it makes you wonder when exactly the governing body and their lawyers decided to change the "generation of 1914" doctrine.

unfettered,

"positive about jw"

I very much value some of the education I received in the organization. Not everything the society teaches is wrong. I have a very lucrative salary in part because of the experience and skills I received giving public talks and pioneering, as well as providing an excellent environment in which to learn a foreign language.
there has been a bit of stick about the negative comments about islam on this board, so i thought i would start a positive thread.. towards the end of the 90s, i lived for a year in an asian country with a population of over 100 million muslims.
all muslims i came across were honest, decent people.. a couple of years back, i went to work in iran for a couple of weeks.
as a result i had a couple days off at the weekend, which also happened to coincide with a public holiday.
hitman?
when they think convinient (instead of war) they try hitman, but is much harder in recent times, since J. F. Kennedy.

mary is blaming people at the "top" in the islamic culture, but then i compared with similar actions by top leader in western countries

like printing, war is an industry (part of the economy) with its chain of suppliers and demand

still,
you ask
and your point is?
my reply is more in response to
I think you would have come away with a bit different view of Iran, had you been a woman.
it's their religion and culture that I find extremely offensive. Like the WTS, it's the people at the top who control everyone else's lives who are to blame
than anything else.
Can you see the relantionship now?
do you have anything to say now?

jw got excited due to the oil embargo near 1975, nothing happened.
After the 1975 fiasco gb knew something didn't add up.
BUT the GB waited 20 years to bring new light 1975-1995. Hoping during the mean time something real big to happen
The new light was presented to a brand new generation of jw who did not experienced the 1975 fasco and most likely never heard of it.
Their older jw parents likely did not say anything, did not complaint so their teenage and young adults children would not walk out and become part of the "world".

how long ago was it that the most powerfull, "progressive" and "democratic "country in America allowed WOMEN and minorites to vote?
do you know women make less money (doing similar work) than men in most western countries?
Do you know there are about 4 millions USA citizens by birth that are not allowed to vote for the president of the usa?
Do you know that in the good olusa most of your earning is just to pay tax? (do the math) and then your tax money is used to go to the moon, vietnam and Iraq.
do you know Chad of Iran was the best friend the usa had around the area? (supporting his government style)
do you know the list can go on and on?
some posts are short.
some posts are long and need to be - example blondies weekly critique of the watchtower of which i am an avid reader.
what styles do you prefer:?
the ones which follow "ministry school" guidelines
this is not an introduction to sociology, just typing without much reflection.
do you think the wt would survive if they did not shun or ignore "apostates" (or anyone who does not follow the rules), be realistic, jw org is still an small group with survival instincts..
besides ignoring, is a very tipical human trick anyway, or do you think you could be accepted in any private club you want to?
Initially I presented more than one question and hoped to see more than one answer in each reply.
tw more question,
do you think the usa army or any, could function as desgined if they tolerated anyone who does not follow certain rules?
oh, if your jw family ignore you, who are you going to blame?
jw can make all the rules they want, all who follow the rules do it on voluntary basis. In most cases they wont take away your life, job or properties if you dont follow their rules.
German who killed jews were not without responsability just by saying they obeyed orders, even if not obeying could imply...

I ignore beggars many times as i think they should do better.
Even when people smile they may be ignoring in a polite way. Dont you ignore people?
If so WHAT ARE you motives?
