  this is a follow-on to my earlier post 'the slain of jehovah'.

  so we're sat in a cafe with my old friend of over 40 years, together with his wife.

  actually, it's 50 years.

  .......has the news in the uk been dominated every single day for years by a single topic, i.e.

  brexit.

  it's all-consuming.. and the way things are going, it's going to last way longer than ww2.. we've got at least another 1-2 years of "negotiating a deal" to endure - imho..

  he wanted to go back to the Maltese Lira.

  I visited Malta in 1980 and the currency then was the Maltese pound ( M£).

  This is a follow-on to my earlier post 'The slain of jehovah'.

  So we're sat in a cafe with my old friend of over 40 years, together with his wife. Actually, it's 50 years. They've recently celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary and I was the best man at their KH wedding.

  After I was DF'd I assumed my friends wouldn't want to know me at all, so I kept away. They lived in another city so it wasn't difficult. Strangely, they hadn't even known about my own DF'ing until our meet up on Thursday. Likewise I hadn't known that they'd left the dubbies in the mid - 70's. Left, but not disfellowshipped. They'd moved house a lot so they must have slipped through the net.

  As our time together slipped by, I told them how my parents had wrongly assumed that I'd left because of the Watchtower article concerning the veto on certain goings-on in the marital bed. (Watchtower 1972 December 1 pp.734-6 Questions from Readers) They were mistaken of course, the article came out some months after my departure and it was some decades later that I became aware it even existed.

  However, the article sparked of some curiosity in my then oh-so innocent friends, both of them not quite understanding exactly what the WT article was refering to. It actually gave them an interest in the sauces and pickles side of marital life.

  And as the lady herself said, sometimes it's better to give than to receive!

  But here's the strange thing. Both our sets of parents approached us when the article in the 1972 WT was revoked in a 1978 WT. (Watchtower 1978 February 15 pp.30-1 Questions from Readers) They'd convinced themselves - both my parents and the parents of my friends - that we'd left "The Truth" solely because we wanted to be able to do all the naughty things that the 72 WT had forbidden.

  I recall being quite offended when my own parent told me that these things were OK for me to do now and it need no longer be a sticking point in my return to the truth.

  Bloody hell. Nuts or what?

  The Slain of Jehovah

  i was talking to an old ex-dub friend yesterday.

  we hadn't seen one another for 40+ years, so we had a whole wealth of experiences (upbuilding experiences, ha ha!

  ) to swap.. one of the similar things we'd encountered was parental blackmail to return to the truth, desist from turning our backs on jehovah, get right with jehovah, put our lives in order, etc etc.. each time this involved a much loved dead relative.. mine went along the lines of: .

  Mine went along the lines of:

  "What are we going to say to your grandmother after the resurrection? The first thing she's going to ask when she's raised from the dead is where is Snugglebunny? And I'm going to have to explain to her that Snugglebunny didn't make it, that Snugglebunny was amongst the slain of Jehovah. Can you imagine how that will devastate her?"

  For me it was probably one of the most infuriating loaded witnessy questions that I'd ever come across. My comeback to my parents was that I was a good father, a good husband and a good provider. Why would Jehovah want to kill me?

  More coming up.

  Holy Spirit - Present or Gone in the Congregations?

  by BourneIdentity in

  2. experiences

  i was doing some reminiscing and remember the days back in the late 80s and early 90s where i truly could say the meetings were so encouraging and that i felt the holy spirit present and operating on all of us.

  today when i attend, there is nothing of the sort.

  is it because jehovah has withheld it?

  Seriously - is that really a Cadillac? It looks more like a '95 Ford Mondeo to me.

  on saturday my son finally got around to getting his driver's license, and then on monday, he bought his first car.

  you might be thinking he is 16 or 17, but you'd be wrong.

  he is almost 22 and in his third year of college.

  Got my provisional licence on my 17th birthday and passed my test within a few months. I immediately got a job driving a bread van. Good money for a lad! Back then you could drive anything up to 3 tons between 17 and 20. Once you were 21 you could drive virtually anything on a standard car licence; no HGV or special weight restrictions at all.

  I was 19 when I bought my first car: A 1949 Austin Devon. Like this. Pretty cool eh?

  This Forum. Has it changed? For the better or for the worse? Or not a at all?

  when i post i try to imagine that i am at a social gathering or sometimes in someone's house as a dinner guest.

  that way it is easier to follow the community guidelines and posting rules set out on the site at the bottom of the page.

  i wouldn't want to make a fool of myself in public.
