My prediction is that not only will suits not be required, they will be banned. Because they remind the GB of law-suits.

Almost all the elders (and many ithers) signed up to aux pioneer when the co came or during memorial season. Almost none of them were visible out in service anywhere near the amount of time needed to make the hours. Why? Because all that counts is that you signed up and your name was announced. There is no reckoning at the end of the month, no announcement of who really made their hours. It was and is all for show.

I want to know what that ominous looking cylindrical metal thing with glowing lights is. Maybe the way to immediately dispose of those resurrected who reject the new system and become a problem? My mind is dark, I know....

Any in-house word on Ukrainian Witnesses form HQ?
by careful inhas anyone heard any word on active witnesses inside the ukraine and what has been happening with them the last week or so?
i checked the official org website but there was just the expected "fulfilling bible prophecy" stuff.
perhaps someone here has bethel contacts who have leaked some info on what the gb is trying to do for these victims of putin's madness?.

Also had to ditch the puffy pirate shirt for a standard issue polo shirt. He's now telling the China man neru jackets and little caps are from Satan. To be a foollower (sic) everyone has to look the same.

Congregation Reassignments in Ohio?
by My Name is of No Consequence infrom what i understand, a letter was read this past week in regards to congregation reassignments and that the elders want to meet with people at their homes to tell them where they have been reassigned.
obviously, this would be due to the merging and dissolution of congregations.
can anyone confirm this?.

I can't confirm much, due to lack of info, bUT I can confirm that each pub in the affected congos was to get a personal visit, or if not possible, then a call from their field service coordinator, informing them of their new congo assignment. I don't know which specific congos are dissolved or if any KHs are to be sold. It seems rhe local pubs aren't being given the whole picture. ...yet. stay tuned....

Do you know any good novel about faith crisis?
by paradiseseeker ini'm looking for something to read.
i'm interested in ecclesiastical settings like churches and gothic cities.
but the most important thing i look for is the inner thoughts and evolution of the main character: his/her feelings of guilt, regular visits to the confessor, self-comfort drawn from faith, praying god/saints, relapses and self-loathing as well as his/her process of "waking up".. i know it's something very particular and there's a lot of junk literature about the topic with poor writing and archetype characters, but if you have read anything of good quality, i would be very glad to know.. thank you in advance..

The speaker who gave this talk at the convention I attended made no mention of how long they live, only that they live very long. Hmmmm. I thought it odd, and immediately Googled it, and saw the reason maybe why. He did the math.
Another interesting fact about the bristlecone pine is that they succumb very quickly to root rot, thriving only in very dry, rocky soils. So seems they wouldn't have survived a supposed worldwide flood, and months of soaking thereafter. 'Course with a coating of fairy dust, anything is possible.
