  Janet Jackson music award, she gave credit to which God for her success?

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in her acceptance speech she made her stance on the me too movement, and thanked god for her artistic career.

  she stand with women and with those men equally outraged by discrimination who support us in heart and mind.

  rebbie and mom (both jw) front row seats when she gave credit to her father for their success, no mention of mom and jehovah.

  I Went To My Brother’s Memorial Service at the Kingdom Hall

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have to say that the talk was very good.

  instead of just repeating a jw manual , the speaker actually spoke about my brother!

  there were a few scriptures with the jw hope but 80 % of the talk was actually about the life of my brother.

  If family leaves the memorial meeting to the organization they will get the stale organizational pitch.

  My personal experience is that if family wants the service to be personal, the family has to request it. One of the best ways to do that is to select who the speaker will be. Then spend a few minutes with the speaker to let him know that you want it to be personal.
  

  It can be done.

  Glad it worked out well in your case, min. Sorry to learn of the loss of your brother.

  Oh man! I usually look at the last post in a thread before commenting on a post in the middle.

  I knew better. And yet now I see that I stepped into a little poo.

  Oh well. I'm backing out of this post.

  Apologies to the OP.

  *scraping poo off my shoe*

  Rabbi Midge wrote: "...The story is basically a parable asking the Jews to reconsider their own views of uniqueness. Were we truly chosen by God to be his only people?..."

  Interesting.
  
  

  Rabbi Midge also wrote: All you had to do was trust your gut,
  

  Watchtower instilled in us over and over again to *not* 'trust our guts'.
  

  Thank you SOO much for taking time to comment on this thread. I really enjoyed reading your comments.

  advice please/data protection

  by Phoebe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have just received an email from an elder's wife regarding the new data protection laws.

  between the lines it sounds like she has been asked to contact me.. she says they 'don't want to leave me out' so they want me to fill out the form as 'i'm still part of the congregation'.

  also, my blood card needs updating, apparently.. the elder in charge will be in contact.. obviously, i'm not doing either, but what do i do?

  They will share it with everyone and anyone whenever they want.

  VERY good point.

  Terrifying to remember that some of us were very young children under guidance of our parents who believed this nonsense.

  GDPR: help for PIMOs

  by Fay Dehr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we urgently need to offer "resistance strategy" help to pimos who are likely to be harassed by elders seeking their consent for wtbt$ to leech their data.

  what questions could pimos ask elders, that elders would be unable to answer?

  (thus buying time, because elder would need to "check with branch").

  Shunning: Reasoning With JW's

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  perhaps this line of questioning could agitate a jw's thinking.

  it can't hurt.. you: is shunning a biblical teaching?.

  jw: yes.. you: so it must be god's law?.

  My response to this now is: Jesus wouldn't do it.
