The latest conventions and the new shunning policy?
by Lynnie inso my cousins in seattle have had their regional convention i believe (at the tacoma dome).
my cousin has a sister that has been inactive for 40 years but doesn't ever speak against the jw's but still inactive nonetheless.
so this weekend they are going out on his cousin's boat, her husband is a deacon in the local episcopalian church.

How long do JW study the bible with someone? Until baptism?
by Lynnie ini have a 35 year old cousin who got baptized last year after rejecting the jw since she was 13. not sure what happened to change her mind, i suspect it's all about family since her dad is an elder and her two sisters are very much in.
her oldest sister is married to a middle management guy in bethel.
so she studied for about 2 years until she decided to get baptised.

Assembly in Seattle this weekend?
by Lynnie indoes anyone know about an assembly or convention or whatever they call it now in the seattle-tacoma area in the last couple of weeks?
i have a ditzy cousin who posts on fb that the assembly was "promoting peace and the sun.
i'm sure they were really promoting money and the gb but my cousin is so newly brainwashed she has her own twist on everything.

JW's and the care of the elderly
by Lynnie ini've been df'd for 35 years and my uber pioneer mother is getting on in years, 84 to be exact and starting to have signs of dementia and the social worker is worried that she can't be left alone at all anymore.
she just had her second hip replaced and is in rehab.
my uber elder cousin is the power of attorney since my mom was told i couldn't be trusted since i'm df'd.

JW.org broadcasting studio
by Lynnie inapparently the very cool thing to do now is when you go to bethel you go and have your picture taken in the studio!
my uber elder cousin and his wife just did that back in ny.
it's probably not for everyone, my cousin's daughter and son in law are very "high up" in the org in "finance" and that's how they probably got to do it.

Jehovah's Witnesses and "winter decorations"
by Lynnie inso how many jw's do you know that do "winter decorations" instead of "holiday decorations"?
i have a cousin that is upbaptized but very much on board with the jw's but somehow snowmen and pine boughs are okay to decorate the house as long as there is no tree.
have anyone of you heard or seent his practice?
