TG is one of my favorite days of the year. Football, friends, good food, good drink. It's hard to beat. Most dubs in our area get together every year. I think the line that most witnesses won't cross is that they won't serve turkey on Thursday. Its usually pizza or something else. If you serve turkey it has to be on a different day. It may be hypocritical but I'm glad dubs aren't hardline on it.

Still no word on Will and Bonnie Gorham?
by humbled insome time ago this couple who had been in the circuit work disappeared--was this the greatest ever fade or what?.
they were remarkable for kindness and good sense.
and humility.

They sound like a really nice couple. Even though the org is all one big lie, a great CO and wife can be a really nice thing. I have a few that I remember fondly. I am just curious how you know that they faded. After a CO is transferred to another circuit you lose track of them. There are tons of circuits in the US.

10hour BasicPioneer
by hamsterbait inagno who was at the agm whilst posting didn't mention this.. however on a spanish website it was stated that this was mentioned about 10 am.. could it be a translation problem?
that the spanish does not literally translate into basic pioneer?
does anybody have quotes of that portion around 10 am?.

Thanks doc. I am still hoping that your reliable source is wrong. If not then I guess this May be an easy way to get removed as an MS. I would imagine anyone not willing to accept this "privilege " will be viewed as spiritually weak.

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.

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.

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.
by crazyhorse ini recently learned ttatt and it really sickens me when i sit through the meetings.

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?
