Will they get rid of the FDS concept?
by Hermano inwhat do they need the fds concept for?
it's a weak idea, based on one scripture which is a rhetorical question.
they've already published several articles indicating that just because you are annointed doesn't mean you have any special insight, so they've already disconnected annointed from leadership.

They'll never get rid of this concept, it is a core part of their doctrine and is central to everything, that they, a group of men, were chosen by Jehovah God to command 7 million followers.
If they do away with this, the whole pyramid will come crashing down.

Brilliant video! I almost spat out my lunch on the screen when I saw the governing body saying, "we don't need no education"

Why is this saying not included in JW wedding services?
by truthseeker inso simple, yet it could have prevented so many broken marriages if someone had just said something.... .
"therefore, if any man can show any just cause why they may not lawfully be joined together let him speak now or else hereafter forever hold his peace".

Cult Life - Disposable Relationships
by cog_survivor ini've been reading a lot of the posts and agonizing with/for folks who are trying to fade or come out of the wtbs.
there seems to be this recurring theme of family still in, trying to keep from losing them.. this seems almost universal no matter the group.
there is no middle ground whatsoever.

I know exactly how this feels and it takes an unimaginable toll on me, pretending to be in for my grandmothers who are in their 80s.
It hurts like hell to lie to them, but it's either than or lose them.

No more 3-day DCs starting in 2013?
by respectful_observer inapologies if there is another recent thread on this, but i have heard from 4 different people in 3 different geographic areas (including someone who does advance work for the dcs), that beginning in 2013 the three day dc program will be replaced by a second two-day circuit assembly.
some people were passing the info along like a secret, others seemed to think that everyone already knew.. if everyone in j-dub land is already talking about this, how is it not all over this forum??.
anyway, can anyone confirm or deny?.

Truly Jehovah's chariot is running on 2 wheels.
The Society never does anything that will benefit the "friends", they are reactionary, so you can bet that they can no longer afford the expense of the yearly conventions and/or the friends are not obeying the slave's direction to go all three days and stay in the recommended hotels.
