Interesting statistic
by The Quiet One injust looking at latest yearbook and noticed something about the worldwide report (2010)... only 19 countries/lands reported an increase of 10% or more, and only 3 of those had 1,000+ publishers in 2009 (still under 2000 publishers in those 3 lands..) .
any thoughts?.

Do You Think It Is Wrong To Stereotype?
by minimus ini know we are supposed to be politically correct but i don't always feel that this is warranted.. i do think that certain things might be generally true and could be viewed as stereotyping.
for example, if i see a young person driving a car very slowly, i might think that they are texting and driving (or else are asian).
now that might not have sounded proper, but i do think it's generally true, from my experience driving in the city.. if i see a "butchy" looking woman, i generally assume the woman is gay.

Why are men not allowed to do the bible study parts at the service meeting?
by garbonzo ini know why they do it, because the women would complain, but it's not logical, the men need to be trained on how to conduct a bible study with a student, also.
if it doesn't matter, why are the sisters doing it?
just to give them something to do?

untitled
by The Quiet One inparagraph 2: if we are to progress to christian maturity, we must learn to distinguish right from wrong and then make decisions that reflect our own convictions, not those of someone else.
(romans 12:1,2)(hebrews 5:14) paragraph 11: elders make decisions that affect the congregation.
however, they make sure that they "do not go beyond the things that are written" in god's word.

Proverbs 3: 5-6
by sleepingbeauty in.
trust in jehovah with all your heart, and do not lean upon your own understanding, in all your ways take notice of him & he will make your paths straight... prov 3:5/6.
this scripture is the scripture that made me blindly accept everything .... because it specified that i not lean upon my own understanding i did exactly that.. is there any particular scripture that you took to heart that kept you blind?.

Mocking of the Organization from JWs
by NomadSoul inthis is what my aunt told me.. once an elder at the closing of the meeting said this about the revised reasoning book with a sarcastic voice.
"brothers and sisters don't forget to get your copy of the new reasoning book, it has over two hundred revisions!"..
my aunt swears he said it in a sarcastic mocking tone.. i thought it was funny so i had to ask if anybody else had similar stories..
