  Not viewed as a JW if not reported for 6 months?

  by kramer in

  hi, i seem to remember that the society have said that you are not viewed as a witness if you have not reported for 6 months.. does this ring any bells?

  someone i know has been called for a judicial, even though she has said she doesn’t believe and is not not attending meetings and hasn’t for 6 months.what she did was 12 months ago when she was a witness.. she is not sure whether she should turn up or not, as turning up shows she thinks she answers to elders still.

  but also doesn’t want to be automatically disfellowshipped which may happen if she doesn’t turn up.. if there is an article to quote saying someone inactive isn’t seen as a witness, this would be helpful.. any thoughts?.

  No this is not true at all.

  You are inactive.
  It will be the elders mission "when the CO reminds them" to REactivate you.

  If only it were so easy.

  so serena williams lost the us open final 6-2, 6-4 to naomi osaka, her japanese-american opponent.. williams received three code violations from the umpire, carlos ramos: .

  1. a warning for illegal coaching (subsequently admitted by williams's coach).

  2. a point penalty for smashing her racquet.

  Serena made it all about her, and help ruin a crowning achievement for a young player who idolized her.

  Its always about her.

  Has Your Political Views Affected Your Buying Habits or Entertainment?

  will you avoid nike or tend to not buy apparel because of their support of colin kap?

  would you stop doing business with anyone simply because you disagree with their politics?

  in california, in and out burger, democrats were being told not to support the chain because they donated to republicans.. will politics affect your spending habits?.

  BOY !! DID I SEE HOW SATAN WAS AT WORK - When I went to college for engineering!
  All that MATH! All that figuring out how many trucks of concrete are needed to make a foundation.

  I am so happy I listened to the elders and my pioneer friends and got out of Satans workshop!

  Who needs a career and money.

  Sisters handling mic's

  i saw a topic on another forum where a sister was supposedly carrying the mics.

  i was curious if this was even possible?

  is it new light or just a lie?.

  It is possible. Sister can do other functions as well. Like working behind the counter.

  The caveat is there MUST be NO brothers who could be qualified to do the work.

  (How) Will The Slow and Subtle WT Internal Shift Affect Us?

  by Solzhenitsyn in

  as a "deep pimo" i can say that there is a confirmed re-branding.

  the coordinators committee formed a focus group from service and teaching committees.

  the results of that group roughly three+ years ago, with gb approval, trickled down to the other committees and eventually into what we have been seeing before our eyes in the org and local congs.. pick an organizational level and see the shift.

  I think they’re going to stop publishing the numbers sooner or later

  I really thought that was going to happen when they stopped printing the yearbook.
  But the just put the numbers on the website.

  Remember, they can spin the numbers however they want.

  If they grow, its Jahs blessing, if they shrink, its because we are near the end and satan is working hard.

  Shrinking numbers actually plays into their "close ranks" mentality better right now.

  The liability of being an Elder is HUGE.

  Brothers are not thinking about that. Remember what it was like, you have no idea about what being an elder means past getting to give talks and getting Praised for being a spiritual man.

  
  Solzhenitsyn - I talk to PIMO elders ever week. Those who just can't escape because of family issues.
  

  You are being amazingly nieve if you think the GB is moving to a Kinder Gentler attitude, you are also ignoring the current message at the District Convention.
