what 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.
dear randall.

here is the daniel of brazil (former bethel).. this week at the forum of former jehovah's witnesses had an interesting news!
Maybe they'll announce that JR Brown is really Jesus

maybe they're just going to say "we're too old to do this anymore, let's just quit"

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

i'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.
apologies 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?.
Lol at Outlaw's picture.
Is the first row still for baptismal candidates? :)

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.
it's been almost ten years since bethany hughes died - ten long years - and her father has fought tooth and nail to bring justice for his daughter.. it would be nice if we could have some sort of memorial for her, perhaps an online book of remembrance..

hi everyone, i am curious to the stance and opinions of those who are in the know.
my jw partner (we are seperated) applied for and got a job in a hospital working as a phlebotomist,.. odd i thought at first.
as i am aware they collect blood samples and deliver blood to wards for a sister (uk senior nurse term) for administration to patients.
I know a brother who worked as a nurse and refused to administer any blood transfusion. He asked to be transferred to another department. One can't help but think that if you train as a nurse, you will encouter some "conscience matters" along the way.
