will be in black and parentheses ().
I also thought of the rendering of "loving-kindness" to be a strange way opening this article. Often it is translated with loyalty - and we know this should be on the FDS.
Also Threats and acts of terrorism could really be things who make it difficult to help others. The brother helping to fix the car must be very brave - you never know if it's not a car-bomb.
as soon as anyone knows the new releases can you post on this site please?
How about posting the badge, is it copyright protected? Would be fun to wear it at the convention ... if going there to get new publication.
on saturday may 29th, there will be a talk given at the district assembly in my area, called "walking in the path of increasing light".
i will not be able to attend this talk.
does anyone have any insight as to whether this is an announcement of some "new light"?
These talks are normally used to show how the knowledge increased during the last years / decades. Just some historical review i would guess ... i.e. boring stuff.

pinatas i read with interest the article ?the pinata - an ancient tradition?
For me it seems they definitely say "no, don't extend this to other things like birthday party or chrismas" while not stating it clearly.
Odd enough ... this clarification comes in an answer to a letter of readers! Who - apart of apostates - puts attention to this?
Before starting the fade i reported the time in about 5 minutes parts. I took the overtime for the next month and couldn't imagine that some of the brothers where cheating. But the last months i just wrote something - so the elders won't inquire
we'll be at the meeting on sunday with old jw friends (of a different congo).
it'll be the visit of the co we missed due to an apostata fest.
what is strange: i tried to prepare for the wt-study and could hardly go through the heading scripture (wonder how blondie does it every week.
I'm sure at least th CO knows of it. Two elders met me and talked about the meeting (i thought it'll be about the UN thingy i asked them) and the PO said "you know, heaven sees all"
I'm not quite sure if we are gonna tell them about our status - they both are grown up "in the truth" - so we'll see.

Did some of you ever tried to "pre-study" and how did you manage it? For me it is only some months of not attending and i have been so upset by those thoughts of intoctrination - i hardly can stand.
We do it - i hope - just to give a good (un)witness
can you imagine certain ones making it out of the religion, somehow, sometime?
?
I did it ... why not some of them?
not sure if anyone has heard this interview yet or knew of it, but here is the link:

what do you all think of the callers?
In german it is called "vorverlagerte Gewissensentscheidung" that means "concience decision made in advance" at your baptism. Whatever the WTS will decide in future to be correct you already "made your bible-based ? decision"
for what it's worth, i never did.
i just never really believed in '75 or any other time.....signed, faithless minimus
me too
I "studied" in 1988/89 just before the iron curtain falled and thought: "boh, i just did it right in time"
