  Remember the two elderly sisters?

  by John Aquila in

  about a month ago i posted what had happened to two elderly sisters who were reprimanded by a couple of elders for crying because the jw broadcasting was going to be stopped at the kingdom hall and it was up to each publisher to learn how to use the internet.

  if you recall the sisters got together with my mom and talked about it and it resulted in all of them declining to make meals for the pioneers.

  here is the link.

  Maybe not cultbegone, but it will bog things down that have up till now been a given.

  The more legislation they have to work around the more difficult it will become for anyone "reaching out."

  Also, how does this bode for the Theocratic ministry "School" and the children enrolled.

  Children going door to door with anyone other than their parents?

  How will this affect the door to door work I wonder.

  Will you need background check to study the bible with children other than your own?

  This opens a pandora's box full of questions.

  so i ran into this brother whom ive known for a while and the conversation led into me being invited to come back to the kingdom hall.

  we talked for about an hour during which time i explained to him 607 being the wrong date and a lot of other stuff including the child abuse cases in australia.

  but what i wanted to relate was the last few minutes of our conversation.

  Good point VI - the integrity to know what's right and the courage to act.
