Can you expound on the change in the witnessing work? Although I remain cautiously optimistic as to the validity of this news, It is very intriguing!

Violations of privacy re: postal mail by JWs
by Dogpatch ini have been sending out orders of books to jws, ex-jws and others for over 25 years.
sometimes plain wrap to keep the family's noses out of it.
over the years i have seen the same constant pattern: whenever the questioning jw lives with or near family members who are currently jws, they want to break open the mail to see what others are ordering!!

Absolutely outrageous!! Total ignorance of common decency! Respect for a person's privacy is paramount in a civilized society. These people are totally nescient!

Why the end is sooo close! Latest illogical JW logic
by Quandary inan elder mentioned yesterday in casual conversation how the end must be close 'because this is the first time in human history that a black man will probably be president of the us.
all other forms of government have had their day, now that a black man will be president, the angels, mankind and satan cannot claim that jehovah didn't give every possible chance for humans to make it without his rulership'.
almost verbatim!

Of course you do realize that she will tell others that "he didn't want to discuss this further because he couldn't argue against the significance of it." Well, probably that's her take on it. Unreal ain't it.
For the past year or so, I only make comments at the meeting on neutral, general issues, i.e. how we show christian love, what Jesus' example teaches us, etc... NEVER do I refer to what the "slave" says or do I ask for Jah's blessing on the FDS or GB in my prayers. I am sure the shrewd ones must be wondering about me already. Within a few months I will be so "out o there" it won't matter anymore!

Well, evidently this nonsense is making the rounds. A "sister" called my office today for her personal business but before ending the conversation she said 'What do think about these elections? Interesting times indeed, the end has to be close with a black being the favored candidate to win the election and the fact that it the was first time in history that a woman came so close blah blah blah' Mind you she is not in the same congregation as the elder mentioned at the begining of this thread.
I said, "England had Margaret Thatcher, Germany has Angela Merkel, I don't think it would be a big deal if Hillary would have clinched the nomination. Regardless of whether a black man or a woman became president, it would still be an American democracy, not a different form of government."
She said ' yeah, but it still is unprecedented and the fact that the US is the LAST world power this has to be very significant!!'
Not wishing to waste my time discussing a moronic issue, I said "sorry, but I have a lot of work to do, talk to you lalter."
I gave up. You cannot fight circular reasoning!

This statement totally came out of left field- Although he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, he is usually coherent- I think the desperation of these old timers in the "truth" is getting to them. They cannot fathom the "end" not coming in their lifetime. It's actually quite sad and pathetic.

Almost verbatim! I was totally dumbfounded!
How the heck is a black man as president a different form of government??

Why I will NEVER be an elder again
by stillajwexelder inso the po confirmed what many on this board already know.
at latest round of co to elders meeting, the co quoted from the society outline.
any elder or ms who encourages college for his kids or others or who allows his children to go to college will no longer qualify.. he then asked if i was going to take the cos encouragement and reach out again to be an elder and get my hours on the ministry up.. i replied "i will never be an elder again - i strongly approve of further education and college and have been through college myself.

No "in writing" direction was given. It was only orally delivered during the elders meeting with the CO.
