  Truthseeker...thanks for that bit of assembly inspiration...now I guess I won't have to attend

  Thanks elsewhere for posting the article...I remember all too well that 2002 KM about not socializing with your relatives. There was a family in my congo who took it to the extreme and would not allow their Dfd son who lived at home to eat at the table with them or watch television with the family--he had to stay in his room! I was also sad about my nephews who were Dfd (away from home) and missing their mom, but because their step-Dad had the "position" of minesterial servant he had to be an example to the congo and could lose him privleges if they communicated too much with my sister's boys, so neither does she. I was mentally on my way out of the Org at that point in time and sitting through articles like this was pure torture. Just reading through that assembly program was enough to send me into a funk.

  Thanks Mary for counteracting that one--I love your summaries...

  I think the problem is most JWs are not listening to the watchtower period (the also explains so many dfings and faders). It is like a child that won't listen to you so you keep turning up the volume, and eventually before you realize it you are yelling at them.
  
  
  The watchtower is doing the same. No matter what they say the JWs are not listening like they used to. While this may seem like some authoritarian brainwashing campaign to some it is not. It is an example of loss of command and control. Unlike the russian army the watchtower can't shoot any soldier that looks behind him.
  
  
  Many JWs are voting with their behaviors. Look how many good JWs come here. Usually they are scared off, but the fact they openly give here a try shows that the Wts is becoming a toothless bulldog. THey keep berating the elder body every assembly too. Telling them basically that they are forsaking their positions.
  
  
  I think that right now it is more difficult to get DFed because the elders know that you probally wont be comming back, once you leave youll get on the net, and then thats the end of that. I assume that you could get away with anything in reason and plea bargain your way back into the cong relatively quickly because unlike before it is slim pickings.
  
  
  Besides people now know that the pedophile scandal expossed the gapping hole in the DFing system. Showing that it is totally inert in "keeping the congregation clean".

  As a matter of interest, does anyone know if there's anything in the current circuit assembly or SAD program about stopping kids going to university, and 'diverting' their attention towards "full time service"?

  In one of Saturday mornings talks (I forget which one), they said we should ignore desires to get the wisdom of the world through higher education. They repeated this twice throughout that talk. It's better to get the wisdom from God rather than go to centers of higher learning.

  Around here the message was to go to school. But you did say university so most likely they mean some type of JC or trade school since universities seem to offer feilds the WTS has no use for outside of Law, medicine, egineering, and arcitecture.

  Guys please don't doubt me on saying the wts promoted school and careers in our assembly.
  
  THey did it by given two talks the first was a talk about all these people that were educated giving up their high paying jobs (I really wish they showed income tax returns instead of taking the speakers word for it because "high" pay is subjective) to pioneer and take care of elderly retired pioneers and ex-cos.
  
  THe next talk was something about using you "I'll gotten wealth" to serve jehovah like king solomon did. I found the part odd because to most people ill gotten weath usually appliess to dirty money from crime. THe talk was basically about giving bigger donations, and giving room and board or money to bethelites or pioneers.
  
  Another thing is the wts has basically been throwing "speacial meetings" (secret) given by bethelites. THey announce what halls these shows are going to be at. They are basically job fairs. THey show the work being done at wallkill, and then encourage yonge people to go to college and then go to bethel. Apparently there are only so many toiletes to scrub now days, or maybe they are tired of teaching people from the groud up how to do simple industiral arts.
  
  Knowing so people here i am about to be called a liar.
