Question for those still attending the Kingdom Hall

this a question more out of curiosity, because we have not stepped foot in a kh in 3 years.. how is the attendance at the meetings/assemblies?

i know the answer will vary due to location.. are you (especially elders) receiving any notification or communication from bethel or co's that there is an upsurge of people that are simply disappearing or out right dis associating?.

thanks, in advance, for your feedback!

ToesUp

Keep em coming. Inquiring minds want to know!

Would you have married your spouse if you weren't both JWs?

ok, i've had some wine, but i'm curious.

objectively speaking, but for the religion, did you have enough in common with your spouse to have met and married as non believers?

ToesUp

Definitely...Yes. Great guy. Wonderful person, father and husband.

Gross! Grooming of young brothers in the KH to do more for Jehobadahhh and his organ-nigh-say-shun! I saw it myself.

so there is this young brother probably 14 or 15 and the elders are already grooming him to do more for jehobadahhh.

most of the elders in this kh are old like 60+ and sometimes there are not enough brothers to do the mics or sound so you will see a 70 year old elder forced into action.

almost comical to see a brother who thinks instagram is an email service try to operate the sound system and projector as he plays the wrong song or brings the screen down during a prayer.

ToesUp

No one is reaching out. Soon they will be making 14-15 year old Elders. lol

Worthy of imitation?

by stuckinarut2 in

the society says that ancient biblical characters (and their faith) are worthy of imitation right?.

so let's start a list of examples:.

- lot.

I never understood how David did all of those evil deeds and was forgiven over and over again. Jehovah did not strike him dead but Lots wife did the simple act of turning to look at her possessions being destroyed and BAM...dead on the spot. I guess it's all in WHO you are. Nothing different in JW world. It's all in WHO you are.
