  Disfellowshipping Image

  by naazira in

  this photo can be found in the april 15 , study edition article titled:.

  why disfellowshipping is a loving provision.

  just by looking at this image we can see how quickly the barrier between the congregation and former member is put up, after the announcement that this sister is no longer one of jehovah's witneses.

  i think the OP would be a good comment at the watchtower.. right before you quit... drop microphone and walk out.

  Cart Witnessing - Thrilling! Productive! Epic! Er.....um, well, not so much.....

  by sir82 in

  talked with a pioneer recently, she was recounting her first experience with cart witnessing.. she brought the subject up, was going on & on & on & on about how wonderful the experience was, and how great, and how she enjoyed it so much, and it was so wonderful, and oh jehovah's blessing, and on and on and on...... a few questions to her revealed what really happened:.

  -- a jw who owns a small restaurant in a strip mall allows jws to set up their cart outside his restaurant.

  -- the restaurant is tucked pretty far out of the way, not prominent at all.

  How long until the "Generation" gets Revised/Dropped?

  by Lemonp in

  if you don't already know this; the latest revision of the insight book has no mention of the "overlapping generation" bs online library, insight book .

  obviously that change will not bee seen by the vast majority of people, so when will this "brighter light" shine through in a wt or assembly talk?

  predictions?.

  Paradise is going to suck!

  by WasOnceBlind in

  1. watchtower

  once you really start thinking about it, the whole paradise idea is kind of depressing.

  i remember growing up as kids my sister was the first to tell my parents (admittedly very courageously) that she wasn't sure she wanted to live in paradise, it sounded boring living forever.

  i thought she was dumb for thinking that, i mean playing with lions!!!!

  then everybody will be good at everything and life will be boring... i'd be like a homeless person just looking for some drugs... unless living forever is like a nice constant high... then i'd just roam the universe.. i guess that coudl be fun.. but must be high.

  CAH closing down in upstate NY

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  yet another circuit assembly hall is going to be sold off!.

  they've been reducing the amount of congregations assigned to meet there and using the times when it isn't in use to make repairs.

  elders have now been informed that they are selling off the property and buildings and that circuits would be assigned to attend other sites, twice as far, three or four hours away, like montreal.

  As a teenager in the early 90's even as I was getting ready to be baptized, I did not believe and I did not want to live in paradise forever... it is weird... I just wanted a good life in this world.... the perfect world did not appeal to me at all... yet I got baptized to make my family happy and find a girlfriend :)

  so i started working at this place 4 years ago.. and i am usually myself a still-in inactive atheist jw at work.

  after several months i came to realize the guy i work with is a devout jw... im always afraid of running into him in the conventions.. he is in a different circuit but im afraid he might show up in one of the district conventions.. i am dreading that day...
