  well the original theme seem to promise something and
  the replaced theme now seems to be more neutral...the
  original theme, as one elder stated, was a bit premature.
  it is known, that jw's think, the end now is really close, quite
  few believed, that iraq war would be a start of the final battle
  also depression in spreading among jw's like sars, some
  are even thinking of suicide...at least in our country with
  2000 jw's...and this is all confirmed info, not just gossip

  I will eventually find out, I thought someone knew something...
  The elders were quite upset about that change and wondered,
  why it happened...

  WTBTS won the golden globe award at the same festival last year (2002) for "NO BLOOD-MEDICINE MEETS THE CHALLENGE" video and silver globe for "THE SILENT EPIDEMIC" video...I was wondering who this "intermedia" firm who organizes "world media festival" is anyway...in "info about intermedia" it states:
  
  Since 1965 intermedia has been active in the field of sponsored, audio-visual media-marketing. It is intermedia's particular strength to support Public - Relations work of Companies, Associations and Ministries. These institutions have a message they want to communicate to specified recipiants - with the aim to gain sympathy from their relevant target-groups by communicating open and honest PR - information. They want to communicate with their target-groups, they want to get into a dialogue. [yeah right!] intermedia develops the relevant communication-strategies for the benefit of the sponsor and bundles up these activities in such a way that they result in successful and efficient media-marketing with feedback information to the sponsor. Cora Chinbuah is the owner of intermedia and offers sponsors of informational media the service of a special agency.
  
  It is also noticable, that the special award is presented by United nations: The United Nations present the
  UNITED NATIONS SPECIAL AWARD
  Department of Public Information New York, USA for a programme distinguished by careful research and a thorough and objective approach to UN issues.In WT PR they mentioned some "respected organizations", such as CBC News (with recent JW abuse airing)...this selection is quite interesting, considering all "world media festival" participants:

  Did You Know That You Could Be Disfellowshipped For French Kissing?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a number of years ago, a body of elders discussed the matter of "french kissing".

  they came to the conclusion that this practice of "french kissing" was a disfellowshipping offense on the grounds of "engaging in loose conduct".

  one young couple were judicially reproved for their "sin" and the elders felt that since the matter was not widely known, that they would be "privately reproved".

  Submitting a DA letter and walking away?

  i have been perusing through the many boe documents i have recently received and noticed something interesting.

  regarding ones who disassociate themselves, there have been many discussions on this board where people tell others not write a letter as you are giving away any legal footing you may have against the society.

  well, it appears that there are two routes you can take without officially getting da'd, according to the society's own documents.

  what about this: baptizm is only a SYMBOL of a personal dedication to jehovah,
  what if you say, that you didn't dedicate yourself to jehovah, because that wasn't
  explained to you properly, so the symbol of your dedication just isn't valid. no
  dedication means no valid baptizm. thoughts?
