I was "disinvited " to my younger brothers babies shower
by sosad inbecause one of the jw invitees heard i was coming and was now part of babylon the great.
just to clarify - i am part of nothing in the religious sense- my kids and husband are very catholic but i am not.. i was invited and trying to get the address after making considerable efforts to attend due to plain old busy life.. it seems "new light" says i, a fader of over 20 years is not welcome to a gathering where jws are present.
but - not just jws - there would be many other religious denominations present in the form of aunts, grandmothers, parents etc.

Book Study "provision from Jehovah" quotes KM, so why cancelled by GB?
by yesidid inyou will notice that in both these km articles they say the cbs is "a loving arrangement from jehovah".
if that is the case it begs the question: .
what right have they to stop it?

Could the letter's coming directly from the GB imply that Ted was against this change and is being slapped in the ego by the new boys in the regime?
Intriguing.....an interesting point.

Meetings in private homes could well be the oldest and most widely attended of Christian gatherings.
In apostolic times groups of Christians met in private homes to discuss God’s Word.
A moot point.

In the meantime, I would put this on the same level as, say, changing the District Convention from 8-9 days to only 3-4.
I'd say it was more significant than that.
In the example you give, the conventions weren't changed, they were simply shorter; just as if they had been increased to say 10 days, it wouldn't have changed them.
However, with this the current change, a whole meeting is being removed. Yes, "they" can say that it's having its location changed but we all know that's just window dressing. No, the group study is being dispensed with, as the "Society's"™ own letter apparently states, so as "not to burden the brothers" in these difficult times.

I heard one of his old field service slips went for $25,000 at a Christie's auction in New York.
No wonder, it would have been a real rarity! -

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.
