  GREAT Visit from the Elders and new stuff

  the elders stopped by today.

  they spoke of a new arrangement where the org is asking everyone to come back regardless of their sins.

  they just want them to come back with impunity.

  ...although I have to say, the next time an elders visit can be called GREAT, will be the first time.

  I hear you South Central. It's just that there are a lot of lurking JW's who don't want to be JW's anymore. Maybe they want to try and fade, but feel they have to confess their sins.

  Misinformation can cause a lot of trouble. I realize this is an internet discussion board, but its always good to discuss these things. I used to be up on everything when I first got out. Thankfully, I have been out of the loop for 4 years now.

  Nothing personal meant on my end South Central. I wish you the best to keep those pesky elders off your back!

  It's clear to me that funny is in the eye of the beholder. When something is funny, I laugh.

  If something makes one person laugh, its a joke.

  If you get a bunch of people laugh for 30 minutes, its a hit comedy.

  Say what you will, Family Guy is a hit comedy, thus, it is funny. Not to all, but to a good amount of people.

  Hey South Central, thats interesting. If you hadn't been around for a few years, but suddenly turn in time, yeah, you'll be on the elders radar for sure.

  Whatever those elders said to you South Central, I don't think they are right. At best, they didn't understand a letter that came out. That is not surprising, so many letters are read to the body as opposed to each elder reading them (as they should), so everyone hears different things.

  I doubt there is much of anything thats changed. If you sin "grossly", the elders will want to know to give you a JC.

  If one can now sin while not attending meetings or professing to be a JW and can get off without a JC, do you know how many JW's will take a 3 year vacation?

  Hmmm, this doesn't sound right, with all respect. Maybe a copy of the letter can be obtained?

  I heard it put best about explaining jokes and humor. It's sort of like dissecting a frog. When you do it, the frog dies in the process.

  Funny is funny, it doesn't need an explanation. Stupid is stupid, and it always requires an explanation, which is why Palin's mouth is always open.

  In case anyone missed this, Palin needs publicity. Anyone who takes on a cartoon puts themselves on the cartoon's level. You just can't win.

  Of course, we have already discussed how Palin is proabably a genius of Titanic proportions.

  Thanks for sharing. Just by the way you phrased your statement, there is nothing new about elders asking anyone, regardless of their sins to come back. With impunity? That is interesting. I will be paying attention to this for the future.

  If they really found the Ark, I hope they take it to Brooklyn and open it up during a GB meeting so they all melt.
