  by wisdomfrombelow in

  starting the week of september 3rd they will cease having local announcement as part of the service meeting.

  is there going to be a much reduction of the letters sent to the congregation?

  will everyone be expected to read the bulletin board to know what is going on?

  good morning, fellow posters:.

  ironic opening question, eh?.

  certainly i could answer this question myself from the publications and personal experience; however, i am interested in your perspective, background, experience (whatever you're willing to share).

  The only officially sacationed association is at the meetings and field service. What you do outside of that is up to you so my advice for them is do what they want on their own time but be careful not to let it get back to those who are busybodies in other people's matters.

  I'll try to give a simple answer.

  Smartphone - phone which you an install apps on and has good internet integration

  i-pod - generic name for a music player. iPod is an is an Apple brand of music player

  Androids - a phone or tablet running the android operating system and can use android apps.

  There is some crossover with bigger phones that almost approach the size of tablets. A smartphone can do everything that a ipod can do as well as make phone calls. A tablet is like a big ipod so you have a screen that is easier to watch movies on and read books on.

  My mother is trying to indoctrinate my 4 year old and I do not know what to do

  my mother lives a plane trip away from me, so does not get to spend very much time with zac.

  however, she is in sydney for 3 weeks and has been babysitting.

  i knew that she would be talking about jehovah, but was very annoyed yesterday when zac said my mother was speaking all day about jehovah, such as how he made the stars.. in the past, i was not overly concerned if zac learnt about jehovah's witnesses, as i thought it would help with critical thinking skills to understand different points of view.

  I don't know if I can add more that what was already said but you definitely need to have a clear and firm set of boundaries given to your mother. Before that, you need to discuss it clearly with your wife so you both can be in agreement. As others have said, you need to talk to your son. There is no way to really insulate and protect our children against the outside world. I hate to think of children being used as a tool by anyone. Grandparents have a lot to offer and if they need to be supervised then so be it.
