  Do CO's discuss inactive publishers?

  by Inquisitor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  during his visit, what exactly does the circuit overseer discuss with the body of elders with regards to inactive publishers?.

  are inactive publishers even on the agenda?

  or is this of no concern to the co and pretty much left to the discretion of the local boe?.

  Do you still call it "the truth"?

  by True North in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you find youself still calling it "the truth" even though you are an ex-jw?

  for instance, in one posting i just read, the poster wrote "when i was in the truth..." .

  not a big deal, perhaps, but really not such a good thing either as it's a habitual holdover from the program of mental conditioning we were subject to.

  i had my operaton this afternoon, and everything went well!

  i've had problems breathing through my nose for the last few years, so hopefully that'll be all fixed when i heal up.

  i'd heard a lot of horror stories about how bad the op is, but it didn't seem that bad.

  QUESTIONS FROM READERS----CHECK THIS OUT!

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  seeing as i have the wt in front of me today, i thought you'd enjoy the questions from readers from the february 15, 2007 article on the evils and pagan origins on toasting or clinking of glasses.

  the article specifically mentions how not everything today that was of pagan origin is necessarily bad, and sites "wedding rings" as being of pagan origin, but it's not viewed like that now.

  then, incredibly, they go on and say that while toasting might not be considered a religious practice today, there's "good reason" for christians to avoid it------without giving any valid reason why other than: do as we say:.

  What do women REALLY want?

  by Abandoned in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  ok, i've heard it all: sincerity, honesty, security, money, love, romance, flowers, poems, promises, and more.

  but, in my arguably limited experience, i've been shot down while doing all of these (at differnt times obviously).

  so, what do women really want?
