Unity vs. Uniformity
by confusedjw inwasn't the thought that we were so unified a comforting one when you were in the congregation?
only to realize that kicking everyone out that disagrees or forcing people to act a certain way "in the name of god and the wt" produces uniformity and not unity.. there is a difference, which of course are worlds apart.. did you notice this while in?
what value do you place on unity now?

Godly Obedience in 2005
by truthseeker inyep, "godly obedience" is the theme for this years district convention.. you know the wts will be hot on obedience this year.. expect more wt articles asking for money (as obedience to jehovah), asking for more pioneers and elders, and making this a matter of obedience.. it's getting worse.. at the meeting this week, a whole 25 minutes was taken up on what to do regarding accomodation at the district convention.. brother zealous said if we're not obedient to the instructions that the faithful slave has given us, we undermine the hard work the society puts in to arrange these provisions.. godley obedience means we will attend all three days at our convention.. .
this cult makes me sick.
everything is about jehovah; jesus just does not figure in anything, unless they feel the need to quote a scripture or something.. .

Why do witnesses HAVE to use only hotels on the list for the conventions?
by truthseeker in.
does anyone know the answer to this?.
a while back i read that the society gets free rooms for its convention speakers if they agree to fill so many rooms in a hotel with dubs, but is there anything more involved?.

WT Letter about elders' sins
by IT Support insomeone recently posted a topic which included a link to a wt letter to bodies of elders.
the letter stated that if an elder confessed to having committed a serious (i.e.
disfellowshippable) sin a number of years ago, and nobody knew about it, he need not be removed.
