  My 20 year old JW brother is dating a 30 year old sister - should I worry?

  by nicolaou in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i just found out yesterday.

  i remember the girl from my 'past life' when she was still at school - she's nice, but i hear that she's been in a couple of relationships that didn't work out.

  thing is, the dub version of a 'courtship' that doesn't work out is when it doesn't end in marriage!

  What JW Things or Beliefs Never Really Interested You?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i never cared about chronology.

  i was never interested in stupid convoluted explanations about dates or how a scripture in revelation applied to the anointed.

  it was always bs to me.

  August KM provides solid evidence of declining JW morale

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as you may or may not recall, the february '07 km (for the us) had a huge article, taking up the full 4 page insert, on the "blessings" of auxiliary pioneering.

  the part covering that insert took up the entire service meeting (aside form the announcements).

  the "encouragement" was that the us branch had set a goal of 160,000 auxiliary pioneers for the month of april ("if only one of every 6 publishers signs up, we can make it!")..

  30 Minute Public Talk-CONFIRMED

  by stillajwexelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i can confirm (as there seems to be some doubt) at the service meeting last night during the item about the new watchtower, a letter was read by the po.

  the public talk is to be 30 minutes long.

  this is to allow for more association and ministry.. lengthy negative introductions about the state of the system of things/deep last days etc are to be heavily curtailed.

  TIME Magazine Articles on Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone ever posted about the tons of time magazine articles about the jws?

  time has been around forever and has been a 'witness' (pardon the pun) to much of their history .. clear back to the 1930s.

  go to the time website and search for yourself!
