Is there a slowdown in congregation get togethers?
by truthseeker ini was just reading thelisteners post from an earlier thread, and it got me thinking just how little time dubs have to associate togther.. it seems to be more and more the fact, that the only time dubs see each other to "associate" - if you can even call it that - is at meetings and conventions.. even at conventions though, the dubs are told not to go outside for lunch, regardless of whether it is a nice day of not.
(note, this may not be true at all conventions).
where is a jehovah's witness supposed to get this period of refreshment so he can do more?

The New OM Book? Don't Waste Your Time.
by metatron ini zipped thru the new organization book and can tell you that it's a waste of trees.. i think that the updated section on df'ing is mostly just a legalistic response to distance.
themselves from any potential defamation charges, by default.. it downplays the blood issue and 'worldly' holidays but almost none of that matters.. why?
because in the end, the sservice dept calls the shots.

Are the Society planning a 'Pledge of Allegiance'? IT MAY BE TRUE!
by nicolaou ini've just learned from a trusted contact at thewatchtower.org 'norris', that the society intend to put a resolution to the congregations shortly - though definately not at the 'special talk' meeting next month.. here's the scary bit.
this resolution needs to be responded to by all baptized jehovah's witnesses.
we have not been able to get hold of the wording but have been informed it is intended to provide the brotherhood with the opportunity to affirm their loyalty to jehovah and his organization.

Have you been threatened by the WTS?
by ozziepost inthis is especially for those living downunder.. since the "sunday" program of a few years ago ("silent witnesses") we know that many of the r&f expressed their concerns to those in leadership of the wts.
some were so disgusted that they resigned (disassociated) from the wts altogether.. some who expressed concern to elders over the way that the wts handles the whole issue of paedophilia were told to "leave it to jehovah" and even threatened with df if they continued to speak about it.. were you one of those?
if so, i'd very much like to hear from you.

Is the Society's message to JW's getting stronger?
by truthseeker induring a dinner conversation with a loyal jw, he mentioned that the society seems to be making stronger statements to jw's.
he mentioned the "keep on the watch" brochure, and how it seemed to be for jw's as well as the public.
he acknowledged the "personal questions" the society were asking us, in the brochure - how pointed and direct they are, even asking you to rank your physical and spiritual activities on a scale of 1 to 10. .

WTS admits slanting scriptures
by Bluegrass Tom in"furthermore, the remnant of spiritual israel had for decades ... been looking forward to the ending of the times of the gentiles in the autumn of 1914. they were expecting god's messianic kingdom to be fully established in the heavens by then and also for the remnant of spiritual israel to be glorified with jesus christ in the heavenly kingdom at that time.
all understanding of the holy scriptures was slanted in that direction or adjusted to that idea.
