  My Father passed away during the night

  by jwfacts in

  dad was a great man, great, despite the religion.

  he was powerful, tall and intelligent, yet humble and kind.

  he was an introvert, and a circuit overseer.

  Hello Paul. I am very sorry to hear about your father's passing. Too young, too soon.

  School for Congregation Elders

  i attended the school late last year, and it was an emotional and mental rollercoaster for me.

  i was already divided in my heart to say the least.

  one of the instructors stayed in my home for the week, and my family genuinely enjoyed his company.

  "Simplifying". As mentioned above, cutting out the "public" Watchtower makes the best sense. Watchtower to control the flow of info. Awake to market to the public.

  i was given the link to a bit of information regarding on old poster/moderator of this forum.

  i was not sure of the validity of the information so have been trying to find out if it is true.. earlier today craig's estranged wife, kate, (bikerchic) confirmed that craig died at his home on aug 10, 2011.. i am sure that many people here remember craig's time here and how he went out of his way to offer support to posters, even calling them, to give whatever help he could as they adjusted to their post-jw lives.. i know many people here will grieve his loss.. --------------.

  ps i tried posting this earlier but the computer i was working with would not allow the posts.

  I just scanned his posts, and read what he had written about his life story. I don't think he finished it. Does anyone know why he and biker chic both stopped posting or commenting 3 years ago?

  Oct. 15th WT - Who Should be your Friend to Associate & Recreate With ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with many of us here on jwn in a fading state trying to stay halfway connected to jw relatives - i thought it would be informative and helpful to know what the wt society is telling jehovah's witnesses about who or who should not be their close friends.

  so if you experience even more shunning than normal - this article may be influencing some jw's to do this.

  you won't find any new information here- but the wt society is definitely trying to control who witnesses hang out with.. in the article " is your recreation beneficial " ?

  Sounds like they are helping our fade along. The less we associate, the less splainin' we have to do. Thank you GB.

  it is pretty obvious when some posters get most....animated?

  it is always later in the day, cocktail hour, especially weekends.

  but my question is this:.

  According the WT, how many “comings” or “returns” of Christ are there?

  by cyberguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  according the wt, how many comings or returns of christ are there?

  and the follow-up question is: how many comings of christ are actually indicated in the scriptures?

  (yes, we can debate for days, needlessly, concerning the 1914-calculus, but the truth is so much simpler than this!

  Hey Alfred, I think he told only the Apostles (Annointed) to "keep doing this". Correct?

  i truly hope you don't get trite, cliche, anecdotal, or sarcastic, but share with us what you really believe/feel/think.

  i will start: for me, i define "success" as peace of mind.

  mine.
