  to give a little background, my parents are in their late 50s.

  around a year ago, my elder dad got laid off from his job.

  he worked as a auto mechanic making ok money.

  1 Thes 4:11,12

  11 Make it your aim to live quietly + and to mind your own business + and to work with your hands, + just as we instructed you, 12 so that you may walk decently in the eyes of people outside + and not need anything.

  best scripture for all those that use the system to pioneer.

  seriously, i am so thankful that the org has officially allowed the use of ipads and tablets at the kingdom hall!.

  it is the only thing that keeps me sane while sitting there....being able to log on to this site while pretending to follow along with the program!.

  i think i would have literally lost my mind without this lifeline!.

  My fairly strait laced Jdub girlfriend told me on Sunday at a get together, sisters were gathered together making fun of the zone visit. About 20 sisters ages 21-40. She said on Instagram, #jwhumor, are hilarious things poking fun. Then someone wrote that making fun of the GB is insulting the GB and Jehovah, gives apostates ammunition, and they're was a reason we weren't to record etc.

  She thinks, with others in this age group, it's bogus but of course 'the truth'

  I asked an older JW sister who is very in, but anti DFing and shunning, what she would think if they introduced tithing... She said "We would have become a part of Christendom" she then called her husband 75 year old to see his thoughts and he said it won't happen, ' that's what false religion does, not us'

  maybe that's what will rock older people's boats...tithing...because it's 'what the world does'

  by rosyray in

  2. friends

  i just discovered that the circuit assembly my family is attending tomorrow contains a symposium entitled:.

  help others to seek jehovah's righteousness: those who have become inactive.

  i poked around a bit on here and didn't find any comments about this.

  We had this yesterday. Basically, inactive ones have been dedicated and we need to show personal interest. They may have been stumbled by persons, or they are not understanding new bible teachings, or they are stressed with the pressures of life. "They may be quietly calling out to God, cast down, feeling disgraced. Organizationally and spiritually we are moving at light speed with new light, they may not understand".

  Oh, the big one, they may be hiding a sin and it's wearing on them Mentally. They said how we need to love them more, reach out to them. Then the age old assumption that inactive ones have no relationship with Jehovah, because one must be close to the Borg to be close to God. The brother said, " remind them walking in spirit will help them resist temptation".

  Question for those attending mid week

  by All for show in

  do you all know how many attend vs sundays?

  talking to friends and family all find it so boring/difficult to sit through they say their meeting midweek attendance is about 50 percent less than sundays, with at least 15 percent of those leaving at the half.

  we have had 3 local needs this year on staying the entire meeting, but people still leave, happily.

  Tech49... You're spot on with people's feelings of meeting boredom.

  Our hall has 97 publishers-- 88 on sunday and 64 on Tuesday with 5-12 leaving at the half.

  My goodness this is me. I started waking up a few months ago and ours is Saturday. I considered an excuse to not go and realized hubby was going despite. I figure it's better I'm there to hear and have good critical thinking questions for after. Ya know... So I can ' be on the watch' ha. Also... I'm going to play some games in my head, like a last days counter, Jesus mention, school is bad mention.... I can have some fun, that's what I'm trying to convince myself of. I really am curious to let you know the $cost we are assigned.
