  Can we talk confidentially?

  the lot video shows what most elder’s offices are like.

  actually it a pretty well-equipped one and with the video context is, without a doubt, org-approved.

  but let’s face it.

  I remember once when a big case was "going down" in our Hall when I was growing up.

  One of the elders involved had (among other children) a handicapped son with cerebral palsy and learning disabilities who had been in a wheel chair his whole life.

  This was a very loved young person and one was never sure what he really comprehended and what he didnt...

  the night of the big shocking announcement, this boys father went on stage to begin making the announcement. Meanwhile in the audience, the handicapped young man (at this point in his 20's) turned most all the way around in his wheel chair in order to better watch the family this this impending announcement was going to be about.

  All other eyes were on the "and now we have a special announcement by Br. ________."

  Not that young man! He wanted to see the reaction of the family TO the announcement.

  Draw your own conclusions.

  now that the org.

  has gone 90% digital, it would seem most people now would rather read a good old fashioned book than a tablet!.

  way to show insight oh fearless leaders!.

  Sometimes books carry a fascination simply because they are old. The print font, the style of words used, the illustrations and so on.

  The actual information is last in what gives the book its value.

  This was always true of JW publications - even when they were new.

  I can see how they will hold a quaint charm and small companies will offer them on that basis.

  Would You EVER Go Back To Being A Jehovah's Witness?

  i could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.

  once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.

  IDEA "new business

  by James Mixon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after seeing tiger woods mug shot the idea hit me, a makeup artist for the famous and rich...i have never seen a mug shot of someone who didn't look like, well you know..weekends you camp out around the police station and charge 20-30 bucks to clean up arrestee(you the makeup artist) before taking their mug shot..i'am sure tiger would have paid big bucks.

  i have never taken a mug shot but why don't they offer the folks a mirror......of course you will need to make arrangement with the law but i think it's a good idea to make folks presentable.

  i'am sure some folks are declared guilty by just looking at their mug shot..

  So many well presented thoughts above.

  I can only add that religion must serve some type of purpose that is deemed necessary, for it to have survived among people in one form or another for so long now.

  Contained within that "purpose" are some kernels that are "true". Enough that people gulp down the whole concept.

  I wonder if this letter in any way ties in to their troubles with half quoting various reference materials from other authors?
