...at the next assembly.
i've heard from various sorces that the gb are planning on making it off limits, like they have already done for myspace.
has anyone else heard this?
"Ya that's basically what I meant...guess I could've worded it better but you know what I mean lol. It's one of many unwritten rules that if broken gets you in trouble."
You are so right, they rarely come out and say something. If they did say it they could be sued by fb or ms....LOL Legal dept. is in charge!
However, I can still remember one night when the co told us that if we were seen in line for an R rated movie we better expect to be taken back to the little room for questioning.

I also doubt they will ban it. Like Undercover said, they will disparage it and "Mark" those in the congregation that have a fb account. They will cite instances where children were hurt by being involved in an online community, how the society is only trying to protect them from satan's grasp, and how the internet is just Satan's latest playground that is replacing after school activities, drugs, and dances.
in us public schools, they used to have special classes for gifted students.
all students would be tested for academic achievement and iq, then placed in "gifted classes" with parental permission.. in my kingkongregation, parents would not give permission because it would make the children arrogant and later leave the trooftm.
it would also mean more time studying worldlytm subjects than necessary.. and if the student is female, oh hell no, she wasn't getting into the gifted courses, no way, no how!
It did. Back in Albuquerque I was slated to be bumped up a grade since I was reading at a college level in the 6th grade. My folks were very pleased and when the elders heard about it my folks were called prideful and arrogant and that if I was not already genetically like that then this promotion would seal my fate as an arrogant poopy. LOL
I graduated from college last May. I earned honors by making the President and Dean's list almost every term and I graduated Cum Laude with a 3.67 out of 4.00 gpa. I am actually more humble now than when I started college! All that learning and pressure to make it showed me how pride and arrogance have no place in my life. (I saw a prof and a couple fo students get tossed for that kind of attitude.)

don't know if i'm posting this on correct forum, but has anyone else received an email enititled 'watchtower!
' - i have zero idea how they obtained my email address, as i've only subscribed to ex-jw sites (even then, my email address would only be available to admin?
)- this and one other - (and this appears to be pro, indeed casting aspersions on 'conference call')?.
Nope, never got one either.
so, they just finished an over-priced un-needed remodel at one kh in "beer town" wi.
ordered by the building committee said the elder "formerly known as" the po (coboe now).
low and behold unknown to 99% of the rank and file the kh which also contains the living quarters of the co is on the selling market.
They used to stay with the brothers when I was a kid in the 70's.
after all, mother's day is supposed to be bad because of it's so-called roots in mother worship, right?.
I worship my mother every day. But especially today!
when we leave the wbt$ religious cult "jehovah`s witness`s"..the wbt$ encourages our familys to have little,or nothing to do with us..........our own jehovah`s witness parents will do exactly as the wbt$ commands..mine did.......my jehovah`s witness parents told other jehovah`s witness`s,"i hated all jehovah`s witness`s"..not true..i just did`nt like the religion..i had no problem with most individual jw`s.............................how did your jehovah`s witness family treat you,when you no longer wanted to participate as a jehovah`s witness?...........................................................................outlaw.
My mom and sibs are ok with it. It's my wife I am dreading might find out. She is not an uber jw but when it comes to defending them she is among the most tenacious. I have been helping my youngest son who still lives with us to think and make up his own mind. He and his mom get into some pretty heated debates and no matter how hard the evidence is, she is terrified of losing her dad's approval and defends the wt no matter what.
i'm looking for web site links to credible information about present governing body members specifically personal tax and financial records (personal u.s. and offshore bank accounts, net worth, financial and real estate holdings, blind trusts).
as public figures they're fair game..
Imagine what you would feel like if someone was going after your personal records and information. I think like me you would be outraged. These men are among the worst that humanity has ever produced, but they are entitled to their privacy. I know what you mean though. It is always nice to have proofs to help people see the truth, but the jw's don't seem to respond to proof. Apparently like me they have to get TIRED of the bs before they start digging for proof to support their views.
happy mother's day to all the mom's!
thanks for all you do for the world!.
