Yes , I see a new Bible as a revenue item. They are selling paper, cardboard and ink, produced with near free labor on presses that have long ago paid for themselves.
Whatever razz matazz revisions they come up with is irrellavant.

No bibles at any kingdomhalls, strong rumors the annual meeting is regarding the bible...
by EndofMysteries infrom relatives and contacts in 2 states, there have been no bibles available for a couple months.
one person mentioned to me as well about supposed quotes in the magazines from other bibles.
rumors are that they will announce a new bible, or possibly tell everyone to buy a bible from another place that they approve of.

Why do you think they changed their mind on organ transplants?
by Separation of Powers infrom 1967 to early 1980, the watchtower stated that organ transplants were tantamount to "cannibalism.
" then, suddenly, the position was changed to organ transplants being a "conscience matter.
" so, my question, why the change?

Poindexter - " Perhaps someone close to the Governing Body suddenly needed an Organ Transplant, resulting in a very convinient change in doctrine (new light)"
I honestly believe this is closer to the truth than you might think.

Isn't the new light exciting???
by wannaexit inwell, for some jw's the gb new light is very very exciting.
in fact its the most exciting thing that has happened in a very long time.
this is what a long time jw told me.

What I always am stunned by is how many witnesses set there and hear all these major flip flops as though it was white noise.

The long road of the VW Bus coming to an end
by designs ini didn't even realize the vw bus was still in production but vw in brazil still produces the iconic bus, production will end in december.. many of us had vw buses, surf wagons et al, i had a 1959 'camper' special we would take on surfing trips to baja california and camp on the beaches down by san quentin.. i took my 'magic bus ride' with four jw buddies just before my arrest over the vietnam draft.
we rode up the california coast to big sur.
with the side door open and feet hanging out we traveled the coastal route from los angeles through santa barbara, pismo beach, san simeon, big sur and monterey ending in san francisco where i hopped a flight back to los angeles for my arraignment.. enjoy-.

If we're talking beetle bugs, I have fond memories of the '69 dark blue bug with ivory vinyl interior I bought brand new. So fun to drive. Not the underpowered lawn mower bus. Maybe same drive train but a different car.

I don't want to go on Sunday because I have been dodging the shepherding visits and phone calls etc since then - could set me back. When I visit family I do go to their meeting with them. But my mum, at least, knows my views as I have had conversations with her. She might have kept quiet about it though.
I understand. Another option for the day as suggested above is a great idea. If she piously insists on attending a drone session, then you can always say "have a nice time, we'll do something fun when you get back."

Do you detect an underlying sadness ?
by Phizzy inwhenever i talk to jw's, and even in some of the jw official videos, i detect a definite vibe of sadness coming off these people.. i am very sensitive to "atmospheres" and to peoples emotional state, you wouldn't think so, because more often than not i do not react to what i detect, i just let people get on with it.. but i do get this feeling that they are sad, probably because very, very, very deep down they realise that it is all false, maybe ?.

Not that I have a lot of insight to the current JW mindset, but what little I have seen I would describe as a clenched jaw of resignation. Too much baggage accumulated to say, "F this BS!"

With it's small low horsepower coupled with a low geared manual transmission, it would have made a very good small tractor for farming. Without the bedroom on wheels/mini-bus appeal.

Are you trying to fade? Have you been communicating with JW family implications that you are still active? (assuming you don't attend the same cong.).
If you are not ready for the big scene right now, you could just Bogart her and go to the stupid meeting. Might be fun if you choose to consider continuing your "double life".

flimsy, underpowered little death traps with quirky motors that ate belts.
Watch for passing trucks, crosswinds, uphill climbs.

HOA suing us any help?
by Crazyguy injust thought i would ask in case any of you have had any experience with a home owners association.
i'm being sued for not paying dues and other fines and went to a mediation hearing a while ago.
we explianed that we we never informed of the hoa when we bought the home and never signed any agreement, infact i was very explicit with everyone involved in the buying proccess to make sure there was no hoa since i did not want to buy if there was one.

HOA was defunct at the time you bought? That is strange.
So you did not receive a copy of the HOA covenants? They just started dinging you for dues?
I would fight this tooth and nail.
By the way. We went through a few years in a HOA. NEVER again. I would rather live in a prison camp.
