What is the rationale given for not listing partakers?
by Simon Morley inif i was still in this would a huge deal for me.
before leaving i was bothered that the wt was saying the number of partakers was dwindling while the facts (worldwide reports) showed otherwise.
could not get an asnwer out of my fellow elders or co as it was coming up in conversations.

Need some sage JWN advice
by Simon Morley init has been two years since my family stopped attending and being "active".
my daughter is in her 30's settled and teaching with a masters degree she got post her separation and divorce four years ago from a witness, she is remaried and happy.
we just celebrated our first xmas since joining jw in the early 80's.. my wife now has increasing bouts of extreme anger (that border on violence) directed primarily at me for wasting twenty years of her life and causing my daughter to have periodic problems with flashbacks and anxiety.

The Irony....(brother) Prince
by Simon Morley inso ("brother) prince is coming to town and he is quoted as saying that "as a baptized jehovah's witness he has put his past behind him".
on one hand he is allowed to put on such a concert that the gb states that baptized jehovah's witnesses should not go to.
would the gb frown on (brother) prince attending his own concerts?

Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Midweek Night
by Simon Morley ini notice how periodically the wt and/or awake!
portray inactive jw's as selfishly spending their time washing their ferarri's on a saturday morning or jetting off, excutive class, to cabo san lucas.... since leaving what have you done with your time?
it would be nice for new and/or lurkers see that we are not all involved in some bacchanalian activity.. i have volunteered for a couple of not-for-profit charity boards and joined a volunteer group that helps people with english and math.

Its a Year!
by Simon Morley ini know that this is not a new topic, or that important really.
however, it's now been a full year since we last attended any meetings or went out in fs.
just felt good today and jwn has been a great source of encouragement over the year.

WT Study Version Feb 2011 - Double Standard?
by Simon Morley indid anyone find the illustration on page 26 odd?
i surmised for a moment that perhaps the "brother" in the illustration was an elder and he prayed about an employment issue - we all know what he will do.
yet, would that same elder make the same pryerful decision when it came to selling a kingdom hall to say the same church and say no?

How to deal with "Whoe other than JW are preching today?"
by Simon Morley inmy bil (active dub) has begun to ask me why we are not "active" anymore.
after a few careful (non-dfing) comments and observations he asks "well who other than jw's are preaching the good news in fullfillment of matt 24:14?
i responded with the comment that billions of christ's followers worldwide, down through history for over 19 centuries have been selfless in preaching globally.
