The paper is easily compostable. However the ink may not be fit for human consumption, as it may leach into your veggies. Best keep it for emergency rations should there ever be a toilet paper shortage.

7Tri-Forkation
by Yan Bibiyan inthis is going to be another memorial invitation thread.. before i get to the topic at hand, i want to quickly sound off on the invitation itself.
i had seen it online weeks before the jws came with a special invitation, so the content wasnt really news to me.
however, when i held it in my hand, i couldnt help but be disgusted by the joke of an invitation that flimsy small piece of paper was.. if you are going to invite strangers to the biggest celebration of your religion, please do not hand out what looks like pieces of scrap tissue paper.

Are JW women becoming a bit more bold, seems to me there is a lot of 'headship' teaching ongoing
by insearchoftruth inmy wife who is in a never ending study seems to be learning a lot about 'headship' lately, and i notice that this weeks okm shows that once again on tms night they are going to emphasize the principles of headship from the reasoning book, page 253 in the english version..

They've always had regular reviews of The Headship Principle™. The talks were usually delivered by the Elder™ or Ministerial Servant™ whose knuckles dragged closest to the floor.
It was one thing that I absolutely despised about the JW belief system. I watched how it gradually paralyzed my mother's ambitions. Of course, they tried to sugar-coat things, and make it appear that this was how relationships were meant to be. But then why did they insist on me performing to the best of my ability in school, when the best I could hope for was to be a wife and mother? Why did they want me to have a skill set so that I could support myself? What was the point of getting a decent education if I was going to be compelled to stifle it to raise children?
I am so glad to be out of that foolishness. When I see the JW women I used to know still stuck in the same ruts they were in almost 20 years ago, I shudder that had I not left the JWs, I would still be just like them.

It isn't "lying", it's Theocratic War Strategy™.
'While malicious lying is definitely condemned in the Bible, this does not mean that a person is under obligation to divulge truthful information to people who are not entitled to it. ...'Insight On The Scriptures, Volume 2, 1988 pages 244-245.

New Rumor: Downsizing Circuits/Assemblies
by metatron inheard a new rumor that:.
the borg is going to phase out big district assemblies - so they can fit 'em in assembly halls.. they will reduce the size of circuits.
they will synchronize c.o.

Assembly Halls are normally pretty booked up, particularly if they are multi-congregation use as well.
It wouldn't surprise me if this move resulted in the build of more multi-congregation Kingdom Halls/Assembly Halls. They'd pitch it such that it would spread the cost of purchasing land and construction over a larger number of publishers, making it more affordable for users.
Then the WTS would charge them all higher per capita user fees (rent) because the buildings are newer, after all.
The WTS never, ever makes huge changes of this sort unless it has a beneficial impact on their cash flow.
Follow the money, folks. Follow the money.

I like the idea of serving something less-than-substantial, and not too costly.
Boiled eggs and toast, or tuna sandwiches. Or keep a carcass from a chicken and make broth with it, then throw in some chopped vegetables (1 carrot, 1 onion, 1 potato and 1 stick of celery - kind of wilted if you have it on hand). Don't add leftover meat or noodles or rice, just broth and veggies.
Apologize profusely and say that you didn't have time to make a big meal / didn't get to the supermarket / have had to cut back your grocery budget but enjoy their company anyway. Or you could comment on how you've been researching dietary habits and are trying to get back to basics.

What's the point of going if you aren't allowed to Partake™ anyway?
For those who believe in the value of Jesus' Sacrifice™, to decline to Partake™ of the Emblems™ is tantamount to rejecting that Sacrifice™. It is blasphemy, really.
And TOTH has a good point - if Jesus' Parousia™ began in 1914, what is the point of proclaiming his death via the Memorial™?

How to change things?
Start showing up at her place at dinner time, expecting to be invited to say and don't bother helping with the clean up, and see how she likes it.

The WTS 'claims' Reg. Pios. from 2006-2011, increased 42.6%. Quite high. (While their 'claim' of increased pubs during same time was 13.7%) I wonder why??
I wonder if it has anything to do with the quota of hours being reduced, and thus being much more achievable/inclusive.
