If this is true, will his relacement be GB 2.0.1?
just had my 1day assembly this weekend.
an experience given by the bethel speaker was quite troubling and shows how jw's live in constant paranoia, anxiety and they isolate themselves from normal living.. a first grade class was having a fire drill.
everyone ( except one) lined up and stood outside away fron the classroom in the grass.
And they say that was good? Jeezzz....
1 cor 10:27. if an unbeliever invites you and you want to go, eat whatever is set before you, making no inquiry on account of your conscience.. .
.
i suppose that would mean it's ok to go eat with unbelievers?.
Good.
New Living Translation
If someone who isn't a believer asks you home for dinner, accept the invitation if you want to. Eat whatever is offered to you without raising questions of conscience.
Holman Christian Standard Bible
If one of the unbelievers invites you over and you want to go, eat everything that is set before you, without raising questions of conscience.
American King James Version
If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and you be disposed to go; whatever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

last night i was watching the secret elder's video about the jw who sleeps with a worldly women and i could not stop laughing.. when i was 17 i thought that all worldly women would sleep with anyone, i remember a beautiful neighbor who i tried to kiss and she just flat out said no.
i tried twice to make out with this girl and i just could not understand why she would not say yes .
she did not have an aquarium.... .

I would like to open up a poll: How many of the ladies on this forum have an aquarium at their house???
i know this topic has been discussed before on this forum, but as it goes in jw world we need reminders.. co said in his last talk i can't remember the title in speaking about jesus, that when jesus returned to heaven he resumed his name michael.
jesus was his earthly name.. through the entire rest of the bible after his ressurection not one reference is made about this.
case in point----when jesus oh wait michael pulled saul over and talked to him, he introduced his self as jesus.
Great point The Searcher!
did i miss something?
admittedly, i haven't been keeping up the way i used to.
i just saw on jw.org a publication entitled "research guide for jehovah's witnesses".
The point is that in general terms, the R&F are lazy. They want the GB/FDS/WT tell them what to do and believe. They don't research themselves, so, even if a witness have the bound volumes, he/she will reach to the internet for this pdf because is more short-and-to-the-point.
The GB/FDS/WT knows that the average R&F do not research and does not like to read. Go to the TMS one day and hear how bad the students read. If you cant read out load, chances are you dont understand what you read.
Also, the research guide only comes in pdf and online flavors.
