we are both off of work due to sick kids.

while cooking lunch he turns to me and says, i don't know anywhere in the bible that jesus would give dates about the end coming.

he said to love, forgive, and love some more.

We are both off of work due to sick kids. while cooking lunch he turns to me and says, I don't know anywhere in the bible that Jesus would give dates about the end coming. He said to love, forgive, and love some more. Why are they so fixated on figuring out dates they can't guess? I was in shock and said, well, I think our whole religion is based off of 1914. He said he doesn't necessarily agree Or disagree. I said, well, if 1914 is wrong 1919 crumbles and the GB isn't Gods channel for us. then silence and he said we would talk later.

Where do I go from here? I can't believe he even brought it up.

the rumor mill and insight from this website has me dreaming of slipping out some, " my friend at bethel ( i have a few but their nobodies) told me coming up they are changing 144k, our name thus the logo changes, and the number of gb members".

would i get in trouble, could elders legitimately talk to me?

who are they if i have info from someone higher up and in new york?

I know it's wise to keep my mouth shut, my family is invisible, when these changes are made I would love to see them all just die that there status wasn't in the "know" first compared to my 'sorry' R&F a$$.

Will firing the DOs be the first step to a new Watchtower?

by Juan Viejo2 in

against my better judgement, i've decided to share the following as a response to guy pierce passing and the announcement of the elimination of district overseers later this year.. late in january (2014) i got an email from one of my contacts (a fader) who served at bethel for several years, but is no longer at wt hq.

he still has a lot of close contacts within the service department and in other departments at patterson and knows people in all of the ny offices.

i kept this email set aside on a flash drive and haven't shared it with anyone - figuring i'd publish an article about it later this year when i had more time to do it right.

Be Honest: Were You Ever Jealous When Someone Was Appointed a Pioneer, MS or Elder?

i knew some that were very happy for you and others, along with their families, that were envious of someone's advancement.. .

@millie210 - what happens to wives of elders? my husband is not a servant and none of my close friends husbands are either. I was recently at a dinner and a sister I met was saying her husband just got appointed and the other elders wives told her to get ready. So, my question is, get ready for what? Do people complain about elder wives dress? You are expected to never miss a meeting? What is it? Because the servants wives in my area are the only ones allowed to miss meetings/ service because they are the only 'truly' sick ones, the rest of us are fakers, :)

Usually, I feel irritated, because I know all the butt kissing they did to get there. Any of our friends that got appointed turned in to robots. I think most reach out for the title, but the few sincere ones, realize their treading against the current And get burned out. We come to meeting when we want, leave at the half, never pioneer, hardly ever do service and feel the servants look down on us (from shepherding calls and conversation, we know were labeled weak) however, I am pretty sure they are jealous that we do what's best for our family and they wish they Had the balls to do the same. Having a title and the ego come at a price :)

I remind my hubby at least we have our education, good jobs, happy family, and live well....so 3.5 hours out of the week we are treated As though we are worthless. At least in the 'world' we are respected. Isn't that pathetic we feel that way, as Gods loving people?!

Bible Students

Was at A Witness gathering tonight and mentioned the Bible Students, everyone looked at me like I was nuts. How do I prove you still exist, website? Do you all celebrate holidays? Do you meet together weekly? I am curious through doing my own research and dissatisfaction with JWs but also, so I can be informed when discussing you BS with other JWs. I guess I am being rather brazen :)

So this scary horrific Great Tribulation we are waiting for isn't what We have learned my whole life? Scared to death as a kid, this horrific event we waited for Isn't going to be as I grew up fearing. Henice the Revelation book. Count me in.

I have lived in fear my whole life and hated we lived in the 'last days' where meeting and service meant our salvation.

can you explain why when Russell died and most people left.... Why do current JWs not see, maybe another branch was correct and Rutherford went astray?

When he was talking to teens, did you see how ridiculous when he says, what's after 12... 13! You're talking to teenagers....not 2 year olds. Lame. And about bullying, he went out in service and met the bully at the door.?? Embarrassing, now he will really get his butt kicked. They have never raised kids for the most part and live in isolation....and they have advice parents will use? Scary?

TV.JW.ORG is coming!

Even if their plan is to make it so jw kids don't watch tv. Their ten years behind. Kids have too easy of access to the internet, know a lot from their peers, they won't buy in to watch only jw tv. Not too mention, kids my kids age 6-newborn, we as parents can hardly stay in the hypocrisy circle known as the truth. This only serves themselves, the good loving JWs that still believe wil feel encouraged, but mainly the servants and women with titles that LOVE to be the first too know. They will use it to compare with other families ...'we stream jw tv every morning...' Start quoting GB members talks in their comments on Sunday.

gag.

i told an old couple in my hall about jw tv, I thought they were going to have a heart attack. " what in the hell is that for " they said. Hilarious!!
