Notice the badly photo shopped head of the dark haired boy on the top right? If you have the original print version you'll notice that he was replaced . . .

Youths planning for the future leaflet
by slimboyfat indoes anyone remember around the tear 2000, maybe just before or after, there was a leaflet released at the summer convention aimed at teenagers called something like, "planning for a worthwhile future"?
basically it argued that you shouldn't go to college or university and put your trust in "the world".
instead you should trust in jehovah, pioneer and reach out for bethel or missionary service.

Can somebody explain the songs and songbook obsession?
by careful ini've been out a while and have only put in a rare appearance at a memorial or brief visit at a convention/assembly to keep people off my back, so i haven't kept up on the songbook.
but one thing i've noticed that the org.
has been doing that they never did when i was in is all these "supplemental songs" that keep appearing.

Cutting through all the theorizing and digression, here's the simple answer:
They are working on a new songbook that will have 150 songs total (just like the Psalms), will have updated lyrics that match the scripture quotations from the revised NWT, and will also have the same gray flexible cover. Instead of releasing it all at once like usual, they are doing it gradually, and by the time the new complete songbook comes out, it will have been about 7 years since the last one, not the shortest stretch between books that they've had.

There are no publishing costs. Lulu is a 100% automated print on demand self publisher with no quality control. The writer is delusional at this price point. -

Is it true? Heard a rumor WT postphones Disfellowshipping until further notice!!??
by Olivia Wilde ini am not sure if it's true but i heard from a good source that wt has given instructions to elders to postponed disfellowshipping members from wrong doing/gross sin until further instructions given by headquarters.
i heard some jws were just reproved either privately or publically.
has anyone else heard anything like this recently?

Heyyy . . . what if . . . they reversed the policy and said that disfellowdhipped and disassociated ones should be welcomed . . . and then reversed it a few months later, after many finally felt free to leave without repercussions. Kind of like a trap? It would strengthen the ranks, smaller but stronger.

You're description was so spot on I was literally get excited for a second thinking, 'Is this person from my congregation?!'
Literally, I'm not exaggerating or joking. But then I thought about it and the ages and marital situations you mentioned didn't match up. Uncanny nonetheless!!

by Muddy Waters intight pants, colored socks, blue shirts, beards, wire -rimmed glasses... .
does anybody remember any thing else that was once or still is proscribed against faithful j-dubs?
when brothers in our kh started wearing different colored shirts rather than white, it caused a great stir and ruckus.

Jean skirts were talked badly about by my CO, and 7 years or so later it officially appeared in print, on the pamphlet about proper dress and grooming at Bethel. -

Sooo . . . we approach someone in a public situation, ask him a juvenile, trick question with no real world application, catch the first casual answer that comes out, and then freeze the person in the moment. Sounds reasonable. I'm not defending him, (because I have no political stake either way), but . . . just sayin'.

Your thoughts on the new Star Wars?
by Coded Logic inso i've thought for a while now that jj has the lowest bar to clear in cinema history.
all he has to do is make a movie that's not as bad as the prequels.
but upon viewing the recent trailers, it looks like he's actually got the "feel" of the originals down.

Coded Logic:
So you bought it too. Seriously, there is such a thing as a marketing campaign to appeal to a certain demographic, and this movie is a prime example of that in so many obvious ways. I'm not saying it's completely a bad thing, but I think its undeniable as well.
Simon:
I think you summed it up: there's a double standard when judging the two trilogies.
