many of us are familiar with the theme of this years district convention, "deliverance at hand".
i don't know if the publication release has been leaked yet, but i thought it might be fun to speculate about what it possibly could be.
i'll start it off... .
I heard that the keynote address was entitled; "Millions Now Living Have Left the Borg"
that was the comment that a former elder made at the local meeting today in his comment.
evidently, he and his wife heard a bethel speaker's comment during his talk say that (i believe the figure was) 167,000 people did not get disfellowshipped but simply left.
the ex-elder made it a point to say that the elders should be watching to help out the flock before they up and leave.
it will be interesting to see how they either bury those numbers, or somehow manipulate the data on their bogus annual report.
i have been following the board from a distance for a while, and have finally decided to come aboard ig y'all will have me... .
i was a third generation jw, did the elder thing, rasied two sons in the troof......both are out now, and we've never been closer.. .
is it me, or does it look weirder and weirder the longer you've been away??.
hello everyone,
I have been following the board from a distance for a while, and have finally decided to come aboard ig y'all will have me..
i was a third generation JW, did the elder thing, rasied two sons in the troof......both are out now, and we've never been closer.
is it me, or does it look weirder and weirder the longer you've been away??
well, happy holiday season to all, and i look forward to chatting with you all soon.
new creation
i've been out of the wts for over 20 years now.
some things i have kept and many i have left behind.
the things i have kept sustain me.
excellent topic! hello from a newby! been watching from afar for some time, and finally decided to come aboard if you'll have me...
what I've learned??? This: The Power of Now"...that life is lived in the moment. not to agonize over failures and bad choices in the past...or to worry and lose sleep about what might or might not happen in the future.
Today, I helped out at my granddaughters class as they made the most wonderful gingerbread houses for Christmas....It was nothing lesss than magical to see those innocent, beautiful children creating the most beautiful works of art that I have ever seen...Truly an experience I will never forget!
Also I have learned that there is a Creator....and being created in his image, I believe we were created to create. and play..and have some fun in life. I've learned that there is a lot of love in the world, that there are many paths to God.....and that there are miracles today...I am one. I am a survivor, and I am thankful to God for that. I have learned to live in gratitude for all the blessings in life, all the gifts from God.
I bless those of my family that have chosen to stay behind in the controlling confines of the Borg...but I also know that they have free choice, and if that is the path they have chosen, so be it.
May you all have a safe and happy holiday season..
New Creation
