  9-15-02 WT Q re: Beroeans

  by abbagail in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hi undf'd or anyone with a copy of the 9-15-02 wt: i saw undf's comments in another thread (about non-dubs attending book studies), and undf'd mentioned:.

  the watchtower society hates the noble beroeans (from acts 17:10-12), so much in fact, that in their september 15th 2002 watchtower, they changed "be like the beroeans" into meaning "do not be like the beroeans"!

  ... acts 17:11: now these were more noble than those in thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.. .

  ANYONE JOINED A NEW RELIGION?

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those who have left the organization, have any of you gone to another church?

  or did being a jw simply turn you off religion altogether.

  i feel i would like to still belong to a religious group (that's just in my personality) but of course, i would feel really guilty at first going in to "babylon the great".

  DRESS TO IMPRESS?

  by bay64me in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most years, my old congregation would get asked for volunteers to clean and garden our assembly hall.. as you all well may have observed, at such occasions at your hall, all the youngsters would use this oppertunity to show the opposite sex, just what they looked like in their 'civvys' (leisure-wear) !.

  i knew one sister that used to make her own clothes and would make this, sort of andy-pandy suit.

  she would use some sort of candy-striped bed linen-sort-of-material, usually pastel coloured and make a kind of all-in-one romper-cum-knicker-bocker-pedal-pusher-number?

  Home From Vacation/Visited German Bethel

  by Dutchie in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my children and i just returned from a trip to germany where we visited my deceased husbands parents, his brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews, and assorted cousins, all of who are jehovahs witnesses.. before we left, the children and i agreed that since their grandparents were old people and not in good health, it would be an act of loving consideration not to cause them any further distress by announcing that we were no longer active in the congregation.

  so we went prepared to attend meetings, to go out in field service and to pretend that we were still die hard jehovahs witnesses.

  we packed the proper kingdom hall attire, suits, ties, ankle length dresses, as well as our bibles and songbooks.. i suppose to some this may seem the cowards way out, that i should have just announced our new status and let the chips fall where they may.
