8 serving elders with some interesting views... shame they don't all serve on the same body!!
by cedars ini thought i'd take a look at how the 2012 jw survey is progressing, and i was particularly interested to note the broad spectrum of responses from the 8 serving elders who have so far voted.
i thought i would share these with you.... .
question: in what capacity do you currently serve as an elder?.

Also, the fact that they participated already indicates a bias toward disagreeing with the WTBTS heirarchy and doctrines.
That is something to remember before getting too excited over the results.
But, it's great that the internet allows for anonymous dissent against the WTS and these elders are making the most of this.

Do you have Feng Shui in your home?

I've read up on Feng shui in the past... i think it can be done naturally in regards to natural energy flows etc. You don't necessarily need a book to tell you if the room has good energy or not.

NEW LAW Starting July 2012 in Qld Australia Preventing Door to Door Sales
by Hopscotch ini just read this in our local newspaper this morning and thought it is very interesting.
this law is aimed at door to door marketing by companies but i am wondering if this may end up including religious 'sales persons'.
the comments below the story are worth reading as jw's and religious callers are definitely who many people want stopped under this new law.. .

BP I assume you have never made a mistake, are you always so rude, or is it just on this forum?
All the above.
It annoys me greatly when Americans assume the rest of the world is just like them. A little education never hurt.

Time for an Intervention
by NCO income this july, i will have been out of the jw's for 20 years.
and it has been quite a long time since i've really spent any serious time studying up on jw news and doctrines although i do still read here occasionally.
but after today looks like i've got some work to do.. my first sergeant called me this morning asking for my help to fix his dad's truck as i'm an auto technician in my civilian job.

Do they have set prices for the literature in Australia or do they go with the "donation arrangement"?
Up until July 2000 there were set prices. In July 2000 a Goods and Sales Tax (GST) was introduced by the Aust govt for everything sold in Australia, so when that happened, the magazines started to be offered on a "donation" arrangement.
I do not know much about Australian law, but they have a Bill of Rights based on the American bill.
This reminds me of a saying: It's better to be thought an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove it beyond doubt.

7. Don't get caught up interpreting scriptures. Just be nice to one another.
8. If you can't be nice, just stay away from them or ignore them. That's what my Mum used to say.
9. Some days are diamonds, some days are stones. Oh wait, that's a song lyric...
