The End of Circuit Overseers
by scotsman inis indeed apparently nigh as another poster predicted along with the end of the weekly bs.
not sure when this should take place but i'm reliably informed by a family member that one of the uk's overseers was talking about it fairly recently.
reduced to weekend visits by an outside but local elder instead.. i have no further info..

Why JWs should soft-pedal the "Divine Name"
by Open mind inthis is prompted by reniaa who claims that one of the things that jws have right is the name jehovah.. you know how if you're trying to convert someone to be a jw, you put your best foot forward and try to keep the controversial stuff that might "stumble" them on the back burner?
(like say, mother's day or when i was a kid, pinatas?
) well, that's how i categorize the whole topic of the divine name.

The murderers are right!
by Fadeout inover the years there have been a few news stories about some "crazed" jw man or woman that kills their family because they don't want them to be destroyed at armageddon..
wts teaching is that anyone who dies in this system, if not irredeemably evil (hitler), will be resurrected in the new system.
wts teaching is also that those who are not evil but merely indifferent, disfellowshipped, children having unbelieving parents, etc., will be destroyed very soon, and that this destruction is permanent, with no hope of resurrection..

"Even if it isn't true" - how many of you heard this one recently?
by hamsterbait ini remember first hearing it after the generation change of 95.. a sister answered up at the wt and said "even if armageddon isn't coming, its still the best way to live.".
i have heard others say: "even if it isn't true, it's still the best way of life.".
my mother said it a few weeks ago!

Single Ministerial Servants and Elders...
by B_Deserter ini'm sure this has been touched on before, but i just thought about it tonight.
i was thinking about the appointment of ministerial servants (deacons) and elders (bishops) in the kingdom hall.
the watchtower society runs down the list of requirements in acts, that they must be good examples, pure, etc.
