old timers on the board may remember that i was the first to mention the november 06 blood insert in the km.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/121104/1.ashx.
the same very, very reliable source has confirmed that the book study will be amalgamated with the tms and sm.. this same source recently had a long and private conversation with a gb member.
think the voting "allowing" is only in countries where it is required by law or highly emotional. In the US it is still voluntary.
A C.O. a few years ago mentioned many misunderstood that KM here in the states.
I see that KM as basically a compromise for 'brothers' in countries where the laws are tough on voting. 'Sure, you can vote, if you have a gun to your head, (as long as you vote for Jesus)'.

If this is true, all I have to say is this came at least five years too late. All those years I had to suffer through three screwed up nights. Now only two nights are screwed up for the dubbies...
personally, i don't think the organization is reformable.
while i was an elder, i tried to be a more moderate voice and as i grew older any harsher attitudes disappaited from within me.
as they say, all the good (and smart) elders have left.
I stayed in for many years hoping it would be reformed. I thought it was being reformed in the 90's but it seemed to take a step backwards again. After reading Franz's book and learning more about the history of the borg I realized it will never be reformed. It was obvious it would be a waste to stay, so I left.
one amazing thing is that out of just three kinds of milk the milk of cow, ewe and goat hundreds if not over a thousand different kinds of cheese are made around the world.
yellow or white, hard or soft, mouldy or not mouldy, strong tasting or bland.
cheddar, gruyere, gouda, maasdamer, parmesan, feta, roquefort, stilton, brie and scores more.
Bavman, is Wisconsin a big cheese producing state?
Yes. Wisconsin has many cheese factories. It is known as 'America's Dairyland'. Check out this link to the history of Wisconsin cheesemaking.

I'm from Wisconsin...of course I LOVE cheese! My favorite is going to the cheese factory and getting cheese curds fresh out of the hoppers. Warm and squeeky....mmmmm.
mine are, in no particular order:.
"the friends".
"glean".
"Birth Canal" - from the 'Youth' book
i was a 5th generation jw so i have my whole entire family in this borg.. my uncle died yesterday.
he was the one that owned the antebellum home i grew up in (built in 1837).
his son was a very dear friend of mine because we were close to the same age.
Here's my experience.
something has gotten on my nerves a bit recently.
there are numerous discussions regarding the validity of the bible which usually result in the following:.

Something has gotten on my nerves a bit recently. There are numerous discussions regarding the validity of the bible which usually result in the following:
* An ExJW who has doubts about the bible concludes there is no god
* An atheist points out the bible inconsistencies and as a result says its ridiculous to believe in a god.
* A Christian who sees value in the bible asserts that the bible god is GOD (and none other)
What bugs me is that everyone seems to ignore the fact that there are so many religions in the world who don't acknowledge the bible at all and the validity of the bible has NO bearing whatsoever on the question of whether a Deity or Deities exist.
Too many "god doesn't exist" threads centre on the Christian view of God.
I would expand this to say that not ALL 'Christians' view God in the same way. It seems to me most rejection of God is a rejection of the 'fundamentalist-type God'. I have fallen into this as well and I suppose you could call me an atheist in regard to a sky-daddy. However, I am coming into a type of belief of 'God' again which is a God that is harder to put a finger on. Something that trancends all 'masks' of God which man has created in his/her image.
I believe the atheism that you see run rampant here is simply part of the process of growing spiritually for many. Many will reject the sky-daddy but ultimately return to a different type of spirituality. This spirituality will be much deeper and have a greater positive effect on their lives.
