Just read ths after Blondie's link to new system school posts. I was going to bump it as a great story but and glad to see it's already been done.
I'd love to hear an update.
if you just want the juicy details where i leave, i'll make disclaimer where it begins, if you just want to know what happened with the elders and organization after i realized it wasn't true, i'll mark that seperately.
we didn't do jack shit in service, or in the congregation.
maybe this was how jehovah came about?

my ex husband and father of my daughter was never baptized but is still a believer in the wt.. a couple years ago we were talking about evolution ( which he does not believe in ) i brought up the subject of the neanderthals and how we all have their dna except africans ( the ones that never left africa ).
he said neanderthals are apes and not humans and jw's do not teach that they are humans.
i said i believe they do.. in the life- how did it get here book, under the sub heading " the human family "is says " neanderthal man....... was undoubtedly human.. his response was " they are just talking about what other people believe " ahhhhh .
richard ashe a full-time special servant of the order of jehovah's witnesses testified in the lopez case that every single disfellowshipping and disassociation and other things have all been scanned in 2011 and are and will be on permanent record with jw's forever.
is this legal?
another completely ironic and warped thing is the disfellowshipping form is called the s77 form.

er... DJS. Have you ever stopped to (a) read anything I've ever posted and (b) taken some kind of irony inhibiter?
if you had done (a) you might have realised that I am not prone to posting content supporting whatever soapbox Tony Morris or any other GB member is currently on. Either way, contemplating it for just a few minutes without the influence of (b) might have alerted your irony spidey sense and prevented you from your noisy rant.
I do normally like your posts but your initial response was not only unjustifiably personal but also as judgemental as the tirades usually associated with Morris and his ilk.
Take a chill pill fella.

thou shalt not stay at a hotel that is not on the rooming list.
work prevented me from attending our assigned district (regional) convention so i arranged my schedule to attend in a different city/weekend.
i know that's not a problem, brothers and sisters do it all the time.
Yes, He began to reign in 1914 as a King in Heaven. His first act was to evict Satan.
Then he is going begin reigning again as King, not withstanding he is already reigning, for the 1000 year reign. The kingdom will carry on and he will have another stint of reigning even though he is already reigning. Twice. This time forever.
It really is that simple.
These timeline graphics are appearing regularly now in WT publications. Ones like this are complete smoke and mirrors since there is actually NO TIME on the timeline.
It gives all the impression of the authors knowing what they are talking about, being clear and logical. It's says everything yet nothing. The prediction is cheap, it's a simple interpretation of the Bible yet by avoiding any indication of time it remains ethereal and without any real substance. No one can claim they are wrong as it will always be in the future.
It reinforces the idea the GB know what they are talking about using easily digested visuals but, as usual, has as much depth as a puddle.
