Devouring the Forbidden Fruit - Higher Education
by cappytan inwell, i told my wife over the weekend i was going to go back school to finish my degree.
she is 100% supportive of it!
apparently she doesn't think higher education is so evil either.. since my former major was computer programming and that was in the late 1990's, i was told i'd have to retake a bunch of classes since times have changed.

Congratulations. You can do pretty much anything related to education as long as you don't promote education to the congregation. I was an elder going to graduate school. I never told anyone and if anyone asked I simply said that my employer required me to go to school - I never entered into a discussion and certainly not a debate. -

Definition of "Active Publisher" depends on the context
by Simon ini don't know what the current definitive rule is that determines whether someone is viewed as an "active publisher" or not.
i've seen comments suggesting that it is reporting a certain minimum number of hours per month which seems reasonable.. what is interesting is how they change the definition of what an active publisher is based on the context.
normally, you are never doing enough, however much you are doing, and too little or some missed reporting will get you a talking to.. but note how they class 'active' in one of the latest body of elders letters:.

That seems fairly relaxed doesn't it? Pop a field service report entry in for an hour once every six months and you are an "active publisher"!
If you want to drive everyone crazy drop in a field service report for an hour - every 7 months. You have just created additional work for the Secretary - and they hate that.

Ok, so that was pretty disgusting. Thanks for the warning 1:08. Education and a career - pretty bad stuff. Hmmm. -

my 10 year old son is paying attention at the meetings
by user100 inthe public talk on sunday was about evolution.. my son pointed out flaws in the speakers arguments during and after the meeting... mostly about how animals aren't able to communicate etc.
he even brought up coco the ape that is able to communicate via sign.. i told him that i heard a ton of inconsistencies but i am afraid to say anything because your mom will get angry :).
im glad he is paying attention.. and the school system must be doing something right..

It is clear he watched the video with Caleb and Sofia - pay attention at the meetings or die. But I doubt Caleb's parents would be happy with this kind of listening. -

Is homosexuality ever justifiable? I say YES!!!
by TimothyT inin the january 2012 awake, pages 28-29 there is another article about homosexuality.. .
the writers argue that genetics, the environment, and sexual abuse do not justify homosexuality.
the bible clearly states that homosexuality is wrong and is an abhorrent sin.

What a dynamic thread. I liked the phrase of "praying the gay away." Not that I think that will help, it is just a great phrase - highly offensive, but still very creative.
As I was making my exit from the JW religion and religion in general one of my problems related to the fact that there really are gay people. We had a young man in our congregation that was gay - he just was and everyone knew it. But he loved god and also loved what we knew as the "truth."
I could never figure out how god would allow this young man to deal with this conflicting reality. In the end I escaped from the religion, and so did he. We have become great friends So I guess there was a happy ending.

New "donation" arrangement begins to FAIL
by Tech49 inso here we are, almost a year into the "new" congregation donation arrangement.
and its beginning, as was predicted, to fail miserably, and to have direct negative consequences on the poor sheep.. let me give you a little experience, directly from our congregation of about 80 publishers.
back in may, after reading the letter about the "new" arrangement, the elder body decided to "donate" the extra funds on hand to wt, as directed.

Our hall of 75 pubs the donations have gone down significantly, from over $5000 in the bank back in May to just under $1000 now. Our super Elders and MS are too consumed with Pioneering, none of them have been contributing( I know because I am the Account Servant). 3 old Sisters have been carrying the congregation for years, but even they have slacked off.
It is amazing how much you learn as an account servant. I knew that our congregation donations depended on 3 or 4 people. The vast majority, including elders (and me) contributed nothing.
