Kissing....Lips or Cheeks?
by teenyuck inat my dad's funeral i realized something...all the jw relatives on my mother's side of the family "lip" kiss.
this means that when you are greeting that person, male or female, young or old, you grasp them, pull them forward, hug and kiss...on the lips!!!
uuuggghhh!!!

I am shocked not to say disgusted, being British I find there is never any need for more than a firm ( yet brief) hand shake at full arm's length. All that hugging and kissing at the hall made me sick, especially when you knew what they were saying about each other ( and me no doubt) the rest of the time.

Has Anyone Invited You to the Memorial?
by Prisca inthe memorial is on in just over two weeks' time, and i was wondering:.

No no-one has invited me yet, Iam not DF'd or DA'd yet. Funny thing though, I get Watchtowers and Awakes brought to me, but the ones that are missing must be the ones that mention the Memorial, because I've not found any reference to it.I would not go anyway because I cannot and never have seen the point in just going once a year, like people who only go to church at Christmas. Also I am currently trying to understand the whole thing of communion.Should it be for everyone , I don't know.

Do you think I'll be DF'd now?
by meat pie inabout three weeks ago i told a friend about the un thing, no-one else, i had known for months but didn't tell her till she brought up a similar subject.
i gave her a printout from a guardian article, i have only had a short terse text message since.
i know she has a lot more to lose than i did, and i stopped going to meetings last year.

Thanks very much for all these replies. I think the most likely outcome might be what nowfree suggests, as I said I have some info they wouldn't like out. But it is true it all depends on local elders and new co for instance. And BTW we already have 2 of these military police/ jesuit type elders. My original fall out was over the 'we can be trusted but everyone in-the-world cannot' attitude, I argued with the 2 special elders at my home over this until one didn,t speak and the other almost agreed!So as you say Christfollower, if they asked me the BIG question I could not lie, I will not lie to please these men.( there is alot more than this issue of course) Thanx Meat pieXXX

if there are specific issues you need however, just let me know.. posting them here so everyone can grab 'em as opposed to emailing out dozens of copies.. nic'.

Please look at page 7 January KM.'Relocation' Could this be because they are running out of cash? Also I notice Jehovah is now 'the Almighty' no-name.

What do you think will happen when all the FDS die
by termite 35 ini'm not planning anything..... but when they all pop off, what are the rest going to do?they think the ns will come before they all die, so how the heck will they cope with it ,scriptually speaking/ surely cause a few to 'desert'?
there was a thread a few days ago about elders being up graded to fds status by some out of context crappily applied scripture;do you think they'll explain the absence of god's action with' the fds is still here!.
or will they work everyone up into a horribly humiliating fever pitch of protelisizing ,the like of which we have yet to see?

I remember something about the 'chieftan class' at the same assembly that we got the Isaiah no1 book. The idea being they could take over from the FDS, but I also thought the whole idea of re-thinking 'the generation' was to pre-empt the quetion at the top of this topic. I recall telling some old timers I didn't understand it much the first time round, but I thought the new light on the FDS/cheiftan class would put many off,answer: well at least we know we have the truth.I got more confused after that, and took the usual approach of not thinking too hard.But it all starts to add up, gets confusing, but most don't know what else to do. I feel sure things will change only when they start having to close KHs for financial reasons. Just a thought.

BE AFRAID, WT could predict the future
by apostate man ini just had a scary thought.
the wt could predict something, and because of the size of their organization, actually make it come true.
lets say they had "new light" and every jw would be taken to heaven on a certain date.

A few years ago a visiting speaker said something like: 'yes we are neutral now, and we don't take part in wars but we do not know what we might be asked to do in the future' I think some would eat their young if the GB said so.

About three weeks ago I told a friend about the UN thing, no-one else, I had known for months but didn't tell her till she brought up a similar subject. I gave her a printout from a Guardian article, I have only had a short terse text message since. I know she has a lot more to lose than I did, and I stopped going to meetings last year. My question is this; if she tells the elders and shows them the article (I would not deny it) could I be DF'd. I no longer really care, but if that is the case I think I would want to tell as many as possible as much as possible, to enlighten them and also so that they would'nt hear some garbled rubbish gossip excuse for me being DF'd, as is usually the case.I also know some stuff about the cong which I know they don't want the outside community to know and the might think I'd tell.As you know, if the cong is led to think I'm looking at those evil apostate websites they wont't believe a word I say. My non-JW husband thinks I should send them all copies of the articles, or nail them to the KH door, but that might be a bit extreme. What do you think?
