lets see if that causes a problem.
i've been inactive for a very long time now (like 10+ years), so, i don't expect to hear anything from it, but my parents are worried i'll get df.
lets see what happens.
I've put wonderful solar coloured lights, and fairy lights up in my garden.
They shine beautifully every day of the year, so no spying jw can ever work out what I celebrate or believe.
All my neighbours love the lights. Only the miserable git celebration hating jw's wouldn't like them.

Well done.
What an abominable religion that lets none of us leave and live our lives in peace after ditching their kooky, ever shifting, crackpot and brainwashing beliefs!
i was once was told by an jw elder it was a rule not to gossip or swear as it could harm someone, but i guess the new light allows this.
it was bad enough when they were calling people worldly now i heard a jw gossiping about someone and it was mean.just another reason i would never go back.

He sounds like he was a lovely guy FedUpJW -
jw's are not known for laughter.
there are the rare exceptions.
they are more known for their fear mongering and doomsday scenarios where "the dead shall come to be as manure on the surface of the ground from one end of the earth clear to the other".

Yeh, 'spiritual paradise' my a$$!!

Sorry to hear about that Blondie.
I met a brother who had been a good friend, at a district convention years ago who had moved away from our area - he was a lovely genuine guy.
He had finally been made an elder in his new hall.
I asked him why it had taken so long in our old hall?
He said he learnt that someone had been spreading a rumour to the elders in his original hall for years that he was writing 'worldly' science fiction stories so he didn't qualify.
The other elders never came to him to verify this - he told me he had written stories for an english exam back in the 1970's when he was still in school - who spread these stories I asked.
A distant relative in the hall who was the most bitter, twisted, gossipy old elder.
This was the same horrible guy I took delight in ignoring when I had successfully faded for a number of years.
This same false story spreading, bully elder looked like he was going to burst into tears when I blanked him, and yet he was the most vicious, gossiping elder bully I have ever known..

Had a guy like that in one of my previous congs - learnt recently he's the presiding overseer/elder co-ordinator or whatever they call them there now!

Welcome Nancy - you will be pleased to know there's no gossip here, just genuine chat and friendly interaction.

Good thread.
A good friend once asked the elders why they were holding me back from being appointed.
Their answer:
'He's too happy. Always laughing and making others laugh, Also, he's too self contained. Us elders holding him back doesn't bother him, and we elders don't like that..'
Amazingly, the next co came along - I told him what the elders had said, and he appointed me over their heads!
while i'm aware of wt books being revised without noting the differences on newer editions (the truth book is a classic example of this) ... is there evidence of the writing committee revising the online versions of wt articles, as compared to the printed editions?.
if there is a previous thread on this topic, just link it ... as these is no need to reinvent the wheel.. thanks.
I heard two elders talking about 'present truth' and 'current truth' - how I hate those jw expressions!
realistically, between now and 2034, what do you think watchtower will change or reform to appear more mainstream?
what business opportunities do you see watchtower getting involved in?.
my predictions are as follows: .
