Progress? only progress I've seen in the dumming downof the congregations, just obey the FDS and you will be okay, but do more do more do more. hasn't changed in 20+ years. What a bunch of cow manure.

Seeing old watchtower aquantances
by jacethespace ini havent posted here for quite a while,since jwd changed websites in fact, but had to relate this.. a few days ago i bumped into some of my local congregation members i havent saw for quite a while.and said hello to the guy i knew and chatted with him while his wife was in the local store.first thing i noticed was the attitude that i had gotten away from and in fact was one of the reasons why i decided to leave.he told me that the org was moving forward and guiding them better than ever and said that it would be better if i didnt come back because i wouldnt beable to keep up with the progress of the org.although he said he didnt want me to go down with the world.his arrogance was just wrong.i told him the bible says that every man will be found a liar and he said it depends how you interpret it.his wife came out the shop and was much more pleasant and then another member i hadnt saw for a while came over to them [ i think they had been out on a boasting session] and i said hello.however she said hi but practically ignored me.the whole experience was just so sureall that i couldnt help but think that it encourages people not to listen to them and left quite angry.baring in mind i live next door to an elder and see him often.some seem to look down on you when you stop going and others just dont bother talking to you as i they are above everyone else.. jacethespace.

I see in appropriate behavior even at the KH's. I for one don't answer if not addressed by name, my name is neither sister or brother, its either Sir, Mr. Mrs. if any child doesn't use that I don't acknowledge their existence and won't speak with them. I have a name and or a title and I won't answer to anything less polite.

Family Vacation in Colorado. Suggestions?
by M.J. ini would really love to take my family (including a couple of small kids...and maybe the dog) on a road trip to the colorado rockies in late summer.
i'd like to spend at least a week out there.
any ideas on places with some good scenery, activities, places to stay (a cabin would be cool).. i haven't been out there before, and i don't know if i want to just stay in one area or make some sort of "grand circuit".

empty bethel and put the guantanamo prisoners in there, or better yet put them all together with the GB and dept. heads., they deserve it.

The FDS never put any words in Gods mouth - oh NOOOOOOOOOOH?
by hamsterbait infrom the watchtower 1943:.
"these expressions of god's will by his king and through his established agency constitute his law or rule of action for the "faithful and wise servant" and for their goodwill companions today who will dwell upon the earth for ever in the new world.
the lord breaks down our organization instructions further and makes them more practicable by further instructing us through his "faithful and wise servant".. .

praying for EXTRA holy spirit
by asilentone ini do remember the brothers giving the prayer at the kingdom hall in the 70s and 80's asking for extra holy spirit, later on, i do remember that the brothers cannot ask jehovah for extra holy spirit.
how come the change?
i would like to see some explanation about it.

Praying for holy spirit was such n onsense, you either had it or you didn't. You didn't get to pray for a bigger or even a smaller piece. It is about as stupid as saying jehovah god. or james dad or some such, steve dad bill dad etal. just stupid

finally-free, you have the right idea, and let the first bunch of dropees be the GB, followed by DOs COs, elders/elderettes, MS and finally the hard core dubbies, I am all for it, right on.
