This doesn't actually answer the question but it does add some pieces to the puzzle that seem to fit.

Just found out that my little sister is getting df'd next week. Her husband left her about a year ago got df'd and recently got a girl pregnant. My sister has had a hard time with the whole situation as you can imagine. She's made some "mistakes" along the way as she's tried to get back into the dating world, with both witnesses and non witnesses. So she told on herself a couple weeks ago and this is the help she gets. I wish I would have known she was thinking about confessing. Oh yeah and she's living with our jw parents, who have informed me that they aren't kickng her out but she'll be on a short leash. Good times in jw land.

Starting to believe in "new lite" .......
by Blttex ini'm now fully convinced that the society provide new lite!
well, at least the lite that is defined by miriam webster.
they were right all along, just had the wrong spelling.. lite- 2: diminished or lacking in substance or seriousness <litenews>; specifically : being an innocuous or unthreatening version often used postpositively <it is film noir lite james greenberg> .

Cost of new Kingdom Halls?
by Blttex ini have been told that the cost to build a new kingdom hall is $500k +.
i have a background in commercial construction and this seems pretty high to me, considering all the free labor.
that is just the cost of the building, excluding the lot price.

Congratulations! Although being 32yo I had my first birthday this year. My non JW girlfriend (now my wife) planned a whole weekend for me. I've never put much stock in birthday celebrations until I actually experienced one. It was something I'll never forget! JWs like to make it out as a self centered celebration, but my experience was not self centered at all. Rather it was a shared experience. The excitement and enjoyment i saw in her was way more important and special to me than my own sense of self importance. Not celebrating birthdays takes away an opportunity for us to make others feel special.

That's ironic timing. I just got back from Jamaica. I was there for my honeymoon and was wondering how many witnesses lived there. I would guess not very many, the culture seems to happy and fun loving to support a very big witness population.

From what I've seen, it's just you. 99% of people here go out of there way to explain things in an overly nice way, and site references. Try going to the elders and asking the same questions. Let us know how they respond if you ask for proof of what they are saying.
