remember, you read it here first!.
dear brothers: .
we are pleased to announce that arrangements are being made for all baptized and unbaptized publishers who read and write english, along with their minor children, to be invited to locations where they can hear the 2013 annual meeting program that will be presented on saturday, .
Thanks St George!
Any 'Mericans out there too?? I imagine it's the same in the U.S.
Why would we be encouraged to go if we need to have tickets, unless they have a couple of extras. But then again, I am sure only the sec. is authorized to hand them out to regulars. hmmmm?
U.S. active undercover elders....any answers? Thank-you!!

Question for any in the know. My wife and are are technically inactive. We go to some meetings, but many people probably don't know that we haven't turned in time in a while.
We have been encouraged by family members to go. But according to this original letter, there are tickets involved. Is that still the case?
Are inactives, who "need encouragement" invited? or...would they (us) be turned away???
Thanks for anyone in "the knowing" class who can answer this question for me.
good morning everybody!!.
ok ive heard only "activejws in good standing" can attend, what if youre irreguar?
how are they enforcing this?
In our area I guess there are 2...Saturday and Sunday. So are these pre-recorded? Video or Audio?
i am truly surprised to see boeing trying to roll out a plane so full of bugs and flaws.
hope they can get things straightened out.
major us industry giant, lots of jobs..
Not too worried. Planes are complicated...they will get the bugs out. This happens to all new planes to some degree. There are billions of people on the earth and two main commercial aircraft companies. Boeing and Airbus. Fleets need to be upgraded. The world needs aircraft to make it go'round. This will pass & I think airlines will be patient due to the new technologies used that make it much more efficient...in the long run the 787 will save them millions of $$$
i was shocked when i heard a circuit overseer include a strange comment in his concluding prayer at the end of this sundays meeting concerning the adjustments discussed in the watchtower.
he said, in part (and im paraphrasing) thank you jehovah for the governing bodys unapologetic manner in providing these adjustments.
i thought to myself, what a strange expression to make in prayer to god!
Quite interesting.
I would love to be a fly on the wall in his brain. What could be going through his mind. Would you care to give his name? maybe others here know his personality and could shed some light on his prayer. Just a thought.
I totally understand if you'd rather not give that info.
Thanks for posting what you heard!

i know their have been screenings of this movie before , but this notice is for any newbies here that may not have seen it previously.
it is scheduled to screen at 10:25 pm on ch.32 sbs2 sun.25/8/13 .
maybe other states in australia can view it on-line , or request it be shown by sbs in their state.. it is an interesting movie , and apart from minor flaws , pretty accurate despite the beard,though i am told the danes are a bit more liberal than the west.. the real / actual jehovahs witness this story is based on has a cameo appearance near the end of this movie in the train sequence.. please let me know if you watch it and your thoughts about it .. smiddy.
I am looking forward to seeing this movie! It's been out for a long time, but I am waiting to find a good time to watch it with my wife...I want to tweek her so she can see how cultish we are. I think this movie would be good for someone who's not an uber-dub, but a slacker-dub who still believes it's the truth.
I also believe that finland is Nordic, but not Scandinavian! ;-)
did jw's predict the world would end in 1984?.
the september 21, 1984 issue of chrisitanity today on pages 66-67, ran an article entitled: "do jehovah's witnesses still hold to their 1984 doomsday deadline?".
that's as far as my search has gotten me and it isn't on chrisitanity today's web-site.. can anyone find this article for me?.
I remember meeting Glass back in the 90s. He gave the memorial talk at our hall. I was a young teenager in 84...and don't remember too much expectation or talk about 84. Must have been one of those things that circulated more in some areas than in others.
lets educate this reporter.

witnesses explore new way of witnessing.
Sent the dude an email...another stupid article that JWs love. I hate reading these.
Here's what I sent him. His email is at the bottom of the article.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It would be good to do some research before writing a 'flowery' article about JWs...they are a dangerous group that break up families and let children die, refusing blood transfusions.
here's a good place to start.
Thanks

(not my real initials...but I have to stay extremely anonymous because I will be shunned by my family and friends if they found out how I really feel about the organization. They don't like members who do not agree with the "Watchtower Society" (even sounds like a cult) anymore. They LOVE journalists that write favorable, flowery articles about them! You my friend, gave them some good press. I don't understand why most newspapers don't have the guts to dig deep and write a real article)
i'm just wondering whether there is anyone on this forum who may have attended the convention in canberra this weekend.
all of my husbands family went and i'm interested to hear what was talked about - especially in regards to members who have 'fallen away from the truth' or references to worldy people.... i find that how we are treated pretty much depends on what articles have come out in the watchtower (study edition usually) and what talks are being given at the meetings - so knowing what is being said helps me to be prepared.... palso - unrelated but can anyone help me - is the teaching that the anointed will all be gone / dead / in heaven before armageddon comes?
if so, how do they teach that a is 'just around the corner' when the gb are still alive and kicking - as well as other anointed ones... just wowondering.
Heard the Aposta-Talk recently at the one I attended. That crap makes me want to puke now. ugh. Bells, I sent you a PM btw.
Take Care

back in may, i had a friend email me after the release of our jwstruggle video and tell me that the book i wrote and had published was all over the internet and some of you requested that i keep you up to date, so here goes.. i hired an attorney to write the publisher a letter.
they stopped selling hard copies and the digital copies of my book but have still not sent a full accounting of how many of my books they sold and reimbursed me and are now ignoring my phone calls and attorneys letters.
so the lawyer suggested that since it is difficult to sue internationally, i call the local office of the fbi.
Looks interesting. Hope you get your $$!!! If I buy it from Amazon below do you get your percentage mailed to you? Curious how it works...
