May good memories of her give you comfort.
Once disfellowshipped or faded, one ceases to exist for the active JW. Sad. True love for sure, don't you think?
Certainly the high price paid for stepping out of the JW world.

Meeting changes - just sad, pathetic
by sir82 inok, so let's say you're on the gb.
for years, you've been getting hundreds of reports from your hired ss agents, er, cos, about poor midweek meeting attendance, people not showing up for talks, crappy teaching from elders, etc.. so, you make the determination - ok!
here's a couple of choices:.

In the Spanish side, we are dumbfounded and not too happy at all. Why the drastic changes?

Are Circuit Overseers next?
by Londo111 inlast year saw the elimination of the district overseer...and circuit overseers now must retire at 70. how long until the circuit overseer is no more?
of course, the role might still exist, they would simply not get paid.
they would have to care for their own expenses.

It's all about the money Lebowski!!!
I used to practice the 'green' handshake. One of the many practices ceased since learning TTATT. I know my gullible hubby, hardcore JW, does the 'green' handshake thing every time the CO shows up.
Oh, and another thing, during the assemblies at the elders' meeting there is a collection of money to cover the Society invited speaker's expenses, travel and all. Crazy!!!

COs are such a heavy burden on the congs! I mean they get all their needs/expenses covered by the cong they visit that week. Their fancy food shopping at health stores is not cheap, among many other stuff.
It would be refreshing to have them work at least a part-time gig to help with their upkeep. If this transpired, one would see quite a few quit. They enjoy a bit much their rock star status and the endless 'green' handshakes.
Wishful thinking for now!

How will many JW's react ?
by Phizzy ini did not believe i would see the demise of the wt in my lifetime, and maybe i will not, they may be able to ride out their present problems.. but how do you think this will affect the average, loyal, believing jw ?.
usually most things just wash over them, if there is a slight niggle, they use their well-worn way of explaining things to themselves as in "the end is near" or "jehovah knows best" etc etc.
but the huge sea-change in corporate policy that we see unfolding, all construction work stopped, except warwick and maybe their biggest project, chelmsford u.k. huge bethel layoffs, and the lifestyle of the remaining staff reduced to virtual slavery, more bethel closures, spiritual food reduced for the public as well as the r&f, and all of this being the opposite of what they have claimed was evidence of jehovah's blessing ???.

In the Spanish cong I attend whatever change will be received as all others have: Joyfully; then we will go to some party, beach or gathering at someone's house over the weekend where there will be rich food, drinks, games and dancing.

I hope the letter about deleting the Theocratic school is true.
by John Aquila inyesterday i was with a group of brothers that wanted my advice on re-roofing a home.
three of them were ministerial servants.
all of them are from the spanish congregation.

The change will be viewed as a provision from Jehovah and will be received happily.
I will not make a hit of difference to me as the damn meeting is still almost 2 hours long. It would make me happy if it was reduced to 1 hour, and the Sunday meeting too, and the big assembly 2 days, 10 am to 3 pm. Enough!
I will keep my dream alive.
