Thanks for the heads up.
i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.
I'm very sorry to hear that truman, what a terrible tragedy for you and your family.

and the above character developed---we just had to share ot with the rest of the universe.
I will be conspicuous by my absence.
i've known this elder for years.
when i was in the borg he told me how he was in the music business before he became a jw.. he made a point of telling me how ruthless it was and how he had been ripped off for thousands of pounds.. he did many talks from the platform over how as a young man he was involved in a typical 'drugs, rock and roll' lifestyle and how becoming a jw changed his life.. there was a young guy in the congregation who was particulary interested in music.
this elder counselled him that it was ok to do it i.e.
I've sent you a PM.
international cultic studuies association this is being held on 21st april 2012 in london at baden powell house, queens gate.
there is a charge to attend and i am going so would love to meet up with others who are going.
i will try to report back on the day and let you all know what it was like.
Looking forward to it.
are you disfellowshipped, disassociated, active, inactive???

Inactive.
heard a new rumor that:.
the borg is going to phase out big district assemblies - so they can fit 'em in assembly halls.. they will reduce the size of circuits.
they will synchronize c.o.
Maybe this is what the grab for the title deeds of Kingdom Halls is about? If the WT owns the halls, they can force congregations to sell them and pitch in with other local congregations to create more complexes which will double as assembly halls?
