  i can`t believe the tidbits i`m finding out about the changes ,dumbing down of the meetings i used to attend and participate in up until the late 1980`s ...

  that same brother (that's if he's still alive) has trashed his brief case along with that boatload of literature

  His brain has also gone the same way. No thinking is required at the meeting anymore, in fact it's positively discouraged.

  you can’t throw a snowball at a person as kids often do.

  you can’t throw it in a park, at a building, anywhere.

  comments please.

  Snowball fights are nearly as dangerous as playing conkers and lots of schools here in the UK ban those.

  holy shit!

  i went to the meeting on thursday night to hear my grandson and my daughter give their "talk" on the misery school!.

  the very first part on the next meeting that follows the misery school was a 15-20 minute part, with a video of course, on the many ways to donate money to the wt!

  This item has been done every November for years. This last two years it's a video item. Previously it was based on a WT article.

  They've long forgotten Russell's statement that when they have to ask for donations it's time to stop or whatever...

  here is a screenshot from a youtube video (521 and the circus continues) where anthony morris blasts post-secondary college & university education.

  ''we will not need doctors or lawyers after armageddon.

  so, anthony...what occupations do the society need '' today'' and after armageddon?

  I wonder what ToMo III does when he gets tooth ache. A visit to the Bethel Chippie department maybe? They're bound to have a decent pair of pliers there! No need for a qualified dentist, we will have no need of them after Armageddon either.

  Likewise with opticians and doctors. When they need them they will be there, no three week waiting for an appointment either. They simply could not exist without University graduates.

  The hypocrisy of these people is beyond belief.

  How Much of the WT Teaching Did You Believe?

  some people on this forum have said that they never really believed any aspect of wt teaching, that they couldn't wait to get free of it all.. others seems to have been really gung ho, believing it all until something happened that got you questioning "the truth.".

  i would say my own high water mark was about 50%, which put me squarely on the fence, trying to decide if i should be in or out.. how about you?.

  Yet another very senior moment.

  All of it. Brainwashed from birth of course. Appointed as a Servant at 18, vacation pioneered all the usual. Then I got married and my wife encouraged me to go to University as we didn't have a lot of money. So I did and then concentrated on building a good career. So I never really thought about the doctrines, just bumbled along.

  Fast forward to December 1986 (or 87, can't remember) when the group study stopped. I spent the time doing research and soon found this site. I soon realised two things, (1) I knew nothing about the Bible and (2) I knew nothing about JW's.

  I am still a PIMO due to family especially Sis England and the fact I employ some really good JW's to do work for me.

  If only the internet had been around in 1960.

  Modern Memorial talks are so different to the old ones. No mention of Passover, leaving Egypt or Nisan 14.

  I'm sure many of the older ones here will remember singing "...'Twas Nisan 14 when your glory was seen....etc etc"

  Probably something to do with the GB realising they celebrate on the wrong date anyway.

  As he is homosexual he didn't have much of a future as a JW anyway.

  can someone please help me with this, if you’ve looked into it before?.

  i read somewhere that the witnesses didn’t celebrate the memorial on nisan 14 according to the jewish calendar.

  i did a quick google check - seems next years memorial is on tuesday (nisan 13) rather than the wednesday, nisan 14 according to the jewish calendar.

  Shouldn t we all use the sighting at at Jerusalem? They didnt have time zones

  They do use Jerusalem these days, years ago it was when the first sliver of the new moon could be seen over New York!
