Watchtower Magazine to be Published Monthly
by slimboyfat in.
i heard from my bethel contact that the magazines are to be published monthly from 2006 and 2007. only 12 mags a year, but 46 pages each with no colour illustrations.has anyone else heard about this cut back?
i also heard there is to be a new song book in the summer so that witnesses no longer sing about "sheep and goats" and other "old light".

How long since you been out in service?
by freedom96 init must be about 13 years since i went out in service.
about 15 years since i went out a couple times a month, and about 18 years since i went at least once a week.. i just can't imagine going from door to door anymore.
but to think that we all did it for quite awhile.

I am 2 B DA'd
by meat pie inwell, not surprised, i have been telling them and others who ask that the org is hugely corrupt, apostate, blasphemers, hypocrites etc.
maybe because i told someone about the un thing and she may have told someone else, or maybe they're just spring-cleaning.
at any rate they(2 elders ) came round unannounced and beat about the bush in a pitiful way.i put them out of their misery eventually, by telling them that in no way did i consider myself a jw, nor did i believe the gb were god's mouthpiece.i said a lot more besides, i re-informed one, informed the other all about the un thing and offered him proof - no - he didn't want to see.

"to disfellowship" and is conjugations
by slimboyfat inwhat is the noun that we should properly use for the process by which a person becomes disfellowshiped?.
i have tried to find out about this because, in reading andrew holden's book about jehovah's witnesses i came across some jarring phrases, such as "john was fornicator well before his disfellowship, and continued so thereafter".
i have never heard a jehovah's witness use "disfellowship" as a noun thus, and i suspect that the witnesses andrew holden spoke with did not speak so either.

Do you know of any "baptized" JW's that committed suicide or attempted?
by booker-t ini remember one of my childhood friends was found dead and the police said he committed suicide.
i just could not believe it because my friend was a "devout" jw almost franatical about it.
now years later since i have seen both sides of the coin i am beginning to wonder if my friend did indeed kill himself.
