WTS publication: Mankind's Search for God
by Gorbatchov infriends,.
at the end of the 80's the wts published "mankind's search for god", about the global mainstream religion's.. what's your opinion about this publication?.
i think it was written for use on the weekly bookstudy, there were questions for all paragraphs.. after the publication it was never used at the bookstudy, and it was only rarely used in the congregation.. .

Jehovahs Witness History ?
by exjw2814 ini understand that many jehovahs witnesses don't know the history of their own beleifs.
but, what i don't understand is that they always say "god always had an organization on earth.
"they simply just talk about how they use to be called "bible students" back in their early days.

Question about disfellowshipping/disassociation
by TweetieBird inif someone sends an email or text to an elder telling them that they are involved in a wrongdoing and not planning on stopping and then does not respond to reply emails or text messages from that elder, what will happen?
can the elders announce at a meeting that so and so is no longer a jw or do they have to inform them first?
i have a friend that did this and 2 elders came by her work to see her but she wasn't there, then they tried to call her at work but she told her co-workers to tell them that she was in a meeting.

Minors going door-to-door
by doublelife ini just went to the silentlambs website and there is a link to criminalcheck.com where you can find registered sex offenders by zip code.
so i typed in the zip code of the territory from my old congregation and i was surprised at how many people popped up.
there was three pages of names and on almost all of those names i recognized the street address as one that i went door-to-door on.

I know Christmas is "wrong", but for god's sakes, what's so "wrong" about New Near's day?
by african GB Member inthis time of the year is the most stressful for jw's(especially progressive jws) as they have to explain to non-jws why they don't celebrate christmas and new year's days.. i can understand the religious implications of christmas day, but what about new years?
what is so wrong about looking forward to new beginings?
was new year celebration also started by "christendom/ babylon the great"?
