Hi moski7 - I guess that is why I am asking
What I think I know is that they are a break away group from the standard JWs in Romainia. Apart from that I know nothing else.

Who remembers the Circuit Orchestra's? How good was yours?
by eyeslice inin the days before 'simplification', the days of 3 day circuit assemblies (fri evening plus sat & sun), when we used have catering departments that cooked and served up hot meals, we also used to have circuit orchestras.. i must say ours was pretty poor though, only matched by the lacklustre singing.. eyeslice.
(bee in his bonnet since mrs eyeslice went to singing practice at local kh on sunday evening).

Wife off to singing practice tonight will the new songbook be any better?
by eyeslice ineven as a loyal jw i though thought our singing was pretty crap.
now, i sometimes catch a religious service on the radio and cannot help thinking how much better 'worldly' churches are in their approach to the use of music in their worship.
personally, if i were going to choose a religion based on music, i'd have to join a church with a gospel choir; i just love the warmth and enthusiasm of gospel music.. .

10 Failed Doomsday Predictions - Witnesses Did Not Make Top 10 Unless you Count the Millerites
by zarco inwith the upcoming disaster film "2012" and the current hype about mayan calendars and doomsday predictions, it seems like a good time to put such notions in context.
most prophets of doom come from a religious perspective, though the secular crowd has caused its share of scares as well.
one thing the doomsday scenarios tend to share in common: they don't come to pass.. .

It is interesting though how the JWs are/are not backing off any specifics regarding the time of the end. 1914 is still a core doctrine yet at the same time things like the 'generation' doctrine has changed beyond recognition. As an outsider now, I think that they are confused and non-commital about the end times.

With the new songbook coming into use soon, the local congregation has organized a practice evening tonight. I don't much about the new songs but what are the chances that it will turn the congregations into songbirds?
PS My wife looks like an angel but sings like a frog! Harsh but true.

If The Society Could....What Else Would Be Considered "Improper" To Do?
by minimus inrecently there was a thread about the evils of "social networking" for witnesses.
facebook, my space and other similar sites are "worldly" and to be avoided.. before you know, nearly everything will be considered unacceptable for a christian witness of jehovah.
let's have fun and go to extremes...what else will be a no-no?.

Not sure whether banning would be in order. People have the right to eat what they like but they also need to be aware of the consequences. Diseases such as cancer, diabetese and cancer continue to be the scurge of the wealthy developed nations.
I have just finished reading a book called 'The China Study'. It might seem to be a little extreme to many but there seems little doubt that a vegetarian, almost vegan, diet is the best for all round health and avoiding cancer. Personally, I am vegetarian for a number of reasons and try to eat as little processed foods as possible.

Ex-Elders Outnumber Elders In My KH; what does that suggest to you?
by Room 215 inright now, the number of ex- elders (either resigned, pushed out or df'd) outnumber the present elders; what does this suggest to you?

I think that Zarco has just about summed it for me.
Only rarely as an elder did I feel that being an elder was truely Christ like. Perhaps I would still be there if elders really did tend to the sick and those in need but the sad reality is that the whole set up lends itself to politics, back-biting and back-stabbing. After a life time in, I was glad to get out.
