  i have had several here tell me that if try to disassociate yourself from the org that you will be subject to shunning.

  The Govering Body....victims?

  by Preston in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the governing body... victims of the misinformation that has gone back many, many years?

  they might not be as entirely evil as many of you have pointed out.

  even hitler believed the misinformation that he so strongly promoted, an anti-semitism that stretched back centuries.

  Worried about my Dad in hospital :(

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we visited angharad's parents at the weekend and got a call on sunday night from her sister who'd been called by my sister as they hadn't been able to contact us .... the message was not a happy one:.

  my dad has had a heart attack and was in intensive care in hospital.. it was a while before i managed to speak to anyone over there with people probably out but i eventually spoke to his wife who says he's doing ok and has now been moved to the main ward but is being kept in as you would expect.

  he may have to be moved to calgary for some investigation / tests.. he had heart surgery about 15 years ago and i think 4 of his 5 bypasses have failed so he has to take quite a bit of medicine for pain and stuff.

  Let's meditate on these scriptures

  by YoYoMama in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  2 peter 2:1-22.

  2 however, there also came to be false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among you.

  these very ones will quietly bring in destructive sects and will disown even the owner that bought them, bringing speedy destruction upon themselves.

  Are witnesses getting lazy?

  by david_10 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thank you for the warm welcome i received when i made my first post last week.

  it is a beautiful christmas day here,more like early autumn than the beginning of winter.

  so i was a little surprised when i drove by my old kingdom hall a little after 9:00 am and saw that there were no cars parked in the lot----no one had met for field service.

  14 Minutes and you are not a Servant of Jehovah

  by JT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last night we were discussing the "new light" that was revealed to the gb recently from jehovah.

  many of us recall all the co talks and elder parts based on the bible text of how a true servant of jah would not be "inactive or irregular" for years one was required to have at least one hour to be considered a servant of jah.. as the sec in my hall i recall so many times calling up friends to get thier time and hearing them break crying cause they didn't have 60min only about 45min- and they knew that it meant they were not servants of jah.

  now with the new light from jw a person with only 14 minutes of time will now be disqualified as being a servant of jah.. it is amazing how many jw will view this arrangement as a "loving provision from jah" instead of realizing that thier service to thier god has been reduced to whether they get 15min or 14 min.

  2. friends

  i came here by chance...looking for none other than jw material:) i am currently studying with jw's and attend the kh but am not baptized, as are none of the members of my fam...yet.

  i've been studying for almost 4 years with the witnesses.

  i am confused...that's the simplest way of putting it.
