  "John Doe wants to be your friend" (Facebook) He died 2 1/2 years ago!

  i just joined a few days ago and the topic is true.

  john (not his real name) is my wife's nephew and got killed in a road accident 2 1/2 years ago.. i've therefore come to the conclusion that most folks wanting me to be their friend are simply a computer algorithm, that my feeling bad by not answering their plea would hurt their feelings and risk our friendship, is not founded on reality.. on another topic, one question that i have is: if i search for a person on facebook does that person somehow learn that i did a search for him?.

  my son, who is a facebook expert, of sorts, says no.. what say you?.

  Your concerns, Stan, have been my concerns as well. Sorry about that cousin of yours.

  actually--he had 10 extra years of life--he suffered from a serious heart condition--ending up with a heart / lung transplant at Papworth Hospital UK

  in that extra 10 years--he re-married and returned to work.

  Just a pity we didnt meet up in person since his childhood.

  i had been concerned about people knowing i had done a facebook search for them..people i knew many years before: but if they do find out--they can approach me if they want to.

  one embarrassing thing happened a few months back:

  a birthday notification appeared on my fbook--a cousin i hadnt seen since his childood--we occasionally chatted on fbook. I wished him a happy birthday. His older brother ( my age ) replied that he had died the previous year. I never knew.

  JWs getting into film production what could go wrong

  by mickbobcat in

  so the cult is getting into film production.

  i saw evans piece on the jws opening a studio in australia.

  one thing i see is if they use the people who are drawn to acting one they will create internal stars.

  Looking Back Were There Any “Apostates” In Your Congregation?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember knowing some jws that expressed their own personal viewpoints regarding what a scripture meant that was at odds with society teachings.

  in the 60 and 70’s, that was pretty much tolerated until the great purge in 1979 and 1980. as a matter of fact, it wasn’t unusual for witnesses to get together and discuss personal questions and viewpoints they might have.

  it wasn’t unusual to send letters to the society asking what was considered the right or wrong view.

  Amazing that they sought you out when you weren’t associated for years!

  well--my wife was a regular dub--dragging our kids along.

  they didnt take too kindly to the fact i had started an affaire with one of the married sisters--whom they did d/f for her misdemeanor.

  Me. Apparently it was announced in jan 81 that i couldnt be d/f for wrong doing as i hadnt been a dub for years--but i was now an apostate and should be shunned by the congregation. I had no idea what it meant at the time.

  The Bible speaks of the "Unforgivable Sin" ? What is it ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do any jehovah`s witnesses or ex jehovah`s witnesses even know what that sin is ?.

  why is such a statement in the bible if its not identified what that sin is ?.

  were the authors of the book just playing with peoples heads ?

  Mexico: 2020 Census results released; bad news for the org?

  by Corney in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a decade ago, the 2010 census found there were 1,561,086 jehovah's witnesses in mexico (census page > tabular data > basic questionnaire > religion).

  and according to the recently released 2020 census results, the number of mexicans identifying as such has declined by 2% to 1,530,909. both figures greatly outnumber those reported by the organization (e.g., peak publishers: 710 thousands and 874 thousands respectively), which means the former ones include children and free-riders.

  for comparison, the total population has grown by 12%, the catholic, adventist (sda) and mormon (lds) populations - by 5%, 16% and 6% respectively.
