What about the recent CA theme "The time left is reduced", golly gosh, so it is. Every time I look at my watch --- more time has gone past. It must be the end!!!

Hi thenoblelodge,
I heard a whisper about the apostacy in UK bethel last year but couldn't find the details. It seems to have been deep sixed. If you could tell us any further it would be welcome. I know that may be difficult for you but any thing you wish to share or feel you can share would be welcome. London bethel is so full of self righteous career men.

What does a 10-year-old "minister" say about a religion?
by OnTheWayOut instealing a line from bill mahr, if a jw boy can become a baptized servant of god and qualify to be a "minister" .... ... "what do you think it says about religion and how serious it is if you can be a minister when you're 10?
".

I was baptised at the age of 9 (I think) the date was never recorded. I think this must point to me as being almost super-human in my spiritual intelligence.
I am almost sure that I am now the oracle, please come to me first to have your deep questions answered.

Does it sound like a "cop out" when...
by Coffee House Girl inone of my really good jw friends (which now means he can no longer be my friend) came into the shop i work in today with two other jw's to buy some guitar strings and things- i could tell he was uncomfortable walking in the shop (he hesitated at the door) and i was on the phone so i couldn't wait on them personally so all i could think of to do is make a smart ass comment about his hair cut.. they made their purchase & walked out we smiled and waved to each other.. he obviously did not buy anything and they all know where i work, so he just came in to check me out (not in a flirty way).. he has always been a bit on the "edge" when it comes to jw practices (watches r rated movies, listens to "bad" music, drinks, and he does text me occasionally to talk about music and un-jw related subjects).
should i have tried to reach him with the truth about the truth?.
i ponder this question lately with some of my loved ones so i will ask you all........ if i could be reached by talking rationally with me to look further into the religion i was blindly following- should i try reaching someone i care about?.

This may be a hangover from the guilt trip experienced when you let an opportunity for "informal" witnessing go. Talk to anyone anytime but don't feel a moral responsibiliy for their actions and thought processes. The best thing to take away from the JW experience is that love is the only worthwhile motive. How often did you hear that expounded, how little was it practised.

I wish I was as sure about anything as the GB is about everything.

The government of Iran is publishing a selection of approved male haircuts today. They have stepped back from the beard requirement (all males no longer have to have one). Islamic haircuts and facial hair requirements are closely monitored. Infringement can result in heavy punishment. They should issue a joint statement with the GB. Sorry I don't know how to post links.

This actually comes down to the default position in all these matters. There are often complex and eye-boggling reasons, scriptural reasonings that make your brains start to come out of your ears. The answer is ... so nothing visible happens now, just wait. So the default position is .... if nothing happens, we are on track. Nothing happens, nothing happens.
