an elder told me the book is jehovah's latest provision to cleanse his organization.. he said soon all people that have drifted, inactives, and others baptized and not complying with the biblical mandates for a jw, will be visited and given an option to shape up or ship out.. he said that if the person refuses the help offered by the congregation they'll be notified of the date of disfellowshipping and given time to appeal the decision.. he was so happy stating that this way jehovah's organization was preparing for the final clean-up before armageddon.
he sounded so convincing that it almost made perfect sense what he was saying.
i got goose bumps listening to his reasoning.. dy
LOL -

Doesn't drifting/being inactive indicate that a person has already decided to ship out? Why bother visiting in the first place...
They sure have cornered the market on control tactics "SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT". ROFLOL
tonight i heard one of the most cruel and twisted comments i've ever heard at the platform.
the topic was the apocalypse and whether or not children will be slaughtered.
through one side of his mouth, the po stated that the bible is not clear on the matter, while out the other side he pointed to all those old testament accounts where children were killed.
Let's suppose that Armageddon came tomorrow, and you yourself don't survive. Who is supposed to raise your son, supposing that he did survive?
That is a good question Schizm.
Personally, I do not believe I would be destroyed if Armageddon came tomorrow. I am a Christian who loves and appreciates all that God has given us. I try to be the best person I can be and I also try to instill loving qualities in my children. We study the Bible together on a daily basis and we try to impliment what we learn in our lives as a family. God will certainly judge me and I believe him to be loving and kind.
Supposing Armageddon came tomorrow and I was destroyed, I believe there are those would be ready and willing to assist in caring for any child in need of a home just as my parents did when they adopted me. I in turn would be willing to take children in if need be. I also believe God can and will provide for all of his followers young and old. I am not worried about how he will do so.

I apologize for my previous post Valis... I was in the process of posting and had not read your post.
On the topic, anyone who says my son is going to be destroyed by God because I am no longer a JW is a fool who knows not what is in my son's heart.

Are you?
LOL - answering a question with a question is a great way of avoiding answering the question.
Yes, I am able to respond without criticism. That is why I am not the one being attacked from all sides in this thread. You are...
But then you'll probably just call that persecution

You're one smart SOB, Walter, you know that? The problem is that you don't know anything. You're a fool for having convinced yourself that you do.
Wow! Are you able to respond without criticism?

You're as wet behind the ears as Gumby, but a whole lot younger
Such a typical response from someone with a JW mindset. Just disregard someone's personal thoughts by frowning on his/her youth (1 Tim. 4:12).
I believe this post was regarding the JWs and their view that innocent young children will be destroyed at armageddon as a result of their parents actions. How silly is that. They do believe it. Heard it said more than once while I was in. Actually, I think you originally agreed that they believed it and they were wrong for believing it. So why then go and bash people for having opinions about that belief?
Personally, I don't thank the JWs or Christendom for Bible knowledge. I thank God for his Holy Spirit and his written word. That and Christ's sacrifice are all a Christian needs to be able to have a relationship with him. Why the JWs have to go and complicate things with their wild opinions is beyond me.

The WTS contrasts with the general practices of Christendom in many ways
So. What's your point? Just because they are different doesn't make them God's spirit appointed organization (assuming he even designated one).
i bought a new skirt and sweater to wear to the memorial tonight.
earlier, i saw a thread on here about 'irony', well, let me add this.
i bought my skirt and sweater at a church sale this morning.
Could dip the bread in some wine at home..
How clever you are!

If you really wanna do it all the way just have someone wash your feet for you before leaving and you wash his/hers. Then ensure the bread is unleavened and the wine unfermented.

fairchild:
So, I've decided to put a piece of bread in my pocket. Right after I pass the bread to the person next to me (without partaking), I am going to sneak the bread out of my pocket and eat it. Nobody will notice and I will feel as if I have done the right thing. I'd celebrate Easter at a regular church, but I am on a double shift on Easter Sunday and no way of getting out of it, so this is the only solution I can think of.
That sounds like a workable solution Probably not going to be able to wing it on the wine though...
I also found a neat little idea that families could do together as another nice alternative:
