This must be enthralling entertainment to the downsized ex-Bethelites who can now view it from the outside looking in. Why don't they tack this on to the end of Christopher George's speech as a sort of coda to his "Dealing with Change?"

"f the JWs really believed this scenario was coming, when the pioneers "simplified", they would have sold their luxurious home, driven past the apartment building, and moved to rural real estate...."
What do you mean Billy, ... like selling 124 Columbia Heights and high-tailing it to Warwick?

It's not surprising that the treatment of the subject in the Awake! magazine would be less strident -- and milder -- than either the study-edition Watchtower or what's said from the podium... it is, after all, the milder, comparatively more benign public face the WT likes to adopt for general consumption.
AS for tolerating celibate JWs, forget it... they're already on record as having said it's unacceptable, citing "that's what some of you WERE" ... 1 Cor. 6:9

by Doug Mason inon the way, at a place where they spent the night, the lord met him and tried to kill him.

it was then she said, "a bridegroom of blood by circumcision.

Old Hippie, your constant nay-braying is really beyond tiresome; if you can't see that the WT's atttendance as events such as these is blatant hyprocrisy given all they've said about dalliances with world politics and false religion, you need a new pair of glasses. -

Prince died. The Awake article come across my mind.
by AntiEntropy inenlarge the picture.
music: both rap and heavy metal music have recently come under increasing fire for similar content problems.
songs that glorify the sexual degradation and abuse of women, violence and hatred toward various races and policemen, and even satanism have all been found among rap and heavy metal records.

Well done, Steve2; a welcome comment in the interest of fairness. Nonetheless, it's clear that his lifestyle, even in its toned-down post-baptism form, was wildly divergent from the JWs' generally tolerated norms. -

"It actually is MORE disrespectful, and a slap in the face, to literally go to the place the funeral is being held, but NOT even have the decency to walk thru the door and pay your respect."
It's astonishing that this is held up as exemplary conduct, to be emulated rather than to be deplored as intolerance.

by konceptual99 indon't normally waste time watching these but this one caught my eye as it was obvious what the subject matter would be about..... http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbmw_201604_2_video.

Korean News : CoC in Korean
by AntiEntropy inhi bros.. after my father's publishing his book, "15 questions after 40 years of jw" , many ex-jw bros in korea became motivated to rush to the coc korean project.
however any secular project needs a fund eventhough it's a not-for-profit.
fortunately, a bunch of bros decided to donate generously $300~$7,000 to this unprofitable business.
