  My wife is never going to wake up.

  what do you do when you believe in your heart that your spouse is never going to wake up to the tatt?

  when you're sick of the cherade of pretending you can deal with the spiritual division when you dont think you can anymore.

  when you're convinced that your spouse is so decieved she is lost in a desert and is fine with living by the mirage.

  And who came to the aid of the woman (Rev. 12:16)?

  Was it not THE EARTH?

  What was the difference in the feet of Daniel's statue?

  The clay, from THE EARTH, would not mix with the iron.

  This change of course, crystallized after the decade of the 60's, in other words, in 1970.

  Therefore, one of the most famous generations of all-time, hippies, will not completely pass away, before all these things have occurred.

  I guess no one here would be working the video at the RC.

  What could liven it up a bit is to slip in the video for the deaf.

  I'm wondering what would happen to a congregation whose elders refused to go along with this new money grab and didnt hand over their money or pledge any amount at all.

  Don`t forget the new instant appointment / deletion by the CO arrangement.

  No loose ends.

  JWs in a frenzy!

  by leaving_quietly in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anyone else get the distinct impression that jws are being worked up into a frenzy with all the changes and activity nowadays?

  by the end of august, there will have been four campaigns inside of a year.

  one last november, a memorial campaign, a convention campaign and an advertise jw.org campaign.. then there's the conventions with all the hooplah around that with all the video, and the aggrandizement of synchronized gb talks.

  How many remember the 15 min break Between the Public Tlk and WT Study?

  by Wasanelder Once in

  2. entertainment

  as kid i remember a break of 15 minutes between the public talk and the wt study.

  all the new ones and "weak" ones ran out to smoke.

  loved to see the attendant round them up to come back in when the droning began again.

  Lots of threads for me to catch up.

  I remember the smoke-break after the talk. But it didn't add extra time, so it was a welcome break.

  Another oddity back then was the WT study - the paragraph was Q and A'd, and after the Q & A's, then the paragraph was read by the reader.

  It seemed weird when it was switched to read before the Q & A's.

  so it's' been 8 months since i was disfellowshiped.

  i moved out of my mothers house accross the country to room with a friend.

  things have been going ok, it's just strange to be so far away from everything that felt familiar, even the meetings.

  Do you have any friends from your old hall that still supported you?

  Initially, I was surprised at the number of youths that lead "double-lives" (I.e. they're human, not drones).

  They've made a huge difference in my child keeping sane.
