38No more big District Conventions?
by serenitynow! inso i went to the hall today for a funeral and took a look at the bulletin board.
i was surprised to see a letter stating the dc for michigan would be held at the local assembly hall instead of the big convention center in ohio where it had been held the past few years.
have you all heard about this?.

Meaningless. Time intervals have neither dates nor specificed lengths.
There will be a length of time between now and the date at which some future event occurs.
Look I'm a prophet!

Has The Governing Body Ever Explained Why They View The Faithful Slave Parable As A Prophecy? What Justification Do They Give?
by frankiespeakin ini don't know of any do you.
i would think it a major leap in logic to not concider this first before expounding on it prophetically, why go thru the bother if we are missing this important link..

If they can't explain it any other way, a Bible verse is about them. In practicality this means they think about 95% if the Bible is about them.

I just noticed a major omission in the list of DF'ing offenses
by JeffT ini noticed this on slimboy's list of things that can get you df'd, and i checked it against the "flock" book.. .
there is no mention of blood transfusions!
i know they are downplaying this, but have they stopped df'ing people for it altogether?

Black Sheep thanks for the heads up. I didn't think to look there, I can only read so much of that crap before I start to worry about my head exploding.

There is no mention of blood transfusions! I know they are downplaying this, but have they stopped DF'ing people for it altogether? Or are they doing so and not talking about it? What happens if somebody points out that the elders manual doesn't say it's a DF offense?
Very strange.

I see Beks is up to her usual high quality commnuication.
I hate both parties and all labels. For awhile I was a Democrat, then I became a Republican. Now I'm not anything. In the last couple of years I've changed my views on same sex marriage, progressive taxes, legalized drugs, and most international affairs. I'm still opposed to abortion at a personal level (but don't think the government should regulate it), I'm opposed to most gun control measures, I think endless public debt is an immoral burden on our children, I prefer self-reliance to government support, and I think our public schools are an abject failure.
Last time I brought this up Beks told me I'm still a right winger, so I guess I'll wear that label with pride and no sense that it actually means anything.

The truth of the matter is that you can be DF'd for anything a couple of elders want to DF you for.

"You don't get a second chance to make a first impression" AAWA
by yesidid inthe first impression one has of any group or organization is its name.
that is my problem with "the name'.
active, or even questioning witnesses will undoubtedly be alarmed by the connotation of name.

That horse has left the barn, unless maybe all the people gripping about the name want to spring for whatever it would cost them to change the name of the corporation they formed. Had anybody asked I might have suggested a different name myself. But they didn't ask and I volunteered to help them because I agree with what they're doing.

Geez people give it a rest. Nobody's making you join something, nobody's making you give money, nobody's asking you to believe anything. If you don't like, go find something useful to do with you life.
