The Phonograph and the Cart
by days of future passed inthese special pioneers took the lead in the phonograph work when the society voluntarily withdrew from commercial use of the radio.. to learn of the effectiveness of this new program let's read from the 1940 yearbook, which presents the report for the 1939 service year:.
the special pioneer work was announced at the columbus convention in september, 1937, and that work has continued now for two years with good results.
when the special pioneer work began the company publishers were not convinced of the value of making back-calls and the regular daily use of the phonograph.. about 200 specially chosen pioneers throughout the country took upon themselves the responsibility of really putting to use the phonograph.

The God of This System Of Things 2 Cor.4:4 is the same God of Rom 13:1-7
by smiddy3 inaren`t these two scriptures talking about the one and same god ?.
2 cor.4:4 speaks about the god of this system of things blinding the minds of unbelievers .. this scripture has always been attributed as to applying to satan the devil.
he is not blinding the minds of believers but unbelievers and i think that is a critical point about 2cor.4:4. rom.13:1-7 states that christians should be in subjection to the superior authorities under the arrangement of god and whoever opposers the authority has taken a stand against god.

Will God Spare China at Armagedon?
by eyeslice innot because they haven't been witnessed to but who is going to manufacture all the stuff for the survivors?
textiles and clothing, building materials, electrical components, air-conditioner for those living in the tropics and spacer heaters for those living in colder climes.
not to mention video equipment and computer tablets so that the survivors can watch the gb updates (though may they've gone to heaven but i'm sure there'll be plenty of the 'gb helpers', the next rank down, left).

The Best Is Yet To Come
by Lostandfound inin my memory irecall a phase many years ago when this phrase seemed to be on everyone's lips "the best isyet to come".
my of this may be not very clear but one thing is clear, nothing better ever came, silver sword, videos, caleb trash, lowering decorum, down, down, down.
i dread to think what worse would be like!.

Blind faith
by menrov inyou have those moments where you sit and think, how is it possible...... governments (local, regional or federal level) and political leaders in general are receiving their right to govern or lead from the people (with exception of some countries like north korea and china).
if the people are not satisfied anymore (due to corruption, lies, baseless promises etc), they will act to initiate change.
this can lead, in more extreme situations, to a revolution.

by asp59 inwhat do jws think about a regular member in congregation can be disfellowshipped, but when governing body makes something wrong, like two witnesses rules on child molestation, it's just considered 'they are not perfect' and can do wrong?

have there been cases in other countries were df decisions were challenged and reversed?
