Did you ever volunteer at or visit Bethel? What were your impressions when you were in the WBTS vs. now (looking back)?
by Poindexter Lionel Humperdique indid you ever volunteer/visit bethel back when you were in the borg?
at the time, it opended my eyes as i saw a lot of red flags.
for instance, volunteers were kept so busy without reasonable accomodations that everyone became in a robotic-zombie state of compliance with an unreasonably strict fast pased schedule.

Question About Annual Meeting
by turtleturtle in2 corinthians 13:5. test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves!

at the annual meeting, one of the gb said that this scripture does not mean to test the "religion" you are in is the right one.

New Awake magazine goes after the media
by cedars inhere is a link to the pdf.... http://www.jw.org/download/?issue=201312&output=html&pub=g&fileformat=pdf&alllangs=0&langwritten=e&txtcmslang=e&isbible=0.
some interesting quotes.... while it is wise not to believe everything we read in the news, it does not follow that there is nothing we can trust.
the key may be to have a healthy skepticism, while keeping an open mind.tone: when the tone of a news item is angry, spiteful, or highly critical, it suggests that an attack is under way and not a reasoned argument.sources: is there evidence of thorough research?

No bibles at any kingdomhalls, strong rumors the annual meeting is regarding the bible...
by EndofMysteries infrom relatives and contacts in 2 states, there have been no bibles available for a couple months.
one person mentioned to me as well about supposed quotes in the magazines from other bibles.
rumors are that they will announce a new bible, or possibly tell everyone to buy a bible from another place that they approve of.

Spiritual Routine
by turtleturtle inthis is why "spiritual routine" is not a good thing regarding one's relationship with god.full definition of routine (m-w.com).
1a: a regular course of procedure <if resort to legal action becomes a campus routine j. a. perkins> b: habitual or mechanical performance of an established procedure <the routine of factory work>2: a reiterated speech or formula <the old after you routine ray russell>3: a worked-out part (as of an entertainment or sports contest) that may be often repeated <a dance routine>; especially: a theatrical number 4: a sequence of computer instructions for performing a particular task after reading that whole definition ask yourself this: imagine you are married (if you are not already) or have a loving parent.
do you think your wife or parent would like you bringing flowers to him/her on a "routine" basis?
