I think I got the record on that. My wife and I studied with a lady 33 years ago and she attended most of the meetings and the memorial all these years. She finally got baptized this year. Holy F*** I have no idea why!

James Mixon
Well strange things has happen.Totally agree James, I bet all the people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki never imagine that on that memorial day of August 1945- thousands upon thousands would be wiped out in less than a minute by atomic bombs.
Trump would be crazy enough to do that without asking anyone for permission. He used the term "I do what I want, that's why I am so Successful"

Bill Cosby and Trump, what's next.
Trump for President,Sarah Palin for Vice President, and Bill Cosby for recreational director.
Remember, if they get elected, they have the power to push that red button and create a mushroom cloud.
It's getting worse than the WT, maybe we are close to the end.

We had a bet going on over here. How long would it take before he messed up again? Mexicans, Chinese, veterans, what's next, people who make under a million dollars? -

Those aged, over-used paste and cut "recommendations" from "scholars" are not what they seem, but most of you folks already know that. Most of them are not even recognized scholars with any respect in academia.
Here's a test for any JW That starts spouting off "quotes" and blurbs from authorities...Ask them, who are your favorite Bible scholars, past and present? How do they compare with the most respected ones in the field today? Can you name them?
That's good to know Caleb. I think I will try that next time. But I better get familiar with who are the respected scholars today.

Where are all these New Anointed Ones Coming from?
by John Aquila inback in the early 70s, right before 1975 we had about 7 or 8 thousand professed anointed.
cant remember the exact number.
but at every convention we were told that the end is close ---because---the number of anointed is getting smaller and smaller.

Back in the early 70s, right before 1975 we had about 7 or 8 thousand professed anointed. Can’t remember the exact number. But at every convention we were told that the “End Is Close” ---because---the number of anointed is getting SMAller and smaller.
If any anointed fell away, then probably someone who had been tested for years, would be chosen rather than some new convert.
Now that number has at least doubled???
In my old hall there are now two young brothers in their early 20s who are partaking of the emblems and wine and they are ministerial servants. In the adjoining hall there is a sister in her 20s also professing to be of the anointed and her father is an elder.
I talked to these kids and there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with them mentally. One even got married less than a year ago to a sister who I believe is 19 years old. She still hangs around with the teenage kids and got spoken to by the elders because one of her teenage friends turned her in because she was bragging that “Once you’ve had an anointed in bed, you never go back to the great crowd”
Anyway I asked one of them, “Why would Jehovah pick you instead of the old brother in your hall who is in his 80s, been an elder since the 70s, been in jail for the neutrality issue, and pioneered for years?
He answers, “Well I can’t answer that but I can tell you this, Jehovah reads the heart”
I find it interesting that when they studied to get baptized, they were directed to paradise earth. Nevertheless they of their own free will have chosen to go to heaven and rule all of humankind. And they REALLY, BELIEVE THIS.
So what’s up with that? Does anyone have any clues why many are choosing to go to heaven instead of paradise earth?

@ john... Wow! How old is she?
I believe she is about to hit her 80s. It's really sad, I met her when I was a teen and I've seen her grow old. I heard her always say the words,
"The end will probably be here next year for sure"

Who oversees the money for the WT?
by John Aquila inwhen the wt sells property for a billion dollars profit, who decides what that money is going to be used for?.
when all the money comes in from all the kingdom halls bank accounts worldwide, did all that money go into one big account and who has authority to spend it and cut some checks to whoever?
when all the monthly donations come in to the watchtower headquarters, who decides distribution, and to who?

Juan Viejo2 - The way you explained it kind of makes me very upset. They have a very elaborate scam going on, and for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the uniformed, troubled, young and gullible sorts of people.
