"The Governing Body loves you"- Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses
"Love means not ever having to say you're sorry." - Love Story by Erich Segal
Maybe the Governing Body is stuck in a bizarro alternative universe in which they think that if they say they love you that this negates their responsibility to ever apologize for their misdeeds?
hi there folks.. i took a bit of time out from the forum, however i'm back again.. what was it really like for you, your experiences good or bad, etc, in the org?.
if you were granted a listening ear by the gb, what changes would you like to see implemented?.
Jehovah's Witnesses is one mixed up and confused religion. Woman are the BACKBONE of this organization yet are viewed as second class 'citizens'. When I was a young boy in the 1960's I couldn't understand this scenario: There was an old anointed sister in our congregation that had been a school teacher and was a bookkeeper at a car dealership. She kept the 'accounts' for the congregation but was not actually THE Accounts Servant. She was a Book Study Conductor but was not teaching......she was just conducting the study. I always felt sorry for intelligent and accomplished women in this religion. If you had a dick you could hold a position in God's Organization and be a dick too!

The Washington Post did cover her interview. It is accessible on their website. The article is entitled: "Melania Trump discusses #MeToo, her marriage and that controversial jacket in a rare interview".
It is written by Emily Heil and was posted today at 6:32 am.

Between 5 and 7 years old. I had my own copy of The PHOTO DRAMA OF CREATION; the rubbish contained in that book did "it" for me.
“best life ever” is displayed at watchtower farms, near pine bush.
the jehovah’s witnesses' maze is a work of devotional art, and not intended for exploration like the pagan ones made for hudson valley tourists every halloween.

Do you suppose they have another corn maze this year? Or are they too broke to create another one?

The Governing Body does not want the rank and file Witnesses to carry hand guns. I think this article is a self evident reason why. I remember Ken Carr as being somewhat of a 'hothead'.
i am an elementary school teacher of the fourth grade.
in times past, students would start learning cursive handwriting in third grade and by fourth should be transitioning to writing in cursive at all times.
as you might be aware, this has all but been taken out of the curriculum.
Here is my non-professional opinion:
I have wondered if giving up cursive writing would be detrimental in the long run for the mental and emotional health of a child and eventually for the maturing adult. Personally, I think it could be disastrous for a child's self-communication skills and ability to communicate with others clearly. When a child learns to form letters cursively, the neuronal connections in the brain for self conversation might strengthen as the child struggles to form the letters correctly and then to create a coherent sentence that will allow them to present their ideas clearly. Also, the effort to form cursive letters seems to take more concentration and could also lead to more a creative skillset than may be possible with just forming the block letters of printing. I personally believe that this is why young people are becoming less and less able to communicate clearly and openly with others; because they are losing the ability for self dialogue. (Of course, technology is also responsible for the inability for some young persons to communicate clearly when in personal conversation.) At any rate, I have talked my theory over with a psychologist, 2 high school teachers and 1 middle school teacher. All of them think that I am on to something but that they have never given the idea any thought. Just my own pet theory and I have no scientific basis for coming to this conclusion. If it were me, I would find time to teach cursive writing as another form of intellectual challenge for the child's developing brain.
it was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.
for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.
very interesting times!
"In the king of the north Jehovah God does not have to deal with someone whom he did not foresee. ..................During the more than two thousand years that he has been bearing rule, the "king" has undergone changes, from the Seleucid dynasty of the Hellenic kings, through the pagan Roman emperors, the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox emperors, the Germanic emperors of the Holy Roman empire, the Austrian and German Kaisers, the Nazi imperial ruler and now the Communist imperial ruler."-YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH page 291 published 1958
