  I'm meeting with the elders this Saturday

  by Honesty in

  2. friends

  that's right, guys and girls, i'm going to meet with at least two elders this saturday.. before you get ya britches in a big 'ol wad i can explain everything.. it's like this... well, a good friend asked me yesterday if i would be willing to meet with some jw's who have been having a 'bible study' with him for 5 or 6 weeks.

  it appears that these jw's are elders and they have informed him that he is not a christian.

  he asked them if they would be willing to discuss their beliefs with anyone and everyone so that he could be sure what they are telling him about not being a christian is true.

  I agree with Drew. Stick to familiar territory or they will run. By tha way, if you want to discuss the blood issue, the Nov. Km has an insert dedicated to "fractions". It might be a good way to introduce the "ham sandwich".

  here is another lame a$$ email from a dub (how is it the only use they can think of for the internet is to regurgitate these lame parable's.).

  warning have your barf bags ready.. .

  this is very thought provoking.

  His story implies that Jehovah is stupid and destroys indiscriminately. That's not a mental image I want in my head.

  i just found this place and thought i'd post.

  i'm a 50+ year old grandmother who was "raised in the truth".

  i have been on my way out of "the organization" for several years now, but have moved cautiously because i don't want to jump from the firing pan into the fire so to speak.

  circuit ass-embly

  by bonnzo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just a few notes.

  the entire ass-embly was dealing with materialism or higher education; apparantly one leads to the other.

  why cant the wts realize that higher education is not just a means to get rich or ahead in this system, but a means to have a career outside of janitorial work?

  What incident marked you most as a JW?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember once in the field service, a ms of about 70 years old, former elder, was in the field service with a brother and he drove him straight home even before going out in the field service.

  he had an argument with that brother in the car and i don't know exactly what it was about, but i know that this brother placed lots of importance in jesus unlike most jw's and i think this brother was talking too much about jesus door to door, and this old ms knew about this and told him off, but this brother didn't want to change his style, so he was driven straight home.. gee, i found that childish.. this jw that was driven home, belonged to another religion prior, and he never did accept to put jesus on the back burner.

  i wonder why he became a jw?
