Recycled WTS beliefs
by Simon inwe all know the wts abandons and invents beliefs faster than apple can churn out new shiny stuff.
but have they ever abandoned a belief and later picked it up again?.
i remember many years ago we had one of those post-district-assembly review parts (part of the service meeting) where they were discussing some "new light".. there was some confusion about which was the "new" and which was the "old" and a semi-discussion ensued with people commenting.

The "faithful and discreet slave".
In Russell's day, and for sometime thereafter, the "faithful and discreet slave" was Russell by reason that he was in solely in charge, being viewed as God's channel. It was not a class of people.
Later the teaching of the "faithful and discreet slave" was changed a class of anointed JW's all around the earth.
Today the "faithful and discreet slave" is only the seven members of the governing body by reason that they are in charge, being viewed as God's channel.

Reports of lower memorial attendance
by thedepressedsoul ini have heard a lot of reports from kingdom halls in the area that there was less than last year, for both time slots.. we had the first time slot and we were down 50+/- compared to last year.
last year we had the lobby full of people standing and this year we had empty seats and no one standing.
we ran out of parking last year and this year we made it.. like i said i am hearing quite a few reports of this from halls in our area.however, somehow the number seem to inch up every year.

"Pray Anything" is the tenth episode of the fourteenth season of The Simpsons. It is the 301st episode of the Simpsons in broadcast order; in production order, this is the 299th.
In the episode, Homer discovers that praying can solve problems, and uses this to his advantage. After breaking his leg near the church, Homer sues the church and ends up receiving the deed to own it when the church was unable to pay him $1,000,000 as granted, where he would have used the money to repair the house's pipes and drywall. Under his ownership, the church becomes a hangout for townspeople, where the Ten Commandments are all broken, much to Reverend Lovejoy's dismay when he decides to leave Springfield after losing his church.
The episode starts with The Simpsons visiting The Springfield Square Garden to watch a WNBA game. The announcer offers a $50,000 prize for shooting a half-court basket.Homer presumes he is the winner, since he is sitting in Section A, Row 12, Seat 16. His ticket however turns out to be for the following day's "WNFL" match and, to his dismay, the real winner is Ned Flanders. Ned kneels and prays before shooting the basket, and he makes it. He declares he will donate his money to "Bibles for Belgians." The Rich Texan then gives Ned an extra $100,000 for his generous attitude. Adding to Homer's fury, Ned gets to drive home in the Wienermobile.
The following day, Homer asks Ned what his secret is, and Ned replies it is hard work, clean living and a little prayer does not hurt, Homer ignores the first two which require effort in favour of prayer. Later, Homer cannot find the remote control and prays to God to help him find it. He finds it under the couch and is able to switch away from a Ken Burnsdocumentary to the "Monkey Olympics." Homer sees that his prayers are working, and sets up a prayer station in his workstation at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.
After Homer prays for a new snack treat (resulting in Bacon Fudge after two trucks collide), prays to help Bart with his homework, and asks God to help him unblock the sink,Marge then tells Homer that he cannot ask God to do every little thing for him, which he bluntly refuses to consider. A plumber who comes to examine the sink finds the pipes full of roots and points out that the moisture is ruining the drywall, which crumbles at his touch.
On Sunday, Homer is walking towards the church and looking up, talking to God. Not looking where he is going, he falls down into a shallow hole, reserved for the Nativity Scene. A shady lawyer is walking by, and convinces Homer to sue the church. Homer goes through with this because he needs the money to fix the pipes and drywall. While in court, theBlue-Haired Lawyer shows a video of Homer's stupidity to prove he is accident prone, but the jury (led by Cletus) still finds in Homer's favor. Homer is granted $1,000,000, but the church cannot pay this. Instead, Homer receives the deed to the church and, despite Marge's objections, moves the family there, displacing Reverend Lovejoy, who relectantly accepts an invitation to stay with Ned Flanders and his family.
Homer immediately commences watching TV in his underwear, drinking beer out of a Communion chalice, and using a crucifix as an air-guitar when he sings the KISS song I Was Made for Lovin' You. He kicks out an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, telling them that the room now belongs to the dog. Marge tells Homer that he is not being a good Christian, and Homer decides to repay them by throwing a big party.
Meanwhile, Reverend Lovejoy has set up a temporary church in Barney's Bowl-A-Rama. Only a very few faithful, including Marge and the Flanders family, still attend. Constant interruptions of his sermon cause Lovejoy to give up hope and leave town.
The church becomes a bar and hangout for the townspeople, complete with drinking, poker, violence, fires, and worship of idols. Ned observes that they have broken all Ten Commandments. As Marge worries that Homer is incurring God's wrath, a rainstorm begins and Homer is struck by lightning. The town begins to flood, and the townspeople flee to the roof of the church. Homer tries praying again but the flood keeps rising. Just as the townspeople are about to enact revenge on Homer, Reverend Lovejoy returns in a helicopter and leads everyone in prayer, asking God to forgive them for letting themselves be led by a "demon in blue pants."
The flood subsides, and Lisa explains that the rain is actually the result of soot in the air from the earlier bonfire, and the lack of trees in Springfield caused the flood. Bart asks what made the rain stop, and Lisa shrugs and says "I don't know, Buddha?" The final scene shows God, Buddha and Colonel Sanders in heaven eating popcorn chicken.

The following YouTube video is from the Simpson's episode "Homer Loves Flanders" and describes more succinctly the power of prayer.

by AndersonsInfo inhttp://www.pamplinmedia.com/ht/117-hillsboro-tribune-news/255785-125363-jehovahs-witness-sex-abuse-case-in-feds-hands.
lawsuit seeks $10.5 million from hillsboro church, watchtower society .

He said the defendants filed another motion March 26 to have the alleged perpetrator, Daniel Castellanos, named as a co-defendant in the lawsuit “or at least have him take some responsibility as a defendant.”
So Watchtower files a motion to have the alleged perpetrator, Daniel Castellanos, named as a co-defendant. Should be interesting when Watchtower refuses to produce all documents relating to Castellanos when eventually ordered by the court to do so.

The prophetic modern fulfillment of Sister Penny...
*** w67 1/15 p. 52 par. 7 The Modern Fulfillment of the “Penny” ***
in July of the midwar year of 1917 the Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society published (only in English) the book entitled “The Finished Mystery,” this book being the seventh and last one of a series of seven volumes of Studies in the Scriptures. Because the heavenly glorification of the faithful remnant of the Christian church was believed near, this Bible-study aid The Finished Mystery along with accompanying service privileges was thought to be the symbolic “penny,” coming as a reward to the faithful “vineyard” laborers before they departed from this earth.
