I was an active JWS during the 60's and 70's and I have to say I think things were a bit more looser and open back then as far JWS being socially active.
I dated girls without chaperones, we went dancing at night clubs, there were parties all the time, especially during assembly time, not a word was spoken.
I here things are quite different now days in JW land.
so alec baldwin shot a woman dead on set and seriously injured another man.. what do we put this down as?
a tragic accident?
maybe ... except that implies no one was to blame.. the more you find out, the more it seems that this was due to negligence and lack of attention to safety.
Funny how everything now days has to have some kind political ideology attached to it.
What if a well known celebrity who was a staunch right wing republican did this while working on a movie set, would they be labeled in the same manner ?

Strange and bit sad for all the people involved including Alec Baldwin.
The big question I'm sure most people would want to know is why was a live /hot gun with real ammo even on the set ?
A few people involved including Alec Baldwin could be found negligent.
I wouldn't say JWS are an all out party poopers, I've been to nice weddings where there was good music, food and wine there.
There were outings where we used to do such things like skiing trips, hiking, travel etc.
If meaning there was no smoking, drug taking or sex in a back room happening, well I guess that might be a personal opinion about what is having a good party.
JWS are many times hypocrites who voice out about others people's transgressions, acts of unrighteousness by worldly non-JWS but then the next day they are doing their own personals ills.
ie. I remember an elder giving a talk about all the sexual immorality in today's social behavior, a couple months down the road I hear he got DFed for adultery.

yes, that is how they want people to esteem the magazine.
they believe it is the unique mouthpiece of god.
The men of the WTS have gone beyond what is written in the bible many times, their words are even above Jesus's words in preaching his Gospel to all mankind.
They have even inserted a personal vow of loyalty to them when a person gets baptized as a JWs, which again is not inline with scripture in how the first century Christians got baptized.
next years memorial article focuses on the two class system that they promote.. interestingly, they mention how the anointed are in two covenants.
the new covenant and the kingdom covenant.
they claim that both of these covenants opened up the way for a small number to become kings and priests in heaven.
The persistent problem with the WTS/Jworg. GB men is that many of their doctrines are not supported in the bible, but then again that's the reason why they discourage people to read the bible on its own.
True and honest interpretation has to come from them and them alone.

When you really think about it the leaders of the WTS (GB) have always scripted out their own glorification and power.
It has worked for them for over 100 years now, so why stop if keeps them in power as designated earthly kings ?
More importance for themselves than Jesus Christ and the importance and adherence to his words.
people you think gb going against holy spirit when they opening up kingdom halls again?
clearly this is not a arrangement that's being bless anymore.
there's must be s reason for that.
