  do you think romantic relationships work better in the long run if both partners are roughly intellectual equals?.

  Can we be deleted as an appointed man, or disfellowshipped without meeting in a committee?

  so, i am genuinely wondering if the above is possible nowdays?.

  with the changes in the power structure of co's, the changes in gb directives re never questioning "jehovah's appointed channel etc", i wonder if "disciplne can be given out in absence?.

  i know that several elders in our cong have little "discussions" about my apparant slackening off, and would love to take action against me... they have tried to chat with me but that has been shot down.. so i wonder if they could just make a decision without me being present for it?

  Yeah your fate has already been sealed :)

  I remember when they met with me to say they were going to remove me, I didn't even put up a fight. I said, "OK. Great." I think they were a little surprised. I also remember how they 'wanted to help me' so I could be an MS again. I guess their idea of help is 1 shepherding call in 3 years.

  I was speaking with my brother who lives in the NYC area. His congregation is assigned to the convention at Metlife (pro football stadium) in NJ. His congregation is hosting delegates. The branch sent a letter with direction on hospitality. The branch said it is OK to have parties, get-togethers, or whatever you want to call them, at the Kingdom Hall.

  How the hell does that work after all the articles we've had telling JW's that's a bad thing that is innappropriate to do at a KH. No surprise that the GB changes their mind to suit their whims. Fucking terrible people.

  come on you fellow ex-jw's and cuban apostates, this picture on jw.org has to be another lie from the gb.

  i don't buy it!

  the cubans in my area have always said they preach in cuba, but do they really do it in the same way as in the states?.

  Electronic cigs

  are they allowed?

  can this be done if someone has had a problem with smoking in the past.

  i'm assuming that patches and gum are viewed as the same?.

  that's pretty interesting. If the e-cig has nicotine in it, that would probably be an automatic no since that would be druggery.

  If the e-cig did not have nicotine, it would probably still be a no since it could stumble people as they'd think you were actually smoking something with nicotine.

  Where Can I Find a Map Of a Congregation's Territory?

  by Space Madness in

  2. friends

  is there anywhere i can find a map of each congregations territory.

  preferably congregations in cities such as new york, philadelphia, and washington d.c. since the elder's manual and confidential letters are online i figure this has to exist somewhere as well..

  last big convention-last memorial buzz

  by scotoma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are others hearing this meme from speakers at their congregation?.

  is it a newspeak technique for instilling a sense of urgency?.

  if it is - it's more manipulative than 1975. it seems like a way of getting around over use of the word "soon", "just around the corner".. maybe after 100 years of waiting they feel they need to approach it from another angle.. i should mention that the qualifier "may" is added "this may be our last___________________ fill in the blank.. lots of wiggle room.

  Man I'd hear that all the time.

  "This convention really had some heavy information. Something big is going to happen soon."
