I always enjoyed David's talks. I wished he was assigned to speak to the Canadian branch. David worked hard in the faith, and lived it. He was really gifted with a photographic memory, and if he had gone into this world to make a make his mark on society, he would of made lots of money. The English branch were priviledged to have him and his wife, Linda.

British zone visit from David Splane - a report from the special meeting in Glasgow
by slimboyfat inwell i went to a "special meeting" in the armadillo today where a 2 & 1/2 hour programme was relayed from london at 1pm.
apparently the letters of invitation only went out a month or so ago and not all congregations were invited.
there were 2,900 of us from around scotland.

BOTH: I discussed your video with my wife, and we both agree that although it was a daring move, you still should be able to enjoy freedom to JW meetings. However, you will be treated with kit gloves from those that have a leadership role in the cong. If you are having telephone hook-up problems, you probably won't be given the real answer, but, you will probably be invited to attend in person. This is the You Tube generation, and just recently on 60 Minutes they showed how the Commercial world is invading our privacy. So everyone is an Open Book.
I am so glad that we are not on Facebook.

BOTH: You are right. I didn't think about the Nanny law. You are certainly right about the society breaking the law, especially when the Elders stalk individuals. I guess this was a good comeback on them.
Has any elder complained to you from the congregation for putting it on You Tube?

Hello BOTH,
First of all let me say that I saw that video and although it was wrong for those Elders to not let you apply Mtt 5, and 18, I also wondered about the legallity of video taping of that conversation, and then putting it on YouTube. In our country, legally, you cannot tape someone without their knowledge, and acceptance. But, we know that we are always being taped in public places today. Such establishments do so on the premise that it's for security. Still, you have to wonder about those elders and their privacy. In the video, you and your wife, had concealed your faces, but their they were in full view. We only heard your voices, but those guys, wow what an exposure.
I did enjoy your responses and how eloquent your responses were, however, there maybe something much more bigger that could happen than the application of Mtt 5, and 18, and the purchase of a tractor. I don't know the law in the US, but, let's hope that everyone who were involved with this matter can sleep nights.

Mormons getting hollowed out: The tipping point has occurred.
by Qcmbr inever since mitt romney turned the spotlight on the lds church a growing tsunami of disaffection has been accelerated and brought to a head.. the lds core faithful members are leaving in increasing numbers such that growth has not simply stagnated in the west but it has actively reversed.
to their credit the church is responding aggressively but not only is it too late, it is an impossible task.
you can only paint sh*t so many ways.

My neighbours next door to me were Mormons. I really didn't know this, and they never revealed this to me, It was later when two Mormon Elders came to my house, and told us about them. They also mentioned that they were inactive. Since then I always wondered what Mormons have to do to become inactive. They only do missionary service for two years. Does their inactivity have something to do about their tithing?
