  No ties! No ties!

  Freedom means not having to wear a tie.

  Well done, grassyknoll, you did well!

  Somone remarked that the letterhead "Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses" seems to be a change from the usual. I noticed that too. If this is genuine, then it would indicate to me the growing cultish behavior (as if it wasn't before, eh?)

  There's a certain ordeal here for those who suffer from a certain phobia.

  If I was actually there, I would actually dive forward over the great chasm - I kid you not. Such is life as a sufferer of acrophobia.

  does he suffer from epilepsy or something?

  No, a person doesn't have to be epileptic to suffer from seizures, strange though it may seem, but can be brought on by some acute stress that causes disturbance in the brain.

  mrsjones: my sympathies to your husband and to yourself too - I do have some idea of the terrible burden this must be for you.

  God bless.

  yesidid:

  Yes, thanks for that. Unfortunately there's a plethora of threads on the board at the moment all giving the same info - which isn't that much really.

  I guess more substantial news will flow once the Sunday meetings are held.

  What a pity there's not a scan of the actual letter to BOEs.

  Oh well, you can all wait for the downunder mob, eh? After all they'll gtet to their meetings first!

  WT June 15th Study Edition

  by dozy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i havent seen any specific comments on the latest jw only watchtower (june 15th) so i offer the following brief notes to support what i perceive to be an increasing trend on obeying the fds & stressing the publications.. things from which we must free .

  par 11: true christians have an obligation to warn members of babylon the great.

  one way they do this is by distributing bibles & related literature published by the fds.

  The NWT - an accurate , easy-to-read translation- available in more & more languages has made it convenient & possible to do so

  Yet it's been nearly 30 years since it was revised! Was it so perfect? Hardly.

  Language changes ~ evolves ~ and so Bible translations are revised to keep up with current language usage.

  But not the NWT it seems. So how is it so "easy to read" ? It could only be easy to read if it were expressed in current usage.
