Just to add, that I think the chances of having been a dickhead increase if you were an elder, a "superfine" pioneer or had family inactive/disfellowshipped. Thankfully pretty much none of that has applied to me.

Looking Back, Are You Embarrassed By Your Attitudes, Speech, Actions as a JW?
by minimus ini think of how judgmental we were as witnesses.
"worldly ones" were almost as bad as disfellowshipped ones but not as bad as "apostates"..

Generally no. I do have some moments of ploppyness which I think were stupid and naive. I wish I showed more love to DF'ed ones. I also regret how I handled a situation regarding the a family who were leaving the "truth". Part of me also wishes I'd been less influenced by being the son of an elder and how things reflected on him. Having seen how he handled my siblings I think he would have expected me to get up to much more than I did. He said to one of my siblings once when they have been seen drinking underage that they were more stupid for getting caught than drinking in the pub!

Electronic KMs Now Being Provided By Org to R&F?
by pronomono ini received a call from my book study conductor the other day asking for my email address so that he could start sending electronic copies of the km to me.
has anyone else received calls like this?
i've missed quite a few meeting (it's been nice) so am unaware if any letter has been read.

They have had a letter about it George. Anyone who is entitled to a paper copy can ask for one. They don't want the R&F to know 'cos it's yet more work.

JW Witnessing Trolleys. To approach or ignore what is your preference and why?
by KateWild ini saw two brothers this morning next to the main train station in liverpool city centre this morning.
they were not actively approaching anyone.
what i found strange was that they were from a cong that has different territory, so i don't know why they were there.. anyway i knew them both, and they know i was df'd, i was in my car and couldn't park up for a chat, but i did beep and wave to them as i drove passed and they waved back.

I have seen 3 stands.. none of them have Bibles Displayed or available : (
Ecc 12:12 - " My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end..."
Yup - the lack of bibles is because the instruction is not to have bibles on display. Only if someone asks for specifically should they be given on.

Elders have had the permission to pass the KM on. If they are not then it's lazy.

Do you mean that the funds will go into the WTS controlled pot instead of being ring-fenced for this construction project, as per the new donation arrangement?
Is the hall still going to be built?
If so then I see no one complaining. They will be happified that the GB can use their money for anything.

by Captain Blithering inhttp://www.jw.org/en/news/

In itself this is commendable. Let's hope no pressure is being put on these people to donate back.
