Agree with Morpheus. They will end up sooner rather than later doing at least one Sunday public talk per month using the broadcast. The number of qualified speakers are very limited and quite frankly, the majority range from really bad to mediocre.

Potential for new meeting?
by campaign of hate ini've mentioned it in a few threads, but i'd like to make it a thread of it's own.. i'm going to make the prediction the gb will schedule a new meeting once a month, starting in jan 2016, for watching the jw broadcasting program.
at the moment it's up to each cong to organize a viewing, but soon the gb will take over the arrangements.. i make this assumption based on the fact that they know that a substantial quantity of pubs are not tuning in every month.. by scheduling a meeting once a month, it's easier for the gb/elders/organisation to gauge how many people are watching, and to make sure everyone is fully indoctrinated with what the gb are saying.
it will also keep the rank and file busy busy busy.. if i was a cult leader, that's what i would do.

My introduction and confession
by elderINewton inwell another big bad elder here just wanting to say sorry.. i'm sorry that so many were treated like crap, and shown that god's love is not to be found around jehovah's witnesses.
i'm sorry that inadvertently i've likely taught many to judge and as such see that racism permeates every corner of the jw world, else why else would someone be of the world, or even inactive.
i'm sorry i sat in on a jc, and voted to df.

welcome and look forward to your comments. And congrats on getting your wife to wake up and fade with you. Trust me, you will have a huge wave of relief once you step down (if you haven't already). And don't be too hard on yourself, you were a cog in the wheel of a cult. -

I couldn't believe it when they put that stupid blue box on the PARKING SIGNS at the RC. Really?? JW Parking and then at both corners that stupid blue box. LOL - maybe they will change the name of the religion to jw.org. Also, every KH sign (at least in the US) has that stupid blue box. Really looks strange and cult like. -

RC musings - my impressions
by Doubting Bro inso i went to the rc this past weekend and have a few observations:.
1 - use of videos - most parts had some sort of video prop.
they ranged from awkward (an example was on friday where they showed scenes of nature without a real purpose other than god made this) to very well done.

Beth Sarim,
I think it was Sat that they specifically went on a rant about not reaching out. I believe it was the part of the symposium about following Jesus at a distance? The speaker said if you were a baptized male that was not reaching out, you were guilty of following Jesus at a distance and he inferred that you may not make it through the big A. There were also other parts sprinkled in that talked about needing men to take the lead.

A difficult yet necessary decision
by Brother Jeramy inthe past five weeks have been perhaps the most painful in my life as a witness.. some months ago a young man (i'd say in his late thirties or early forties) began attending meetings at my kingdom hall.
he had just moved to my area from another state.
he had disassociated himself from his home congregation many years back, when he was 20 years old and going through many of the typical trials and temptations most young men experience.. two of the elders met with him initially, and they later shared the details with the body of elders.

Sorry for all involved. You have to be true to yourself and I'm sure you know the consequences that you'll face. But, at the end of the day, we all have to make our own choices.

Celebrating small victories
by StarTrekAngel indon't want to get into a lot of detail but it seems like my wife is finally having some flashes of awareness.
she's got them before, but not in very touchy subjects.
she was willing to seat down with me and look over some websites talking about some very controversial subjects that i do not dare to write about at the moment.
