Att: ex-Elders and Their Kids: Did You Really Have a Regular Family Study?
by Room 215 infriends, this is a sort of poll, directed mainly at -- but not limited to --ex-elders, their wives and kids.
it was my impression that, with the possible exception of meaningful personal prayer, the other aspect of the idealized, exemplary jw lifestyle that was portrayed at the assemblies and at meetings-- the regular, weekly family bible study -- was the one most neglected.
it seemed to be something the ``other" spiritual family did and the one thing we constantly agreed we ``needed to work on.".

Announcing that Elders are no longer Elders
by Spudinator inin the past year or so a local congregation has had several announcements that "so-and-so is no longer serving as an elder.".
one of these elders has served in the watchtower organization since the 1940's.
one thing apparent is the "organization's" lack of recognition and/or appreciation for its own.

Reformers repeat mistake....
by mizpah ini'm reading a fascinating book, god's best seller, by brian moynahan.
in it he documents how a few men like wycliff and tyndale risked their lives to make the bible available to the common people.
the catholic church violently opposed these efforts and persecuted all who were involved in the translating, publishing and distributing the scriptures.
