you can read his article at: http://www.elihubooks.com/greg-stafford/another.htm.
his rationale and logic are most interesting.

I think Mr Stafford is about to become part of that small elite of witnesses that can get away with their eccentricities due to their fame on the outside, as with Prince and the Williams sisters.

Now that you're free from Watchtower restrictions on charitable activities (other than flogging magazines door to door ), what strange charitable foundations would you like to see?

Then I had a further problem with interpretation: I forgot the Amercian tendency to classify all lipids as "grease". Whereas here we'd say "fat" or "oil".
And I therefore interpreted "rib grease" to be something you'd rub into your chest, like DeepHeat or Vicks Vaporub!

I first read that as "...rub grease all over my mouse!" - I didn't want to ask!

At the last assembly...
by ann in Texas inat the last assembly, the circuit overseer made the comment, "people should not look for justice within the congregation.
instead, people should do what is necessary to keep the peace within the congregation.".
what is that suppose to mean?

What if the supposed wrong has nothing to do with offending an individual?
It's a matter of Dub reasoning. They have forever refused to involve police in criminal matters such as child sexual abuse because of Biblical injunctions against "taking ones brother to court". And yet in Paul's time, as there is now, there was a vast difference between dragging people before court over private monetary and business concerns (the underlying principle being that Christians should be honest and open to correction enough that there be no need to involve outsiders) and dobbing a thief or a murderer into the authorities. The Dubs don't get the distinction between torts, which are "sins" against individuals, and crimes, which are sins against the Crown/People/nation.

DC, all but gave directions to the JWD site
by ocsrf in.
i found the dc very interesting this year do to my reading of this site.
i took note that the danger of the internet was menitioned no less than three times, once with a demonstration showing a brother who found a site by a innocent search of the web on a jw subject to the very last talk, concluding remarks and final "resolution" that consisted of 10 items with number 10 staying away from dangerous sites and chat rooms.. makes you wonder what the real story is behind that much attention being given to this problem iof theirs.. oc

Darn! Then we aren't doing it right. There should be no question that it is apostate material.
Tammy
Perhaps all apostate sites should have a label certifying that" "There is no question that this site contains apostate material"?

Dub email exchange r.e. Crackdown on outside food in D.C.
by ringo5 ini for a while discounted the reports that suggested there were stern warnings against bringing in outside food and drink into the conventions.
but this email exchange from a few of my relatives concerning tim horton's coffee, which is a basic staple for the dub ministry in canada, shows that they don't mind adding any more regulations to their already extensive list!
(so far, i'm still on their email list) .

On a related note, perhaps the WTS is becoming more aggressive about enforcing this policy because they are running out of venues who are willing to allow them to refuse concession services, which would increase the cost of renting the venue.
Oh, FFS, Watchtower! Just ALLOW the concession stands to open! You seriously think that people who've had to provide everything themselves are suddenly gonna get real generous near the donation box? Well fed, content people who've had an enjoyable conference experience are FAR more likely to cough up for your cause.
Of course, Watchtower, you COULD change your policy of never paying one red cent in sales tax/GST/VAT to Uncle Sam/The Chancellor of the Exchequer/Peter Costello, and begin charging for convention food and your precious magazines. You know, like you did in the good old days when you actually had cashflow?
