I’ve never heard JWs define pornography as sexual immorality.
I think the change to “sexual immorality” is mainly an attempt to modernise the vocabulary because nobody uses the word fornication any more, unless it’s a comedian using it for a joke.
so i noticed this change in the text of the new silver nwt compared to the older nwt at matthew 5:32. old nwt:.
"however, i say to you that everyone divorcing his wife , except on the grounds of fornication makes her a subject for adultery...etc" .
new nwt:.

I know a brother who was inactive for years and had a box of alcohol delivered once a week. One Saturday the box was delivered just as two elders made a visit to his door. The elders said the box of alcohol was enough evidence he was a drunk and disfellowshipped him. There’s more to this story as well. The reason the two elders were calling on the brother was because his mother (a JW for nearly 60 years) had recently died and they intended to make arrangements with the son, who has severe psychological issues, to have her cremated. In the end I don’t think the sister ever was cremated. We are not sure what happened to her body, but her son was disfellowshipped for being a drunk.

Not like me. I don’t like alcohol, never drink it. I can’t relate to be honest.

Well he seemed friendly enough. Fairly typical supermarket encounter I’d say.
Do I remember reading that Tony Morris is independently wealthy through inheritance? What strikes me is why doesn’t he get his stuff delivered.
we all know the society would love to get rid of all the problems caused by clinging to 1914 and all they claimed it meant for the last 100+ years.. it looks like they are laying the groundwork for easing away from the whole concept of 1914. this would also let them do away with the ridiculous "overlapping generation" bullcrap.
what a diaper load that has been.... anyway, the following is from their super secret marching orders for april, 2019. draw your own conclusions.... "3.
“100 years of faithfulness”: the coordinator of the body of elders, or another elder, should be invited to read the following special announcement.
Well it’s come to something when April fools announcements make more sense than real Faithful Slave announcements,
If they were going to drop 1914 then they’d probably go about it somewhat like this.
a study of religious retention rates–that is, what percentage of people raised in a particular church or religion stay with it when they are grown–is quite interesting.

jdubs have alittle over 36%.
Probably true that JW retention is comparatively low, but as is often pointed out it’s a shame Pew sample for JWs is quite low (less than 200 I think) to be sure about the exact percentages.
what's up with this?
it seems that with the january study magazine it's been trimmed by by four pages.
have any of you commented on this?.
Just when you think cutbacks have reached their limit, they keep cutting back.
Hang on, it seems they’ve moved the contents page to the back of the magazine, that’s all. Still 32 pages. Or what do you mean?
