i work with a nurse who served for 2 years in the army of cyprus as is compulsory in that country.
i happened to ask about jw's and their consequential punishment for not doing it.
he laughed and stated that since 2009 they have to do it and that he personally knew several that 'served.
i support necessary military interventions now as any sensible person would. I'm neither happy or sad at their change in position for military service. I am simply sad for the hypocrisy and lack of true authority the Watchtower have over and had over so many people and their lives.
I agree with you in this. I also feel good that many JWs today don't have to go through so much to server their Jehovah.
most of us have listened to and enjoyed deborah frances white's fantasic comedy shows.. if you haven't yet heard her stuff, here it is:.

in it, she and ryan very cleverly come up with"new-light" descriptions.
The ending is amazing! "Unlock the door, and let me out". I'm going to print that in t-shirts and try to sell them outside the next assembly.
"I'm free, living in the glow of a new light".
on a ex-jw fb group this post went up in december.
been meaning to copy and paste it on here.
the op on fb said they were happy for it to be shared:.
Thanks. I'll pass this along to some people that may be interested.
satan loves his own people and hates those who do not share his views, hence only he can use shunning as a weapon.. on the contrary, god is love (agape = unconditional love), cannot have his own people.
(mathew 5:44-48).
all the accounts not in conformity with this principle originated from cleric’s pen (jeremiah 7:31; 8:8).

What is this supposed to prove or validate? Shunning family members as a way of expecting them to want to return to the JW crap is wrong and abusive. Besides, who gives a hoot about the bible anyway?

No password, I'm not sure what the point of your post is. There are plenty of JWs who are quite intelligent and overachievers, many of them in my own family. Also, we already know that the WT has made quite a few changes in the way they conduct business and allow people to do things they weren't "allowed" before.
Congratulations to Jalessa Castillo, and happy journey.
i'm just making my way through crisis of conscience for the second time and once again i am struck by the presentation of such detailed records.
letters are shown in full - copies of letters from the branch, and to the branch.
reports are quoted vebatim.
Was Ray Franz Playing The Long Game?
That sounds obscene.
saw this on another exjw site and had a good laugh.. hope you get a kick out of it too ;).

Why I have the feeling that some JWs actually may want them to exist.
i just learned that the word "trumpery" actually exists.
interesting definition:.
ˈtrəmp(ə)rē/archaic.
I guess. You can say the exact same thing about Obama, though.
many of you don't know me or won't remember me.
i left the jw's and my husband and my home last september - forging a new life in a new town.
i haven't posted here for many months, but have been reading most days.
Congratulations! 71 and FABOO!
Happy birthday.
