letter was read yesterday that the 'listen, obey' dvd (featuring sparlock) will no longer be produced starting in january, 2013 (midwest us).
the content will be available only on line at jw.org.
future releases of video or songs in the same series will also be available only online.
wasn't that the plan all along though? For it to be an online thing and the DVD was released because the new website was too slow in getting launched?

all documents of important nature such as, our kingdom ministry, boe letters, forms, or other materials will now be sent only by email or private message communications.
they will not be posted out here on the board.
if someone else wants to post them, be my guest.. .. we have no other choice in this matter, and sending out confidential documents is better when it is done privately.
How long before a WT spy signs up for an email from Atlantis and then traces it back?

so, i have it on very good authority that a co has recently been disfellowshipped in the uk.
he has just finished serving the north west london area.
i don't know any details but perhaps there is someone who does know what happened.
why assume he got naughty with a female?....just sayin'

wife and i got to talking about modern medicine...you see, i want to make 100 not out.
and according to my doctor, based on my current health and medical advances his thoughts are ''why not''.... now this got us to thinking about all the medical advances in the last 100 years.
back then they say the average life expectancy was 40 years (depending no doubt on who did the states) but the basic is that in 1912 far fewer made what we would call old age today.. got us then to thinking how many of our family and friends might not be here if the same conditions that ruled then were still applicable today.... my mother dead at 43 from breast cancer, me, dead at 10 from snake bite, wife dead in teens from massive infection, son dead at 3 from meningicocal septicemia, daughter dead in the womb from no rh vaccine, friend dead at 40 from heart virus, old couple dead years ago from cancer and heart problems...and if we thought harder many more i am sure from things even like the flu.. yep, the human condition sure has got a whole lot worse since 'satan' took over the earth!

it would be nice to know any info would be helpful..
I found quite a few on this last year...if i recall correctly i cross referenced phone numbers that several legal eagles shared that turned out to be WTBTS at two or three different adresses and variation of the same address. Perhaps others will know...i must have foubd the link thru here!
my ex bil (who is df'd for 3+ years) sent me this message saturday night:.
"...it is with a sad heart i write this.
after seeing your post concerning celebrating halloween and running into christi and her telling me that you guys were celebrating christmas with a tree and everything ... along with other postings you have made and testimony from others it is apparent you have chosen the path of apostasy.... i write this wishing that wasn't so but the fact is the fact... i wish you and your family the best in this system but i can not associate or be friends with you anymore... i am chosing to be on jehovah's and his organization's side... thanks for the friendship thru the years and may you enjoy the time left in this system... :'(".
I may have added something like:
"lets check in with each other in say, 40 years and see how much time this system has..."

i just joined a few days ago.
still in (physically, not mentally...) for family reasons... how many attendees at the kh in the same situation ?
currently living in france, wont say more on me for the moment.... .
I remember they said that everybody with monthly money transfer to the local bank account must see the accounting attendant (not sure of the name in English) to change the destination
HUH? The rank and file have automatic account transfers to the congregation?
wow
oz
wow.
i was surprised this week by calls from active jws complaining about the new magazine format, and more begging for money from the platform.. frankly i was surprized by this reaction since this is old news to jwn members.
i guess actually shuffling to the bookroom and grabbing the new "awake tracts" minus the inside cover forward ...awakened many sleepy, catatonic, bored jws who never read the things or go on the internet anyway.. any feedback from other areas?.
I think it is hilarious that I am the editor of a very small country town 'community newsletter' that has twice as many pages as those rags!

milan italy public demonstration against ostracism practiced by the watchtower.. .
two years after rome, yesterday december 1st, day by day, we were about 100 of us demonstrating on a public square in the center of milan, italy.. .
at about 10-11 a.m. many of us were already on the spot, installing our gazebo on the public square where we were granted authorization by the police and starting the distribution of about 4000 tracts to passersby in the surrounding squares, boulevards and streets exposing the watchtower for its teachings and instructions on discriminating those who decide to use their rights to walk away from this religious movement without to have to incur the ostracism imposed by the leadership.
excellant!
Sometimes we get so focused on trying to 'bring down' the watchtower or wake up JWs that we lose sight of the better battle to fight...
EDUCATE THE PUBLIC!
thankyou
