HELP I need some ex-elders help for a phone conversation with my JW parents
by cyberjesus inok this is the deal: i was dfd 14 years ago, i was just planning to go back last year.
i had planned to come back with a clean conscience so i started to study and research the wt to prove to myself this was the truth, the elders had met with me to suggest me to submit a letter of reinstatement, in the same meeting i told them i had some questions that i needed help with before i was to go back.
they said they were gonna answer those questions after i was reinstated :-d so i went by myself and started doing my research.

Our Kingdom Ministry 2009 tells sick & infirm NOT to view telephone hook-up as convenient alternative to being “personally present” at KH!
by LUKEWARM ini am feeling sick after reading the question box - it's so cold and unfeeling toward those who use the telephone to listen to congregation meetings.. .
the wts desire to control their weakest members - the infirm and chronically ill - by guilting them into "putting forth the effort to be personally present " at the kingdom hall is disgusting.. .
they are heartless bastards.... ________________________________________.

Who Writes WT Study Articles?
by monkeyman inok, i have to admit that i thoroughly enjoyed the wt study yesterday nov 1 about adopting jesus' personality.. it was far from the ho hum studies that focuses on fs.. my question is..............who writes the wt study articles?
this one was definitely written by someone other than the last 50 or so articles.. so is there anyone out there who knows how these articles are submitted.
there is a famous article written back in the late 90's dealing with depression.

To Current and Former Elders
by Styxx ini wanted to say a few things to current and former elders.
it was really a post by alltimejeff on 10/1/2009 that got me thinking about this and i address a few things that he says here.
but i dont want to single him out because i really think that he is typical of many, and he did in fact apologize for his actions at the end of his post.

Will Michael Jacksons Mom be DF'd ???
by tresdecu injackson family to host first christmasmichael jackson's family is to hold christmas celebrations for the first time this year (09) - putting their own religious beliefs aside for the superstar's three children.. the jacksons were all brought up as jehovah's witnesses, a christian-based religion which does not recognise birthdays or christmas.
but the thriller hitmaker deviated from his family's belief system and always enjoyed the holiday season with prince michael, 12, paris, 11, and seven-year-old prince michael ii.
and family matriarch katherine jackson, who has full custody of the kids, is determined to put their former traditions aside in december (09) to keep the youngsters' lives as normal as possible.

Has an elder ever made a difference in your life?
by monkeyman inok, i've read a lot of horror stories out there about outrageous shepherding calls so i know they exist.
i've also been on several and received 2.. however, as an elder i thought i was pretty capable at helping people and making a difference in their lives.
i've had people tell me so over and over which was quite comforting to me after i was unceremoniously removed.. so here's my question......has anyone out there ever been the recipient of the kind of loving care from elders that made a positive difference in your life?

Please explain 'inactive'....
by wantstoleave inis being inactive just not being active in the field service?
or does it mean not attending meetings also?
for some reason i thought it only meant not going witnessing.. for instance, years ago i went to every meeting, but not on field service.
