  when i was an unbeliving husband my ex had a serious health issue (cervical cancer) and lots of "sisters" would bring my three kids and i lots of meals.

  it was one of the things that really impressed me.

  anyone know if things like that are still done?

  Letters sent to elders signed anonymous?

  by bronzefist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recently had a well meaning friend give the po a letter concerning me.

  it was all about an incident i like to call "the picture heard around the world".

  it got me to thinking about the possibilty of someone sending the elders a letter without signing their name to it.

  i'm not criticizing anyone's decision to da themselves...just wondering what the advantages are.. if the whole da thing is something made up by the gb why make them happy by playing by their rules?

  how are they hurt by your decision?

  why not just walk away?

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thought i would share some notes i took from a talk the co gave at the hall i attended today for the last time.

  the talk was entitled ?act wisely in a senseless world.. .

  the gist of the talk was that we are being conned by everyone in this system of things.. no mention of anyone in the organization doing this.. ?are we willing victims??.

  Blood Directive card and the inactive

  by bronzefist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recently got a visit from the elders after 2 years of being inactive.

  my question is "has any of you fellow "inactivites" ever been offered a new bdc on a visit.. if the issue is so "ever lasting" life important wouldn't the elders at least ask if yours was up to date?

  that's assuming they are still handed out.. just asking cause i was in a serious car accident that made the local papers.

  i was told the reason for the guards was to prevent apostates from "attacking" anyone up there and disrupting the program.
