The MS in my congregation passes the electronic forms out to us by email. It's been like that for a while now. Of course, I get them much quicker and earlier on this site ;P

i've missed quite a few meeting (it's been nice) so am unaware if any letter has been read.

Starting to believe in "new lite" .......
by Blttex ini'm now fully convinced that the society provide new lite!
well, at least the lite that is defined by miriam webster.
they were right all along, just had the wrong spelling.. lite- 2: diminished or lacking in substance or seriousness <litenews>; specifically : being an innocuous or unthreatening version often used postpositively <it is film noir lite james greenberg> .

I heard an interesting piece of information from a super-elder today
by Barrold Bonds intoday i attended the special assembly day (sad lol).
i overheard a conversation between an elder and another elder.
we'll call this guy a super elder because he's on all sorts of committees in the area.

Lol! the majority of people don't know what JWs teach other than being another religious group trying to convert people and don't celebrate holidays or take blood transfusions. I highly doubt that most even know what 1914 means beyond WW1. People won't really care as long as everyone is getting along doing their own buisness. Point out to a JW that people won't care or notice and they'll talk about the Flood and that people didn't listened Before it came.

If someone refers to the "greek scriptures" is that a sign of JW indoctrination?
by scotoma ini recently had a casual conversation at a bar on the subject of atheism.
they used the expression "greek scriptures".
i didn't pursue it but it made me wonder..

I'm a born in and I've never realized that. I've always thought of it as the New Testament and the Old Testament. Come to think of it, I didn't realize those terms were never used in the Kingdom Hall, funny.

Letters to the Body of Elders (BOE) - Change in Letterhead
by Oubliette inwithin the last few hours, two separate posters, watchtower87 and pixel, independently posted news of a april 22nd, 2014 letter to the boe regarding a change in how elders are to be appointed and deleted:.
boe - pdf - confidential 2014-04-22 adjustment in process for appointing elders and minisletter to boe: adjustment in process for appointing elders and ministerial servantswhat i found very interesting is the letterhead and the signature.
they are both from "the governing body of jehovah's witnesses" and not from "the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses.".

That's very interesting, the new heading. It does give them a more authorities sense. Maybe it's to get their name out there. To me, it looks like they're harboring more control. Cut out the DO, less people to get through. Now the Governing Body is closer to viewing over the elders. We'll just have to wait and see what happens next. The clearer reason could show up later.

What I found surprising was when he said "we're not saying its wrong to read literature publised against Jehovah's Witnesses" (7:30) what???? since when??? Another thing was when he was saying that being brilliant wasn't always a good thing (25:15) then he goes on to say that Ptolemys canon was a fraud- but thats not true. He was talking about Robert R. Newtons books "The Crimes of Ptolemy" which has problems in it and JW influences. Nothing certian about Sintuko's claim. Ironically he does a brief mention of 1975 when he was the one doing speeches on it.

Hey....where's my invitiation ???
by exwhyzee ini was in my company truck again today, pulled over to the side of the road in a neighborhood, doing some measuring and looking for some survey markers.. a group of jw's were working their way down the street toward me.
the 2 middle aged ladies were smartly dressed, one had brightly colored highly styled auburn hair and was wearing large noticeable jewlry.
the brother was late 50's hispanic also smartly dressed in a black top coat and seemed like he might be elder material.

So I got called on today...
by Thumblina inpoor sod.
i felt quite sorry for him in the end.. for context, i was brought up as a jw since i was very young.
i left 6 years ago (faded) a little before turning 30. i was on here a lot around that time but under a different profile that's no longer active.. for the past 18 months, i'm back living in the territory of the congregation i grew up in.

Woah a choice between Scientology and Jehovah'a Witnesses?? Hahaha, that made me lose all credibility for that guy. I dont think he has done enough research, either that or he's easily convinced.
