The New York Times has this Op-Ed piece in today's paper:
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html?ref=opinion
I found it rather disturbing. If you take at face value what is suggested, I can see how organizations like the Watchtower become a popular hiding spot for pedophiles.
during the public discourse today the brobot talked about the gog of magog, and he stated that he was satan!!!
i had to ask my wife if i heard him correctly, and she said yes he said it is satan.... i couldnt wait to run up to the brobot after the meeting and inform him of he "new light" we just recieved yesterday!!!
when i approached him i asked him : what is gog of magog?
Even as a diehard JW the whole discussion of Gog of Megog bored me silly.
I never understood what we believed, so I guess a change is not that tramatic.
anybody going or who can give us the noolite hot from the gb a$$?.

Starting January 2015 a new part on the service meeting entitled “How Do You Know The Truth” will replace local needs, in which approved members of the congregation will be invited to share their experiences
Even if that is successful, it is self limiting. You can find maybe 4 or 5 interesting experiences. What are you going to do after that?
so it's rumored started by one member that there is a new pioneer rank called basic pioneer, announced at annual meeting.
can anyone verify this is true?
everything else presented at the meeting has been verified except this.
What? A 10 hour pioneer? You got to be fuc&*ng kidding.

Great thread. I feel like I lived the experience. I am sure the JW sensors are monitoring this thread are are screaming. God bless the all!
to me its a great example of a totalitarian government's ability to manage information and keep us in the dark; .
all right it was a long time ago.
should we just forget about it?.
After reading all of Robert Caro's books about L. B. Johnson I am convinced that Johnson had the means, ability, and desire to do away with Kennedy.
Do I think Johnson was behind this - No!
Despite Johnson's desire to become president I think he was a victim of circumstances.
Again, this is my opinion. I was only 6 years old when Kennedy got shot so don't blame me.
Johnson was a despicable man but he was also lucky.
the owner of the company that i work for was talking to me today about his brother who chose a different line of business and makes more money than him.
he seems to be upset about his choice of work.
but when when i look around this guys yard he has done very well for himself but apparantly not as well as his brother.
A good quality of character = ambition
bad = greed
Fine line between the two.
Well said. I am all for ambition, but very anti greed.

It has been 38 minutes since the last update. I hope our mole has not been captured.

Jealousy is an emotion that can kill. You will always find more successful people. Get over it.
a genuine question really.. do they actually make desicions or are they simple sock puppets for the lawyers?.
are they just a front (like the queen is in the uk), with little or no desicion making input?.
do they just give talks and make appearances?.
I suspect decisions are made well before the issue is presented to the GB. They probably make the decision between A and B. But the decision as to what is presented is made long before a sanitized presentation is made.
