If you are a single sister, you can tell any male member that you despise to fook-off.

Any Elders comments on latest idea about Sisters
by truthlover injust finished our 2 day and one of the talks by the do indicated that single sisters in the congregation are to be subservient to all male brothers in the hall..as well a widow too is of the same "status".
is this a new thought or just now an open secret?.
personally, i dont think that is good - after all there are many elders who although, supposedly appointed by hs, can be personally involved with porn behind closed doors or nasty with his wife and family.. i personally know of two like that .... why should i listen to a "stranger" about my life?

Shunning supported by 2 Jo 9-10
by Splash in(2 john 9,10) 9 everyone that pushes ahead and does not remain in the teaching of the christ does not have god.
he that does remain in this teaching is the one that has both the father and the son.
10 if anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, never receive him into your homes or say a greeting to him.. .

The application of 2 Jo 9-10 is not applied consistently with the WT ORG.
You have relatives that were raised as JW's but because they were not baptized, they can be accepted into your homes, you can have a restaurant meal with them, you include them in your associations.
Then you have relatives that did get baptized, but because they disagreed in the rigid routine, they withdrew, and wrote a letter of Dissassociation out of obtaining some peace of mind. These ones are the ones that the Society claims this applies to.
The scripture does give a message of shunning, but, common sense would demonstrate that the Society doesn't get it.

GOOD NEWS. UK Charity Commisssion; "No presumption that religion is for the public benefit"
by nicolaou ini tweeted this link a couple of days ago but forgot to post it here .
the uk charity commission has refused to renew the charitable status of the plymouth brethren, a cultlike sect similar to the watchtower in so many ways.
as a result, some members of parliament are claiming that the commissions action is a "suppression of religion".

Letter about using iPads at meetings
by under the radar infirst of all, i really appreciate it when official, especially "secret," boe letters and the like are posted here.
it's great to have that stuff on hand, straight from the horse's... uhh...mouth, when certain "friends" deny the slave would ever do or say such and such.... anyway, there have been some references to a letter they sent out about using ipads and the like during congregation meetings.
could anyone provide a scan or link to this letter?

Yes, and I remember talking to some brothers in Bethel during the 80's and they said that only apostates use the internet. We really have some people that aren't open minded to the latest, state of art gadgets that we bragged about when we developed that "Photo drama of creation" back in the day.

The Society has a website that allows you to download it's publications. It seems to be open to the use of the IPAD, but the standard for the platform is still behind the times. It seems that Elders will have to use the Large size Bibles for the platform.
It sure would lessen our load if we could just bring a regular size Bible, and Ipad to replace all of the publications we need to bring to the meetings.

Family Worship Night... ugh. How about this..?
by Muddy Waters ini now can't imagine anything more boring and stilted and stupifying than the way the wts instructs people to train and teach their children.. .
we're to sit at a table with one of their horrid, boring, dry, frightening publications.
read a paragraph, look up a scripture or scripture snippet, then ask the question.. .

Sorry, I'm a die hard meat lover.
When I order pizza, I ask for the Meat Lovers one, and ask for extra meat.
When I walk into a forest....the animals run to the city.

by Quarterback inthe wt for today, can't remember exactly what paragraph, stated the dangers of the tongue.
it went further to mention that we wouldn't want to question the motives of a sister who was appointed in the congregation as a pioneer.
