after reading the thread about jw kids getting gifts all year and not needing christmas, i thought about how i was told there would be plenty of toys in the new system.
i was told that on my birthday too.
and now i started thinking about all the things i justified suffering growing up as a kid, and then a teenager, and then an adult, because it would be better in the new system.
Have my wife get naked, glue pages of Studies of the Scriptures to her body, put a ball gag in her mouth and slap her on the behind while listening to Kingdom Melodies.
Rub a Dub
Seriously,..what is wrong with you?
Do you not know how much you can get for Studies in the Scriptures on eBay these days?

we are only a few short months into the "no more announcements - let them read the notice board" at the meetings, and now the effects of that new directive are beginning to reveal themselves: no information being given out regarding someone's loss of a relative, no information about someone who is ill or been admitted to hospital, and definitely no information about families moving out of the area and going to other congregations!!.
however, announcements about "special" christmas day field service must be made!!.
the import of the apostle paul's words really seem to have gone over the "decision-makers'" heads - (galatians 6:10) really, then, as long as we have time favorable for it, let us work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to [us] in the faith.. coupled with the removal of the weekly group book study, the detrimental consequences of eliminating fellow-feeling and closer contact with one another can only lead to one eventuality - alienating one another!.
When did they announce that there would not be any of these kind of announcements?
Nver heard of it.

on their website, the soc explains why they are halving the size of the public wt and awake!
magazines:.
and this is the wt only, not the awake!.
I think that the ILFA (International Landfill Association) told them that they would give them some kick back money if they could cut back on the pages since it was filling up their landfills faster than anticipated.

Good one..
the current members of the governing body and their predecessors have for over one hundred years contributed to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, theodemocracy and human rights in more than 200 countries... on this account, the norwegian nobel committee has decided to nominate the governing body of jehovah's witnesses in 2013 for the nobel peace price.

Maybe it is tongue and cheek due to all the media exposure in Norway at the moment regarding the WTBTS.

i'm not paying more than our house payment for vince and i to see a show.
i will buy the video and watch it nekkid.. the last time i saw them was in 1994 at legion field with my best friend.
we still say after all these years it was one of the best nights of our lives.. .
Could it be possible that these are "make the stones cry out" that was being referred to in the Bible?
Probably if the prophecy was concerning expressively about a music band 2000 years into the future or
perhaps you might be just mentally unbalanced.
Reading the bible is known to make people mentally screwed up.
I thought I would just throw that out there to see if it would stick. lol
(The following is just to poke fun at the mind control that the GB has on the JWS, did not want you to think that I was buying into this since I failed to mention that I was joking in the prior post lol )
I'm sure that the active Jws out there that would say "You must be crazy to believe something like this!!" if they heard this coming from anyone other than the GB.
But once they heard that a comment like this originated from the GB, they would do their best to make it fit that prophecy in the Bible.
If not, their carrot starts to dissapear.

And maybe add a panel from the top view that shows that they are going around in a big circle.

hubby and i (faders) were in the supermarket today.
we had just avoided and completely ignored an elder and his wife when we saw a newly married couple who were both recently disfellowshipped, of course being the rebels we are we made a bee line for them.
the df man was until recently a workmate of my hubby so they quickly got into an animated discussion and i met the new wife who seemed nice but let me know they were getting reinstated asap.
I think that when you said " I let them know that it was my DF years ago that set me on the path to realising that it wasnt the true religion." and they still invited you over to their house after that it shows that they are open minded enough to want to know more about TTATT.
This could be your chance to plant some seeds that may get them into doing some research, if not already.
