  RULES & REGULATIONS

  Isaiah 64:8

  8 But now, O Lord , you are our Father;
  we are the clay, and you are our potter;
  we are all the work of your hand.

  11:05 TALK Do not ''conform yourself to this system of things''

  I think that the WTS are starting to realize that members are tuning them out when it comes to the internet,television,books,and other reading material.

  The speaker said, ''We should not be influenced by what the world watches. Little by little ,we will see nothing wrong with worldly programs and may even enjoy them. How much time do you spend on these activites? Have you read the Bible all the way through? How many hours do you put in service? "

  Do you think that some members are starting realize that the WTS can't control their homelife any longer? Are the members just going through the motions?

  ''We should not be influenced by what the world watches

  How many programs has the Society produced for the "upbuilding" entertainment of the rank and file? Shouldn't JDubs even watch the news? Last time I checked, the "world" watches that right?

  It is such a blessing to NOT have to sit at one of these assemblies and be told all that I am NOT doing and that I SHOULD be doing more for the WTS! (And to think that I even used to "save up" to go with all my kids to listen to this garbage!)

  Hey I stayed home to watch the Sonny and Cher Show on a Friday night instead of the Theocratic Ministry School! That was fun but looked down upon!

  I think they now say that people are visiting other Kingdom Halls! Yeah right!

  To answer your question, they will never stop telling people what they can watch! I am wondering if ET is still a bad movie?
