January 2025 Letter to the Elders
by blondie in

i used to send my comments on these letters to atlantis, so i will share them here if that is okay, if not, i'll still do it.

:) 1) medical matters: (technology has arrived) listing of hlc members is not online and updated regularly, but only elders have access, not for general circulation.

(and in case the reader of the letter needs clarification) copies should not be made for publishers or on the information board (!).

JWN, 23 years posting Blondie
by blondie in
1. jw
2. friends
can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.

i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.

in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.
Polygamy WTS history 1941, 1947, 1951
by blondie in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i bet you didn't know that the wts allowed male jws to keep the wives they had before being baptized, but no more after baptism....but only in countries where the government allowed polygamy legally.

i wonder how the scripture that says a christian man should only have one wife?

september 1, 1995 wt p. 25-26. it was in 1947 that the first three gilead graduates arrived in nigeria.

DISFELLOWSHIPPING UPDATES JWFACTS.COM
by blondie in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i have followed an ex-jw website that has many articles on the past history of the wts and current articles using wt publications to tell the real truth not just the edited wt version.

considering recent changes this link to df'ing was updated in august 2024. it is worth a serious read, puts things in categories and has timely comments from a long-time ex-jw from australia, ex-bethelite and father is a circuit overseer.

i have used this many times so i don't "reinvent the wheel" when discussing certain topics on jwn.
