Not jealous but irritated that some ass sucker got appointed. Then again I was appointed an elder at 25 so I guess I was that ass sucker.... not anymore, boy do I regret that.

Wow.. I don't think there is anything that I can say about this. I just hope that if this situation ever happens in my family that my daughters feel free to approach us so this tragedy doesn't happen. Very sad, cult's instill this fear in people and its very dificult for others to undertand it if they aren't in the situation.

Simple, they do not address it at all. Many of the JWs today are virtually unaware of any doctrines pre-dating 1990 so there is really no need to discuss it. Myself being a born in I was not aware of many of these events and doctrines developing around me as I grew up. When the 1995 Generation change it that really started my doubts to surface.
I know of a few MS's in my cong and even a few elders who were not even JW's when that happened and I am in the US. I would imagine with the growth that took place in the 1990's because of Russia and other places that there are many in responsible positions in the org that simply do not know what was previously taught unless they research it themselves.
Short answer... the the Rank and File in general have no clue about it.

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.

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..
