I'v got to tell something this!
by voltaire ini've posted several times about how i'm fed up with the witnesses but my wife won't budge.
she's become a bit more tolerant lately, but mostly we get along better when we don't talk about anything substantive.
i've been working up the nerve to tell the elders why i don't go out anymore.

Good JW Growth for 2007
by voltaire indear all,.
i don't see that anyone has commented on the 2007 report.
i must say i was surprised with the impressive growth, not only worldwide, but in the developing countries which have seen some decrease in the last few years.

Have your moral values changed drastically?
by voltaire ini'm currently separated from my wife.
i told the elders that it ain't the truth and they told me to shape up or ship out (that's the very short version) my wife's loyal to the org.
and i don't want to be an apostate in my own home.

Begining of the end
by voltaire ini don't post often and many of you seem to be relatively new to the board, so you may not know me or my situation.
i've been struggling with some the usual issues that are commented on here on a regular basis.
last sunday the elders finally asked me why i haven't been in service for the last two months.

Gangas & NWT
by voltaire ini heard an interesting program the other night that reminded me of the debates/questions that arise about the tanslation of the nwt.
it has been asserted that since george gangas was a speaker of modern greek he was not qualified to translate biblical greek.
the progam i heard is hosted by milt rosenberg on wgn 720 and the guests were two linguists from illinois universities ( i can't recall their names).

Fire Walls and Sueing the Society
by voltaire ina few thoughts about the society's efforts to protect itself from litigation.. i attended the elder's seminar a few years back where we were instructed to write in our elder's manual a few extra instructions pertaining to filling out the society's disfellowshipping forms and other aspects related to judicial cases.
that was nothing terribly unusual.
we often wrote in clarifications and updates during meetings with the co. this time was a little different because we filled an entire page with seven(i think) specific instructions.
