Nothing in over 2 months? All parties applied for "oral" arguments. But no follow up? Do we assume that "oral" has not been done yet or? Is this 'stretch' common? I think I read after written *and oral* have been presented, then the Court has 3 months (or 90 days) for decision?

Gayle

Interesting,,'Avg. Pubs', and 'Aux Pio'. not noted with any increases. Suspect, don't ya think? From 2011 to 2012, Aux. Pio. showed a decrease of 11%.

Glad you had an exJW friends to move in. Hopefully your remaining JW friends will remain so. Hopefully your mom, elder dad, and sis won't push for you to get DF'd. Best wishes for you in continuing college. and in your freedom of mind and heart!

MAJOR DOCTRINE CHANGE IN 1/15/2014 WT ON GENERATION TEACHING

by EndofMysteries in

the generation scripture no longer is speaking about 'the end'.

i'll quote it...... side note: tons of lies in this article, i'll point out at the end of the post.

"yet, jesus words at matthew 24:34 give us confidence that at least some of "this generation will by no means pass away" before seeing the start of the great tribulation.".

Gayle

wow,,90,000 to 17,000..I remember the Divine Purpose book,,a lot of oldtimers must still have that book. Well. that was a 80% decrease,, wouldn't it be thrilling to see that happen now? This site would go on overload. Even, 20% would be thrilling; could it happen in 2014? or soon after? I expect 20% are very close to leaving, if they have a 'last straw' soon.

International Conventions in the U.S.A 2014

what's the deal with this?

could it be related to the rumored reduction of the ammount of dc's for next year here in thr u.s.?

elders in the northeast (i assume other area's as well) received a letter inviting them to a "special" meeting 2-3 weeks ago to discuss hospitality at int'l dc's to be held next summer.

Gayle

Wasn't there 16 U.S. cities for "international?" Suppose to be only for areas "assigned." All others to go to 'non-international' conventions (no doubt smaller sizes).

good read ;).

Seems they will drop the 'public' Watchtower (nobody reads it anyway of non-JWs, probably not even most JWs) and just use the Awakes for RVs and door-step Bible studies.

Their new tactic/message is: Simplify, Simplify, Simplify!
