  I bet the WTBTS will outlive us all on this board at this time. Changing and evolving at each turn as time passes; sort of like the 'generation' change in 1995.

  It will just change colors like a chameleon.

  Recent study links processed meats to cancer

  by duc007az in

  so a recent study says processed meats are just as dangerous as cigarettes when it comes to cancer.

  the wtbs has had a long time stance that smoking is a df offense.

  my question is if there's proof beyond doubt, why doesn't the wtbs make eating processed meats a df offense?.

  Pledge for Global Assistance Arrangement - $15 per publisher!

  by nmthinker in

  last night our congregation read a letter for the global assistance arrangement combined with the traveling overseer assistance arrangement.

  the "recommended" amount was $15 per publisher, which was well over $1000 for our hall.. it seemed steep.

  our congregation does not have this type of money.

  And why the hell do they ask anyone opposed to raise their hand? As if it is going to change their already ordered resolution?

  Mother Org already said we need $15 per publisher and that is what your resolution will be!

  What a scam. Not a g-d red cent from me. Ever!!!

  Hello everyone! I am new here and want to tell you about myself - my bio

  grew up in east la in a bad neighborhood to a black mother and white father.

  i never knew my father because he died in a car accident when i was a few weeks old.

  my mother converted as a jw soon after when two sisters came to her door and offered her comfort, which was something she needed.

  Special Pioneer Couple Living at a Kingdom Hall In Miami FL, get the dreaded Letter

  by James Jack in

  just got a phone call from an older sister saying that a couple that got re-assigned from bethel 4 years ago to live at their kh apartment as special pioneers, just received a letter saying "as of january 2016, your special pioneer assignment will be discontinued".. they live in a south miami kh(snapper creek congregation).. this couple had only served in bethel for 15 years before they were sent out into the special pioneer work.

  they are now in their mid 50's and the sister said that they have to find part time jobs to support themselves.. the older sister (does not have a pc or internet), says that the couple are just devastated!

  Mid - Week Meeting This Week

  by xjwsrock in

  millie210 posted this on another thread - i thought it deserved it's own op:.

  i took an elderly friend to the meeting last night.

  the study is in the "imitate their faith" book which is merely a compilation of previous short stories about bible characters that were featured in a series of watchtower articles.. they waste no time beginning their spinning and supposition with the cain/abel story.

  This does not surprise me at all.

  In my cong, and the neighboring Spanish congs, I notice that the JWs are very disconnected to what the Org asks for; youngsters are encouraged and follow through with higher education, more than a couple date and some recently have married non-JWs, they skip service and meetings often. In the demeanor there is this air of rebellion and doing one's own thing. I love it.

  Thanks Internet!!!

  we are madly in love with each other and she is in the process of being divorced.

  let me make one thing clear i'm not the reason for the divorce.

  she attempted to reconcile with him but to no avail.

  Any JW that mixes romantically with a non-JW is not a 'true' JW; mixing up with non-JWs is a huge "no-no"! Unless you are willing to become a lukewarm JW yourself in the future, you better make things very clear with this person, or down the road the relationship will fail and create much misery in the case that children are involved.

  Protect yourself.
