  Disaster relief for Jehovah's Witnesses!? What a joke..........
  

  One of the best forms of 'relief' from the 'disaster' of being a Jehovah's Witness is to become a member of this forum.

  anyone else also hold this view or understand it at least, or do you feel the need to argue that both can in no way coexist?.

  YMCA?

  my husband's gone to his meeting and i'm catching up with folks here on our forum.

  i'm sure i'm having a better time :) anyway, was just following some posts regarding the un and there happened to be a copy of a magazine article stating brothers wouldn't want to be joining the "y" because it was "christian".

  i think this was back in the 1950's (maybe not).

  Dunedain..........perhaps you can get her local Elders to help this handicapped 'sister' join the United Nations. As a member, she will be entitled to a 'library card' where she can research new methods of therapy for her physical ailment. Who knows, the U.N. probably has it's own swimming pool and physical therapists on hand that she could take advantage of as a member for free.

  Personalities on the forum

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we've frequently discussed how forums are different from real life, yet many have developed close friendships through this and other boards.

  some posters are super friendly and personable and others just state their business and do not interact.

  i understand human nature and cannot be friends with everyone.

  "Desirous of change commented on the "signature" thread that signing one's real-life name, one's "signature", at the end of a post makes one seem more real in an otherwise anonymous setting" - compound complex. Actually, my real name is Mark but almost everyone calls me Sparky in my day to day dealings and I find using my 'nickname' here seems to be more personal and intimate than just being plain, old Mark. When I PM different ones here, I usually sign my real full name and also Sparky so the person can address me back any way that is comfortable for them. But I like the different 'nicknames' here such as 'compound complex' or 'millie210' or 'Village Idiot' or 'Blues Brother' because I feel that each poster is showing a more personal, intimate, quirky side of their personality by identifying themselves this way. Just my 2cents........

  Recent mistakes of the Governing Body contributing to the decline of JWs

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  they have made so many strategical mistakes it's hard to keep track.

  some changes within the last decade or so that are contributing to declining numbers of jws:.

  1. elimination of book study groups, the most informal, enjoyable and sociable of the jw meetings, contributed to loss of sense of community among jws.. 2. policy of consolidating kingdom halls.

  there is nothing wrong with accepting new ideas.

  even apostle paul changed his mind when he "saw the light".
