What really ended the book study in private homes?

by Alfred in

it's been over 3 years since the book study in private homes was discontinued and some jws are still scratching their heads over it.

although a letter was read to all congregations explaining that "book study night" would now be "family worship night", there was still much speculation among jws as to the real reason behind this decision (the great tribulation was about to start, jehovah was simplifying the lives of jws, to lessen the burden of poor jws who had no money for gas, etc.)...

but as we all know, decisions like these from the gb invariably have some ulterior motive behind it... and discussion boards such as this one usually finds a way to dig up the truth for all to see... but after reading several threads on this subject, i'm really not sure we've uncovered all the facts yet.... so i have to ask... what do you believe really ended the book study in private homes?

To believe anything else is delusional and naive.

Wow!

would you have gone to college?.

would you have gone to jail?.

would you have been wealthy?.

Agreed. Many "high achievers" in my gang. Some have broken free. Better late than never. I often wonder what could have been. But, fortunately, for most, life goes on.

Disfellowshipping Rescinded!

by 00DAD in

has anyone been successful in getting their disfellowshipping rescinded?

i specifically do not mean getting reinstated.

i want to know if anyone that was disfellowshipped was able to officially and through the congregation and/or the organization have their status as a "disfellowshipped person" changed without getting "reinstated" through the normal procedures?.
