How many meetings could you miss in a row and no questions asked?

by JH in

.

how many consecutive meetings could you miss without the elders making a funny face next time they saw you?.

usually if i missed 3 meetings in a row or if the elders didn't see me for a whole week, it would show on their face at the next meeting.. then if i attended 3 in a row, their smiles came back.

It's been at least a year since I've been to the meetings--no calls yet--some tell my husband to say "hi" to me--funny, those particular ones never talked to me when I was there!

The report on TV said her condition was the result of medication--must have been a bad reaction.

How Long Would They Last Without The Society?

by ThomasCovenant in

following on a little from 2 topics (xjw critical mass) and (the real reason jw's don't accept blood) sorry but don't know how to show the links, i got to thinking: .

if the society were to finish publishing and closed down because of say bankruptcy from lawsuits, how long do you think the worldwide brotherhood would last?.

i feel this is a good question to ask those still in.would they still worship jehovah without the rigmarole of 5 meetings, personal study and preaching work and the monthly kingdom ministry and other regular literature.

Aren't the kingdom halls owned by the society? If the society folded, I would imagine all the kingdom halls would be sold. Boy, that would be something especially when the kingdom halls have been viewed as a refuge from the "world".

Nearly Lost my Son Yesterday

i got a call from the ex, she was in tears, and said that our son was struck by car while riding his bike to work.

when i got to the er, he was lying there in the bed.

he was bruised & scratched.

I'm so happy that your son is okay! It's making me teary eyed thinking about what you've been thru. I have a son who is a fairly new driver and he saw an accident right in front of him a few weeks ago. Scared him--hope it makes him think about being careful.
