  Governing Blunders - Part 1

  by hillary_step in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i thought i would start a weekly column of wts inanity, inanity serious enough to have affected peoples perceptions and negatively changed their lives.. .

  one famous wts myth that i have heard uttered more times a minimus question is that ?women feel while men think?, did you ever wonder where the wts dug that thought up from?

  apparently from an unamed woman psychologist and the famous department of ?many authorities?

  When I was a little girl I calculated the time, and thought for sure that the new system would have been here by the time I was 22. i am 32. So i figured I 've lived on borrowed time for 10 years.

  Mom Says She Probably Won't Go To Daughter's Wedding If Off Pioneer List

  by minimus in

  1. jw

  my mother told me the other day that if push came to shove, she probably wouldn't go to my daughter's wedding if she knew she would be removed as a regular pioneer.

  she said that pioneering was something she chose to do over the last 40 plus years.

  if my daughter chose to marry an "unbeliever", then that was her decision.......obviously, some things are more important.

  True.

  but here is an example. I have never stopped talking to my cousins who are disfellowshipped. But my uncle did not talk to me when i was dis associated. My mom never stopped talking to me. And I did not live with her after I got diassociated. But my uncle does not talk to his kids. So It is a matter of concious. When my cousin Ian got married to his wife, his sisters (who are disfellowshipped)were at the wedding, but did not go to the reception. If an elder is going to your daughters wedding, then it is not against his concious( i cant spell). I do not know what your mom's hang up would be, but its her, not Jehovah's people. If that were the case, the Elder would not be there. When one of my cousins got married to a non believer, they just couldnt get married at the hall. But everyone from the hall went. Just like a young man who married his girlfriend at this hall, everyone went. So i really think your mom just has her concious struggles. Maybe the elder who is going could talk to her?

  thanks for reading all this.

  FDS Sends Convention Delegates Packin'

  jehovah's witness across north america are being sternly counseled at this week's service meeting that they should pack lunches during the 2004 dictrict convention instead of leaving the site to eat elsewere or return with food.

  in a letter read during the announcements, members are told this is a "serious problem".

  reportedly jws have been banned from some convention locations because the venues want concession stand business if jws insist on bringing carry-out meals into the facility.

  We have always been encouraged to pack our lunch, since packing became the thing to do. They make a point when they say if we leave then we miss out on fellowship with the brothers and sisters. Plus we went to our circuit assembly in April, and we ate out, and the place was full of cigerette smoke, and we left reaking. My 2nd daughter was so embarresed, because even though my chldrens father is not in the truth we are not a smoking family. No one at all smokes. So She was horrified.

  New Wave JW's . . . I sort of got a chuckle out of this one.

  2. beliefs

  the apostates over at e-watchman's forum are dillusional .

  first class spiritual nutjobs, if you will.

  we know they do not consider themselves to be apostate, but they believe they will do the most good by staying in the organization so that when the foundations of the society are shaken, and they believe it will happen soon, they will be there to aid and comfort the jw's who don't know what to do or where to go.

  You do know that no one gets das associated anymore, right? Not since 1988-89. Somewhere in there. Only if you are baptized, and gave your life to Jehovah, then if you comit unrepented sin, then you are disfellowshipped. Gidget girl.

  I also want to say, that it is very scary to know that someone who is recently baptized is really an apostate. If you are waiting for people to fall to snatch them up, that's not loving. Thats sneaky. It makes for unsettling feelings. Gidgetgirl.
