New cards are out. Although I thought they only had to fill them out if their stance on some of the conscience matter issues changed.
What if you're married with kids and one mate is a witness and one is not?

Do You Tend To Believe New Posters When They Tell Us What Bethel's Up To?
by minimus incircuit overseers were supposed to be a thing of the past.
"presiding overseers" were supposed to take over.. there seem to be certain people "in the know" that reveal information and it may sound very convincing-- but is it??.
do you tend to believe what new posters say if they tell us about "new light" from the organization?.

In the movie credits there are two sets of children. If you look the actors up one set is older than the other(first set is young; last set is older)
. Their clothes may have been similar but they weren't the same kids or same age.

I thought pioneer hours have been reduced. Several times.
I don't believe what every poster says but I have a ton of fun reading and posting my thoughts on speculation threads.
When concrete stuff, like the elders manual, get leaked and the information posted her I love it. I remember several years ago the bethel branch manual was leaked too. That stuff is priceless.

Is the WTBTS having cash flow problems?
by JW GoneBad ini was at a 2 day circuit assembly this weekend and i was surprised at how many times mention was made directly or indirectly reminding those in attendance (1,600) of the need to give $$$.
even in the soliloquies or skits they seemed to work in the need to give $$$.. it made me wonder if the society is having 'cash flow' problems and hence is desparate for cash.
over the years that i've attended conventions and assemblies the need to give $$$ has been subtle (imo), til now.

Weren't they going to buy a large plot of land near Warwick, NY? I thought they were going to build a facility even bigger than Patterson??

What % of current JWs sincerely believe Armageddon will come within the next 30 years?
by jj123jj123 injust to give you a little background about myself, i was a born-in, i'm in my late 20's now, i faded away a few years ago after researching the history of the wtbs on the internet.
my fade was aided by moving away with my job(i definately feel lucky about that).
eventually, i had discussions with a couple of my closer jw friends about why i no longer believed in the wtbs.

I remember myself and others saying that it was loving of God to have chosen a later date than we expected so that more could come into the truth.
Oh yes, how loving indeed...

Old members....
by Botzwana ini was looking through this site and noticed many that haven't responded to new posts in 6 to 9 years.
do these people go back to the org or do they just go live their lives?
newworldslacker is one i saw that is gone.

Some of us stay around because our immediate and extended family are all witnesses so even though we've personally moved on and are exploring other parts of our life we are faced with JW issues almost daily.

High Profile Case: Seeking Reinstatement
by headisspinning inbut our situation is very difficult and quite high profile.... i was raised as a jw and my mother was very strict and abusive.
i got baptized at age 14.. my mother actually called on my (present) husband's mom in service.
she was on the initial call resulting in his mom coming in the truth and him being raised in it from about age 8 or 9.. despite a very abusive step-father, he followed his mom's lead and came into the truth.

Wow! This site and this thread contain some of the truest displays of love as I've ever seen. We're not perfect but by God when we put our mind to it we can be helpful, loving and kind.
To Headisspinning and anyone else who needs it - we hear you, we understand and we are ready to listen.

If I recall most of the newer GB2.0 members come from the ranks of COs and DOs. That would be the Service Department. That Department was run by Jaracz. I'm sure he stacked the deck with like minded individuals.
