  Does anyone have any "undercurrent" amount that the WTS wants for those "revised" NWTs or anyone volunteering how much they are "donating?"

  Also, pixel, were there any "Highlight" comments in that Feb. KM?

  Welcome,,so glad you have had second thoughts before re-investing too much back into JWism again. Glad you are going through your thorough 'checkup' process now.

  Strange that your brother is so standoffish. Maybe that you never had to go through the DF process, that he is jealous? Weird, no matter.

  Glad too that your dad, is having no problem doing such a thing as reporting on you. Seems to be a little more circumstances that parents are not turning on their kids that are leaving JW life and beliefs. I hope that these parents who are soon enough going into their aging processes, are realizing they need their kids no matter.

  I Want Your Thoughts On This: A 80 Year Old Man Lost His Wife....

  and within a month, he has been seeing a 69 year old woman who lived upstairs from him.

  .

  the wife has been sick for a year and she passed away in october.. now, the 80 year old man is like a teenager with this woman, making out in public places with this woman and introducing her to family and friends as his new girlfriend that he "loves".. the father's family thinks this is weird and are concerned about it.. any thoughts?

  I think it is his business, companionship, etc. Though I can understand family's concern if there's a marriage, & inheritance issues.

  Also, Australia showed "publisher" amount. I assume it was the "peak" stat. Shows an increase. But, looking at 2012 stats and population, with they show in mag. publishers are not increasing with population. Population increasing at a little faster rate than JWs.

  Biggest pain in the side of the Governing Body of JWs

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at http://www.anointedjw.org/ a higher eschelon jw mentions that at a meeting of co's with do's it was stated that anointedjw.org website is the biggest pain in the side of the governing body.. do you feel that what's being published at anointedjw.org is having a big effect on the gb and / or on the congregations?.

  if so what is it about their articles there that are opening jw eyes to an awakened state where so many others have tried and failed to awaken jws?.

  what do you foresee could hapen as a result of pressure from anointedjw.org and their articles on the gb's attitude and their reactions?.

  I hope all the ex-JW Internet sites 'altogether,' including this one (JWN), 'combined' are creating a 'punch in the stomach' to the GB. Former JWs, whether they use their personal name or alias, can speak out finally.

  Kate,,whose your favorite comedians? Years ago, when I had a 'down' time, I found a series of oldies of "I love Lucy." I always loved her humorous shows. Find some funny movies,,ones that can make you laugh out loud. Humor is great medicine. Also,, when we are stressed, we forget to breath deeply. Force,, gasped that oxygen in you; for body & brain.

  Bruya.. thanks I love that video,,seen it before,,always makes me laugh,,that couple is so adorable.

  Next WT venture: franchising all coffee and breakfast shops. JW field service break times - to turn into revenue for WTS investment.

  Good idea = "new light" for GB
