  Introduction

  before i begin my introductory post, i would like to mention that a number of my initial comments here may be viewed by several of you as watchtower apologist or as sympathetic to the views of the jehovahs witnesses.

  the last thing i want to do is incite a flame war regarding my legitimacy or intentions in joining this forum.

  mostly, i would describe myself as on the fence.

  attended a jw memorial talk yesterday

  2. experiences

  after being da'd for two years, i felt it was my duty to attend the memorial talk for an elderly brother who i greatly respected over the years.. i was quite nervous going back to the kh and seeing everyone.. well, my wife and i walked in, and most of the elders we saw just looked away, or acted like we were invisible.

  several of our old friends winked, smiled, or waved secretly.

  the hall was full, and this elder named jeff renfroe placed us in the 2nd row from the front.

  Don't Ignore Us!

  2. beliefs

  when i first left the jw's some years ago, one of the most incredible observations i made was just how irrelevant the wt and jw's were to the larger public.

  when the conversation turned to my history (as it often did, because i desperately wanted to discuss it) the most comon reaction was of complete unawareness of the jw's, much less their doctrine, or complete surprise that i regarded them as destructive.

  to the later, the jw's were understood to be just another church like any other, a little weird perhaps but just one of the many churches in town.

  KH closes without any sign or notice- why?

  by moshe in

  2. friends

  i was in my old city in 2009 before i moved away i noticed a kh that i had helped build back in the early 70s was closed, with no sign or notice anywhere.

  i looked in the windows and saw some discarded papers , folding chairs & light fixtures laying around.

  i was surprised that they didn't have a sign like, we have moved to a new kh on 1313 mockingbird lane, call elder kumquat for directions and meeting times, etc.

  WT September 15, 2010 - The Faithful and NOT SO Discrete Slave

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wt of september 15, 2010 (kool-aid version) has two articles on unity.

  one is titled: unity identifies true worship and the other christian unity glorifies god.

  of course it is more uniformity, not true unity.
