Are there any known JW doctors?
by 4mylove ini think there is one at my hospital because of what a coworker said one time in reference to blood doctrine.
i can't imagine them going into medicine with all the time it requires, between school, residency, etc.
just wondering

Generation - Prep for bigger change?????
by The Scotsman inthis apparent change to the "generation" is pretty major i think.. when we consider all of the changes in understanding (i mean flashes of light!.
the 1995 change extended this old system by detaching the generation from 1914.. then the may 2007 wt qfr detached the gathering of the anointed from 1935.. now the latest change detaches the generation from all mankind except the small group of anointed.. and because of the 1935 detachment this could run for quite sometime.. most r & f jws will embrace this with both hands.
for me that is my greatest concern - millions will not even stop to think that we only had a flash of light about.

I have gone to the 2-day elder's school (Maybe it was 3 days). Very very painful. I cant imagine what a week of that crap will be like.

I also have read the threads on the new light. It does not makes sense. Perhaps because I no longer think in jdub, for what ever reason it makes no sense.
If someone can explain, I thank you.

WT Finances shaky?
by Uncertain inwith the dollar devaluing, the real estate market in the usa tanking and the biggest growth in jws coming from the lower income areas, i'll bet they are in financial hurt.
bigger hurt than the protestants down the street, or the bottomless coffers of the roman catholics.. as the r and f ages, they realize that they must take any measures they can to provide for their "golden years" and are probably reducing donations.
and as the children leave the fold, they will be less likely to support mom and dad giving their estate to the fds.

there is a critical difference between assets and cash flow.
This is absolutely correct. There are two things taking place. On one side they are cutting back on the operations. Less mags and literature, layoffs, and etc. On the other side the wealth continues to grow. Through investments and real estate. While the general market is south, their holdings in Brooklyn Heights continue to grow. The real estate bubble did not hit NYC.

Was Your Field Service Report Accurate?
by minimus indid you typically "fudge" your report??
i did.

The field service report is a form of coercive control that elders have over the r&f. It has nothing to do with productivity in the field service.
A natural reaction is to mitigate the coercive lock the elders have. The easiest way to do this is to add a few hours. Everyone wins.

What made you get baptized?
by Frequent_Fader_Miles inbasically, i was forced into it.
believe me, baptism was the last thing i wanted to do.
but i was already in my early twenties, and the rank and file were like why don't you get baptised!

I was not forced. I was 15 and wanted to pioneer when the GT began in 1975.

It is too bad that trolls try to destroy a legitimate thread.
I was not aware the the annual meeting is today. We need some spies. There is always some sort of tidbit that indicates a change indirection by the society.
When I lived in Brooklyn Heights the annual meeting was a big deal. It was like all the oldtimers returning to Mecca. You could always tell those who attended, because they had the air of superiority based on being invited.

Put the Governing Body members on an iceberg and let it float away, leaving them in God's Hands.
Havent they already done that. The gb no longer run the business of the watchtower. The wt is now run like a business with lawyers running interferemce.
They have to keep the gb in place for appearances, but I doubt they have anything but a bare minimun of influence of the direction of the society.
