Watch out for increased disfellowshippings in light of sex abuse ruling.
by integ inthis latest ruling could end up being double edged sword.. if the "society" does indeed make an "adjustment" in how they handle a brother or sister's complaints of abuse by abandoning the "two witness rule" then it could be an easy transition into df'ing more people due to their not being a requirement of having "two witnesses" to any event of badness on the part of congregation members.. with that "adjustment" anyone could just make up stuff from now on and have jc meeting to lower the boom.
no more would 2 witnesses be needed.. i'm sure they would use this "clarification in understanding" to their benefit as they do with everything else they implement.. they have been trying to thin the herd with getting rid of those harboring doubts for some time.
this could just make it easier.. just a thought..

Prove the Truth to yourself.
by integ ina sister from my "congregation" has a bible study, and this study had compiled a boatload of questions about russell, the wt history, and incongruencies etc.

she told the study that "it isn't up to me to prove the truth to you, you need to prove the truth to yourself".. as another poster put up the topic of "doesn't it blow your mind?

Feeling sorry for the old time witnesses...wishing it were the "truth".
by integ init's really pretty sad.
i think of my parents, my aunt, and a lot of the old timers that have been in this thing for so long, and i can't help but feel sorry for them.
i mean, how devastating it would/will it be to find out they have been duped all along.

How do people continue to buy into the Watchtower???
by integ infolks,.
with all the information out there, available for all to see; exposing the lies,hypocrisy, and outright ridiculousness (is that a word?..if not it should be) of this whole witness religion, how in the world are people still buying into this?.
is it because i don't have jehovah's spirit anymore?

Hurricane Dean and JW's.
by integ inwhile the wtbs is no doubt scrambling about at bethel; frantically searching the scriptures in an effort to attach some prophetic meaning to this latest hurricane in the caribbean, and how it somhow relates to the importance of stepping it up in the ministry, how much time do you think they will spend on plans to help their fellowman?.
i am sure we will all hear b.s such as " this just shows how we are in the last of the last of the last days".. but oh by the way, make plans for our international convention in 2009..
