What Profound ironies do you know about?
by Siddhashunyata inin another thread big tex related a story about the memorial wine that was so ironic that i thought maybe others saw profound irony in some of their experiences.
for example i recall a brother who gave up a military pension 2 years before retirement in order to pioneer for jehovah.. he would deride another brother for working long hours at his business ( auto repair business) and who spent virtually no time in field service.
years passed, the pioneer brother became needy and had to stop pioneering in order to work while the other brother had saved enough to retire and pioneer.

Shrewed Apostates of the 1 Year Class
by Siddhashunyata inlast year at this time "shrewed apostates" side stepped and survived the elder's question " do you consider yourself one of jehovah's witnesses?
" this year no question is asked.
if you show no hostility they ask " can we visit you again in say one year?

Elders visits 2004 ???
by Siddhashunyata inlast year ,at about this time, the board was discussing how elders would be coming around to ask "inactive ones" if they "considered themselves to be one of jehovah's witnesses ( entrapment question).
in light of the current wt studies on apostasy and the faithful and discreet slave, does anyone know if that program is set to operate again in 2004?
last year i had my visit in march.

"Thinking Ability " and The WTBTS
by Siddhashunyata ini recall an emphasis on "thinking ability" coming from the wtbts.
i believe the point was that a mind trained in bible principles would have excellent "thinking ability".. does any one recall if the wtbts ever discussed intuition or if they ever touched on ideas that implied a mental process that was more rapid, and more penetrating?
something that led to deeper, quicker understanding than the reasoning process itself ?
