Sour Grapes
They don't sugar coat once you're inside !
I'm inactive and heard a talk by an Elder as to what happens to inactive baptized members: ''Any brother or sister who is inactive while Armageddon arrives will not enter the new earth.''

This is the best topic ever on JWN!
I was baptized in 1976 at the age of 14. That means close to 35 years following the ever- changing WTBTS. Here's what I've noticed throughout these years:
Everything is volunteered: elders,ministerial servants,cleaning of all kingdom halls and conventions,placing all books and magazines in field service and quick builds of kingdom halls and assembly halls
Too many books and magazines-The WTS sells all reading material to members .....who then go door to door on their own time, wasting their own gas...who are required to hand in a time slip every month making sure everyone makes quota of 10 hours a month
Releashing new books at every convention-treat these books like a Mary Kay convention where members purchase for themselves and family
District and Circuit Overseers-men who follow company rules,pass them onto Elders who pass them on congregation members
Make everyone live in fear and demand unity

FROM THE DESK OF THE WTBTS
Dear Brother Minimus,
We received your letter dated March 17,2011 where you state that you would like to come back to our spiritual meetings. We are a loving organization that follows the fine teachings of the ''faithful and discreet slave.'' We believe in forgiving our fellow members but in your case we have to turn down your request.
We have followed you on JWN for years where you have a post count of 35,037. Where do you find all this time? We also have found many topics that you have posted as to being very troubling!
Such as the following Topics :
Can a Christain belong to a nudist camp?
I know alot of dumb elders!
Brain dead kingdumb witnesses!
Being in this religion is like being in a gang!
We feel that it is not the time for your return to our fine organization. You may dispute this in person on April 01,2011.
YOUR LOVING BROTHERS FROM THE WTBTS

I went to the Sunday Public talk last week. The brother lead the prayer by saying.....''Jehovah....please help all the brothers and sisters in Japan who are in this difficult time who not only are going through an earthquake but also a tsunami.''
What about the rest of the population? Why weren't they mentioned in the prayer? What about the example of the "good samaritan"?

From what I've been told she has no money. She came in last week to make all the plans for a summer wedding. I've heard that she picked out all the furniture,paint colors,and where they will honeymoon. She looks like she'll be wearing the pants in his house.
As far as to the risk he's taking,that will be his problem. He's a diehard witness. He's been known to call my wife ''worldly'' because she's never been a Witness.

Remember all the wedding talks about having Jehovah as the third cord? When my wife and I got married,many Witnesses refused to come to our Wedding because she wasn't a baptized witness. Twenty years later we're still married while 6 couples in my congregation who had Jehovah as the third cord divorced.

CHASE
This passage from Ecclesiastes 4:12 illustrates the importance of Christian companionship. Two Christians that are bound together in Christ are stronger than the individuals themselves. We believe that Christian marriage is about more than the union of one man and one woman. The Bible teaches us that God performs a miracle in our marriage, uniting us together in a covenant relationship with Him as one. The Cord of Three Strands is a symbol of that sacred union created on your wedding day.

My cousin went to Canada in February to meet a Witness sister who is scriptually divorced from her husband. They found that they liked each other enough to continue a relationship.. ( He lives in the United States) He went back to Canada 19 days later to ask her in marriage.(She said..... YES!)
Here is our conversation:
Cousin: Did you hear the news?
Me: Yes! You met a sister in Canada. I'm happy for you!
Cousin: Actually, I went there to ask her if she would like to get married!
Me: Wow! .......Isn't that kind of soon? You only met her less than a month ago!
Cousin : Well...it's kind of hard to date someone that lives so far away. I found that she is a really good spiritual sister.We know that everything will work out if Jehovah is in the middle!
Me : That's good! But haven't you seen all the divorces in our congregation? There's been at least 6 divorces in our congregation alone.They all had Jehovah in the middle!
Cousin: They had Jehovah in the middle but never made him the third cord!
Me: People who marry in the same religion divorce just as much as couples who have different faiths!
Cousin: That's true! But,the only Jehovah's Witnesses who divorce are brothers or sisters who don't make Jehovah their third cord. They really weren't true Witnesses if they divorce!
HOPE THIS MARRIAGE LASTS!
