This may have been discussed, but I just recently was told that a KM this past year stated that inactive ones are now to be treated as if they are df'd. Is this so? Thanks.

Been awhile since I've viewed the site, so this may have been discussed. But I just read over the Jan. 15, 2014 WT, and found what I think is yet another definition of "Generation that will not pass away...". Now it's referring to TWO groups of anointed! The second is the group that is younger apparently, but knew members of the first dead and dying group. So the WT is sort of setting another "date" for the beginning of the tribulation, because they're saying some of the second group will still be alive when it starts! WHAT??

Awake magazine 1973 The Dangers of playing Chess!! Why it's Evil.
by Witness 007 inawake 1973 3/22 p.12 "...the spirit of competion between players can lead to unplesant circumstances...most families manage to keep the conflicts that arise in games to the chess board.
but in some homes tensions linger long after checkmate.
chess has been a game of war since it originated...a play substitute for the art of war....a danger of stirring up competition with one another even developing hostility towards another, something the bible warns christians to avoid doing...what effect does chess have upon one?

Hmmm....I wonder what those ancient little Israelite boys would play when their dads were off fulfilling their military duty for the king??? Would they possibly have dared to play....WAR???

Voting a conscience matter??

the local elders sent a letter home with my hubby, pretty much stating that after "many" attempts to visit and speak with me, this letter is once again asking to meet because it came to their attention that i voted in the last pres.
election.

Blues Brother, You gave me the answer I was looking for: the most recent "ruling" on the matter. Thank you! Guess I'm going to be "out" quite soon!

Thank you, Blondie! I'll check those out. But knowing as I do the way JW's think, having been a very active member for almost 60 years, I am sure of the inevitible outcome of all this.

Thanks for such quick responses from everyone. (BTW, I have tried to take my photo off as my avatar on this site, but it's impossible. I put it up when I was very new to this situation and new to my separation from the WTS. I see now that may have been unwise.)
Boyzone, I have a huge family of witnesses, but the only ones I'm concerned about "hurting" is my husband's parents, who are very elderly now. I've been trying to keep "under the radar" as you say only for their sakes. I've been baptized since 1961, am now 62 years old and have fully abandoned this religion for about 3 years now, although it was an ongoing withdrawal since about 2001.
So, I guess if I meet with these elders or not, either way, I'm going to be officially out. That in itself will be a relief, except for the two people that I know it would deeply hurt. However, I'm way past the point on putting on any kind of "front". Let the chips fall.

Happy New Year one and all!,
The local elders sent a letter home with my hubby, pretty much stating that after "many" attempts to visit and speak with me, this letter is once again asking to meet because it came to their attention that I voted in the last pres. election. So they need to "clear this up" and discuss the "next step".
Yes, I voted (and I felt great about it!!!)
Why are they making this an issue! The Nov. 1, 1999 Questions from Readers clearly states more than once that voting is ultimately a conscience matter. I cannot find any "new light" since then. Does anyone know what the WTS's stance right now is on this subject?
I appreciate it!
