Unfortunately I am at work and do not have access to a scanner, perhaps tonight if I get a chance.

Anointed looking a bit younger - Feb 15th WT
by The Scotsman inbeen a wee while since i have been here, holidays and stuff.. anyway, i received the new feb 15th wt last night, the one with the generation change.
they have inserted an image that is meant to represent the anointed class, it is not like the usual ones.
generally these pics would have them with gray hair looking very old, but this image "in my opinion" seems to show them a bit younger.

Hello everyone
Been a wee while since I have been here, holidays and stuff.
Anyway, I received the new Feb 15th WT last night, the one with the generation change. They have inserted an image that is meant to represent the anointed class, it is not like the usual ones. Generally these pics would have them with gray hair looking very old, but this image "in my opinion" seems to show them a bit younger.
This would make sense I suppose with the new understanding.
I was also very impressed how the org managed to sneak in this new point, a footnote at the bottom of the page, not the slightest reference to the 1995 article.

Well I finally resigned as an elder - Phew.
by The Scotsman inthats right, about 2 weeks ago i confronted the po and told him i just could not do it anymore.. i genuinely have been under alot of pressure recently with my work so i used this as the pitch.
he was not happy but i received little resistance, which suited me.
i handed him my letter last week before i went on holiday.. i have to say it is a great weight off my shoulders, no book study, meetings for ministry, talks, public talks etc etc.. i will no doubt be the subject of local congregation gossip!

How FAST can you type?
by JH intake the test and see .
i remember in high school, i was able to type at 40 words per minute after counting my errors, and they way they counted it, if i remember well, was your total words minus the errors you made to give an approximate speed.. here is the test.
it's only a fun quiz so don't be mad if i type faster than you .

it is not actually a dfing offense.

I was involved in a case where a sister (she had not been at meetings for a while) arranged a birthday party for her non witness daughter.
It went judicial, but she was not disfellowshipped.
officially it is viewed as being part of babylon the great because it is one of there "false" teachings.

Holiday Decorations Not Really Going Up Earlier
by WTWizard inwhile i was a witless, i used to hear all the time that they start putting up halloween and christmas decorations earlier every year.
they always complained that the stores were selling these items earlier every year, and that it was getting "worse" every year.. now that i am an apostate, i no longer see that.
on my way to work on columbus day weekend, i saw a grand total of three houses lit for halloween, with 18 having any decorations whatsoever.

The Scotsman
I saw a house in the south side of Glasgow with all of the decorations outside the house and hanging from the roof on October the 22nd.
I might be a fading JW - but christmas is rubbish. Colourful, yes. Good time for families, totally.
But its all about making money.

Jehovah's Witness here.
by nimzo ini have a question about my religion.
when people turn apostate, why do they seem kinda... weird.
they turn back to false teachings and their bible knowledge even proves that.

I am currently an elder and visit here regularly.... Why??? Because something is major wrong with the WTBTS.
All of the changes - flashes of light recently and just about to be published are going to make many question there faith. I was brought up in the truth and this is the first time I have ever started to question it - it all falls to pieces when you start your own research.
The fact you are here means you have questions or doubts. Its hard, oh so hard to question life long beliefs. Can I make a recommendation - Wikipedia Jehovahs WItnesses. The society post info on there, but so do others. very factual, honest look at the org. Give it a look.

@1935 - Enjoy it while you can! (New Article)
by KW13 inwhy not speak to as many witnesses as you can about 1935 being a wonderfully inspired date from jehovah and how clear it was scripturally to the society what this date obviously meant?
really get the witnesses going on about it being the right thing, how the great crowd was recognized, how the society are amazing and all that spew and then...then you wait - just make sure that conversation was memorable.. -----.
its january.

My mother has been talking about this already - "we must be so near the end now" was her conclusion.
Rank and file will embrace the change with open arms and will love it. They will view it as the latest revelation.
Only the odd one or two "thinking" people will stop to consider what it really means.
This change is huge and could be the groundwork for big change coming - 144000 becomes a symbolic number perhaps.
I just wish more would stop to reason on it - basically what JWs preached / believed for over 70 years was wrong.
