I think the CBS will continue. It takes so long to get through books now, they can do the Imitate Their Faith book next, after that God's Kingdom Rules, by the time they finish that more new books will be out.

How much longer for the congregation book (sorry bible) study?
by Saltheart Foamfollower inafter the recent decision to ditch the cbs during the circuit visit, i've started wondering if it is the first step to losing it altogether.
at the current rate, the draw close book will be finished at the end of next year.
based on the way things are going, even the most recent publications will be out of date by then (acts book and organization brochure were out of date when studied) so what is the point of doing them.

When I was a witness I would have said "To symbolize my dedication to serve Jehovah like Jesus did".

Who Will Be The Next Governing Body Member To Defect Like Raymond Franz? I Think Samuel Herd Might Be A Prospect.
by frankiespeakin innot really, it could anyone of those guys who shows a sign of humaness/compassion and regret and go on exposing them all to the media worse than ray franz ever could have.
yes i know this may be wishful thinking/computing on my part but i feel it is a harmless indugence or may be it is just my deep unconscious foretelling a likely scenerio.. and it is good to create a distrust among these guys each one trying to beat the other to jump ship because thier unconscious is giving them fits to get the hell out when the getting is good.
maybe even report their fellow gbs to the authorities to be granted clemency or something.

i used to like wearing the name badges- I saved mine with the programs as souveniers of the conventions I went to. First one was 1977 Joyful Workers."
Last Convention I went to was in 2000. The heat kept me away.

I have no way to know for sure but my guess is, if you include everything, probably 3 billion dollars. The wts are extremley secretive when it comes to finances, they probably have more than what we even imagine.

What if you were a JW during WWII? Would you give in to Hitler and fight?
by Brother Mike inso i pose this question to everyone.
if you were a jw and lived in germany in wwii, how would you deal with the harsh cruelity of hitler?
would you join his side so you may have a chance to live (meaning you'd serve in the miliatry and be on the front line) or would you keep on serving god and be executed?

Being I am Jewish I would not have been given a choice. I would have fought against the nazis and tried to escape and tried to help others escape.

Were you surprised when you went in service for the first time....
by Muddy Waters inwere you surprised when you went in service for the first time (this question is prob for those who were not born-in) --.
when i first had the "privilege" of going in field service as an unbaptized publisher, i remember feeling so surprised at everybody's apparent slowness.
all the talks at the kh emphasized how we were in the last days, doing a life saving, critical, never to be repeated, work, etc., yet you get in the car group and ignore people walking right by or coming toward the car, and then slowly walk from house to house.

I remember the first door I spoke at- I was so nervous I did not even say hello! Of course the man was not interested but the sister who worked with me told me I did a good job. Not far away my brother also had his first time talking at the door!
I was not disappointed but when I first heard them talking about field service at the meetings for some reason having picnics in the park came to mind!
I remember sisters doing the pioneer shuffle, you have to enjoy the time, see the flowers, the sky, etc. Of course the pios had to get their time in.
I loved during rural territory, the long ride to the territory, only having to get out once or twice as we took turns & waited in the car. I liked that!
Of course stopping for coffee and toasted bran muffins was a highlight! Eventually it morphed into going out for lunch after fs, which made getting up early and going door to door worth it!
Sometimes I did feel relieved when no one answered the doors.
designs- that was some experience you had!
