Welcome Question1 I remember a WT study back in the seventies on peace and security and still remember some of the comments. It was just after the end of the Viet nam war. everybody thought that was a sign of the end. That was over 35 years ago.

Upcoming Elders Schooling
by Questions1 init's no secret that the "organization" has increased it's cia, national security clerance only super-secret attitude in regards to the elder school that is going to be conducted soon.
a few days ago, i had a conversation with an elder who has been in the fold all of his life practically.
in keeping with the conversation style of jws, the gentleman told me that nobody knows what exactly will be taught at the meetings, but in his backdoor conversations with some brothers who seem to be tuned into the bethel's officially, unofficial, communications network, the elders are going to be taught "post-armageddon" teachings.

An old couple who live in our seniors building, they are in their eighties and have no children. He has been an elder since the arrangement came in, in the early seventies. They never miss a meeting or service arrangement. They are real diehard JW's. He was our PO when I left 28 years ago. Still think they will survive until the big A.

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?
by Black Man ini often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

Disfellowshipped
by LadyCCC iniam now as what was announced at a recent meeting that iam "no longer a jehovah's witness" all of my family and friends are witnesses so this will ailenate me from all of my friends and family.
but i feel like i don't want to go back.
i really hate the feeling of isolation and shamefulness while iam sitting in the meeting, what's the point of it all.

dad hates letter telling him I will no longer use NWT-RASH....and...
by oompa inas you know dad there are many, many things in the hebrew scriptures that have always troubled me about gods dealings with man.
these type of things make it difficult for me to not only draw close to him, but make me question if i could really worship him.
over and over i have been taught he is always just, he is love....and yet he had laws that allowed young girls to be raped by a man and then she actually had the privilege of marrying her rapist...if she was not engaged.
