evidently the 'boys' haven't gotten all their ducks in a row before printing the book!.
they have issued another boe ltr (will have late sunday or early monday) regarding wedding procedure and scriptural freedom to remarry!.
the ltr is dated oct 12, 2010 (so if anybody has a copy already post it or send it to me and i will post it).
Sorry to go slightly off topic:
Can you imagine an elders meeting after ks10-e is so widely distributed? Every one of them suspicous of the other thinking "Were you the one who leaked it?" This has to have an impact on them on a go forward basis.
Back to topic: waiting for the LTR.

Thanks, that will help us keep all our personal copies up to date too!!
here is the new title of "shepherd the flock of god":.
1) disfellowship the flock of god .
2) lose the flock of god.
"What the FLOCK are we doing as Shepherds of God"
for me, i would go back to the day when charles taze russell snuffed it.
i'd wait for judge rutherford to turn up at the ibsa headquarters, then run him over with a steamroller, in true buster keaton styleee!.
.
Go back and not answer the door that fateful Sunday afteroon......
continuing onward into chapter two (as directed by the boe ltr dated aug 23, 2010) of "shepherding the flock of god" a publication by the non profit organizatin known as the wts of penn & ny as part of their for donation only bible educational work.. for those of interested in chapter one discussion please see: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/200524/1/ks10-chapter-one-discussion.

2) elder's meetings.
So far I get the feeling that this book is extremely dumbed down to sound bites. What happened to the extensive WT/G/OM/ references of the last KS Book? No disrespect, but it feels like it written for a four year old.
Lots of space though for all the corrections and new rules to over-rule. CO's will have a field day with their "peel-n-stick" inserts!!
I am sooooo glad I am out and don't have to face wasting my Xmas holiday going over ths crap.

MS: my thought too - I would be getting tired of rehashed RS parts. They will get to the point where they will run out - simply because most of the RS will become old light and thus wrong to talk about?
i am not trying to minimize the pain and difficulties of leaving the scam (being fortunate never to have belonged to it, in the first place), but i would like to ask people a question.
have you thought that, if you leave, your friends and family have someone out there who really understands them and could be there for you?.
on the one hand, your family and friends will shun you, that's for sure.
Yes, since our departure in Jan 2010, BIL, his wife and nephew have just recently said enough was enough. No more meetings for them.
i stopped trying to sing the songs last meeting.
it felt like a combination of chanting and stepping on a cat.
it is terrible.
If they are that good, necessary and important part of so called worship - why not have a YouTube of the GB singing the new songs? Afterall they are taking the lead.... oh, sorry, I forgot, they don't even go out in FS.
i ordered this book and read it a few years ago, and it resonated greatly with me.
i don't agree with all of it, but i haven't found many books that i agree with 100%, particularly those dealing with the bible.. i have recommended this book before on this forum for those questioning the logistics of the bible (genesis in particular) and i have just discovered that nate has offered the book now as a free pdf.
(incidentally, nate used to post here at jwd/jwn a few years ago, but that was before my time.).
Hey BabaYaga: Is that not the "Hut of BabaYaga" as your Avatar? "Pictures and An Exhibition" fan too? Original, ELP or Tomita?
i was catching up on news with a friend of mine from my old hall - a few of the elders have stepped down and some have retired.. these are men who were in their 30's during the 1980's when i was very young - now they are retiring or facing retirement.. i sometimes wonder how they feel after working all those years only to wake up and realize that their working lives are over.. do they ask themselves: what's happened?
where's armaggedon?
the day of reckoning has come - the elders who were 30 in 1980 are now 60 years old.
I was an elder at 35, even if I did not leave I doubt I would be serving today. It just got too much - dealling with adult tattle-tales, gossipers, mal du jour wobblies, and that was just the fellow elders!!
