  this saturday is the branch visit of mark sanderson in the selters german bethel.. there will be a video streaming for all the congs.. some of you might have heard branch visit talks of sanderson.. will there be something special or controversial?.

  i am not sure if i should attend even if it's just for noting or recording some controversial stuff.

  would be hard though, 3 hours of wasted time.

  If it's the same as the visit we just has in the UK, it's mostly inoffensive stuff. No tight pants comments.

  One daft part was where they were talking about law victories, he numbered how many they'd win, but then said, we do lose SOME, but that it doesn't matter cos we FEEL Jah is with us... Hmm.

  WWorse was a part on depression, mentioned a lady had put a note in the contribution box saying this was meant to be a suicide note, but so up built by the program, she decided not to. . He said how many feel these feelings of depression , which is nice to acknowledge, but there was not ONE mention of getting HELP professionally.

  Just that nothing can separate from love of Christ. Even death. Yeh, very encouraging. The perfect opportunity to help take away the stigma of seeking help for mental health issues, wasted.

  Simonsays - I don't understand what on earth you're on about. Maybe it's cos I'm thick. Maybe it's cos I can't be arsed to read all the copy and paste material.

  What are you saying? In a nutshell?

  Simonsays, I don't understand what you're trying to say. Are you implying these quotes aren't directly from WT publications?

  Jehovah's Witnesses mentioned on BBC News site regarding not voting

  by defender of truth in

  1. social
  2. current

  jehovah's witnesses.

  there are about 140,000 jehovah's witnesses in the uk who will choose not to vote on 7 may.. mark o'malley, a spokesman for the christian-based religious movement, said: "as you go through the bible we see that god's kingdom is already established in heaven with god as the king of that kingdom.. "we are politically neutral as, in a sense, we have already chosen to support that kingdom's government.

  we see it as a real government.. "there are limitations to what governments can do, maybe they can improve the health system, but they can't prevent death, maybe they can help children, but they can't provide a secure future for them necessarily.

  If we voted we wouldn't get df'd, but according to the new elders book we would disassociate ourselves. Cos thats so different..

  (Not)Preaching advice

  by paradisebeauty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  having recently had an "awakening" - not from reading awake .... i realize i can not preach doctrines i do not believe anymore .

  but i do not want the elders to start following my every move, because i also have plans to check other christian denominations.. so i am thinking, should i chat for an hour or two with an old visit and report the hours, should i tell the elders i have some doubts and i do not want to preach for now or should i just stop reporting and avoid the elders attempts to talk to me?

  what do you think is the best sollution to get away with this?

  The trolley work is great for not having to actually preach to anyone, it's an easy hour!

  Reporting time is just nonsense anyway, there's no scriptural requirement, I just put an hour or two in whether I've done more than that or less.

  interesting post, but if good ole Ray can't effect change then a random anointed won't be able to. Good for him for trying though..

  I'm a Witness, just getting ready for the meeting. There's plenty of us out here, but unfortunately we see the flawed teachings and even the deceptive quotes the WT has used to prove it's points and can't leave yet due to fear of being shunned by our families.

  PM me if you want to talk matey, I'm not df'd, still in good standing, ex elder, happily married etc...

  2. bible

  "jehovah your god...treats none with partiality."--deut.

  10:17.. "impartiality is one of jehovah's endearing qualities.

  " <--yes, between that and his tendency towards genocidal warfare, i don't know what makes me love him more.

  What cappytan said ^^ !

  Welcome spud, take your time. I'm two years into the process of awakening, I blew my load too soon with the missus, the elders investigated me, I had to sloooow down and find out where I stood before I had the confidence to talk to the other half honestly. I didn't think it would take this long, but it is a process and we have to have patience.

  As for the God thing, I don't believe we can know. What I do believe is there's overwhelming evidence for evolution, and IF at the end we find out there IS a God then so be it. I can't choose what to believe. He'll understand!

  My outlook is so fresh and bright now, the world was all wicked and doomed when I was a believer, but now, despite the bad stuff, I see SO MANY good people doing selfless things trying to make the world better for others WITHOUT the motivation of fear or guilt or the dangling carrot of a reward. Life is precious and beautiful and hopefully by the time I'm about to die they'll be able to do rejuvenating head transplants!
