For those who were partakers
by mamalove inwhat made you think you were supposed to drink the wine and eat the bread?

Is it just human nature to gossip or are JW's worse? Feelings are hurt....
by mamalove init is so strange how once you distance yourself from your kingdom hall and friends, that they find it necesary to discuss and contemplate your departure and put out all kinds of statements that simply are not true.. i am licking my wounds today because some kind of nasty things were said about me to a friend of mine who is df, from her ubber righteous sister.
it was via text, so it was there to read.
the thing i can't figure out is i have nothing to do with this woman.

Why do JW's downplay older WT articles?
by mamalove ini was looking at brotherdan's thread about the two articles that really point out in the wtbs's own words that we must follow this organization, blah blah, and they are indeed a cult from reading those articles.
it made me think that i would love to show my mom and sister that, but i know the response would be "so what, that is a 40 year old magazine," it was dated 1969, and 1983 was the other article i believe.. are the jw's i know the only ones who poo poo older articles and say that thinking isn't up to date anymore, that new thinking has superceded those new articles?
even though we know that the overall thinking is the same.

one had to stay the night and the other was treated in the er.
it was extremely stressful and worrisome to say the least.

Things I have heard about California JW's
by mamalove inafter reading the two piece bikini discussion and the comment about calipornea, it reminded me of something i used to hear about the jw attitude in general there.
that it was extremely lax compared to mid west or other areas.. people were supposedly not df'd when they would most definitely been elsewhere, and more "worldy" type of dress and grooming were tolerated well.. is this correct at least in some areas?
if so, do you think it has to do with money, or the general culture there?.

Looking for online tv/movie streaming like netflix, etc.
by mamalove ini have a sub to netflix, but i think it is a rip off.
they raised their prices and i am in the market to find some kind of website with a reasonable fee charged to view movies or tv shows only.
i don't need the dvd rental anymore.

Does anyone know how "new light" comes to fruition?
by mamalove ini am curious if anyone knows the process by which new light, or revisions in beliefs actually are agreed on for presentation to the followers?.
does one member of the gb bring up something and they all talk about it and decide?
or do they get a bunch of questions in the mail and decide to re-evaluate something based on the fan mail?
