Have you ever considered completely abandoning the people in the so-called "Truth"
Yes.And I WILL do it when the times comes.
they seem quite content to do that to you.
why not just let them live their futile, dysfunctional lives and let time be the judge?.

just how does the governing body of jehovah's witnesses receive their "insight" or "understanding" of the bible, in order to publish this "spiritual food at the proper time" in their watchtower and awake magazines and all their books?.
let's find out -- from their own publications -- exactly how this happens:.
"spirits of the dead" brochure (1991), page 18:.
Well they don't.They just change their mind about things that will affect about 7.300.000 lives wordlwide.

comments you will not hear at the 08-08-10 wt study (june 15, 2010, pages 10-14)(building up).
review comments will be in red or headed by comments.
wt material from today's wt will be in black.
Something that was not mentioned:Paragraph 15 says " Yet, when the elders appointed to examine the case determine, in line with Jehovah's direction, that a repentant sinner ought to be readmitted to the congregation, it indicates that he has been forgiven by Jehovah".Now read Watchtower 2/15/1978 pg. 21 par.1.
per a recent letter to elders:.
beginning september 1, there will be a change to the way attendance is recorded at congregation meetings.. currently, attendance is counted at 4 of the 5 meeting (public talk, wt study, congregation "bible" study, and service meeting).. but after sept. 1, meeting attendance will only be taken at 2 of the meetings - during the "first quarter" of the wt study, and also at the cbs.. .
no reason in given for the change in the letter, and i can't figure out why myself.. the numbers are not published anywhere - the only "official" record is a 6 month average the co puts together during his visit.. why request less information from the congregations, especially when it "costs" nothing to accumulate it in the first place?
I didn't understand what is going to change.Can someone explain it in a few words please?

i received a call a few hours ago from an elder.of course he didn't call me to ask how i was or if i needed help.instead he told me that "the youth and some older brothers" of my congregation will gather (at another elder's house,you see 2 elders to "get a hold of the situation") to talk about the "internet,facebook etc dangers".i told him that i will go.hmmm...it's going to be an interesting conversation..
Went there.The usual stuff

Asked some young people in the meeting today.They were informed too and I noticed some irony in their comments as regards this meeting.
