The fact that they put this on their website but dont put other noteworthy things on there (like the Australian Investigation) is worthy of zero respect.
If they LEFT this news about France off their website at least you could say they dont put things on there good or bad but this selectivity makes them look very bad.

by Olivia Wilde indue to circumstances right now i cannot leave permanently the watchtower, however i need honest advice of what to say when elders question me how come im not meeting the group out for door to door & going out in " field service"... what would be proper responses not to draw suspicions since i'm aware of ttatt.. .any serious advice please...

Great ideas above!
Olivia, depending on what your actual situation is, when I first began fading I limited my service to going on Bible studies of other people.
Meet, go, sit, come home. Easy peasy.
There is usually someone who would love to have a person go on a study at an odd hour with them (afternoons for example).
Also, I had a non Witness friend who I studied with, who quit studying but we still met for coffee and dinner occasionally. I just turned in a couple hours a month for that.
I know another lady who used a bum knee to start her back stepping away from field service. Once she realized the mileage she could get out of that bum knee it became permanently injured until she faded. At which point it was miraculously healed LOL.
I understand exactly what you mean by wanting to do this on your terms without having to answer to or be hounded by the elders.
All the best to you!

Extreme emotions re today's watchtower
by Tornintwo ini was supposed to attend the meeting today, one of my once a month duties for the sake of my family and my fade.
i read the wt and i just can't stomach going.... what this wt does is again and again reiterate that only jws will survive the coming destruction and that they should be happy about this and raise ourselves erect...eg:.
we cannot expect that many people will suddenly convert to true christianity.

Funny that one of the criteria for living through the coming upheaval is how you treated the annointed.
That got me thinking about just exactly how the GB is treating the anointed.
Theyve stripped them of all power and prestige by claiming that only the GB speaks for God (well the GB and some vague other things inferred by G. Jackson (rocks crying out maybe?)
By doing this they took away the prestige and honor shown them by the publishers as well as effectively placing a gag order on them to say anything at all.
Hows that for how you treat the annointed?
On the bright side however, the GB scrupulously avoids using the word "rapture".
Whats not to like?

Psychology: Sick of Elder Low tone slow paced talk
by Aprostate Exam innow after 21 years in professional psychology/humanities, i love talking to brothers that adopt a slow pace in speech, and low tone of voice when they deal with the rank and cold un-associated ones.
my mirroring their present state in personality seems to psych them out for a bit.
i then tap into my fast injection of logical sense, that throws them off.

Just went over and read the actual comment.
Maybe Bro Jay is a Bethelite?
If they have plants here to watch what is being said - why not there? I would think especially there!

I have an account there. I started it when I began to feel myself slipping spiritually and just couldnt stomach the local devious elders. I thought maybe if I broadened my viewpoint it would help me.
I started a membership here too.
Guess which one helped me?
The folks over there didnt ring true to me. I think they are all striving to "chin up" to the perceived tone.
Basically they are all trying to out spiritual one another. Im sure some there know that and are unsatisfied but dont know what to do.
That would have described me at one point.

Thats pretty funny!
What always gets to me is when they say Jehovah all long and drawn out
"Ja- HO- va"
with that long drawn out HO
so nausea inducing.
