Dear Dad,
Great to hear from you! How am I doing? Just great! let me tell you about all the good things going on in my life.
(List them ... all of them)
I've attached some photos of the grandchildren and they all send their love too. We'd love to come and see you some time or have you and Mom over to visit with us. How about we arrange that real soon?
Now thank you for your concern about the end being very soon; I've been thinking real deep about that and I just wanted to say two things.
1. Nothing of the last days approaches the misery of WW2; Vietnam of the 60's and 70's doesn't come close. The Twin Towers' destruction, while deeply shocking resulted in the deaths of a few thousand. In 1945 in Dresden 25,000 died in one bombing raid. In Hiroshima 150,000, in Nagasaki 75,000. Even London lost 40,000 to the Blitz of 1940/41.
In total over 60,000,000 died in WW2; there is nothing before or since that hits that grand scale of human misery. WW2 ended almost 70 years ago. The last days are far far better now than they were in 1940/45.
2. Luke 21 vs 8.
I feel this verse of the Bible has been ridden roughshod over by those who claim the end is soon. I think of how the end was coming in 1914, then 1925, then WW2, then 1975, then the generation of 70 or 80 years starting in 1914 ending in 1984 - 1994. Even now there are books on Watchtower library which say that the end will come in "our twentieth century" (Know Jehovah ... Ch12 p216 para9).
I am sorry you have devoted your whole life to believing the end is "very soon" or "just around the corner", I truly am. I implore you to enjoy your remaining good years and to see good for all your hard work.
Let's meet up real soon.
Please give Mom a hug, your ever loving etc etc

the change is almost 1 month away and we still don't know how this is going to work exactly?

Yeah, it'll probably feel the same, just that the CO will have the final word in the vast majority of cases.

Beards......the CO allowed this one!
by punkofnice ina minny man in a local congregation has a beard...he was bullied by the elders to remove it.. then the co came along and told the elders to allow him to keep his beard.
(not as the result of any skin condition or anything).. i kid you not!!!.
what do you make of that?.

In our circuit (England) there is a CBE with a beard. Quite a few elders too. They don't get allowed on the assembly program though but most congregations allow a beard for a visiting speaker.

Entertainment for International Delegates
by Listener inbibl3thumper has posted a youtube of the celebrations that took place for german delegates.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvs6_q7rqps&feature=em-subs_digest.
it's hard to believe that they are now using the kingdom hall to sing pop songs and for dancing.

Amazing how they can sing out of "both corners" of their mouths. "Worldly songs" and "Kingdom songs" together. 2 Cor 6 v 15 - Christ and Belial.
So the "High Standing" International Delegates, "Helpers", High Level HQ and Branch Big-Wigs all get to use "dedicated funds" for a party in the kingdom hall.
If I asked the elders in our hall to have congregation party in our kingdom hall for the congregation what do you think their reply would be?

Convicted Pedo and Rapist Ex-elder Mark Sewell on BBC Wales News
by freddo ini don't know how to put this up on the forum but if anyone goes to the bbc news website and clicks on wales/south east there is an interview with one of the victims of sewell who gave up her anonymity and who is decrying the cover up by elders she endured in cardiff wales.. this brave woman is interviewed for over two minutes - you can see all the watchtower bound volumes in her room.
it is dated july 3rd 2014.. i don't live in her area but typically this would have been on the local bbc news for south wales area including the capital, cardiff and so i reckon over half a million people might have seen the item broadcast.. if you can put it up on here please do.. .

What happens after you get the registered letter?
by paul from cleveland inmy friend's daughter, who was baptized at 14, has decided to leave the witnesses.
she's in her early 20's.
she's stopped going to meeting a while ago and moved in with her father who is disfellowshipped.

If she was baptised as a minor she can claim her baptizm was invalid - if she has not been a regular pioneer since her baptism. She will need to be hardnosed about it, do it in writing and involve watchtower legal to do it.

Do you even listen to yourself?
by doneandout inthe other night, the elder was getting us ready for our convention.
as i sat there, i was thinking, 'do you even listen to yourself?
' everything thing he said, said its going to suck.. bring a hat: its going to be sunny, prepared to get sunburned.. bring plenty of water: its going to be hot and sweaty.. parking is going to be bad: prepare to walk a mile to the site.. bring a fm radio: its going to be echoy inside.. .

Watchtower and Awake finally becoming one magazine?
New masthead -
The Watchtower: Announcing Jehovah's Kingdom - incorporating Awake, incorporating Golden Age incorporating articles about the amazing dung beetle and its relevance to the march of the world powers and the overlapping generation, did we say the generation that saw 1914 will not pass away? nope, not us! and by the way Watchtower library back to 1950 will be discontinued as it shows up all the false prophecies from freddy franz. Use the on line library - clean and post 2000 and far less embarrassing.
