  Meeting schedule rearranged...WHY?

  by sir82 in

  official speculation thread.... even if a reason is given for the meeting rearrangement when it is announced on 4/27, we all know how the society spins things (e.g., awake magazine being reduced to one issue per month to "put more emphasis on the bible" real reason.. .

  so why is the society doing this?

  on the surface, it seems to be a loosening of control.

  lots of 'worldly humans look back with affection and positive emotion at their past life and loves and adventures!

  this is especially true for periods in life humans have often devoted themselves to!.

  it is lovely to see and hear ones with natural experiences and happiness to relate!.

  i just got off the phone with my sister-in-law.

  we don't talk regularly at all - but today the discussion turned to our beliefs.

  she's da'd herself 15 years ago, but she is still filled with guilt over not being able to live up to the standards of the witnesses.

  Reinstatement to inactivity.

  by R.F. in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a person is disfellowshipped, works hard to get reinstated and once they finally are, they go straight to inactivity and you almost never see them in the kingdom hall again.

  when i was an active jw i couldn't understand why a person would go through the process of reinstatement only to become inactive.

  i understand why now .
