hi.. is anyone aware of the latest kingdom ministry article concerning the memorial invite campaign??
apparently, it says something along the lines of ......once this memorial season is over, our chance to praise jehovah will be gone forever..........is anyone else aware of this???
an end to door to door work????.
I agree with blondie. "Could" is like a perfect verb (adverb?) for the JWs. It injects uncertainty into any statement.
I wonder if this is going to be their new mantra: "This could be the last <insert lame dub event> before Armageddon!!! I know they said that to encourage people to come to the Memorial last year. Sounds like its becoming a common refrain.
explain the km thing to me will you?
why do they withhold it from some?
i would think it would help those 'weak' ones get their butts out there more, no?
We always used to get three KMs. When my sons got reproved, they no longer got one. Along with being labeled "bad associates", the no KM thing just shoved them further away. In hindsight, that's a good thing. It was sure confusing to me back when I was trying so hard to get them interested, though. The JWs go all ga-ga over strangers they meet door to door, but they cruelly reject people who are already half in.
When I started missing meetings and not turning in time, even though I was still nominally a "publisher", somehow they never had a KM for me any more. It just made it easier to drop the Thursday night meetings.

Yes, it must be. If it came from the WTS, its golden. You can rely on them. I mean, look at all the other stuff they predicted correctly. With a track record like their's who'd bet against them. Right?
the latest from brooklyn ( my mate in upper management ) i thought id share.. .
the watchtower is remaining bi monthly.
instead of both monthly offerings sharing same formats there is a change coming into action soon.
They will tell the JW's not to give this to those not coming to the meetings,
they will act like it is a privilege to get the study articles.
They did this with the Kingdom Ministries. I thought, at one time, that KMs were fairly plentiful and if you forgot yours at home it wasn't too much of a problem to get another copy. Then they became more scarce ...if you weren't attending meetings regularly or weren't in "good standing" you wouldn't get one. They no longer had extras on hand.
Once you get shunted to outsider status and are no longer deemed worthy to receive certain publications, it becomes hard to attend meetings. Even if you're sort of feeling like going to a meeting, why bother when you're made to feel like a leper who is not even allowed a copy of what they are studying.
Kind of cutting their own throats with this exclusivity bullshit. Good.

ain't no other man it's true .

Awww, so sweet and sappy! I like the idea of Richie as the flower girl.

I agree. I'm also glad you put your own face back up in your avatar.
i found this website a few days ago, and ive stayed up until 3 and 4 a.m. every night since reading the all-too-familiar stories.
i applaud you for sharing your stories and being so open and caring to others who venture onto this site.
i wish id had you 9 years ago when i was dfd.
Heartrending story, EM. Welcome to JWD!
not a big amount of trouble, only a little bit of trouble.
it's not like i'm going to be disfellowshipped or anything.
but would appreciate some information anyway!
Scully and Darth Frosty make an interesting point. You could go on the offensive, call the elders yourself, tell them that you are highly offended that Brother Jerkbot insinuated that you'd molest a child, and demand an apology.
What do they say?...the best defense is a good offense? Something like that.
my wife bought me a pool que stick for my birthday.
my brother and i play a few games before we bowl on mondays.
the ones at the bowling alley aren't very good and most of them are damaged in some way.
Happy Birthday, Ken! Seems like you've had a tough year in many ways. Here's hoping for good things this year.
i have plenty to spare!!!!
(and will have for quite some time!).
maybe you have heard about upstate ny 's oswego county!
Annie, so glad you and the Mr. are alright! I knew you were in New York but I didn't realize it was in lake-effect snow country. I don't even want to contemplate 88-120" of snow. I sure hope it stops soon.
there were guys at bethel, who had great jobs........like don brouex.....he was the receptionist at the 124 desk....checking in and "checking out" ......all the bethel tours and "hot" sisters......on there way through the "home tour"............that my friend, is not a real bethel job.. there were guys at bethel, that had great congergations with maybe only 2-4 bethelities in their halls.
one hall, midtown had over 80 bethelites there.............. 3 old ladies 4 kids and a dog.
odds of getting a home cook meal on sunday 0%.
New Boy, I look for your next installment every morning. Always makes me smile. Thank you.
JT, love the G-jobbin' stories too!
