good morning everybody!!.
ok ive heard only "activejws in good standing" can attend, what if youre irreguar?
how are they enforcing this?
invite only for us. Only well established spiritually mature ones invited.. (UK)
Some of my relatives and quite a few from our cong were there this afternoon, a few are attending as attendants tomorrow too so the meeting attendance locally will be very low.
(good oh, it means I can sneak a few more 'we used to believe' comments in at the WT!)
so these last few wts have definitely eroded my wife's faith in the org.
she is definitely seeing the bs, and i even overheard her talking openly about it to a family member.
good for her!.
Data-dog - You da man.
awesome logic.
i have recently joined the site.
i was just appointed an elder this summer.
i started discovering the ttatt (the truth about the truth) last year after putting a few things together myself concerning the leadership and then doing some research online.. i really enjoyed jwfacts.com, jwsurvey, and others.
Hello there chappie! I hope your wife and family come with you. I stepped down a few years ago, I woke up properly this year, now I'm working out how to proceed. Slowly, I think that's the key word. I wish you every good fortune, myself too. Come on wifey, wake up! Wifeys everywhere...
from relatives and contacts in 2 states, there have been no bibles available for a couple months.
one person mentioned to me as well about supposed quotes in the magazines from other bibles.
rumors are that they will announce a new bible, or possibly tell everyone to buy a bible from another place that they approve of.
My two cents? If there is a new bible it'll be only SLIGHTLY revised, no major doctrinal stuff, but enough to give a little wiggle room for the future, and it'll be bound with an updated reasoning book..
awful car crash tv.
teenagers on vacation getting drunk having sex etc.
parents secretly watch.

Wow BOC, this is a GREAT thread, I'm in a very similar situation to you in that those TWO EXACT things have been brought up by my missus too in defense of the troof.
The responses posted above are REALLY interesting, thanks to all for your efforts, you're not just helping BOC you know!
told my husband to put a muzzle on my mouth over the blood dogma.
we all were driving around in field service when the topic of "which fragments would you take if you were in a car accident or cut yourself badly".
said his choice is a personal one, another sister with chronic health problems said she had no problem with the governing body's new light on taking various fragments.
stunning logic. Simples...
i am a newbie to ttatt.
i have been reading your posts for a few months and joined in a few times.
thank you so much for taking the time to write you experiences it really helps us newly awakened ones.. so here is my story........ my name is 70wksfyrs and me and my kids are victims of domestic violence at the hands of a so called jw.
Not been there matey, I hope it never comes to that for me.
Clearly they're not guided by HS, and equally clearly you're doing the right thing for you, I know not everyone would be able to stomach kowtowing to these increasingly spurious demands..
Hope you're successful bud, keep pretending!
( apologies for the large space at the top i don't quite know why .
i sat through the wt study that dealt with all the new understanding.. the conductor started by by saying .
well we wont spend too much time on what we used to believe, we will consider what we believe now.. i took a look round to see how the members of the congregation were reacting to this.. nothing.... .
Ours said EXACTLY the same thing, "we won't spend much time on what we USED to believe", with the caveat that he didn't want to get us confused and go home remembering the wrong thing!
I had a great answer lined up about the old light, but he skimmed over it dead quickly..
