in my area, a lot of the young jws, especially girls are getting breast implants, nose jobs, chin implants.
asian jws girls get eyelid surgery, and one girl even got her legs lengthen 5 inches making her about five feet nine inches tall the male jws are getting hair transplants and nose jobs.
and nobody in the congregation says a word, including elders.
I didn't even know plastic surgery for height was possible!!
This is rather disgusting, especially coming from people who think they are so 'spiritual', and who think the world is ending. What happens in paradise, their noses go back to what they were?
i guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.
we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.
it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.
we would all agree that music whatever its form or genre, speaks to us, maybe a favorite childhood nursery rhyme, maybe dads music,etc.
a lot of us where shut down to such wordly things, some were not.
music has always helped me in hard times, that song, that artist, that let's get moving stuff, what speaks to you, its not a cure all, but what do you like?

Ok I'm confused about something. How can that form say 'be assured this goes for local operating expenses', when you all have said there's a new 'arrangement' where the society can take all excess funds in a congregations account?
Also, they say 'give us an interest free loan,' when the society has charged interest (which goes against very clear words in the Bible, btw) for building loans. The society can do it, but individual publishers can't, it's got to be interest free. And when would these loans be paid off? This seems like a problematic issue.
and what is the point of destroying the forms, when they are anonymous anyway, and their information is gathered and tallied?
at our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.
it's expected this will continue to happen.
the "branch" has not sent the requested number of magazines.

Sorry! Had some trouble with freezing while posting there. Paradise beauty, I meant to say...if you tell them you are having trouble with some of their teachings, be sure to say you are researching their publications, trusting in the governing body, and praying to jehovah about it. If they think you might be a threat, and spread dissent, you will be disfellowshipped. So be sure to say you are keeping it to yourself, too. Good luck!!
ok, before i get flamed, the title does have sarcasm built in.
at the same time, i can not ignore the line of events as they occurred this past couple of weeks.
while this has not made any of my relatives make any sudden changes, i believe it has put at least my wife to think.. we had a family event this past weekend in a nearby town.

i picked up a printed copy of the june 1 2015 public edition wt..... before the end of page 1, the stupidity is already evident.. they quote a dictionary, but don't list which one.. they quote a "world- famous physicist", but don't give his name.
the quote looks like it is edited to fit their reasoning.. they quote "others", but no reference to who they are is provided.. the next page quotes "a popular science writer" who??.
then the classic line "jehovah's witnesses respect each person's right to make a decision on this matter".
