The program thing has been happening for a while. Usually the family prints something up.
The interview thing is newer. I first saw it done about 3 years ago.
I understand it has a place in the time allotment of the new memorial service outline the Org handed out recently.
i have thought about writing this article for many years, and the awake!
2014 no.4 was the final straw.
there it states that jehovah's witnesses show no prejudice towards homosexuals, and "they neither mock nor mistreat people whose practices differ from their own.

I really appreciate your input Steve.
there have been so many cuts in the past few years in the jw world what do you think might be next?
There has been a rumor floating around for years that they are going to cut the number of circuit overseers. Use qualified COBEs from a local circuit to do the job. Shorten the congregation visits to a long weekend (Thurs night thru Sunday).
I am not sure though since they removed D.O.s if that will happen but it would cut costs.
Circuit overseers seem somewhat of a liability as they cost the Org a lot of $$ and the members are finding them more and more of a visit they dread and just dont support
ok, i like to bake, cook, read and write.
my goal, short term is to work on a winning entry for the pillsbury bake off this year and other food contests.
i plan to write, maybe blog about the process.. my small problem with pillsbury is that i am a home baker.
oh yeah, the tastes buds will vote for velveeta!
You make a good point though in all seriousness....peoples taste buds are very adapted to what they are used to arent they?

coconut oil is a GREAT idea!
Only 7 ingredients huh?
Then each one really needs to count....

If I mull this over maybe I can come up with something better but the first thing that comes to mind is the whole foods movement.
Free range eggs, grass fed meats (not for baking but maybe the lard in pie crusts and such?).
Grass fed dairy milk, butter, cheeses.
You said Pillsbury so I am guessing that is the contest sponsor?
I like King Arthur flours personally,
we have a bethel speaker on the english side.
they're pretty regular up here since it's only three and a half hours drive from nyc.. but this is a special kind of visit.. it turns out he's involved in doing a special research project and the christian congregation of jw's wants to know us better.. in order for the broadcasting to address issues more meaningful for families, they want to know the demographic make up of the congregations.. he spoke with the secretary about young single publishers and couples 20-35 y.o.
how are they employed.
I think it shows they KNOW they have a problem.
Which is great...let them sweat a little.
The problem is not fixable so it doesnt really matter how much data they gather.
Old saying comes to mind...trying to shut the barn door after the horse is gone...

Same thought as Robo,
They have to gather and triangulate the data so the Holy Spirit can amaze the flock with its timely messages.
let me start by saying that this forum has been helpful to me in many ways.
i haven't gotten involved in much commenting and i am not very assertive by nature so i've steered away from participating in debates.
but i have read threads often and had a sense of community.
I love zeb!
Great thread Eyes Open...thanks for starting it and letting us see each others hearts,
