Has the GB listed the scriptures that helped them come to this change in doctrine, or is still just because they said so?

What is with the WT obsession with King David??
by BU2B init seems like at least once a month he is brought up as a good example in the study wt.
it seems like he is given more praise than jesus.
have you noticed this?

They are a bit obsessed with David, which always posed a problem for me because I never liked the guy. I couldn't understand why he was portrayed as such as outstanding faithful example. He was an adulterous murderer.

Did You Ever Hear An Elder or Bethelite's Comments That Made You Question ??
by minimus inyears ago, the society's speakers used to give many off the cuff statements.
a lot of personal opinions and questionable remarks.. anything ever stand out for you in this area?.

Would it be worse to have your child missing and his face on the side of a milk carton or to lose him spiritually and he leave the truth? I stopped listening after he asked that question.

Wow... you WERE right! The KH was to teach you how to SELL!!
by ILoveTTATT in.
as you can see from the picture, in the kingdom hall there was a board with "publishers, books, booklets," etc... aparently for the entire congregation.
not sure what the other line is, maybe it is a goal?.

How interesting! I was just sitting here thinking about my wake-up to the TTATT and how it evolved. One of the factors is 3 years ago I began working for a large corporation in a setting where sales is all that matters. I began to see the smiliarities between how the employees are treated and tracked and how the society treats the rank and file. The similiarities exist because both are large corporations seeking profit.

Were People Surprised When You Left The Witnesses?
by minimus inmine was a gradual going away.
but once it dawned on them, i think people were shocked that i left the religion i espoused from youth.. were people "in the truth" and "in the world" surprised by your departure?.

"I don't care what you think about me. I don't think about you at all." ---- Coco Chanel
That quote came to mind when I was contemplating this question. I don't think anyone is giving my fade/leaving the religion much thought other than parents and in laws. I was never close to anyone anyways. This also made me think about the times in my old hall when it took me six months to a year to realize certian people were missing. Obviously, we are all too wrapped up in our own lives to really care, myself included. And in this paticular area I am absolutely ok with it.

Need Advice about Grandparents/Blood Doctrine
by SnailsPace2 inmy in-laws are taking my little boy to a different state for small trip and the want me to create a document stating they are allowed to take him over state lines.

my husband would like for me to construct the document and include information concerning medical decisions and that they are only to be made after contacting the parents.

My husband would like for me to construct the document and include information concerning medical decisions and that they are only to be made after contacting the parents. I have no doubt the grandparents will attempt to refuse blood for my son if the issue comes. My husband and I both feel that if blood is absolutely necessary as a last resort to save our son's life we will accept.
I don't even know where to start with this. What if by chance an emergency arises and they are not able to reach me or my husband? I don't want to ban them from making ANY decisions. I have full confidence in their ability to make decisions in everything except concerning blood. So obviously I don't want any delay in the care of my son if I write the letter. So should I be specific?
Another thing to consider too is the physician will do whatever he wants and deems and necessary and has the legal right to do so because of my son's age. So should I just leave it out of the letter completely?
Any suggestions on how to word this letter?

If they are easy to take down, take them down. Sure they might be exposed to worse at school, but the girls' parents are probably trying hard to counteract what they are exposed to there and seeing that language in an adults house as humor doesn't help their efforts any. Mostly though I think it depends on the type of host you are. Are a host sensitive to your guest's feelings and don't mind making small changes to make them feel more comfortable? It's good manners for me, but I understand everyone's culture is different.

How to get through an Assembly?
by kaxozula inme just learning the truth about the truth has just made it hard to even get through a two hour meeting at the the kingdom hall.
i get so sleepy during them and i almost cannot contain it!
the last time i went to a convention, i was still an avid believer but as you can see, that has changed.

I took notes on everything I felt was an attempt at brainwashing and controlling the witnesses. Thats a lot of notes. But that recent assembly was my first one since learning the ttatt, so you can say I was "zealous" I planned on putting my notes on here.
