i: some relevant quotes from watchtower publications
1: the position of the watchtower as regards smoking
*** jv 181 13 recognized by our conduct ***.
I would like to have the information that you have found, but I just can't seem to find what you have outlined here. Please show me just where at the very least, or copy and past what you have found that clearly says Watch Tower Corp involvement. Thanks, Shane

a new kingdom hall has just been built very close to where we live.
it is taking on the appearance of fort knox now, much like some other khs near us.
the high fences with nasty sharp bits are just going up and there are floodlights on at night.
Well reasoning would dictate that the razor ribbon fence is there to keep those who read the web about the witness's safely confined in.
Knowing that all they have to do is go home and read on this site and others just what a farce they are, after the CO comes around.

i have found some adorable santa images on the internet and i'd love it if everyone shared their favorite santas!
(please no naked santas!).
How about these:
i was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to whether the acceptable way to treat disfellowshipped family members has changed at all over the past 6-8 months or so?
i'm getting the "brush off" more and more from my family and was wondering if there have been any modifications.
i suppose i should be grateful that they talk to me at all, when i read some of the posts on this board, but i can't help wondering.. thanks for any info.. fifi.
Wow, what a Cult of control.
i am a bit fuzzy, but i always remembered that the "faithful and discreet slave" were the annointed members of the governing body and that they were led by jehovah god.... of course according to the wts.. now, as they get older and other wts corporations have been formed and the president of the wts himself isn't of the "annointed" then what happens when the "annointed" governing body members who represent the "faithful and discreet slave" die off?.
where is the intermediatary between the regular jw's and jehovah?
what will happen to the light that kept getting brighter?
"(Nethinim)" Where on earth do they get this Crap.
child abuse, documentarys on watchtower cover-ups of child molestation, un scandal, disfellowshipping changes, flip-flop doctrines, loss of life due to refusing blood transfusions, disfellowshipping whistleblowers etc.. you name it, the watchtower has done it.. years ago, it was hard to hear anything bad about the society.
other than a few "disgruntled ones" (tm) most people (in and out the org) had little bad to say about the dubs.. now, it's only "bad all the time.
" everytime a news article on jw appears, it's usually bad.. it seems the only good media attention they get these days is coverage of their district conventions and the odd quickbuild.. have the attitudes of people changed towards jw's in your community?.
If we both were to share a pitcher of beer together and play some pool, I would humbly lean over to you and confess: Yes In Deed".

I have some fringe informates who have told me that if you are a brother who has just been told he is now disfellowshiped that before leaving the committee room, he is to immediately bend over and grab his ankle's and spell RUN three times as fast as he possibly can.
As far as the sister's are concerned I have no information, and I refuse to go in that direction anyway.
ok i was at the doctors office with my son and is hernia problem.
well as the dr was telling me that he needed surgery and was trying to explain what he was going to do and how it will be done just so i would know what going on with my kid.
as i sit there and he is explaining things to me he uses the word "gonad"!
When we pick up or cot and walk out of the hall.

i wonder if it ever happened that an elder accepted a bribe from a brother or sister caught in some bad sin and not wanting it to be public?
Yup, one of them just grined and said lets keep this a secret you don't tell my wife that you seen that womens head disappear under my steering wheel, and I won't tell them your smashed right now, I said you got a deal brother as we both poored more wine and ate five year old sharp chedder cheese. And considered the days text for tomorows field service.
One time I was in a bar quite smashed, and I asked this old drunk what should I know above all else about women; he said: "They Lie a Lot".
