GREAT CROWD GIVEN NEW STATUS?
by Hunyadi inthe march 1, 2004 wt, p9 pp6 states:"the only reasonable conclusion, then, is that jesus was referring to a group of chiristians as "the faithful and discreet slave.
" can there be such a thing as a composite slave?
seven hundred years before christ, jehovah referred to the entire nation of israel as "my witnesses" and "my servant whom i have chosen.

Old Friends from the hall invited us over to their house.....
by NoBorg inok, so we get a call from some friends who looked up to us as "who to be like".
we have been on the fade for, well, a long time now, which is quite a contrast because we were the never miss type.
the last conversation i had with the husband he kind of opened up about how he was having trouble going anymore.

by garybuss inwt literature, how important is it?
now they have the ability to just upload the current issues on their web site and the individuals could just download then in pdf format and print them out and then underline the answers to all questions asked in red pencil.

Congregation is building a new KH
by dustyb inup front at the weekly tcs meeting they are commenting about how much money they've rose for the new kingdom hall.
but i was thinking about how they get all the money, and if i understand it correctly, they raise money and sell the old kh property and give all that money back to the society.
then from there, the society gives out a loan w/ like a 3% interest rate, and on top of that, takes the title to the kh and puts the kh in their names.

NGO Why then?
by confusedjw inwhat would be the *real* motive then, if not the library card, for the wtbts to become an ngo?
is it possible someone got confused or misinformed that they needed to become an ngo to continue with the library?
i can't for the life of me figure out the motive.
