We had one on large gatherings every other week. Apparently the reasoning was "Bro. so and so was going and hes and elder". Apparently there were Jehovah Witnesses weekend at some hotels that the witnesses started losing control and engaging in loose conduct. Thats the most reoccuring one.
A funny local needs was Gossip. Everyone knew they where talking about Sister Dick.(that is her name). She wasn't in out cong. she was in the other one. One little girl raised her hand and ask why Sis. Dick got a talk just for her.

Yes, they should. Its dangerous in certain situations not being able to communicate in the language of the majority.
That doesnt mean that others can't learn another language.

I am so proud of myself. I did not take a vacation day to attend the garbage fest. I am happily (as happy as you can be at work) here discussing to my co-workers why I no longer believe in God. I come from a very open family and know I wont be shunned.
Didnt expect to feel sooo liberated!
looking back I realize I was a weekend witness
1. worldly boyfriend
2. Self-love (TMI, I know but they always talked about it)
3. Lied about why I missed meetings.
So, good riddance I am finally done!

Watchtower says TEST US against the BIBLE!
by UnDisfellowshipped inthe watchtower society says "test us against the bible!".
test the inspired expressions.
) we must not believe every spirit, or inspired expression, but we should test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with god.

Actually, I don't know if this can be classified as new light but they now say that testing like the Boreans means testing against other WT publications.
I believe its in the Bible Teach book. They compare it to a teller at a bank and counterfeit money.
An excerpt:
How can you know the right way to worship Jehovah? You do not have to study and compare the teachings of all the many religions. You need only learn what the Bible really teaches about true worship. To illustrate: In many lands, there is a problem with counterfeit money. If you were given the job of picking out such false money, how would you go about it? By memorizing every kind of counterfeit? No. Your time would be better spent if you studied real money. After you knew what real money looked like, you could recognize a counterfeit. Similarly, when we learn how to identify the true religion, we can recognize those religions that are false
But they also say that God’s servants base their teachings on the Bible.
There are other references but I remember this one clearly.

Has anyone counted Parttakers as published in the yearbook?
by STILLINWANTOUT ini was just wondering if anyone has ever counted the yearly parttakers.
2005-8524.. based on these numbers 36373 has been anointed in four years alone.
am i mistaken to understand that the 144000 is to go to heaven and are apart of the anointed class and therefore these part takers are also going to heaven.
