Tony's life story

by life is to short in

so i finally read tony's life story and this one point really hit me where he was talking about his son's.

on page 7 he say's "because they made the truth their own, they make susan and me look good.

so those who children leave the "truth" look bad?.

Are these stories not usually published when someone is just about to kick off and then off to collect their heavenly reward?

Well "Jim" found out and got Tony in touch with 'a sister who owned a boarding house.

Was she unmarried?

"apostates capitalize on errors or seeming mistakes made by brothers who take the lead.

our safety lies in avoiding apostate propaganda as though it were poison, which in fact it is.".

"Apostates capitalize on errors or seeming mistakes made by brothers who take the lead. Our safety lies in avoiding apostate propaganda as though it were poison, which in fact it is."

I don't know where to begin with those two sentences.

Wife fully awake.

by cappytan in

i learned this past week that my wife is now awake.

i just shared the pbs newshour segment with her with no comment other than something along the lines of, "jw story on pbs.".

she is furious at the arrogance of these men.. thats what happens when you get a momma angry!.

berrygerry

I know how lucky I am. I hope for every dude out there waiting for his wife to wake up gets to someday experience this feeling.

So sweet for you. (Much envy here.)

Congrats to you both. (You have a second anniversary to commemorate.)

1st time in 30 years no one Baptized at our Assembly

by James Jack in

at our assembly in alabama, no one got baptized, even though we added 3 congregations to our side in the circuit.

just looked at my wife and said wow.. yet ironically, the regular pioneer ranks have increased 45% in the last 5 years!.

Somebody should have called this Woman !

A bonus statistic.

Zero hours needed to get that one.

I Have a Terminal Illness

by berrygerry in

first off, no, i don't have one.. but, was researching, and this article "when a loved one leaves jehovah" ( sep 1, 2006, p. 17 ), has a box "have you left jehovah.".

this box includes: "you cannot know if you will even be alive tomorrow.

(psalm 102:3; james 4:13, 14) one man who was diagnosed with a terminal illness said: this illness caught me serving jehovah full-time, with no skeletons in my closet.

First off, no, I don't have one.

But, was researching, and this article "When a Loved One Leaves Jehovah" ( Sep 1, 2006, p. 17 ), has a box "Have You Left Jehovah."

This box includes: "You cannot know if you will even be alive tomorrow. (Psalm 102:3; James 4:13, 14) One man who was diagnosed with a terminal illness said: “This illness caught me serving Jehovah full-time, with no skeletons in my closet. And that’s a good feeling to have right now.” Imagine, though, how he would have felt if his illness had caught him saying, “Someday, I will return to Jehovah!” If you have left Jehovah, now is the best time to return."

If you learned of having a terminal illness, what would be going through your mind?

(I'm a pioneer ??? , etc.)

WT is trying to scare off memorial partakers

by cookiemaster in

i don't know how many of you still participate in the sunday wt study, but i unfortunately still do.

even though i was asleep half of the time, i did notice something i thought i should share with the rest, in case you haven't noticed.

a lot of the paragraphs were worded strongly against partaking and used clear language of intimidation and discouragement toward anyone thinking of partaking.

berrygerry

I'm not kidding, we should attend and leave the plates and wine glasses empty for the rest of the audience to pass along.

I've suggested that if a dozen or more strategically "attended" a target KH, and strategically seated themselves, they could consume a fair bit of wine being passed.

by rathernotsay in

jw
friends

hey people, .

i am soon going into a kh for the first time and i could use some advice around etiquette etc.

i know next to nothing besides the fundamental beliefs of jws, i personally dont believe in any religion, and that stance isnt ever going to change, however i don't want to come across as rude or disrespectful.
