question on memorial for Research Lady
by isaacaustin inhi rick and inez.... i was just curious if you guys and the gang ever thought about peacefully and quietly attending the memorial, (with the intent of partaking)...you have a pretty sizeable group.
would the elders ask you all to leave and call the police if you did not leave?
bear in mind there could be visitors so this could be sticky and undesireable to have to call in the police.. thoughts?.

More on the Public April Fool's Issue (WT 4-1-09)
by studier innot only did the public watchtower issue attempt to screw with educate those who believe in being born again, but their preach to teach your children article (pg 24-25) also reinforced the idea of keeping away from those who aren't jws worship false gods.
reminds me of their recent meanderings in their april study edition, only this one has been dubbed down simplified to brain wash teach the children.
a small box on the bottom of pg 29 relates the catholic observence of lent to pagan practices.. i'm not any good at a blondie type rehash, but this issue makes me wish i was.. for those who are interested in the parts of this issue that were not already posted and do not have a copy of their own, i scanned the issue in its entirety and put in a searchable pdf format.. http://www.sendspace.com/file/0amdvy.

Scriptures that fit the GB to a tee
by isaacaustin inmatt 15:8-9. this people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.
but in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.. matt 23:2-6. saying, the scribes and the pharisees sit in moses' seat: all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that] observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
for they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay [them] on men's shoulders; but they [themselves] will not move them with one of their fingers.

12 ex-JWs at church yesterday...
by passwordprotected inas reported elsewhere on the forum, there were 12 ex-jws at our baptism service yesterday.
twelve.. it was quite an experience to hear about an ex-jw who had moved to another part of the country and had written down 150 names of jws in the area of glasgow she was originally from and had started praying for all those names last summer.
two of the people on her list were at the church yesterday, with their wives and children.

Estimating Our Influence
by metatron inin regard to a recent watchtower article on shunning 'apostates', i wonder if we could create an estimate of our collective influence.
how many active witnesses secretly go to this site or others?.
more importantly, how many witnesses pass along information that was revealed here?.

MEMORIAL SHOCK!!!!
by african GB Member inlast year in my cong (well it's not really "my cong" as i'm just "in" for the sake of family) we had a new "partaker of the emblems".
it came as a shock because this man was only baptized in 2005.. his wife has been a dub from birth.. he was 63 when he got baptized, took "auxilliary" pioneer after 1 month...became a full-time pioneer after a year....became ms after 2years...made an elder 6 months later.....2008 he got "anointed"....we were all surprised at the amount of time he took to climb the jw corporate ladder....rumours are that he donated a car to our po when he (po) lost his job, and some other favours( this man is wealthy).... .
i'm looking forward to be "just an observer" at this year's memorial in my cong (i am thinking of partaking myself, but i sure would rather not,the "bread" is tasteless and the wine is of poor quality,...i don't wanna throw out at the ms serving the emblems)..... back to that man,...how long would it take him to become a gb member?.
