Preaching Slowdown
by cornish in.
i can remember numerous talks and study articles about how the preaching work would get more and more intense as we near the end.. one so called prophetic illustration that stands out in my mind was when joshua and his men marched around the city each day and then just before the city fell they marched seven times signifying a quickening of the preaching work.. it seems starkingly obvious that the preaching,is in decline amonst jw's,the jw's are seen less and less often in my neighbourhood,it is very rare to see them out street witnesing around the town centres and railway stations,the average jw spends far less time preaching than a decade ago.. it seems like their chief brag is definately on the wain,in favour of other recruitment methods.

Experience of new elders meeting format.....
by caspian injust to let you know that the s2 has come back from london with my deletion on it, so i expect it to be announced on thursday, it will be interesting to see how "my brothers and sisters" treat me.
anyway with regards to my experience to the new format of elders meetings.... some of you may be aware of the change to the format announced at the the elders seminar 2002 and in the subsequent letter, regarding the handling of an elder whose child has been involved in serious conduct.. basically the change is that a special elders meeting is held, where the elder is questioned by the body on why he thinks his child got into trouble?
was it his fault?

Sunday Drama at JW Convention: Not Bad, Really
by Room 215 inin the ``giving credit where credit's due" category, i must say that while curiosity drew me to spend an hour or so last sunday morning at the convention in philly, i must confess to having been pleseantly surprised by the drama.
sure there was the usual hamming it up with over-the-top histrionic gesturing and laughable synthetic beards we've come to expect; but since it stuck nearly verbatim to the events chronicled in the book of acts from pentecost through the trial and martydom of stephen it was remarkable for its christ-centricity and for the total absence of watchtower spin or any reference to ``the governing body," the "faithful and discreet slave" and ``organization.
"" except for a few spurious ``jehovahs" here and there, it might have easily been mistaken for some sort of baptist pageant.

"We don't make rules!", claims the WTS
by ozziepost inout of their own mouths (well, web-site actually): .
jehovah's witnesses avoid making rules and regulations beyond those provided in the scriptures, and they do not follow traditions that contradict bible teachings.
emphasis is placed on personal application of bible principles and the value of a sound, bible-based conscience.matthew 15:9; 2 corinthians 1:24.. just thought you'd like to know!

What's the appeal of internet social networks?
by logansrun infrom this week's "onion"...... friend-matching web sites like www.friendster.com [or the jwd .
online friends easier to cut loose than people who live in your building.
great way to chip away at the remaining normal methods of human interaction.

Daily Scripture:Luke 11:9,10 When???
by Blueblades in9.accordingly i say to you,keep on asking,and it will be given you.keep on seeking ,and you will find;keep on knocking,and it will be opened to you.10.for everyone asking receives,and everyone seeking finds,and to everyone knocking it will be open.. in all sincerity i ask this question:how long does it take to have this promised declaration of the lord to become a reality?.
all my life i have been keeping on asking,and keeping on seeking,and keeping on knocking.so i have been doing the first part vs. 9. yes i have been doing my part.its been a lifetime.. when is the lord going to do his part vs.10.receive,find and open ?.
have you been doing the same and for how long without getting a response?.
