I extremely pleased to hear a CO talk about this very issue. He said the best thing to do would be to help out that person, either with food or monetarily. First, take care of physical needs then, spiritual needs. :)

How do the elders deal with a very poor brother or sister?
by JH inlets say a brother or sister loses their job, falls on welfare, doesn't have enough to eat.
what do the elders do?
a) tell them that the organization is not a place to beg but to preach, to give and not to receive.

I'm much more looking forward to our Lord's Second Coming, something the JWs have distorted by making it a secretive presence. -

Hi Blondie, thanks for the review. A comment was made in regards to Israel no longer being special in God's plans. Therefore, the war between Israel and Hezzbollah has no defining impact.

Elders/MS, what would you do?
by Sacchiel ini understand there are active elders and ministerial servants on these boards.
if a witness spoke with you in private about doubts/questions they have about wts doctrine or the like, would you encourage that person to continue investigating?
what if that witness outright declared the organization as a wicked or not directed by god?.

I've been curious to see if some people are just waiting for others to join in, as not to leave on their own. Would you even admit that you too suspect this organization is not from God? Or that you have been researching it as well? Thanks everyone! -

Perhaps I'll come to you!

Arrogance? When will we humans learn we are not the center of everything?
by mavie inwe humans are an arrogant, anthropocentric species.
ptolemy posited that the earth was the center of the universe.
once copernicus began to show that the sun, not earth, was at the center of our solar system, some still believed that the sun at least was the center of the universe.

I don't think one could say that "the majority of stars are approximately 80% less the mass of ours". It would mean that more than 50% of the stars are approximately 80% less the mass of the sun. But we have absolutely no idea how many stars there are in the universe. We are only able to see a very small fraction of the universe even with a sophisticated equipment.
It is the observable universe which is being discussed, otherwise it would be moot.

Ptolemy posited that the Earth was the center of the universe. Once Copernicus began to show that the Sun, not Earth, was at the center of our solar system, some still believed that the Sun at least was the center of the universe. Fast forward a few hundred years, our Sun has been shown to be an average star on the outskirts of an average galaxy. At least we still have the fact that humans are made in God's image, right? Enter Darwin and evolutionary biology.
Actually our Sun is rather uncommon. The Sun may not be the biggest star, but the majority of stars are approximately 80% less the mass of ours. The luminosity along with the composition is also unique for the age of the sun. The metals found far surpass other stars of the same age. Also, the Milky Way has best size, type, and mass distribution for physical life to exist.

Hi Blondie, thanks for the review. This study is intolerable! God knows all, simple as that. If God chose not to see something, wouldn't he know exactly what he's trying not to see?
That WT is lower than dirt!

What if they're right?
by LovesDubs indid that mentality keep you in fear and prevent you from leaving?
how many times were we told that the kingdom halls would be our ark and that we needed to keep going to the meetings so that we wouldnt miss the announcement that the great tribulation was beginning and the doors of the ark were closing...even though the bible says nobody knows the day or the hour?
did any of you ever pray for your relatives to die so they would have a ressurection and not be destroyed at armageddon?

If in my examination and search for truth, I would find it with them, then there would not be anything I would want more than to be a JW.
That is no longer a possibility since they are false prophets and want to stand in for our Lord and Saviour.
