  In my mind, while reading the GB letter, I was trying to disprove them, their whole reasoning and point. I must say I'm dissapointed by myself as I realized I couldn't reason against them.

  What could I say if I presented the facts about WTS's UN membership to a jw, and he'd in the same way the GB responded to Brant?

  How would you respond to their letter?

  i just noticed that the movie noah has been officially rated pg-13 in the us.

  now all of the jws who were waiting anxiously to see if they could go see it will flock to see the movie.

  i have heard a couple jws say "i hope it isnt rated r so i can go see it".

  Guess what Wasanelder, I'm excited too. If a movie is based on a book, I prefer it to stay as much close to the original story as it can. I never got why would screenwriters depict the ark the way they did, whereas the Bible describes quite in detail its shape and size etc.

  I'll watch this movie not only because as a child I enjoyed the story of Noah but because I'm big fan of Russsel Crowe.

  a few minuites ago talking to my sister who is finally seeing the watchtower for what it is and is scrutinizing it alot brought something to myu attention that troubled my longtime jw mother dearly.

  she said after reading the article about the death of guy pierce she noticed that they never refered to him as brother pirce.

  she said everytime they mentioned his name they refered to him as mr. pierce.. .

  I might open up a champagne to celebrate his "retirement"

  How Were You Affected by All The Rules & Regulations From The Watchtower Society?

  by minimus in

  there are so many directives for elders, pioneers, ministerial servants and "publishers", it is mind boggling!!!.

  to fulfill all of their expectaions, you would have to be perfect!.

  i must say, that i really don't know how some do it, every day, ever week....i wonder how long some of the elders that frequent this board will still push the flock like the watchtower says they must..

  I can see how it affects my parents. Dad is literally in zombie mode: his life mainly consists of working, eating and keeping up with the wts standards for an ms. WHILE my step mother under the excuse of pioneering doesn't go to work, has time to play on his galaxy s (!), watches tv all the time and complains about the lack of money.

  I literally have no non-jw relatives and I probably will never get out.

  We didn't have internet until recently when there was a talk at the meeting about how we should keep up with technology and use the new jw.org site.

  Now I'll be like OMG for the next few days. This is some interesting news especially because it's quite rare to find the "Jehovahs Witnesses" expression in a movie description on imdb.com

  NVR2L8, I knew someone would start explaining that. I just didn't bother editing my post afterward because I thought my point was clear enaugh with or without the word "conditional". Love, hypocrisy, respect, I don't care about their motives. What I know is that according to the story being discussed jws there are not practising the same religion as jws here.

  My opinion is that love doesn't exist. But that is off topic.

  Lol, I just discovered the "options" under the welcome text. I haven't noticed until now. Why isn't that set as default? Anyway, I can still help around if needed.

  Less emoticons and more consecutive letters in a meaningful order, maybe?

  Well, I don't know what part of the world you are living in but here in Eastern Europe I could not imagine that jws would act like that. If one thing showing love, even if it's conditional, is still present.

  I'm sorry you had to go through that. The conclusion for me is that jws are not that united at all.
