I wonder if good looks and youthfulness will be a new requirement when appointing GB members now...just like jfk running for president in the t.v. era.

Your body of elders - were they liberal, conservative or moderate?
by minimus inin my first kingdom hall, the elders were ultra conservative.
our presiding overseer used to be a zone overseer.
the second hall i was in was moderate.

Four Blood Moons might be significant
by CharlieSmith1975 inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuqzhnx7xma.
the bible does say that the "day of jehovah" (armageddon) would be associated with the sun becoming dark followed by the moon turning to blood.
but the moon turning to blood is specific to a total lunar eclipse.

Charlie, I think you're a bit crazy. I think you've had a hard life. If you had been allowed to live the way you were born to live, you wouldn't have been like this, but much more at peace. Bad luck that you were in this extremist religion. You've become obsessed with it. The complexities of it, which are absurd, have you all strung out. Jesus loves you the way you are. Don't dwell on scewed witness interpretation of bible prophesy. You have a nice face and are a pretty girl. -

I completely agree...don't make it a huge deal about the religion, just say you are sorry, you were going through a hard time and you miss him. Keep it lighthearted, but subtly suggest you are much happier without the meetings etc.
by the way, I remember the state you were in when you wrote before, and I'm really glad you're doing better.

The beginning of the end for shunning?
by Saltheart Foamfollower inthe borg seem to prepare for changes by missing explanations out for a while then presenting a "new understanding" which doesn't contradict the most recent discussion.check out the most recent references to gog - no identification as satan.. in today's wt study, paragraph 15 concerning benefitting from the prodigal son stated "if we meet a person who has strayed from the congregation, will we offer loving and practical help to assist him to return?
" there is no footnote or other qualifier saying not to go to disfellowshipped ones (who are definitely the ones being talked about) which is still the official policy.
i know this isn't an ending to shunning, but it may signal the start of the preparation for a change.

They often say friends and relatives 'choose' not to associate with df'd ones. So even if they are forced by law to forego this 'arrangement', they can still say it is the decision the members make not to associate with their families...and they will quietly make sure that happens. -

Why Armageddon Now?
by Garrett ini've been thinking and here's what i've come up with.
correct me if i'm wrong, but in the bible does it not state that the word would have to be preached throughout the entire inhabited earth for a witness to all people and then the end would come?.
with the world being as vast as it is today, it would be practically impossible for the witnesses to speak to everyone in the world.

I never had bad elder bodies in the cong's I was in. My friends did. The ones I had were good people, trying to survive their heavy workloads and the society's commands. Of course some were more conservative than others. But Personally, all my problems with this religion come from the top. I love most of the elders I've known and feel empathy for them. I've seen many who are too full of themselves, the big fish in their small ponds...but they were always somehow in neighboring congs. -

But the 'developing world' can't afford to finance what the society requires. They need developed countries to sustain their cash flow. If the only growth is third world and perhaps poor immigrants to first world, they're in trouble. -
