16-20. we shall also have to raise up against him seven shepherds, yes, eight dukes of mankind.mic.
what is the most important thing that you can do now to prepare for any future attack on gods people?.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. .
Thanks Billy, these previews and analyses of the wt articles before we actually study them are brilliant. You and blonde ROCK!
I think the octopope missed a trick not applying the 8 dukes to themselves though.
7 shepherdly elders, (7 for completeness, clearly figurative) but even better than that, 8 dukely octopopettes (evidently literal, ,since there ARE 8!)
a young, progressive, kind elder wants to have a chat with me on sunday after the meeting.
we've talked before and been quite open about the judgemental attitudes 'we' have as witnesses, and he was completely in agreement, stating that he's never understood the beard thing among other issues, and wants to see the society moving forward by change..
i've no doubt he just wants to encourage me to up my hours or reach out again, but it's nerve wracking, as i know i'll say something i'll regret.
Thanks snare, I must admit , it's not in the 'plan' , but half of me wants a witch hunt to happen so the missus can see how stupid and controlling it all is. We've had conversations where I've told her how bad it COULD get of I express my opinions, and she's always downplayed it, saying I'm worrying too much , so if bad stuff happens, it could well wake her up. But that's not the actual plan. Yet.
do you have a smart phone?.

Ah. My phone must be a sack of turd then cos I uninstalled chrome since it wouldn't work with this site! Thanks anyway! I'll keep experimenting. . . .

Thanks for your best wishes folks, yadda, I appreciate your viewpoint but my optimism and instinct (due to previous conversations with said elder) lead me to think he's a genuine bloke, so I don't feel too apprehensive about opening up (a little) to him. Kate, I can't bring myself to exit yet, I don't wanna disappoint my elderly parent, so I think slow fade is the way to go. I don't mind expressing myself A LITTLE to one of the body so they know there's a reason for my inactivity and I'm not just being lazy (and COULD be gee'd up with a little encouragement) especially if it's a difficult unanswerable question I'm struggling with. And Billy, Thanks for that, I've already read those threads but it's dead handy having them linked together here, I'll definitely be going over them againagain! Lost generation, I had already decided in my mind to stick to ONE issue, and that was going to be the generation one, since if I picked the FADS then that really could spell serious trouble! Like I said earlier, the elder already recognises the scriptural difference between doubters and apostates so if I play up the 'struggling with doubts, working on it' card, it may well buy me some breathing room. Or it might well mark me as a project. In which case it's time to say thanks but no thanks, I'll work it out with jehovah, leave me alone.

Ice cream sandwich is the operating system , so when it asks you if you want to use chrome or another option, which one do you use?

@@shirleyw, what browser are you using? And which keyboard too, cos Sometimes I have to revert to the default Samsung keyboard as SwiftKey fouls up something rotten!

Cheers mister radar , I'll try that too.. I use three different browsers and not one of them works properly on this site. 'one' browser is the best so far but even if I format my comments into paragraphs they don't survive me hitting the 'submit' button.. See!
