the mormon leaders in virginia are deciding whether to excommunicate kate kelly for pushing for equal rights for mormon women in the church.
she wants to remain a mormon whatever the outcome of the hearing.. 800-1000 mormons held a vigil in support of kate.. the group ordain women, mormons who want change in their church structure, are active in 17 countries pushing the male dominated leaders to make this important change.. kate kelly is herself an international human rights lawyer.. church leaders site jesus only choosing men in leadership positions as their foundational support.. those interviewed at the vigil said they want an atmosphere where they can at least have conversations openly about changes they would like to see made in the church..
Hmmm, interesting. Evidently homosexuality has made a breakthrough in the LDS. Marie Osmond has praised her daughter for being gay, openly on TV and she is still respected as a mormon.
So, allowing women to hold some leadership is not?
When did the LDS cave in on the Gay issue?
article is basicqlly about families where a spouse is working away from home for an extended period, etc...a foot note says basically that some studies have shown that working away from home can cause serious consequences, such as infidelity, homosexuality, or incest.
.
pull it up on jw.org...that is what it says.
If the person is gay before they travel, could they be reversed and become straight, while they are living abroad? We may have found some solution here

I blame the leading cause of this is from Airport security. Those guys like to fondle foreigners, and if they are travelling alot on their own, well, watchout. I was violated the last time I took a trip from some Asian security guard, who didn't even offer me dinner.
discreetly!.
that was the word the speaker used to tell jws at the regional convention that when the need to visit or associate with d'fd family members....okay to do so......only discreetly!.
on friday morning in the 6 part symposium entitled 'what must be kept in second place?
Oh...my mistake. The "Discreetly", word was used in connection to the Non-Witness relatives. (I reread your comment to get that straight). Oh well, that's good clarification, and always good to get a 2nd set of ears to hearing what was said. Thanks....Good thread.

Bobcat, that was very good listening skill. So, JWGonebad is right. The word discreetly was used at your location. I missed it, apparently. It would be interesting to see how the GB interprets this.
today my husband and i sold plastic ducks for the annual duck racing fund raising event opposite a jw cart.
in the 2hour period we sold over a 100 ducks putting our jw training to good use proactively approaching people, overcoming objections and generally wishing people success.
cantleave went round the local businesses selling to the shops and generally was received positively.
Well, it is a bit of a change from knocking on doors. As far as literature being accepted over ducks, you have them beat. Ducks rock.
i have noticed something.. you know how we hear (and have seen for ourselves to be honest), that whenever a venue or stadium is rented for a jw event it is always cleaned better than before, and left in better condition than it was found?.
our local council has stumbled on this too!
the area they let the literature cart be set up, gets really trashed, and messy with garbage and leaves etc.
That's an interesting observation. Stuck..
i wefer to my pwevious fred http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/280829/2/i-saw-a-trolley-cart-to-you-cousins-in-the-u-s-a.
if the wbt$ is losing money and drones then why so much apathy surrounding the trolley/cart?.
why are they not being more pro-active with this 'urgent, never to be repeated work(tm)?'.
They are in Ontario, Canada
is it true there is a 10 year rule?
i was reading on here when i saw someone quote it?
i've never heard of it before!.
One should not be reading to much into this ten year rule. The resources have stated 10 years after reinstatement, the person can qualify for......
This doesn't imply that a DF person could walk into KH and expect to erase everything as if it didn't happen. There is still the reinstatement that must take place according to the material discussed.

So that's it? Something written in the Lamp book, back in the 60's? We were also told that we shouldn't dance the twist back then, but, now we twist and shout every wedding we are invited to. If anyone mentions the Lamp Book today in an Elders meeting, he'd be laughed outside the room.
