so many of us have had (perhaps well-meaning) jws ask us questions about our inactivity, or lack of attendance at meetings.
they may pry about why..... how is this for a simple, yet straight to the point response?
to a sincere person, it may play on their mind and make them ask more questions.
Great replies!
And Flipper you make a good point about "bible trained or God-given conscience".
YES! My conscience IS better than those. (we don't tolerate the horrific things of the bible)
I suppose I just used that expression to soften the comment.
But it would be better to simply say "My moral conscience prevents me....."
Thanks for your suggestion of this Flipper.
a movie about the riots in the seventies in the city of detroit but especially with the reason for the riots and the attitude of police and how the nation treated people of colour.
and how they treated them and how the justice system failed them .. based on a true story.
i found it very confronting yet compelling to watch.. humans have a tendency to lump everybody together in the same basket ,however we are not all the same, their is good and bad in every race and culture whether they are black, white or brindle .. anybody seen it and like to comment ?.
The movie did well in portraying what the atmosphere and tensions of the time must have felt like.
we hear a story regarding the life of thomas and emma.
she states that "when thomas and i first learnt that i was pregnant, we were both really shocked" she doesn't explain why they were both really shocked but it seems an odd reaction unless they were using the safest contraception invented or hadn't been told about the bird and the bees.two experiences that touched the heart of gb sanderson were as follows -.
in russia a jw was jailed for 6 months, the jailers did everything to try to undermine his faith, which included violence.
Oh @wakeme! So funny!

How is this for a simple, yet straight to the point response? To a sincere person, it may play on their mind and make them ask more questions. To a fully in indoctrinated pious JW, it stops them dead in their tracks and makes a point:
"Thanks, but my God-given Bible trained conscience doesn't allow me to associate, now that I know a multitude of disturbing facts"
ok.. we have often heard secret recordings online of jc hearings.
but, what i would like to know is if individuals are entitled to the right of officially recording their judicial hearings?.
supposing i was to attend a judicial committee and i explained up front that i would like to record the proceedings and then place a dictaphone on the table.
Or just lie.
When I was asked if I was recording it, I simply said "why would you ask that?", and kept the recorder going....
They may have assumed that I said no.
it also looks like guests got to walk around the sets of what i'm guessing is what was used for the new jonah movie, coming soon to a convention near you, summer 2018.. .

The society is making itself feel so important with all this stuff.
Lots of in house fluff with no actual substance!

Are they trying to make a reference and comparison to the current day bans going on in Russia perhaps?

then there was family day which had an enormous turnout, with guests getting live entertainment, dancing and a dj.
they said that next time they'll cut back and not invite guests.. .
.
Traditionally, Bethel homes have an annual "family day" which is an in house day or evening of performances by bethel family members.
Some sing, some dance, some play instruments, some do in house comedy etc...
It is supposed to be a morale boosting fun time for bethelites only. NO RECORDINGS OR PHOTOS were ever permitted to be shown to those outside of bethel.
