Your just out of touch Englishman. Cutting off family members only strengthens the family. I have found that the more bizaar the rules are, the stronger the family becomes. Personally I feel closer to my parents because they took away everything I enjoyed growing up. Who needs those silly opportunities to get away from work and come together and bond as a family(holidays). I love that awkward feeling of getting together without the shunned ones around, it make me feel special.

"Tell It Out" Amongst The Media.
by Englishman inall this hoo - hah about the wtbts being in bed with the un will certainly get the jw elders in quite a flap, we can expect much heart and soul searching to be taking place before too long amongst the r & f.. the troublesome part comes when you try to explain all this to a non-jw.
it's not much of a big deal at all if you don't recall how the wtbts used to heap derision upon the un.
if you want to get the publics attention via the media, we need to "tell it out", to quote the title of an obsolete kingdom melody.

Simon's spirit told me to open a branch in Hawaii and I need about $1,000,000 to get this started so PLEASE get those "donations" coming. I don't have a lot of time.

I think that as a master member, it would be appropriate that I take up a collection on behalf of Simon. Of corse these funds would simply be used to cover the cost of my work on behalf of Simon.

Boys Scouts & WBTS
by bj inas little jws, my brothers and i weren't allowed to join the boys scouts as it was affiliated with the catholic church.
on the other hand, the wbts can affiliate with whom she wants, such as ngo, firephim, etc., etc.
(romains 2:21-23).

I wasnt allowed to play sports in High School despite being heavily recruited to do so by coaches. Id like to sue my parents for being so stupid. Athletisism is/was as much a part of my identity as the nose on my face. I was told that what I wanted/needed was wrong/worldly. What a joke.

Faithful dubs will rationalize this situation and say that the WTS can affiliate with the U.N. because it is furthering the preaching work and thus it is necessary.

What exactly is an elder?
by kevin221 insorry if this is a dumb question but i'd like to know.
are they like on the same level of say a priest, or more like a deacon.
jon's father is an elder and he's the biggest wack job i've ever seen so i can't see how they could have much authority in any church that was worth being a member of.. just wondering,.

I never saw it done but I thought it would be great if someone got up on stage like he is ready to give a part, looked out at the audience-cracked a smile and simply say "this is a bunch of sh*t" and then walk straight out the door.
