As far as I know yes. Lately the only doctrine's they've been playing with are "This Generation.." and the Faithful and discreet slave.

How Do They Still Preach & Teach The "End" Is Right Around The Corner And Never Get Embarrassed?
by minimus infrom from the very beginning, the watchtower has been wrong about every prophecy regarding "the time of the end".
they still continue to spout false information.. go out and preach before it is too late!
lol!!!

They use the "God's time table is different from ours". We need to think in non-human terms. They have a stupid answer for everything.

In my congregation I'd say about 40-50% or so. Hard to tell sometimes because they do not always use them weekly. I did notice that there was a surge of elders adopting them after the "official" JW Library app came out last year. I guess diehards were waiting for mother to give approval by dripping milk out of her teet first.

Is new light coming again?
by justme67 ini just turned in my resignation letter to my congregation a few weeks ago.
last week, 2 elders called me to say they received my letter and would like to meet with me to discuss my concerns.
in my letter, i said i had found out about all the child abuse cases that were going on and that i didnt agree with their policy of disfellowshipping.

Unless I missed a letter or two I'd cry b/s on this one.
The re-branding process is in full effect though so I am sure there are more changes ahead, the Eld-Whores just don't about it yet.

An important message from a PRACTICING Jehovah's witness
by Sparks inhi, i am also a practicing jehovah's witness and very proud of it,to say the very-very least..!
i am a middle-aged man with many decades of being a witness of jehovah god in england.. this important letter is personally to you, just as many of the bible's 88 letters are to be taken personal by you the reader.
i am writing to you to urge you to take stock of your life, think what your future holds for you.

Sparks please let your body of elders know that you posted on this site so that you can experience the full force of the loving concern that they will show you.

On a typical Saturday, there might be 30 or 40 people out in service.
Wow, what a "spiritual" congregation. In my cong Saturdays if you add all the groups up are maybe 20-25. CO forget it, as others aleady posted it goes way up. Bunch of kiss asses and its only going to get worse now that the CO has even more power.

It's All About Tablets
by metatron inwell, that seems to be the latest hot thing amoung witnesses.
everybody buys a tablet.
even the poor families that eat carb heavy meals are gettin' em.. maybe they can't afford the latest apple product like the maxi/mini pad or whatever they're calling it these days so a trip to ebay or overstock.com fills the bill.. use it instead of a songbook.

I am in the technology field for work so I have been into the tablet since before the first iPad came out in 2010. Few realize that PC manufacturers were making laptops years ago that could flip and around and turn into a tablet. The screen's were not capacitive (no multi-touch) and it was cumbersome and slow.
Since iPad I have been also using the increasingly popular Android devices and am quite satisfied. I'd say about 50-60% of my cong. uses tablets at the meetings. It's easier, less books to bring. Until the next big thing comes along tablets are here to stay. Use them..

What did you do with old WT/Awake magazines?
by naazira inwhen you were a witness, what did you do with your old watchtower (public/ study versions) and awake magazines?
i know for some throwing away a magazine is comparable to burning a quran.
i never threw them out!

Many things over the years. Most recently:
1. 2 Witness Rule doesn't work for certain CRIMES. Pedophiles seldom have witnesses, its a crime report it.
2. Elders appointed by holy spirit...Really?
3. Bashing Higher Education yet they send a letter out to all elders asking if there any with special skills that can work for free on their Warwick project.
4. Blood fractions... lol What does abstain mean? I like the ham sandwich illustration in Ray Franz's book.
5. "This generation.." wtf?? Please make up your mind and please have it make sense.

Not sure but leaning slightly more towards his existence. I am however 100% convinced that the WT (FD&S) has it completely wrong.
