years ago when i was "in" i loved the book study.
it was my favorite meeting by far.
mainly because it was a small group.
One of the best changes. Hated that awful meeting!
Now, some time soon, I hope they do away with the Friday in the regional assembly.
DY
it is announced for sunday afternoon.
i am just wondering if it is a local thing or national.
Obey, contribute, do more, more, more.
All to emphasize the F.O.G. JW life: Fear, Obligation and Guilt.
This is the beauty of being awakened to TTATT.

boy who was seriously injured in a collision at gamlingay in cambridgeshire last thursday has died.. nine-year-old archie stevens, of western way, sandy, bedfordshire, died in hospital early on saturday afternoon.. the collision at about 10am in drove road, which involved two cars, also resulted in the death of his grandfather, 68-year-old martin harker, of green acres, sandy, who died at the scene.http://www.itv.com/news/anglia/update/2016-02-22/nine-year-old-boy-dies-after-cambridgeshire-crash/.
the boy and his grandfather were jehovahs witnesses and they were on field service when a car drove into them.
the lad, who is the son of an elder who moved to a cambridge congregation to serve where the need is greater, was on life support before the sad decision was made to turn it off.
So, his elder father moves to a congregation to help out, and the reward from our loving, merciful, all-knowing Father is.... the tragic death of the child and the grandfather.
Gotta love that Jehovah!!!

just now finding this web site and have enjoyed reading the comments.
i've never written down my story and it could be a jerry springer episode but here goes.
i was raised as a jehovah's witness from as early as i can remember.
Happiness IS the truth. 😀Congratulations.

after all that we had drummed into us about not the cross, and particularly about not venerating the symbol itself, i have been wondering about this issue.. so, what are your views about wearing a cross around your neck ?
is it just a fashion accessory, or does it mean something to you ?.
inquiring minds would like to know
To answer the subject question: Not for a million dollars!!!
Not only is it meaningless, but it is also one UGLY piece of ornament!

we saw it with raymond franz.
but do you think we could ever see one of the current gb members or future ones, make the same choice?.
to leave, and expose it..
Those men do not have integrity. No way will they give up their lavish lifestyle, adulation and worship.

Excellent!!!
Too bad is an election year. I wish the mainstream media brought this out to the forefront more. It would be nice to bring the fire to their main HQ here.
I know of this Spanish brother that got convicted and is still a JW in good standing. Then there is this sister whose husband molested the grandchildren, and she/they, the parents too, covered it up and just relocated. The guy still a JW in good standing. Disgusting!!!

Do not choose higher education. The New System is near enough that you will not get old or get any use for a profession. (Awake 1969?)

mum phoned last night to see how we all are.
after fifteen years away from meetings and my old jw life you'd think my fade could be called 'successful' and for the most part it is.
.. my resentment at being lied to and having wasted over thirty years of my life has left me like a glass of water full to the brim, it only takes a tap to make a mess.
You can check out anytime you want, but you could never leave the WTBTS.
An argument and sleepless night over a dog, and semantics, though?! There have to be better battles than this pettiness.

good morning from the east coast.
i have a question.
a friend of mine texted me and one of the things she said was that they were getting a lot of great responses with the campaign because they are showing the video.
Video showing is now part of what we HAVE to report monthly.
One more thing to be judged on. One more to be a liar about. 😕
