RE: female WT lawyers: It's OK as long as they wear a head covering when in the presence of a baptized male colleague and use the TMS presentation style when discussing a case.

No longer to use "house to house record" slips and "please follow up slips"!
by stuckinarut2 ina letter has just been read out indicating that effective immediately, witnesses are no longer to use the s-8 slip known as the "house to house" record slip, as well as the s-43 "please follow up" slip (usually used for foreign language people).. the letter stated that this is because of the changes in privacy laws etc that are becoming common in the world today.. i will try and get a copy of the full letter and post it asap.. .

The use of this form goes back to 1954 if memory serves me. I recall finding my old H2H forms with the names of needy souls long forgotten in the shuffle.

Lets list everything that has pagan origins!!
by song19 ini have a feeling i am going to have to explain to my jw folks why i have decided to allow my children to participate in holidays at school.
theyll probably be wondering too why i will get together with our non jw family for the holidays.. .
we know jws avoid holidays because of their pagan origins.

Saying "God bless you" when someone sneezes to keep the demunz from snatching the person's soul. (pagan)

Apog has makes excellent points on your dilemma. I only would say that as a college student, you should be able to read for the WT study, I mean, come on. I knew of a middle-aged under-educated brother who gave meeting parts while being smashed. I do not have a 4 year degree and have read for the bible study and the #1 TMS talk without any preparation. If it's fear of being in front of a large audience is the problem then look at it as "Toastmasters" preparation.
Also, you might consider actually sheading a river of tears when approaching the responsible overseer to ask for a reprieve. Try thinking of a very sad story, like a kitten being skinned alive by a Rottweiler or maybe slam a door on your hand or something, that will get the tears flowing. Play up the pity card with him, that would will get you demoted faster than than a "Sacred Heart of Jesus" tatoo. Hey, I'm just saying that with your degree under your belt, you will in time look back and see the humor of it all. Hell, there's nothing that will "qualify" you faster for spiritual privileges than a straight-day high-paying gig! I'm just saying.

Unless you are a member of an influential JW family and have privileges greater than mic handler, the elders will not attempt to check on you as they are too busy with their busy-work like talks/meeting parts, building committee projects, etc.

AM3 is married, his wife's name is Susan, btw. That's how they introduced him at our SAD.

I like AM3's style, saying: "Aw shucks everybody, it's not me saying it, it's the publications! If you got a problem, take it up with the man upstairs."

Is the WTS effectively 'pimping out' sisters?
by Simon ini can't remember the topic with the discussion about the talk where they suggested that sisters should only consider ministerial servants as potential marriage partners but think about the implications more.. are they trying to use the potential affections of sisters to enourage brothers to do more and work harder?.
isn't this a form of 'pimping out' the sisters by limiting their attention to the people contributing to them?.
it seems to cross a line to me but i guess it's not vastly different to "only marry another jw".. what do you think?.

A kind of "flirty fishing" reminiscent of the 1970's Family Cult, baby.
