Governing Body two-thirds majority
by wannabefree ini believe current count is 9 gb, so that makes 6 out of 9 for it to be so?.
how about two-thirds when all 10,800 or so are given a say?.

All Aircraft grounded in the UK, France, Holland and Denmark
by llbh inbecause of a large plume of dust being blown to the uk by a volcanic eruption in iceland all aircraft in the uk and beyond have been grounded, no airplanes are flying at all, they will not be flying till tommorow at the earliest , and then maybe not.
apparently the dust can cause engines to stall, which has happened before.. heathrow is the busiest international airport in the world, and second busiest overall, the dislocation of passengers all over the world is massive.. .

Gambling on Armageddon?
by Cold Steel inever since the millerites, many people have been gambling on armageddon and the return of christ.. the conventional view is that god will once again gather his people into the lands of their inheritance from the four corners of the earth, and that once established, the jewish state will build a temple.
a great gentile leader (called "gog" by ezekiel) will then bring a vast army down upon jerusalem and will eventually be destroyed by the returning christ.
according to zachariah, the lord will cause a great earthquake to split the mount of olives, and when the jews first behold their lord, they will ask about the wounds in his hands.

Question about DF'ing
by JerkhovahsWitless ini have a relative who was df'ed in one congregation and later moved to another congregation in another state.
the old congregation, whose elders were friends with my relative's ex-spouse, refused to reinstate my relative for a few years, (the ex-spouse continually had a hand in their decision).
finally, the new congo contacted bethel and eventually the old congo allowed the reinstatement.

Very Accurate and Creative (Not)
by Kum Vulcan inyou must have been given the example below in your dealings with jws and blood.
at least i have been told the same stupid thing over and over again by every jw, i've had any discussion on the topic with and by any speaker on the platform when it came to the "abstaining" from blood.. here it goes: "if your doctor told you to abstain from alcohol and you had it injected in your veins, didi you really follow your doctor's advice?
(a self -righteous "i gotcha now" look follows....).

Ex JW wiki
by mindmelda ini don't know if there is one, but we need our own version of wiki...i'll start, and you all can add to it if you want.. elder: a guy who has nothing better to do with his life when he's not being a janitor, middle management or a construction worker than pick on you so he can polish the wts's apple.. ministerial servant: guy who wants to be an elder so he can pick on people, because he's tired of mostly just brown-nosing the elders.. pioneer: person who volunteers most of the time they should be out getting a better paying job harassing people with wts literature so jehovah will love them more and so that the rest of the congregation will want to be part of their spiritually elitest clique.. temporary pioneer: someone who can't quite give enough time to be a pioneer because they have a mortgage, kids and a decent job, so they guilt themselves into playing pioneer once or twice a year so they can get one more step up in the jehovah's witnesses caste system.. publisher: low man on the spiritual totem pole who can barely make time to get ten hours a month because he wants to retire someday, but he does it anyway so that the elders won't come by and "encourage" him with a visit that involves making him feel like crap for not being a pioneer.. fader: someone who sneaks away from the wts while the getting is good but does it in such a way that they may not have to experience shunning.. disfellowshipped: shunning, what the wts does to people who dare to tell them where to get off or who quit believing or following their insane rules.. disassociated: people who don't wait for the wts to shun them before they tell them where to get off.. elderette: wife of a janitor who thinks she can assume the role of elder when her husband isn't doing what she tells him to do to encourage the flock...see:wifely submission.. wifely submission: a myth perpetrated by jehovah's witnesses that makes men believe that their wives have to respect them even when they're being stupid or nasty, and largely ignored by many married female witnesses who know better.. three fold cord: unfortunately not a description of a mildly kinky sexual act, but believing that jehovah is the third party in your marriage..okay, maybe that is a little kinky after all.. .
