not sure where i should post this?.

last year i got into home canning.

this year i sooooo want to make homemade tomato sauce, but i'll need a food mill to do it because it's too time consuming to de-seed 52 jars worth of tomatoes.. i've been online looking at customer reviews for various brands and models, but now i'm just a muddled mess.reviews speak about multiple uses and the pros and cons, but i only want it for tomato sauce/spaghetti sauce.. do any of you use a food mill for homemade tomato sauce?

A Point To Ponder....

i've viewed several videos of judicial committees formed against so-called "apostates", and i still vividly remember my own jc on charges of apostasy.

a common thread that is obvious is that the accused always tries to state his or her case, while the attending stepford elders pretend to listen and then continue on with watchtower propaganda.. and it hit me:.

often times the accused will present a logic that is difficult for the three elders to answer; as a result the three will bumble through it for a minute or two before someone regains "composure"and responds with a watchtower response.. is the prescribed presence of three elders a "safety feature" to ensure that any one elder doesn't get derailed from watchtower propaganda?.

watchtower literature is sometimes like finding needles in haystacks.

where can i find quotes stating that a jehovah's witness is not to accept any literature from any other religions?

(i'm obviously not using the right search terms!).

Field Service meetings?
by JWOP in

i'm just curious: since the wts did away with book studies in members homes, how does the field service meetings go now?

do people still meet in members homes, or are all fs meetings now at the kingdom hall every day?

or do they now have some other arrangement?.
