keep in good standing---conscience----- in this case others imposition of guilt---- how about to young too immature to get married in the first place?

Who Should Pay For My Wife's Funeral? Me or the Congregation? She killed herself.
by ÁrbolesdeArabia ini am a jw rule breaker, and i have never been a "rat", as logic dictates i am very trusted with people's dealings (inner circles of local players).
"dear james, there is a brother whose wife pretty much killed herself two years ago and refused to pay for her funeral."...
"he is still in good standing after forcing the congregation to pay for her burial, "wake" and funds for her poor kids to attend the funeral.".

Fall of Giants---Ken Follet
by ldrnomo inone of the most freeing things i've been able to do since fading from the watchtower's tendril like grasp is, "read what i want to" i particularly enjoy historial novels because they entertain and inform all at the same time.
i'm just finishing the first of a trilogy "fall of giants" and there was a paragraph that made me think of the great influence of propaganda machines (probably because i was so influenced by the watchtower) i am hugely aware of it's power to lead people all over the place like the waves of the sea i suppose.. here is the paragraph:.
maud knew the proprietor of the mail, lord northcliffe.

cycle or no there is one new never before player on the block. The Web.
By this modern miracle the ignorant will remain so (cant use that its satanic or i could never use a computer etc) and the curious and the scholars will be rewarded with garbage and with profound truths.
the new game is to use your brain and personal sense of decency to do the sorting.

What is up with the influx of electronic readers at the Kingdom Hall
by wannabefree incrazy!.
the local publishers seem to be jumping on the e-reader bandwagon.. sisters even in their 70's are showing up at the hall with ipads loaded with publications for the meetings for crying out loud!.
a couple of these elderly sisters are having me get theirs ready ... should i add coc and captives of a concept ... perhaps studies vol vii ... to the library for them.

the same as bros printing all sorts of comments to use in the WT. Trying hard to get more out of the thing. Prob is the WTS has contempt for scholarship and any 'looking up' in my experience can only be via the WTS publications.
Lets hope some one slips in an article on being so long winded about presentations. and that taking up the max amount of time is not what its about.

mother rejects her son
by Aussie Oz inhad a phone call from my son today.... he rang his jw mother to give her some news and found out the school his little half siblings go to was having an end of year play.
he was pretty excited apparently and asked if he could come along and this is how it went.... "no, it is for family.
for our family not for children who never speak or visit us.".

WT Elders school: Look how cute that kindly old elder is! Too bad the Talmud says we have to stone our victim anyway
by sir82 inmore haphazard thougths on the recently concluded elder school..... a big chunk of time was spent on a video which traced a judicial case, all the way from the confession to the elders through the decision to disfellowship the guy.. here is a very brief synopsis of the video:.
tearful late-teen or early-20's publisher confesses to 2 elders that he committed fornication with a "worldly girl" who is now preganant and wants to marry him.
the elders give him some "homework" to do prior to his judcial committee - read psalm 51 and an old wt article.

which way do they want it? The brothers in Mexico (iam told) obtained false documents to say they had done their mil service, The WTS was quite happy with this.
Would the GB like to travel to Armenia and spend some time in the prison there.?
