I have no idea, I guess he would surprise us. I guess this is equally difficult to imagine than guessing before that he would produce lot's of great quality wine to keep party going and get people drunk. Really he would surprise me for sure.

What would Jesus do?
by Christ Alone inlet's not get into an argument over if jesus was historical or not.. i'd just like to know how you think the jesus of the 4 gospels would act and do things in our modern world.
who would he talk to?
what sorts of miracles would he perform?

Well it must mean that local witnesses may reach out to some sort of community work to get this 275k contribution fixed, but on top of that they are welcomed to feel free participating in paying assembly costs with their contributions.

How Many Hours Did You Spend Going to the Meetings and Ministry?
by God_Delusion ini spent far too many.
in fact, i recently created a spreadsheet and documented how many hours i spent in total per week.
it's so depressing.

clearpoison
Don't really have any crasp on total, but after ending my career as pioneer I did way too little to be considered "witness in good standing".

What was the biggest lie that you have ever told any JWs while you were still a JW?
by Iamallcool ini was deleted as ms some years ago, a brother thought i became an elder.
at the circuit assembly, he asked me if i am elder now, i said yes so the brother told me all of the gritty details about his wife and her sister that got disfellowshipped at the same time.
they went out with the worldly guys and they both got pregnant.

To an elder asking baptism question, have you dedicated yourself to Jehovah. I thought what the f that means and answered yes, I kind of thought that was the answer that was expected to proceed.

When You Were A Witness Did You Ever Celebrate A Birthday or Holidays?
by minimus ini knew some families that celebrated "family day" on christmas eve or some time around the holiday.. i don't know of too many witnesses that actually celebrated but kinda came close....haha.
-

clearpoison
Yes, not with those names however. The things that were too obviously related to holiday like christmas tree was not used but special food, watching traditional TV-shows and all other rituals were there. For birthdays it was OK to receive gifts from unbelieving relatives, but there was no funny hats and cakes.
In short I could state that we semi-celebrated all relevant holidays.

Latest WT: "Refusing to appear before a JC is like refusing medical treatment"
by cedars inin the latest october 15th 2012 watchtower (page 13).... "because of what they perceive as defects in the elders, some individuals who engage in serious wrongdoing in the congregation have refused to appear before a committee of elders assigned to help them.
this could be likened to a patient who loses out on the benefits of a treatment because he does not like something about the doctor.".
sounds like they're now trying to stigmatize those who try to avoid judical action.

Usually if you are not certain or unsatisfied with doctor's recommendations you are tend to ask another opinion. How would this work with JC?
About the videogame guy we know this much that it wasn't Andre as his name was not mentioned.

Skirts and trousers (pants if you're in the US)
by Chariklo injust what is it that the watchtower thinks is so much more modest and respectful to jehovah about wearing a skirt instead of trousers?
that is, unless you live in a culture that has trousers as the norm for women, as in india.. something today brought this to my mind.
i can't even remember what it was, but it led to thinking again about this.

It is more simple than that
If you consider this from the brother's point of view standing on podium holdind speech.
When women finally cross their legs, what is more pleasant to watch, sister in skirt or sister in trousers?
