From the talk I heard this last weekend, by the DO, it is obvious that many are "associating" with their disfellowshipped loved ones. They are disobeying the Governing Body/Faithful Slave. It's making the GB nervous.

24Through The Grapevine Report on Recent Circuit Assembly
by headisspinning ini just got a call from my 'faded' sister who still has the 'pleasure' of having contact with our jw family.. my mother called her and said that she and our dad had their circuit assembly this weekend and apparently a governing body member gave a talk... that seems very odd to me.
do governing body member usually speak at circuit assemblies?
maybe it was a branch member?.

You nailed it Flipper. They realize it, and are trying to be pre emptive. Now I wish I had made day 1.

Since there is an ongoing "dumbing down" on the literature, I suspect they don't need to have much more than a HS degree. Perhaps that's another reason to keep them anonymous, to keep it from being said that a bunch of home-schoolers or dropouts are responsible for the drivel.
Sorry to say, I think the folks on the "Writing Committee" are brilliant. They serve a purpose.

Look for the District Conventions to be big on damage control. Pre emptive discussions, demos, etc. Time is the enemy, the internet, the move from Brooklyn. I believe many are questioning, but can't go anywhere. Family, friends, business interests, networking, support, too much.

Plague of Reality
by Oceangrinder ini'm sorry to question the innocent, for one knows only what is given unto them.. i apologise in advance for broaching touchy, or ill-illuminated subjects that have caused mortal injury to myself for reasons i am yet to comprehend.
i will admit to failing in terms of receivership of jehovah's love, but by my inability to accept reality.
i like adam, and to my chagrin have tasted both good and bad.

Re Opened Mind, the brothers are not supposed to teach while conducting the Watchtower anymore. Just read the questions, and repeat this:
"Are there any other comments?"
My opinion on today's study was that it was meant for the "brothers" already attending the meetings. A subtle way to appeal to our egos, get us off our ASSes. Look at the position we have put the org in now. They have to go out and recruit men just so they can opertate the congregation.
Will probably work on some.

My patience is running out. I hate for her to go to meetings, etc., alone. I know the stigma attached to being a sister with an "un believing mate" (Eyes opened apostate), so I go to support her.
Anyway...back to the upbuilding Circuit ASSembly.

Thanks Mary. I gave up my football afternoon to hang with the wifey. Don't think I'm going to do it again. Tried so hard to not upset my girl. Couldn't hide it very well though. She looks at me sometime in the latter part of the day and says...."you ok?, you're frowning.."
