Interesting point yadda yadda
i agree that they could change just about anything else. I would also add the name jehovah to your list. They couldn't dump that. its too critical to their identity.

Strange situation
by Gorbatchov inhi folks,.
the rank and file is now in a strange situation.. it is clear that the jw leadership is in for a huge change.
the type / anti type change makes clear that they make a u-turn.. it's clear that with this changes the current doctrine are temporary.

Local Kingdom Hall Speakers To Be Replaced By Governing Body Video Feeds.
by donuthole inso we've seen as the current gb is getting more facetime in an effort to reach the hearts and minds of the rank and file.
this took a leap with video feeds at an open annual meeting.
the international conventions are taking this a step farther.. do you think that local speakers at kingdom halls could ever be replaced by headquarter approved video feeds?.

Coping whilst stuck in the org.

1. I totally zone out at the meetings. Having a baby helps with that.
2. I find reasons to not go out in service. Usually we end up out 2 Saturdays a month. I rarely try a door. Usually just time waste calls and break time.
3. I like to people watch at the meetings. I try to figure out if any other friends there are awake yet.

The Art of Hypocrisy - How Jehovah's Witnesses worship a symbol
by BluePill2 init has been a while since i've seen a witness, either in person or virtually.
searching for someone on facebook took me to the profile of a ministerial servant that i know.
i scrolled through his wall to see who is still around and found this gem:.

There is an infiltration of this at our hall as well. Last week the Sunday speaker had a huge jw.org badge on. It was embarrassing. i have pointed this out to my wife. She agrees that some dubs go overboard but does not agree that it is idolatry. In her mind it's just advertisement.

What will you do to celebrate Oct 2 2014?
by jwfacts inlike most people reading this, i was convinced that by 2014 the new system would 'definitely' have been operating for at least a decade.
now that i know this is not going to be the case i am going to have to think of some way to recognise 100 years of wts let downs and failed predictions.
there is no point fretting over the past so i think it will be a good time to celebrate.

Come with me, back to the 1980s--you know want to.
by FlyingHighNow ini don't know about ya'll, but i did not appreciate the 1980s enough.
i was too busy lamenting how different they were from the 1960s and 1970s to bask in and appreciate how wonderful they were.. this is 80s music, especially new wave music, and 80s fashion and culture appreciation thread.
what did you love about the 80s?

Famous Witnesses
by startingover13 ini've been doing some research about famous witnesses.
some were raised and eventually left, while others came in as adults.
they range from sports players, musicians, and entertainers.

Of course there no longer active. I wouldn't expect anyone famous to be an active dub. At least very few.

Thanks for sharing your story. Usually people in your situation get disfellowshipped. It's nice to see an example of someone who didn't. Was the apostasy talk a "marking talk"?
Congrats on getting your wife out!

Aren't Watchtower literature trolleys and stands illegal?
by jwfacts inin many places it is illegal to set up a stand and sell things in public without council approval.
so why is it that jws can set up their trolleys in busy public areas without being asked to move on?
i saw this article this morning about muslims being asked to stop handing out leaflets in parramatta, because it is illegal.

Our congregation has yet to get permission to use the cart anywhere in our territory. Therefore it is sitting idle. Someone mentioned that Meier (local bustling super market) won't allow any solicitors outside of its store. Not even Salvation Army. Supposedly if they allow one group then they have to allow all groups to have their turn.
I had an interesting discussion with an elder yesterday regarding cart work. I asked if he would do it. His response
"get to count time for sitting there and doing nothing? Sure, I'm in"
