Overlapping generation segment on the new Circuit Assembly program
by traveb inso there i was at the circuit assembly sunday morning with my eyes glazed over as usual when all of a sudden, bam!
a demo with two brothers talking about the new overlapping generation teaching.
the reason it took me by surprise was because it occured during the second talk of the sunday morning symposium, "sanctify god's name by your speech".

Ray Franz wrote in ISOCF p.195/6
by fadinfast inray franz wrote in isocf p.195/6 with all his usual astute observation.
"heavy loads"-why heavy?.
jesus said of the religious leaders of his day, "they tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

My Trip to the Unitarian Universal Church
by NewChapter inso, pretty much i no longer care to believe in a god.

Field Service Reports Count More than Showing Love - Ray Franz CF Book
by flipper ini've always suspected this was the wt society's view when i was in the jehovah's witness organization - but never knew the head of the writing committee karl adams had written a letter to nathan knorr ( then wt president ) recommending a change regarding reporting field service time as it wrongly emphasized jw members being seen as mainly being approved due to field service statistics - instead of emphasizing christian qualities of love, kindness, peace, etc.. karl adams had been personally handpicked by nathan knorr to be the head of the writing department.

i'll share the main parts of that letter.. on pg.
