  i was telling my jw friend about the condi law suit.

  the first thing she asked was how did i even hear about it because it was news to her .

  ( i was 't expecting that reaction.

  It was originally on the official jw org website. I saw it on there myself.

  Anyway, that's side stepping the issue. What does she think to the case irrespective of where it's being reported?

  Publisher Attendance Records

  i was sitting at meeting the other night and happen to notice an elder with a sheet of paper with the title of the above post.

  it appears to have been composed on a computer, not a form printed by the org.

  on it were all the names of the people in this particular elders group and there were columns for the days of the week when we have our meetings.

  Next time it's out in the open, use your phone and take a photo of it. Tell the elder and the COBE that this violates the data protection act and you will email it to the CO for his opinion.

  Ask what he expects the congregation will say when you show them their 'records'.

  after being a witness for 40 years, i now find myself disfellowshipped.. i have had a number of doubts for a few years now, but still feel as if i'm living my life in the "t minus " to armageddon spector.. my parents are in their 80's and my dear mother is in very bad health.

  i was allowed to pop through - about once a month to make sure my parents were ok and for them to see their grandchildren.

  this all ended after the july watchtower article and especially since the district convention - with all the "counsel" on associating with disfellowshipped family members.. around 6 weeks ago, my dad asked me point blank why i wasn't trying to get reinstated.

  Go to the elders to explain you need to see your mum.

  If they will not help then tell them you will go to the local press and you will call Bethel to warn them what you intend to do.

  Your request as a caring child is reasonable and falls into the Necessary Business category.

  You need to get tough on this and their pressure point is bad publicity. Push on it.

  Ask your parents what secret sin they are hiding which is stopping Jehovah's holy spirit from helping them.

  Ask your brother what secret sin your parents must be concealing?

  Need Help - Looks like some one in my family got to know that we are fading...

  letter from a close family member... need help responding.... what a powerful illustration of the affect that our choice of friends can have on us, especially if we leave jehovah after being 'raised' by him from infancy!.

  pack of wolvesthere was a farmer who raised sheep and had trouble with wolves stealing his sheep.

  he loved his sheep and didn't want to lose even one of them.

  Presumably, had a little lamb escaped, got a dirty and matted coat then returned, the callous farmer would have turned his back on this one as well.

  I think it's the blind farmer who needs to be replaced with one who has compassion and discernment.

  For Jehovah to act they must first have FAITH, not doubting at all.

  Why go to the world when all things belong to Jehovah?

  *** w95 7/15 p. 14 par. 20 The Dignified Role of Women Among God’s Early Servants ***
  And when the widow of a prophet faced a creditor who was prepared to take her children to pay off her debt, Jehovah did not leave her in the lurch. Lovingly, God enabled the prophet Elisha to multiply her supply of oil so that she could pay the debt. Thus she preserved her family and her dignity.—Exodus 22:22, 23; 2 Kings 4:1-7.

  Your brother should step up. He is in a position to help, even if it means some refinancing.

  (2Co 12:14) 14 Look! This is the third time I am ready to come to YOU, and yet I will not become a burden. For I am seeking, not YOUR possessions, but YOU; for the children ought not to lay up for [their] parents, but the parents for [their] children. . .

  Do they own their own house? If so they can turn it over to you in return for you clearing the debts.

  Regarding being prophets, the GB flip flop over this more than anything.

  Recent articles saying JW's ARE prophets include:

  Awake 6/8/1986 p.9 - JW's are prophets "You will be interested to learn that God has on earth a people, all of whom are prophets, or witnesses for God. In fact, they are known throughout the world as Jehovah's Witnesses."

  w91 9/1 p. 29 par. 20- JW's are prophets

  Still, our efforts are never in vain. Why not? Because we are advertising Jehovah’s name and Kingdom. By our preaching and by our very presence, we are warning the wicked. (Ezekiel 33:33) ["And when it comes true—look! it must come true—they will also have to know that a prophet himself had proved to be in the midst of them."]

  w98 7/15 p.12 Beware of a Lack of Faith par.15 - JW's are prophets"Paul started his warning with the provisional clause "if you people listen to his own voice." God spoke to his people throughMoses and other prophets. Then, Jehovah spoke to them through his Son, Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 1:1, 2) Today, we have God’s complete inspired Word, the Holy Bible. We also have "the faithful and discreet slave," appointed by Jesus to provide spiritual "food at the proper time." (Matthew 24:45-47) Thus, God is still speaking."

  w99 10/1 5 "For Everything There Is an Appointed Time" - The FDS are prophets
  “For the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will not do a thing unless he has revealed his confidential matter to his servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7) ... For that purpose God has authorized a “faithful and discreet slave” to provide his people with “their [spiritual] food at the proper time.”

  w113/15 p. 30 par. 10 - JW's are prophets

  "Like the prophet of old, the Jeremiah class has been given an assignment from the Sovereign of the universe. God’s anointed servants are thus duly authorized to make pronouncements worldwide..."
