So much for the light getting brighter, more like, we are just gonna back off of the light, because the light is getting darker!!!
I think the light burned out when Freddy Franz died.

New 'Worship' Book - senseless re-h...
by eyeslice inthere have been a few threads on the missing chapters in the new book, worship the only true god compared with the old united in worship book (first published 1983).
with the missing chapters you can draw your own conclusions as to why they have been omitted at least there isnt any ambiguity.. other chapters of the book are almost identical to the old, with some bits being omitted, other being re-worded and others being copied word for word.
so heres where the problems comes in.

What if I read it and get sucked back in by it? I just wont read them. But will my curiosity get the better of me?
If you start to feel like your getting sucked back in read the section on "Does god have an organization today" That should get you nausiated enough to bring you back to reality.

We need a little controversy !
by lucidentity init is always interesting to note the blasphemy and the be-littling of higher powers.
how dare you all question god?
how dare you all think that with your puny little brains you have conquered the mysteries and understandings of life?

that is where you must have faith my friend ...faith.....he needs to know if you are faithful to him..how is he going to do that?...by handing everything on a plate?...hardly !
Oh I get it now, god is not a liar he is just a prankster messing with me to test me to see if I will still have faith in him after he tells lies through his orginisation on earth. Like I said... a sick sense of humor or a liar take your pick.
How many times does the boy have to cry wolf before you don't have faith in him anymore? god is such a rascal!

The light does get brighter as Jehovah reveals things to us as he sees fit.
Was it just by chance the Jehovah did not see it fit to reveal his new light on the generation since 1914 until the time for that generation ran out? That would make him a liar for 80 years, or a god with some sick sense of humor.

Hello Crownboy
This is the first year I have not attended a DC in 35 years, sounds like I didn't miss much, same crap from the year before. Thanks for the update, I don't feel like I missed anything now. ; )
Yes make the most of your youth, don't waist it in a cult.
And why did God's son Jesus wait until he was age 30 to get baptised? I thought JW's were christains.

Wedding ceremonies outside the kingdom hall
by Stealth ini was talking with my sister jw this past week and she told me that in her congregation they now have a new rule that for a ms or elder to perform a marriage outside of the kingdom hall, like in someones private home or in a park it now requires the approval of the entire elder body.
i can remember many marriages that were not allowed in the kh, yet you could always find an elder or ms who was related or easy going enough that would agree to perform the marriage out side of the kh.
this was the case in my marriage since my soon to be spouse was not yet baptized they would not do it at the kh, so my bil ms performed the wedding at a local hotel.

: I was under the impression that you're a "bad witness" if you don't get married in the KH and can.....maybe the rules have changed?
I don't think this is ture.... I have a relative who was recently married outside of the KH just because they wanted it to be small, mainly family and close friends. If they were to have it at the KH then it is assumed that everyone can attend since the KH is a public building. Both parties were baptised in good standing, and the grooms father was the PO in the cong. So I don't think that would always apply.
This could be a local ruling if one of the elders married someone who the others think they should not have so they are just going to tighten the control a bit. Just a guess.
