finally awake: ADCMS - no JW social event I ever attended qualified as a party! LOL bunch of party poopers!
definition of "party" in WT Land: One O'Douls beer split 12 ways. "Get Ready For The Time of Your Life!"
Serve it with spicy Doritos and you've got the makings for a Judicial Committee.
i'm doing some research for a biography and need some help tracking down a watchtower article.. the article i need is from the life stories of jehovahs witnesses series:.
josefsson, eva: w98 6/1 28-31i believe the article is tiltled, "sustained through terrible trials," but i am not certain.. i would prefer a scan of a hard copy of the original article, but a cut and paste from a wt cd would be better than nothing.
both would be golden.. as you all no doubt know, the jw.org "archives" only go back to 2000 (did someone just say "orwell"?)..
*** w98 6/1 pp. 28-31 Sustained Through Terrible Trials ***

I think Mike and Kim ("Newly Enlightened") made that sign and hung it up for him. Pretty awesome.
can you be sexually sterilised?no, it is absolutely wrong - w59 7/1 p. 416 questions from readers.
however, it is absolutely wrong for a person to think that in order to stay free for the kingdom service and avoid family responsibilities in the way of children he is justified in getting himself sexually sterilized.. .
no, it is harmful - w61 12/1 p. 735 questions from readers.

So, the answer depends on who writes and/or edits the Watchtower or Awake that particular month & year.
Has it ever been any other way??

NOT SURE IF THIS APPLIES
Yes, it does. To everyone except Jehovah's Winesses. JWs are special and do not need to follow the same rules they demand everyone else to follow.
an aging family member the other day related this gleefully who btw claims to have his prayers answered for the most mundane things...like a ride to the recent regional convention just because he asked almighty jah for it...anywhoo.... he related that a national satellite provider wanted to charge him an early termination fee for cancelling his service..... ..well he gets on the phone and tells them he is an "old coot" who is homeless and going into an old folks home...so what do they do?.
write off the fee for.the "old coot" jw who has no trouble lying thru his teeth just to get out of a fee he agreed to pay because no doubt he knows jah would be pissed if he didnt let his yes mean yes and his no..no.... real story?
he just sold his home and is sitting on the proceeds from the sale...... so many jws actions i have seen thru the years scream they have no belief in god....well the angry delusional wt god they claim to give their devotion to.....
It would not be reasonable to expect people to be honest who are immersed in the WT culture of lies. Monkey see, monkey do.
i overheard this argument re the new tract campaign.
one elder told a publisher, to hide the tract in the mailbox if the home owner wasn't home.
the publisher was used to folding the tip of the tract, and just left a tip showing.
I thought JWs were supposed to follow the law of the land, unless it conflicts with God's law.
Wrong. JWs follow the law of the land only when it's personally convenient to do so or until it conflicts with Watchtower law. Then a JWs obedience to "Caesar" goes right out the window.
Obedience to secular authority is another WT concept that looks good on paper but has no real-world application in JW Land.

I remember getting a lecture about handing out invitations to a "get together" at the hall
You can say "party" now. Apparently WT now approves of that term since it was plastered on the KH wall in big, bold letters. When I was growing up in WT using the word "party" for any JW gathering was strictly verboten, as it was a "worldly" term.
besides 'walking briskly from door-to-door'.... what advice would fit in well to a jw.

Enjoying life is bad for your health. Don't do it! The best prevention against enjoyment is to stick closely to the Watchtower's weekly routine.
