Fading policies and doctrines
by Saltheart Foamfollower infirst a clarification - this is not about policies on faders etc.
it is about how the borg allow policies and doctrines to fade rather than correct them and apologise for mistakes.
here are two examples of what i mean:.

Read the bible daily
by Saltheart Foamfollower ini've just had a circuit visit which surprised me because there was no mention of money or any of the other subjects which seem to have cropped up for others recently.
he did say that we need to read the bible daily so i have decided to do just that.
however, having heard about it on the jwpodcast, i'm reading the skeptic's annotated bible daily which i think will benefit me more than reading the nwt.

The beginning of the end for shunning?
by Saltheart Foamfollower inthe borg seem to prepare for changes by missing explanations out for a while then presenting a "new understanding" which doesn't contradict the most recent discussion.check out the most recent references to gog - no identification as satan.. in today's wt study, paragraph 15 concerning benefitting from the prodigal son stated "if we meet a person who has strayed from the congregation, will we offer loving and practical help to assist him to return?
" there is no footnote or other qualifier saying not to go to disfellowshipped ones (who are definitely the ones being talked about) which is still the official policy.
i know this isn't an ending to shunning, but it may signal the start of the preparation for a change.

UK KH projection equipment
by Saltheart Foamfollower inas everyone knows, there have been major changes in kh financing recently.
this means that congs should only have funds equal to 3 months expenditure on hand - send the rest to the borg.
in the uk there has also been an appeal to send extra funds to finance the new bethel (if we are going to print our own literature and show videos on the doors, why do they need a new bethel?).

KIngdom Hall & Assembly Hall fund - anyone claimed from it?
by Saltheart Foamfollower inthe fund has been in operation for 2 or 3 months now, so i wondered if anyone has heard of any congregations that have tried or succeeded in making claims or getting funding for projects.
or, as we all suspect, is it like the kh assistance arrangement where if you try to make a claim you are "encouraged" to raise the funds locally.. .
