Mark Sanderson Talk re Belgium visit
by Listener inthe degradation of the governing body members continues on.
mark sanderson gives a talk regarding his visit to belgium for the memorial this year and was travelling from korea to munich to brussels, belgium on the day of the belgium terrorist attacks.he cannot wipe the smirk on his face as he relates his experience, with no regard whatsoever of all those unfortunately affected by the attacks.
in fact, he personally found god's hand affecting him personally, allowing him to attend the memorial as planned and a kh dedication.he is that privileged during his flight travels that internet was available to him, enabling him to catch up on current news and to contact branch's.

Nobody at work knows what JWs believe
by Athanasius inrecently susie, one of my co-workers mentioned that her husband's family were all jws.
the family converted after susie's husband left home, so he never joined the jws, nor does he intend to.
anyway another co-worker asked her: "what do the jws believe?".

As Wizzstick says, the world wide preaching work is the most ineffectual sales and marketing campaign ever.

No! No! No! This can't be true? brexit? No!
by purrpurr init seems britain has voted to leave the eu in a move of total madness!
the markets are already in free fall and the moronic bigots who campaigned for this are celebrating the demise of our country .. i can't see how a 49-51% split can be democratic?
there is still the postal vote to come in, maybe there's hope in that?

Farage was crowing his triumphant victory speech before the result was certain as if he had an overwhelming majority.
He was then back tracking on the NHS commitment within a few hours of the count being over.
He is a ****.

They should have allowed 16 & 17 year olds to vote and capped the upper age limit to 55 so the result would have reflected the will of the people who actually are going to have to live with the consequences.

Dear Blondie. I have no gripe against the copyright holder and her efforts and I do actually know what it takes to write a book (over 700 pages btw) and get it published because I did it over 10 years ago. I am supportive of the efforts and work it takes to get this sort of thing done, especially given the voluntary nature of the task. I also do not like to see the work undermined by the continued availability of CoC through unofficial sources.
Having said that, I know there was a large amount of goodwill in places like here to support the CRH in her work and get the book out and available as quickly as possible. To the best of my knowledge little of that help has been accepted and it has taken a long time to get even to where we are now which is still rough draft.
My gut feel, on that basis, is that we shall still be waiting for CoC to be properly released into next year. I also think the continued lead time undermines the relevance and import of Ray Franz's work.
I accept that my response could reflect a little more positivity however I am underwhelmed and the link to the update was put on a discussion forum. Implying that only those that have written a book about their JW experiences and published it have a right to express an opinion is a distraction. Regardless of the work being done by the CRH to do all the copyright due diligence, check the manuscript etc., the book was already there. It was already written (albeit with some updates to be sorted as I understand it) and this exercise is about getting it back out into the hands of truth seekers through an official route.
I do wish the CPH my best and look forward to hearing more progress as soon as possible.

How will BREXIT affect Watchtower's interpretation of Daniel's prophecies?
by truthseeker innow that the uk has voted to leave the eu i wonder how this will impact watchtower's thinking about the end times prophecies in daniel and revelation?.
will trump win the presidency, and if so, will he and whoever is in charge of the uk form a new anglo-american power?
what about the ten kings ruling in the time of the end?.

Who cares. There'll be a video about cuddling your resurrected brother/sister/father/mother/son/daughter in a lush meadow surround by smiling models in cheesecloth smocks along any minute.
Cue the nodding dog choir.

Who are the "Inactive"?
by thereishope inthis was my starting point in this journey of rediscovery, and i've made great strides, but here i am again asking the same question.
all this talk re the rc and the shunning of the inactive ones.
there is no announcement made obviously about "shun sister so-and-so, as she is inactive.

You are spot on the money BB. I am sure there will be a minority of dubs who might start being harsher with some relatives/associates. I am also sure there will be some who will mistakenly think they need to shun all inactive ones. I get the feeling however that actually most will dream on through the talk, hardly notice it and the status quo will remain. It's far more of a trigger point for the exJW community than those inside.
There will probably be a WT down the line repeating the counsel which will get more attention but I doubt that will be able to be interpreted any differently to the content of the talk.
