In the class reunion bio she wrote that she still volunteers her time to Watchtower. I gues they are heavily involved. Perhaps fighting humanitarian battles for the Watchtower as outside reps.

A family member saved!!!!! Alright!!!! That is fantastic news. I know what you mean about being sick to your stomach when our children go to the meetings. You held in there and didn't shun and now you are reaping the rewards. Congratulations to both you and your son!!!

Every situation is different. I'm glad you'll be free and I hope you are cautious about letting your son hang out with your parents.
I also know how dificult it can be when family shun you and you feel the pressure of those you use to be friends with in the congregation condemning you.
Hang in there and continue to grow as a person; making new friends and having new experiences.
Good luck!

Wow, this bit of info surprised even me!!!
by LeKook ini just spoke to a witness friend (has been a witness 25+ years), who said that the elders in her congregation told her that witnesses had better be prepared to begin going door to door, not to announce "good news", but to denounce people who refuse to accept "the trvth".
has anyone else heard about this?
i thought it was a joke at first, but she said no, that's where the elders told her things were headed.

This is from the WT 2008 7/15 pages 6,7
What developments are yet in store for the preaching work? The siege of Jericho, recorded in the book of Joshua, provides an illustration. Recall that just before God destroyed Jericho, the Israelites were instructed to march around the city once a day for six days. On the seventh day, however, there was to be a marked increase in their activity. Jehovah told Joshua: “You should march round the city seven times and the priests should blow the horns. And it must occur that when they sound with the horn of the ram, . . . all the people should shout a great war cry; and the wall of the city must fall down flat.” (Josh. 6:2-5) It is possible that there will be a similar expansion of our preaching activity. No doubt, by the time of the destruction of the present system of things, we will have seen the greatest witness to God’s name and Kingdom in the history of this world.

WTBTS Approves of Admitted Pedophiles Serving as Elders!
by 00DAD inapparently it's now ok for known child abusers to be recommended as elders as long as the "sin" was years in the past: .
"for example, the sin may involve past child abuse, and this would likely disqualify him for years.
" - shepherd the flock of god, p. 38 (2010).

NEW RUMOR: WT ALLOWS BIRTHDAYS
by J.R.R.Watchtower ini've just read at a spanish forum for ex-jw that the wt has cooked a new light article series about social celebrations, including birthdays and aniversaries.
according to a member of this forum 'in short' the wt will let witnesses to decide by 'their bible trained conscience' either they celebrate birthdays or not.
is this rumor based in some real facts or it's just bullshit?.

Can someone provide the reference that was mentioned earlier from the WT 2000 Question from Readers on birthdays and anniversaries? I looked and didn't see any QFR that touched on that.

That's the beauty of the WTS. They put the idea in print and the conductor and congregation add the intended meaning verbally.
It's a win-win for the WTS
Win 1: the point is driven home by the local congregation which means they take ownership of the point because they feel like they're included and important.
Win 2: The WTS has no statement on record with this particular article of making the direct comparison and a month from now no one will believe an apostate or doubter who happens to remember the comments the audience and conductor made.
Sigh....
