hi i want to tell my story and get advice.

i'm a single sister ( in usa) that has been baptized for 20 years.

i came from the world, so did not grow up in the truth and i have no family in the truth -- i am alone.. last year i met a brother & we did have premarital sex while we were dating.

It was then that my ex told the elders of our premaital relationship.
Not having read comments yet I will put in my "two cents" worth. Elders, like police, are NOT your friends when it comes to confessing sins. It is too late now for you buy the wisest course is to keep silent. The best you could have done was to tell the elders that HE was only accusing you as a means of retaliation, then quit talking. You would not have been lying. That is the only real reason he said anything about it. He was only interested in taking you down with him. They would have had no second witness. It was your confession that counted as the second witness to his accusation.
Now though you have the chance to get away from those oh so loving wolves. RUN!

Given that we are half way through August this 17th day of the month I would have to say "yes", we are in the last days--of August.

Any non-service car,,2 door car. Terrible looks. A Mustang, or Camaro....you're pure evil in their eyes. Riff raft. A 2 door Ford or Chev truck....you're a worthless piece of..
I know the feeling well. My old classic 426 Street Hemi 1960's Charger and my newer Ford diesel pickup. Of course when they needed something hauled they always called on me because, "we don't have away to haul it, and you have a pickup."
I learned fast how to say NO, and if they persisted to ask them what part of NO didn't they understand? The "N" or the "O".
Right before I completely turned my back on them I would always hand them a Bible when they complained about me and tell them to "Show me!" They never could for some reason. We all know why. They base their decisions on personal opinion, never on the Bible.

in this jw training video, an elder gets deleted because his daughter has "stumbled" other jw's by pursuing higher education.

the elders told me I was "disturbing the congregation"
That phrase is elder code for, "You are disturbing ME!"

Our Kingdom Ministry

my understanding was that this was the magazine regularly published for insiders only, unlike the watchtower and the awake!

looking online, it seems that the wt ceased publication of this in 2016. is it due to a name change (it seems to have changed its name several times over the years) or has it been succeeded by a new publication?

or has it ceased to be?.

his was a big announcement to all congregations in this week’s midweek meeting
I ZOOMED in to the end of the meeting just to see if it was announced. It was. The elder who announced it concluded with the comment to, "make sure to get the updated publication in order to keep up with the 'chariot' ".

Where is the bridge, and how much do you want for it? Can I pay for it with Biden-bucks? Will it span the Pacific Ocean?

@LHG - I understand what you are saying. I guess my take is that if one is fully out mentally, they may for the sake of family who are still in, occupy a seat at the KH without claiming or acting like a publisher by doing the door knocking work and no longer being counted as an active publisher. That was the way I left finally. And my take on this was molded by the time I spent doing the congregation accounts. No offense meant.

per publisher per month
Just a bit of clarification, it isn't a per seat occupied count, rather a per publisher. If you go just keep a seat warm and are no longer a publisher you are not counted.
