see any characters in watchtower publications with umbrellas I can only assume there was no rain.

AS JW.ORG TRAFFIC GOES UP, DOOR-TO-DOOR TRAFFIC WILL GO DOWN
by steve2 inhere's a hypothesis that we can expect to see robustly tested over the next 2 (2016) to 5 years (2019):.
as jw.org traffic goes up, door-to-door work will go down.
it will be harder to maintain a focus on the motivation and effort required to go "out" into your local territory because the "shift" has started to occur.

I guess this is a good thing. The productivity will increase becasue the bretheren wil identify those truely interested and only focus on those in the preaching activity. Hmmm I dout it.

THE LARGEST single ABORTION-EVENT in human history
by Terry inthe population of earth at the time of noah's flood was smaller than it is today.. the flood was equal to armageddon in its destruction.
throw in all the dead creatures as well.. the predicted upcoming armageddon---the longer it is delayed---will result in the population of pregnant women.
being the highest in human history.. when armageddon comes there will be at any one instant 58 million unborn babies still in the womb.. in short: armageddon=the single largest abortion event in human history.. ______________.

I think what you are saying relates to how many pregnant women are on the earth today. I suspect a hell of a lot given the rampant sexual behavior of humans. So, given that we are only a green banana to ripeness period of time before the big A, there will be a lot of deaths associated with un-born children. I guess I don't know whether to scream or eat a banana.
