whether it be father's day, mother's day, christmas or even a birthday, do you actually enjoy the celebrations, the spending of $$, and all that these festivities entail?.

it's becoming more and more evident that many young jws just don't care about the wt rules anymore.

i know, i know... some of ya'll are gettin' sick of this "generation" thing... .

but for whatever reason, i had not seen this actual quote from the dc talk (that or had not paid much attention to it until now).

seeing it in print really brought home how desparate they are to try to hang on to 1914 in whatever way they can.

to be read by the co-ordinator of the body of elders at the earliest opportunity to the whole congregation, a copy of which is to be posted on the kingdom hall noticeboard and preferably local and national newspapers.. to the worldwide brotherhood of jehovah's witnesses;.

dear brothers and sisters,.

it is with a heavy 'heart of wisdom' that we address you all today.. we have thought long and hard, and some of us even prayerfully, of how to bring out this latest 'new light'.. for many years now we have taught what we thought were delightful words of truth.
