hey guys!
i am not a jw, never been one, but linked to a born in jw via family.
last week i received an email from an anonymous person.
Was there a message along with the attachment? Some of us in my congregation also got a message, over a year ago, similar to what you're describing with CofC attached to it.
The elders were all over this and it was the talk of the car-groups for a few weeks last year.
It was almost like if you didn't get one you kinda felt bad and knew you weren't in somebody's contact list who shared a message with a hundred JW buddies email addresses in the To: field and you weren't included.
just heard the stupidest thing ever on this weeks service meeting: it was regarding the volunteers for cleaning the stadium before rc.
they are not allowed to wear shorts or printed t-shirts .but hey its summer!
its gonna be warm!
Well, all I can say is that this Spanish congregation's sisters can be quite distracting in anything they wear.
just wondering?
he denied being in subjection to the the watchtower corporation so are they still using him in their regular monthly broadcast.
as brooklyn is undergoing a major renaissance, i could never understand why wts sold at far less than the optimum real estate peak.. thank you seth meyers for clarity.. http://observer.com/2015/06//.
One more example of myopic mismanagement of the Lord's belongings, it seems to me.

He is actually NOT responsible for wt policies. Hes responsible for the religious policies
Exactly, he is responsible because he votes on official policies (of the religion) which affect the lives of millions of followers.
He may not be the one responsible for day to day corporate dealings. But he is indeed responsible for teachings that are printed in the religion's publications.
If he voted to do away with the shunning practices, with the prohibition on blood transfusions, with the two witness rule on sexual abuse cases, etc. etc. etc. these policies would no longer be part of the religion and would prevent the suffering of thousands.
He is therefore responsible as are the rest of the Gobbering Body members.
we're breaking up the regional convention event by going each of the days to a different weekend session.. the tsongas center lowell ma was a bit hard to find, we got lost and got there after the first song and prayer (just in time for the first talk)!
we ran into so many from our home congregation who aren't even assigned to this rc!.
i think it's quite common for publishers now to break up the convention weekend and attend at times when their congregation isn't assigned.. some families (3) were attending this particular convention so as to meet up with family members who are in another part of the region.
If you still attend, have you noticed more and more people breaking up the Regional Convention event by going each of the days to a different weekend session?
It does help to get through the ordeal. Because for some, attending three straight days is a grueling task.
Those who are near enough to the Convention site seem to prefer spreading out the Convention program over different weekends--especially so if they are elderly or suffer some health problems.
From my own observations, I see this practice becoming more and more common.

He denied being in subjection to the the Watchtower Corporation
The situation is rather that The Watchtower Corporation is in subjection to him as a member of the the Governing Body. That's something he can't so easily deny.
As a member of the GB, the WT's often mentioned "Faithful and Discreet Slave," he votes on official policies and is responsible for teachings that affect the lives of millions of people.
we pulled into a hotel parking lot saturday around 6pm on the return leg of a wonderful family vacation to new england - an then fate stepped in---a man in a suit got out of a car with the rest of a picture perfect family.
i immediately noticed all the name tags--- and my blood pressure spiked 50pts- damn!!
i was booked in a 4 story hotel full of jws-- the only time they took off the name tags was in the swimming pool- they were so proud of themselves.. at 6:30 am the hot water went cold in the wife's shower- what do you expect on the 4th floor when a herd of jws is trying to get ready at the same time?
The correct term in Spanish is "cojones." *
And by your actions, Zimunzucs, they seem marinated in chutzpah!
I hope your effort to approach Witnesses with thought provoking questions will pay-off and result in many of them becoming awake!
*(cajones means big wooden boxes, the reference to testicular enormity and prowess should be "cojones" with "co" not "ca").

i was told that today by a jw...no more to say.
I had a strange feeling about them blood oranges
