Thats what I thought, words and no substance behind it.

why won't witnesses use tv or radio?

by moomanchu in

the radio was used extensively in the 1920's and 1930's.

by 1933 the society was using 403 radio stations to broadcast bible lectures.

later, the use of the radio was largely replaced by increased house-to-house visits by witnesses with portable phonographs and recorded bible talks.

Here are three of their public service announcements. http://www.jw-media.org/edu_videos/psa4_e.htm and http://www.jw-media.org/edu_videos/psa3_e.htm and http://www.jw-media.org/edu_videos/psa2_e.htm

"So Alone"

by scout575 in

"my dad died when i was 13, and my closest cousin got raped and stabbed and burned when i was 15. i am an only child so she was the closest thing i had to a sister.

i felt so alone too.

no one in the churches i attended seemed to care.

I agree with the others, you need to get out and keep yourself busy so as not to dwell on what has happened.

Mike your pictures are so awsome and really bring peace to my soul, please keep posting and sharing them.

Remember the JW murder of Kevin Foote - NYC

by ronin1 in

does anyone remember the intentional murder of a young jw brother named kevin foote.

he and his wife lived in queens, ny- they had a house in long island, ny, etc.. i was in the same pioneer class with kevin.

he was a very nice young brother who loved his wife and son dearly.

foundfreedom

I have never heard about him and his murder, what year did this take place? Such a sad and tragic thing to happen.

Wasted 1900 years for Jehovah???

by free2beme in

jw
friends

did everyone else get the impression from the witness teachings, that jehovah basically choose no one for the 144,000 heavenly class in the years from 100 ad to 1876 ad?

if so, did you feel this way because those years were never spoken of, or did the witnesses you know say this?

i personally asked one time, and was basically told that there may have been a few, but for the most part the numbers in those centuries were very limited and most were in pentecost and after russell began his work.

foundfreedom

I have always wondered and have asked the same kind of questions and received the answer that it was during the dark period of Christiananity. Doesnt make sinse does it.

jw farmers?

by carla in

jw
friends

are there many jw farmers?

i was wondering how they would balance all the farming chores with the life of a jw.

harvest (real, as in crops) time they are busy all day and night!

foundfreedom

The first 6yrs of my life my father farmed and we made all the meetings and always went out on the weekends. My cousins reg. pioneered and worked their farm, which was alot bigger than ours. The large work load never slowed us down, during harvest time they just make the meetings durning the week later in the evening so they have time to finish and get to the meeting. So some times the evening meetings didnt start till 8:00-9:00 pm.

Just have to vent about supposed full grown son

by restrangled in

i am so angry right now.

i'm trying to get the house, yard, and self ready for a one week trip tomorrow.

i just got a call from my 22 year old son who lives with us.

foundfreedom

I can really feel for you!! I have a 20yr old daughter that doesnt drive (and holds down 2 jobs, so guess who gets to drive her there and back? and I also hold down a full time 9hr job!

To top it off she is engaged to a canadian gentleman (non JW, and the shame of it! LOL she met him over the internet!!she was raised JW) that doesnt drive right now (they have lots of mass transet up there in Calgary) he just came down from Canada 2 days ago and my m-in-law is having fits when they are in the bedroom alone even though the door is open!!

to top it all off my family of 4 + the canadian are all living in my 74yr old mother-in-laws house (that really only holds 5 at the max) while our house sells and we can find another one to purchase. (had a nice huge home that we put money down on but lost it 3 days ago to someone that came up and offered cash) There are days that I could just pull my hair out!!!! We do so much for our kids and it never ends, we just keep giving and never get anything back for all of our hard work that we do for them!!!!

Then theres all the rest of life that we have to deal with!! just dont know how we do it all and still stay sane!!!!

Any one ready to go to the pavilion with me! LOL
