Aha! So he did get married to that young sister. That was a bit strange..acording to the new WT theology the GB shall be raptured in a short while (during the tribulation).
Maybe he wanted to enjoy som earthley and physical pleasures before the rapture. Who are we to blame him. Ruling with 143999 other kings could be a bit uninspiring.

Hmm, was it from areliable source?
Who knows?
so my daughter is coming home from uni next week for the easter hols.
if she said to me i've joined this group that says i have to put them before my family, my health, earning money for food, recreation, getting married and eating.
oh no you've joined a cult!
Maybe it is true that the society expects to organisation to be smaller, but a more hard-liner one. Probably lots of visitors at the assemblies will react to the cultish approach to those subjects.
just had my 1day assembly this weekend.
an experience given by the bethel speaker was quite troubling and shows how jw's live in constant paranoia, anxiety and they isolate themselves from normal living.. a first grade class was having a fire drill.
everyone ( except one) lined up and stood outside away fron the classroom in the grass.
Hmm, this may be an urban legend. I heared this story in the 1980's at an assembly.
I reacted in the same way as you. People laughing about it made med feel really bad.
as the title says, share what you love about the truth!.
we know that the gb or anything else in the truth is all true and nothing is false!.

Panthers...have you got the big AA.....Armageddon Anxiety? That's not uncommon. Just relax. You will get over it!
Rules made for proection..yes, protecting paedophiles and protecting you from playing ice-hockey! :-P
if you think about how they word and spin doctor everything, such as on jw org, the faq about shunning members who leave the religion....if a jw says, "look, it says you don't shun ex members and family ties remain no matter what!
", they will say, "na ah ah!!
if you look closely it talks about inactive ones who are not shunned, and as for family, the example is of a husband in the same household as his wife and children.
They have a writing departement, that's for sure. But probably all litterature passes though the legal departemen before being published.
But this misleading about shunning can be a double-edged sword.

Cold feet Panthers? Or are you playing a joke?
Yes, as someone stated, the best thing was the girls in the borg.
i have recently been given the privilege of taking the field service group.. .
can anyone give me some scriptures i can use to encourage the group?
can you also give a reason as to why these scriptures are helpful to our ministry.. .
Panther!
I don't knoe that much aboy the maney. But you have to separate/differentiae among two things: the JWs as a "church" or network of congregations, and the watchtower society. The GB rules the JW. Thwe watchtower society is something different. I was surprized when I learned that there is some people that are shareholders in the watchtower society. But it is almost impossible to get information on who these shareholders are.
Have you read the story about the Menlo Park scandal....there is a thread here about an ex elder that still thinks it is just a regional fraud.

I think the official explanation is that ice-hockey is physically agressive as a sport.
The real explanation is what Mr Punk said earlier. Besides, playing in a team of wordlies is not looked upon as something good.
just a random thinking outside the box thought i had today.
it began with doing a little more reading about space/time.
scientifically, it's known that as one approaches the speed of light, time slows down for them.
The einsteinian God, travelling by the speed of light! :-)
It is a good question, end of mysteries!
" je n'ai pas eu besoin de cette hypothèse"......
....Nous avons seulement besoin de poule et de la bierre...(chicken and beer)...if wi shall believe our "apostate master" outlaw! :-)
Is it possible to compare philosophy and beer??? In that case....beer is better...because.....beer makes us thinking about philosophy.......but philosophy alone doesn't give us beer! :-P
