i completely "stopped" being a jw around 1995. i was wondering if there is a succinct list -- somewhere on-line -- of changes/events that the wts has gone through in the last 12 years?
i haven't received any of the publications or really spoken with any jws in many years.
Hi Farkel LOL
Yes I know all that
What I meant was:
Before 2001 they told everyone that the UN was "The Disgusting Thing".
Then they got "caught" as NGO's
They said "we weren't supporting the UN we just needed a library card"
What I was wondering was:
Since 2001 have the WT said IN PRINT "Oh and by the way - we STILL think the UN is "The Disgusting Thing" ?
jesus' message differs from every other religious leader of his day in that he encouraged his followers to love their enemy.. are jw's encouraged to love their enemies?.
they aren't allowed to even pray for disfellowshipped former brethern although they are stray sheep.
you'll recall jesus said that a fine shepherd would even leave the 99 sheep to go after and return with the "stray".. how do jw's love their enemies?.
ROFL
Nice one Terry
How you doing!

Would I be correct in saying that since the 2001(?) UN NGO stuff they haven't said in print that the UN is the "disgusting thing"?
I don't have a WT CD-ROM so I can't (be arsed) checking . . .
It just occured to me that although they have defended their position on becoming an NGO to get a library card (ROFL) I don't recal them re-iterating their "The UN is the Disgusting Thing" stance.
Anyone checked?

144,000 is no longer considered a literal number. It has now been revealed to the witlesses as being symbolic.
Since when!!??
Did I miss something . . . ?
the topic on assembly meals hot food at the dcs past...what was it like?
made me think of the days sat on the terraces at district conventions.
they were originally 4 day affairs but ended up just friday and the weekend (maybe they are just the weekend now?)..
Hey Simon!
I used to sit on those Hillsborough terraces under the polythene "tents"
I'm the same age as you . . . we could have been camped next door LOL

99% of jw's have no idea whats allowed and whats banned - too complex.. so most jw's tick the i accept nothing box.
this from an hlc member i spoke with some time back.
just to be on the 'safe' side, ironically.. anyway imagine the number of dead jw's there would be if this was allowed to run its course.. so imho part of the hlc raison d'etre is to make sure jw's take the blood fractions they are 'allowed'.. thoughts?.
I've held that view ever since I left.
I'm sure I've posted it on here somewhere
