  Looked this up as a serch as it's an issue locally. I did some research and I don't think that much has changed in the procedure.

  1. Talk to the person, if he doesn't desist then

  2. A talk to the cong is given, those aware of the situation are alerted and may choose to mark (withdraw from) the person.

  As far as I am aware no names are mentioned and marking is individual not congregational. The original thought of course was concerning those who were disorderly, breaking up the peace, meddling in the business of others. Marking today doesn't always follow this.

  2. bible

  wt december 15, 2010. snippets from this watchtower are below.

  keeping in mind that all articles are written with an agenda, to address problems in the organization or to pave the way for new guidelines, look at what i highlighted.

  my conclusions are:.

  The sad thing is that the UK Gov is bringing in spending cuts all over the place to reduce the nation deficit but spending £20,000,000 bringing the Pope over!

  Why do JW's downplay older WT articles?

  by mamalove in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was looking at brotherdan's thread about the two articles that really point out in the wtbs's own words that we must follow this organization, blah blah, and they are indeed a cult from reading those articles.

  it made me think that i would love to show my mom and sister that, but i know the response would be "so what, that is a 40 year old magazine," it was dated 1969, and 1983 was the other article i believe.. are the jw's i know the only ones who poo poo older articles and say that thinking isn't up to date anymore, that new thinking has superceded those new articles?

  even though we know that the overall thinking is the same.

  It's back to the "light getting brighter" thought. Any JW will refute an older article if the newer contains updated info. Doesn't matter how old or recent it is.

  2. friends

  a letter was read at our place this week, the wts has asked us to pass a resolution asking that we leave our funds with the society at 0% interest as opposed to the 1% below bank rate(which at the moment means nothing).. of course, it was passed..

  Yes it is!

  Europe is not a good place for football violence, here in UK it is back on the rise. Things did cool down quire a bit during the late 90's. Part of the cause has been put down to movies portraying football firm violence and the glorification of it e.g greenstreet, football factory.

  Of course religion and politics play a huge role (Eg. both in Ireland & scotland).

  I attend many football matches, usually without issue. Most fighting is organized away from the game.

  Note the number of firms in England:

  BOE are responsible for the funds of the cong, which boils down to the brothers money - fair play to your elders!
