Welcome to JWN. Look around. Read Blondies weekly series: Comments you will NOT hear at the Watchtower Study. That will at least catch you up on the Sunday meetings.

milwaukee, wi, born and raised!

but leaving in two years.

About 5 or 6 years ago, it seemed that half the board was from either Texas or Wisconsin.

There were some well-publicized Apostafests in both areas.

Seems that most of the old Wisconsin people don't post much anymore but here is link to one of the Apostacheesefests:

If you are hoping to meet up with some on this board, you may want to consider re-posting under the heading of 'Get-Togethers and Apostafests' or asking a moderator to move this thread to that section. Threads like this one often get buried quickly and once buried rarely come back to the top of active topics. However, when others are looking to meet up with posters near them or when travelling, they can go to the 'Get-Together' section and see who is nearby.

I've done it myself many times with happy results!

my story, would like some advice

by deservingone26 in

im looking for some advice.. so i grew up as a witness was baptized when i was seventeen, which by the way i was pushed into baptizm cuse my parents kept asking me when i was and threatned to not buy me a car if i didnt get baptized.

since it was never in my heart i was never very dedicated and was disfellowshipped by nineteen i started the process of coming back but after bout four months i moved out.

i started partying alot mainly with my other disfellowshipped friends and nonactive jw frien, we were drinking alot and smoking weed but soon i started feeling the need to go back so i started up at the meetings but i got bored and went back to my old ways, this has been what i have been doing for the last five years, partying getting drunk and drugs and then stopping and going back to the meetings for a couple months, the same process for last the last almost five years.

alot of the exjws youtubers are bornagain

Alot are born again.

Alot consider themselves athiests.

Many get involved in self-destructive behaviors.

But I really think that MOST just get busy living good and interesting lives.

I hope you find a path that makes your life good for you.

Welcome to JWN. This is a really good place to sort out all things JW-related.

From imdb.com (search Don Kirschner):

Don Kirshner, record producer and TV host, dies at 76

1 hour ago | Zap2It - The Dish Rag | See recent Zap2It - The Dish Rag news »

The man who produced countless hit records and helped introduce The Monkees to the world has passed away.

The New York Times reports Don Kirshner died of heart failure on Jan. 17 in Boca Raton, Florida. He was 76.

Working with artists such as Carole King and Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, Kirshner might be best known for the better part of a decade he spent on camera. He was the producer and host of ABC's "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert" -- an Ed Sullivan for a different generation.

Guests on "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert," which ran from 1973 to 1981 included Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers, David Bowie and the Rolling Stones. »

I used to watch "Don Kirschner's Rock Concert" when I was babysitting in the mid-70's. Wasn't allowed to watch it at home.

elpiro.

this is sorta directed to you as asking rather then telling... i am studying the bible and go to many teachers/sources of the bible... (my sins are being paid for and thus my credit as a christian in no way is held high enough to make claims of im right or your wrong in the eyes of a jw, but im still being humble and live now according to gods standards with my study in the bible and christian believes, so be open minded to the facts of my credit to your idea of standards) my views are expressed below thru use of the bible regarding the comment you made on this thread.... .

Looks like she *did* get some decent comments on the other thread, though.

Questions for Doubtfully yours or Elpiro - The happy annointed Jehovah's Witness

by Hoffnung in

jw
friends

hello doubtfully yours or el piro or other happy jw,.

there are 4 questions for you.

1. the issue i have is with paragraphs 1 & 8 of the study article on page 21 of the 15/09/2010 watchtower.

AudeSapere

2. Jesus commanded all christians to participate from the bread and the wine during the memorial, this command was repeated by Paul, and in John 6:53 and surrounding verses, Jesus made it an absolute condition for salvation. So why are JW teaching that you should abstain? Is this not barring the access to salvation?

2b. 1 Cor. 11:26 states: “For as often as you eat this loaf and drink this cup, you keep proclaiming the death of the Lord, until he arrives.” If Jesus came invisibly almost 100 years ago in 1914, why keep doing it now? Is that going beyond the things written?

This was one of the questions I asked years before starting my fade. The only response I ever got was furrowed eyebrows and scornful look as if to say ' Why would ask a question like that??'
