I remember the old marking system Millie. They could do that, The fact that there is an old marking system that apparently is no longer used,and no one remembers, illustrates that new light changes everything.

Crazy guy do you really believe if the shunning stopped that people would learn ttatt? If they structured it right the opposite would happen. You would have these new members who you could now talk to who are considered spiritually weak and need encouragement. Nothing the newly reinstated could say would change their minds. It makes my flesh crawl just telling someone how it might work on here as I am sure the GB is monitoring this site. -

I think it is entirely possible, they have lost a lot of qualified people(elders, public speakers,etc)! More people fading away every day and not many new coming in, in the developed world. They could adopt new light.
What ever is published this week in the Watchtower could easily be republished in a little while as something else and not be remembered by the majority of the publishers.
They would probably find a way to make it conditional. Maybe only those who are recently disfellowshiped, not long time disfellowshipees or known apostates.
We all have to remember this is a world wide corp who in the old days could say or print something in India or Sri Lanka and no body in the rest of the world would know or hear about it, but not today.
When a publishing whorehouse like the WTBTS gets desperate anything is possible.

Inherit the wind
by truthseeker100 inhas anyone seen the movie inherit the wind?
i just got done watching the 1999 remake of the original 1960.. it's about two lawyers arguing in court about the guilt or innocence of a school teacher, teaching evolution.. it's about as pertinent today as it was in 1999 or 1960. it's really a good movie.

My sister was invited to a Judicial Committee
by opusdei1972 intoday i called to my sister and she told me that two elders went to her house to announce her that a judicial committe is waiting her in the kingdom hall this friday.
she told them that she will confirm if she will go.
however, i have told her that she shouldn't go, instead she should ask them to write a formal letter, with signatures, asking her for which charges she should be submitted in a private room with two men (or three?

Another addendum to the elders manual is they are not to pursue judicial action against people who threaten suicide.
Tell your sister to write a letter saying that the very thought of such a meeting makes her feel suicidal and she is going for therapy and will let them know how she is.
(dont ever get back with them)
OR - if your sister happens to be seeing a therapist currently, have the therapist write a letter stating that the person is "too fragile" for this meeting at the present time.
I know someone who did this - worked like a charm.
Millie210 You evil girl you! If we are ever in a fight I hope your on my side.

I would't go. It's not a court case and these elders have no power over anybody!
