  yes,i know what it means however,the gb of the wbts does not.they said the study edition apears once a month and is not offered to the public.the study edition(has 32 pages) and the public edition(has 16 pages) of the watchtower are not two different magazines.per their wt of jan.15/2008.. on page 2 of their oct.15/2014 public wt they say it is published semimonthy.

  page 3 they say nearly 46 million copies of each issue are printed.also their study edition is published semimonthymy understanding, the public issue is on the 1st of the month and the study is on the 15th month only one copy of ea issue.someone please explain the discrepancies.. .

  Children being baptised - Aid book v Insight book

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a pet peeve (major) is that of the gb pressuring kids to be baptized.. checking the aid book today and the following under baptism, no infant baptism.. virtually word for word between the books, except for the deletion of this paragraph:.

  "regarding the practice of infant baptism, the encyclopedia britannica, vol.

  iii, ed.

  I was baptized at 12. But I have been 100% against it, since I was about 20!

  a particularly fat and ugly woman walks into a pet store to buy her pit bull some dog food.

  she passes a huge parrot on an open stand as she walks down the dog food isle.

  as she is looking through the dog food brands she hears a pssssst......then another psssst... behind her.

  I don't remember the contexts, but an elder in his part on the SM, said something about talking to a person on the steps of a church. And after whoever walked away, he stood there for a moment, and said quitely, "God Damm! This Place!"

  A water cooler elder (real butt head) giving the local needs part about associating with DFed people. Said, "These are Wicked, Vile, Evil people, why would you even want to be near them, much less talk to them!) All said with, all the HATE, and DISCUST, he could muster! I would not spit on him, if he was on fire!

  What will the next "witness" fad illness be??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  as we know, it seems that many witnesses "suffer" from "illnesses" at times.. now , before anyone scolds me for being insensitive or unfeeling, i am not mocking those who really suffer from illnesses of any sort.

  i am having a go at those that jump on the bandwagon of the popular illness, which actually makes real sufferers feel jaded.. i am referring to the way that many witnesses who are actually damaged as a result of the constant "fear.obsession.guilt" of jw propaganda, often seem to "contract the current illness going around", or blame it on that instead of looking at the real cause.. im sure it is a subconcious result of the burdensome pressure of jw life that brings it on.

  instead of seeing the draining effect on their lives as being the result of witness life, they will latch on to the next illness going around.. so, what is the latest going to be?.

  It's just like, today if you have served as an elder or ms in another congration, and stopped serving in that one, before you can be reapointed in a diffrent one, the new one has to contact the last one you served in, to get the poop on the scoop! I have been in. I have been in 5 differnt once sine asking to be deleted some time back!!

  If it's what you really want, I hope you the best luck!!!

  I have real problems with about 10% of perfumes, and have had to have an ambulance called a couple of times over the years. It blows my mind watching people claiming to be so allergic, then they show up at meetings or out in public wearing cheap paper dust mask, and even setting next to someone wearing stuff that would at least run me out the door! I have had bad lungs all my life. A few puffs from a cigarette, got me 3 days in the hospital, when I wad 12.

  My X-monster had everything that came along, including toxic-shock syndrome, that was only caused by Rely tampons back in the esrly 80's, even though she never used them!

  How do we set up a "Used New Bike Fund" for Terry?

  by BucketShopBill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is there any way we can try to start a crowd-fund to help terry get some wheels quicker than he currently can?

  with craigslist and a couple of bucks from a few members we can help terry get moving.

  does anyone have any ideas how we can do a "theists for terry" bike fund raiser and challenge the atheists to a bucket-head challenge?
