  I've tried a couple from here and they were a fine drop. Unfortunately, I live on the opposite side of the planet to the brewery, so I have to make do with whatever the importers will bring in.

  So what happened to the claim that the FDS is God's channel of communication to mankind in our day?

  To the faithful they claim they are, to the courts, they claim they're not,

  Yes, they can. And they can do it without losing contact with their family.

  But.... and it is a very big but. They are treading a very thin line. If they are confronted by two Elders who witness an admission that they are no longer believers, they will be announced as 'no longer JWs'; and be shunned the same as someone who DA'd or was DF'd.

  We are not thinking folks. What is the best way to get JW's to check out the events in Australia.

  by James Mixon in

  2. beliefs

  tell our jw family members, door knockers, and stand sitters that you were very impressed.

  by the branch overseer and other elders in australia, they gave a fine witness.. so what will happen, they will tell their friends the brothers in australia gave a fine.

  witness.

  Tell them as little as possible. Ask them what is happening in Australia, then make them tell you. Make them do the explaining.

  Don't frighten them off with your opinions. Ask them for their's.

  Keep them honest.

  Has anybody been guilted/emotionally blackmailed into attending the 2015 Memorial?

  by Bucholz in

  2. experiences

  hello everybody, i was wondering if anyone has been guilted or emotionally blackmailed into attending the memorial this year.

  something along the lines of "if you loved your family you would at least attend the memorial".

  i myself haven't attended in 5 years.

  I never get invited. They know me. They know I was never baptised. They pretend they are my friends. They call in to say hello while doing the invite drop-off, but don't give me one.

  I've been doing that for years. I have a beer at the local pub while the family Dubs have their annual 'Pretend Jesis is Important' scam.
