This drives me crazy
by JWinprotest ini can't stand it when they say certain things are up to your conscience and they tell the rest of the cong not to judge your brother for a decision they've made based on their conscience, and then the elders will take away your priveleages based on that same decision.
by taking away your priveleages are they not demonstrating to everyone that the decision you made is wrong?.
sorry i just needed to vent after this weeks bookstudy on blood fractions.

Google Street View of Bethal
by JWinprotest ini was fooling around with the street view on google maps and discovered that you can navigate pretty much throughout the entire grounds at bethal in georgetown ontario.
looks like all the roads are named and registered with the city, but it's still private property so the wts would have to give permission to do so.
i just thought it was odd that's all.. and yes, i am incredibly bored and i have nothing else better to do..

Has anyone else encountered this?
by JWinprotest inmy mil, who is part of a portuguese speaking congregation, told my wife that they began giving everyone an english copy of the internal study version of the wt along with their portuguese copy.
she's worried because she thinks they are planing to eventually move them to an english congregation, like they have done with other languages in the area already.
i think there might be a real lack of brothers to take the lead in these foreign congs and the ones they do have are aging rapidly.

The Gong Show
by JWinprotest ini was watching youtube clips last night of old game shows, the gong show was one of them.
made me think how wonderful it would be if the meetings had a similar theme........don't like the speaker?
get up and smash the gong.

In your own thoughts.....
by JWinprotest indon't you just love watchtower study questions that start by saying "in your own thoughts....." or "how do you feel about....", and then they still give you the answer in the paragraph, and the audience of course always gives back the approved answer from the magazine rather than expressing their own thoughts.
this used to irk me as a kid as well..

Honduras plane crash - So much for divine protection
by JWinprotest innot sure if anyone has started a thread on this.
here's an article on the plane crash in honduras.
the article mentions that the man from toronto that died moved to honduras along with his wife two years ago and joined other jehovah's witnesses to teach bible studies.. when tragedies fall on those leading immoral lives they are very quick to point out that perhaps it was a result of losing god's divine protection.

I know it's not good to stereotype, but come on!!
by JWinprotest inyesterday's bookstudy was about the value of hard work, and on page 175 they have 3 pictures of good jw examples who are working hard.. one picture is of a woman working in an office environment, and i think it's an office at bethel.
the second is of a woman in africa carrying a bundle of sticks on her head.
and the third is of a brother, get this........washing windows!!!!
