Welcome, Happier than Ever! I can really identify with your 'handle'... Glad to have you on board! 
I'm the "Smileys' nut" in case you can't tell... 
(Are smileys approved for use by Christians??? ) Good thing I'm Pagan...
Aaaand not to 'hijack' this thread - too much - but here's a little something for 'asilentone' and 'mraimondi'...
TROOOLLLLss!
Get 'em!!

GASP! This looks like a - DEMONIC - BIRTHDAY PartY!!! I'm stumbled!! I'm stumbled!!
But, yeah, as several others stated, if it's happy, it must be from SATAN - and it probably distracts you from serving Jehovah [shuddering in fear at the thought of dying at Armageddon] by going out in field service [tricking other people into joining so THEY'LL soon be shuddering in fear at the thought of dying at Armageddon...] and giving all their money to the WTBTS!!
I am SO GLAD I'm outta there! Zid 
we are happy to inform you of some rule changes on this forum.
we do not want to give the impression they are rules, so we will use the term guidelines.
at present, some are using this forum to express their own opinion.
"Other questions have come to the branch asking about which numbers are issued and how this is chosen. Naturally, those at the branch (and esp the GB) have the best numbers, they are all #1. After that, it doesn't really matter. We would like to take this opportunity to remind elde(ettes) not to run ahead of the branch and assign numbers as names without first consulting the CO. If there is a particularly difficult publisher who insists on a particular number, please write a brief letter explaining the situation, along with your observations and recommendations...."
Hey, AllTimeJeff, is the number "666" still available?? Dibs! if it is... Zid

when i attended a support-group meeting in february [2009], someone in the group brought a wtbts magazine with a very odd "questions from readers" on the back.
[may have been the jw version of feb. 2009 watchtower??].
the "questions from readers" was something to the effect of "are jehovah's witnesses allowed to eat fats?
Hm. Well, thanks to all for your assitance. None of those articles match the one I read - I'm really kicking myself now for not looking more closely at the issue. It was a 'real' Watchtower, as I've marked the "Witchtower" website as a favorite and have been reading his versions - hilarious!!
Did anyone happen to check the January 2009, February 2009, March 2009, and April 2009 Watchtowers?? How many different issues are being printed monthly, now?? Just the two?? Non-JW {{'worldly'}}, and JW versions??
WTWizard - EXACTLY!!! If I do ever find that blasted 'QFR', I'll post it alongside the December 2008 that says Witnesses CAN eat fats - wouldn't be the first time the WTBTS flip-flopped on an issue.... Or ENDANGERED their R&F members' lives with IDIOTIC EDICTS!!
Again, 
to EVERYone for your help!! Zid

Seriously, guys, I read it with my own eyes. Wish I'd grabbed it and made a copy of it right then and there - had no idea it would be this difficult to find again! The guy who brought it to the support group (not a JW) borrowed it or swiped it from his JW wife - I've tried asking him for it, but he's got too much on his mind to look for that minor "QFR" right now.
Just out of curiosity, WHERE do "Questions From Readers" usually appear?? Thanks! Zid

Could someone please help me? When I attended a support-group meeting in February [2009], someone in the group brought a WTBTS magazine with a very odd "Questions From Readers" on the back. [May have been the JW version of Feb. 2009 Watchtower??]
The "Questions From Readers" was something to the effect of "Are Jehovah's Witnesses Allowed to Eat Fats?" and the response was "NO!" - in effect, no animal fats and no vegetable fats either.
It may have been a 2008 issue?? It may have been January, or February, or March, or April 2009 Watchtower??? Did this "QFR" catch anyone else's eye? If so, could you provide me with a scan? [I still can't believe it...]
Thanks! Zid
