Yup, still in Kate but disengaging slowly over time. I stepped down several months ago now. Threw out a box full of literature as well - told my wife there was no point keeping it since it's all on the net. Freed up half a cupboard.

Is the Russian action in the Crimea prophetic gold for the GB?
by konceptual99 inso chatter on the net and in coffee shops suggests lots of speculation about the re-emergence of russia as the king of the north.
does this political situation give the gb a golden opportunity to simply let speculation about prophecy fly and keep people distracted from the fact that nothing they have prophecied has actually come true?.

District Assembly arrangements 2014.
by quellycatface inmy jw mother drives me nuts.
she lives in quite a cut-off part of the uk and this year, is expected to travel to hq (rugbyfans), aka twickenham.
she's great to make the trip, it's like a spiritual holiday for her.. i said i thought it ridiculous and unreasonable for the gb to expect people to travel that far and pay for accommodation near london.

It's an international this year. Twickers is the hub for the UK. There are some other sites in the UK but Twickers is basically doing all the south and south west below the M4 down to Cornwall. Kent & Essex to the Excel. Wales to Cardiff.
All the VIPs will be at Twickers and then a number of talks piped out to the other site.
It will be so happifying.

At what point did you destroy your Blood card?
by BU2B ini know for me it was soon after lurking here for awhile and reading some threads on the issue.
i remenber when i tore it into little tiny pieces.
it felt so liberating..

Haven't had a card for YEARS even though I was a serving MS until a few months ago. Had issues with the blood doctrine for years so never bothered. Blood was the first crack in my faith, closely followed by confusion over Genesis, evolution, the flood and the JW's approach to science in general.

Counteract jw.org August 2014 Campaign!
by jw07 inthere was a letter read at the last meeting indicating a push to advertise jw.org door to door in august 2014.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/273040/1/four-boe-letters#.uv8l4vldv1e.
many of those who the witnesses prey upon will no doubt search for additional information on the internet.. let us use the extra attention against the watchtower!.
- there are many of us on active on this site.. - most of the widley used search engines (google, yahoo, bing etc) show autocomplete results.. .

IMHO Alexa is not the be all and end all of web site stat monitoring since it's stats capture depends on the user having the Alexa toolbar. It's of interest and of some consequence but not 100% proof of the rankings of any given site.
Regardless the stats it has gathered do point to a interesting extrapolation that users with no or some college education are over represented and those with graduate or full college education are under represented.

Were You Ever Comfortable Going From House To House?
by minimus inbecause i was raised a witness, i don't think i was "uncomfortable" knocking on strangers' doors.
(weirdo).. but as i got older, i simply didn't want to bother anyone so i was at there door for no more than 30 seconds.
at the end i hated being there..

Never comfortable. Just about tolerable. I've not done proper first call work for months. Still putting a report in to keep under the radar.

Move along, nothing to see here.
There will be a little flurry of activity perhaps but long term it'll be same old same old. I've not had one elder even offer to visit after I stepped down over 6 months ago. They all said how I would be missed and that I needed to keep myself strong but not one has bothered to come round and see me or my family. Not that I care, but they don't know that.
