i find it funny.
pretty sure someone who is anointed hasn't been disfellowshipped that many times or probably not even once.
i honestly don't care.
J_dash....so your dad has been d/f 5 times now.....is that a world record?

Read the whole of Isaiah 43. Get it in context.
jws don't say, "i am a jehovah's witness.".
instead, they say, "i am one of jehovah's witnesses.".
what does the second way of saying it convey that the first does not?.
If 2 dubs knock on your door...do they say " we are jehovahs witnesses" not " we are two of jehovahs witnesses".

so i got married a few weeks ago, living a great life now with my husband, he was definitely the perfect guy for me :) but anyways, we are going to work on slowly fading, going to meetings once a week or every two weeks, and then in a few months move to a hall where nobody knows our families and the elders hardly know each other, and fade out a lot more.
but an elder asked for our address, which we didn’t feel comfortable giving him, because we don’t want any unexpected visits to “shepard” us, when we miss a few meetings, because they already text us when we miss 2 meetings in a row, which we had just gotten back from our honeymoon 🙄 so we “accidentally” gave him the wrong apartment number.
so if they ever come pokin around they will be lost, and if they call or text us we will just have an excuse for not replying.
Tell them you have to keep your address secret because you are in the witness protection plan."
BRILLIANT!
so i’m just reading the part in ray franz book “crisis of conscience” about the 1925 prediction of “millions now living will never die”.. ofcourse all witnesses are very familiar with this campaign.
yet none of us ever had an issue with it, including myself.
since the booklet was published in 1920, we are one year away from 100 years from that time.
miilions then living--are now all dead.
when i was a faithful jw i was pretty much obsessed with the mormon religion.
to me it was like lord of the rings.
i knew the characters, the history, the events, the joseph smith stories, the religion's history etc etc etc and i long suspected even then that the watchtower society has been copying certain things from the lds church.. for example, the first thing i noticed was when the book study was dropped and family worship was started.
thats spooky--my previous comment ended "on the way out"
then OTWO turned up.
is it possible that anyone being truthful with themself can literally believe that there needs to be a cork placed in this problem.. if this continues, and most sources, not speaking about fox, are suggesting this is only going to get worse and at this rate there will be over 750k illegal migrants.
how are we suppose to sustain this influx.
the massive amounts of children flooding the schools in my own municipality is crippling, for many of the counties residents.. as an example the entire county offered free breakfast and lunch to all students.
In the UK. ..legal immigrants..from outside the EU..have to pass tests in English at increasing levels of proficiency as part of their 5 year settlement programme.

I was a 23 year old dub when the watchtower started "the elder arrangement" ...another copy from the Mormons.
I was on the way out by then.
