  Hey I didnt catch that good one Mike!

  Also, I didnt elaborate on the 30% being uder 25. It kind of goes to show you, what some here have said, alot of JW's, are not new converts, they are just the children of JW's.

  Recent Assembly: You can be guilty of having "an apostate state of mind."

  found this on e-watchman.... http://e-jehovahs-witnesses.com/viewtopic.php?t=2911.

  i just answered a question "off the top of my head" to a question which brought to my mind something that i heard at a talk at our assembly that has "bothered" me and i am hoping for some clarification as i would never want to be accused of what this topic is about .... .

  it was a talk at our recent assembly that brought out a 'new one' for me ...or perhaps i just haven't heard of it as yet ... .

  So first they can read hearts (i.e., disfellowshipping unrepentant wrongdoers) and now they can read minds?

  Do you think the WTS will ever seriously start DA'ing faders?

  some have indicated that this might be coming.

  based mostly on the new book - some think maybe the org is positioning itself to remove all possible 'doubters' and 'inside apostates' this way.. i mean - having spent four decades watching the actions of this organization as a witness, i can see something like that happening perhaps.. service meeting announcement;.

  having had six months to renew his association actively with jehovah's witnesses, and having not been to a meeting or out in service for that same time span, we must announce that ____________ has left the organization and shown by his actions that he is no longer one of jehovah's witnesses.. the brothers and sisters need to be reiminded that he should be treated 'as a man of the nations' - full shunning is in effect!.

  Hey AFIN, why not be a dear and go ask your Presiding Overseer and report his reply back here?

  Now see, I knew somebody on this board would come through with a way to make a positive out of the above situation. Good going, SF

  Oh well, cant take the quote box off, but anyway here is a link to the latest. Gov Bush ordered an inquiry as to why Terry's husband took so long to call 911 after he discovered she had collapsed.

  I caught that 30% are under the age of 25. So they do have the congregations profiled by age. That doesn't sound like they are missing the next generation. It more sounds like they're missing the middle generation

  Exactly, and I think that's who most of us on this board are, that middle generation.

  guess Stephanie gets all the "fluffy" assignments?

  Poor Stephanie! She did put some effort into the research though, the article was way longer than I expected it to be.
