Talent shows at the KH?

by skeeter1 in

jw
friends

so, i know of a real talent show that took place at a kingdumb hall about 10 years ago.

there was never another talent show.

but, the jws all loved it and still talk about it.. is there a "rule" or something in the elder's manual about this?

baltar447

I know of at least one area where they put a talent show on yearly. NOT at the KH though.

ks10-e (official release), Letter from Bro. who scanned it! Newer version with BOE LTRs

by yknot in

while an earlier version was made available privately the time has come to 'progress'.. conscious class and ex both strongly adhere to not keeping things 'hidden' in regards to wts publications, talks and documents which are circulated in order to maintain it's position.. another wonderful poster (who has yet to give me permission to name) has 'reduced' and 'bookmarked' the first full copy link i was given by our 'winner'.. in this newest and final 'clean' copy link you find two other additions besides the reduction/bookmarking..... the brother who uploaded the entire book wishes all to have a copy that includes both boe ltrs (pre-ks ltr and spiral binding ltr).

also another development has occurred.... the brother responsible for this book being brought into light and put forth for public consumption and discussion has requested i post this letter explaining to 'us' (jwn posters/global audience) and 'them' (wts of penn & ny).. i ask you give attention to his words/ experiences as he is representative of a newly emerging demographic within the conscious class.

so without further ado i give you his link and the 'stage' if you will to 'brother johnson'....... [link removed - contact ynot for further info - lady lee].

Hey BwBfW, I can't find the torrent either. Many will be reluctant to send it to you since you've only got 1 post. Stick around a bit or start a thread, if there's anything we can help you with we'll be happy to. Welcome!

12/15 Study WT Questions From Readers - What to do with frozen embryos

by traveb in

jw
friends

didn't see this posted already so i thought i would start a new topic.

three-page article about in vitro fertilization and what to do with frozen embryos.

the way i read it is everything to do with ivf is a conscience matter unless it involves a 3rd party then it's considered porneia.

New JW.org video - using the simplified Watchtower to "teach" children

by cedars in

well, now that the new jw.org website is up and running, the videos keep coming thick and fast.. this latest highly-polished production shows an asian family, evidently living in america (or some other developed country), explaining how the watchtower in simplified english benefits them.. here is the link.... http://www.jw.org/en/news/by-region/world/video-clip-helping-children/.

the first thing that struck me was the boys playing football together at the beginning.

it seems playing soccer in pairs (as with the ministry!

No more 3-day DCs starting in 2013?

by respectful_observer in

apologies if there is another recent thread on this, but i have heard from 4 different people in 3 different geographic areas (including someone who does advance work for the dcs), that beginning in 2013 the three day dc program will be replaced by a second two-day circuit assembly.

some people were passing the info along like a secret, others seemed to think that everyone already knew.. if everyone in j-dub land is already talking about this, how is it not all over this forum??.

anyway, can anyone confirm or deny?.

Rumor Elders Will Receive Name Badges For Every Meeting.

by HelpMeBelieve in

i keep hearing rumors elders are going to be getting permanent badge cards to wear to every meeting.

one excited brother told me, "it would be nice if new ones to the kingdom hall could see who their shepherds are.

there is a great surge in activity, new bible students will be able to locate the proper elder in charge of bible studies!

baltar447

Well, you NEVER know! Every time there's a rumor that HAS come true many were saying it would never happen. I remember most denying the Book Study end/change but it happened. Many said "they would NEVER do that!" And yet they DID. Honestly there's NO telling but they are capable of virtually anything.

Lady Gaga and an Ex JW

by Christ Alone in

last night i watched a show that, i thought, really shows the attitude of jws towards the rest of the world.

it was extremely enlightening and i hope it opened alot of peoples eyes that think jws are just nice christian people, but are not a cult.

it was a show on "e" that is called "opening act".

baltar447

Bad press for JWs... gotta love it. Makes them appear like assclowns.
