  the NWT would read

  "If anyone [appointed] among you, my [brooklyn] brothers, claims to be [other than] a Governing Body, they are really big assholes and liars."

  As i don't want to DA myself nor want to be DFed ... i think it is called fading if i just don't go there anymore. When starting i didn't expect it to be so easy, never got a call because of non-present fs report.

  I also thought of the rendering of "loving-kindness" to be a strange way opening this article. Often it is translated with loyalty - and we know this should be on the FDS.

  Also Threats and acts of terrorism could really be things who make it difficult to help others. The brother helping to fix the car must be very brave - you never know if it's not a car-bomb.

  How about posting the badge, is it copyright protected? Would be fun to wear it at the convention ... if going there to get new publication.

  on saturday may 29th, there will be a talk given at the district assembly in my area, called "walking in the path of increasing light".

  i will not be able to attend this talk.

  does anyone have any insight as to whether this is an announcement of some "new light"?

  These talks are normally used to show how the knowledge increased during the last years / decades. Just some historical review i would guess ... i.e. boring stuff.

  For me it seems they definitely say "no, don't extend this to other things like birthday party or chrismas" while not stating it clearly.

  Odd enough ... this clarification comes in an answer to a letter of readers! Who - apart of apostates - puts attention to this?

  Before starting the fade i reported the time in about 5 minutes parts. I took the overtime for the next month and couldn't imagine that some of the brothers where cheating. But the last months i just wrote something - so the elders won't inquire

  we'll be at the meeting on sunday with old jw friends (of a different congo).

  it'll be the visit of the co we missed due to an apostata fest.

  I'm sure at least th CO knows of it. Two elders met me and talked about the meeting (i thought it'll be about the UN thingy i asked them) and the PO said "you know, heaven sees all"

  I'm not quite sure if we are gonna tell them about our status - they both are grown up "in the truth" - so we'll see.

  Did some of you ever tried to "pre-study" and how did you manage it? For me it is only some months of not attending and i have been so upset by those thoughts of intoctrination - i hardly can stand.

  We do it - i hope - just to give a good (un)witness
