  it's an overglorifed memorial invitation.

  they handed them out at the service meeting.

  Hmmm, Having been an elder for 15 years, that up till last Auguest, I never heard of not counting the DF'ed for any meeting. They are not allowed to attend meetings in private homes but ehy have always been counted. The practic that our CO advised us was to make our annual invite to return to the meetings just before the memorial, so that they would be there too.

  i think there might be a mass revolt.

  imagine a mob of 100,000 angry dubs in newyork smashing down wt 25 using telephone posts as battering rams.

  then the looting and the destruction of every wt property in newyork and elsewhere.

  Umm, exactly what they always do - get all excited about the "new light," and completely ignore the fact that they've been suckered in once again! Any questions, see "unbaptizeds" remark.

  Scriptural Proof/Support for the "New Light" doctrine?

  2. beliefs

  so i've been thinking a lot about the whole new light thing - how exactly is that justified in the bible by the dubs?

  i can't remember anything other than the scripture they quote but there has to be more to it than that!

  if i'm having a total braincramp, sorry!

  Faders: Would you prefer attention from the elders or not?

  by ringo5 in

  this question may produce some flaming, but so be it.

  i've noticed many are freaked out, annoyed, worried, or simply felt harrassed when faced with the prospect of a visit from the elders when trying to fade.

  others, or at times the same ones, complain that they recieved no inquiry from them at all or very little.

  I just want them to leave me alone, for their OWN good! I don't think I'd be able to stop myself from going off if they showed up, the stupid gits!

  Latest Decorating "must have" for JW's

  mom asked me to come over and help with a drapery rod decision.

  one of the prominent pieces in the room is a book case by a firm called "cheryl"...quite expensive about 8 feet tall in cream wood with much carving....a beautiful piece.. low and behold, displayed in the center are the 7 books...... "studies in the scriptures".....they don't go with anything, off red covers.

  i was shocked.

  Oh yeah! It used to be one of my passions to find the old copies of the early publications. Of course they weren't for reading - just for bragging rights *snort*

  What Religion Are You?

  by choosing life in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know a lot of posters are not religious and others feel no need to attend a church.

  but, for those that do attend somewhere, i was curious as to what type of church they chose after leaving the jws and what attracted them to that particular church or religion?

  if you were not raised as a jw, did you return to the church you were raised in?

  I'm fading so its hard to visit anything without being turned in for apostasy, but we're talking about visiting a UU about 45 mins away. I find it hard to even consider everything. I was so brainwashed into dismissing any other beliefs it tends to get in the way. I want to find SOME kind of spirituality, but I'm so gunshy of being suckered again I can't seem to let my guard down. I'm taking a class on Sacred Texts and Cultures around the world and trying to keep an open mind.

  Really Bad Day Today!

  by winnie in

  i woke up to my kids all sick, a letter in the mailbox (put there sneakily sometime early this morning) saying that we should 'return to serve jehovah and become one of the family again' (cannot understand the association of meeting attendance = being part of a family.

  family is family no matter what they choose to believe.

  ) and to top it all off, our 10 year old dog who has been really sick past week, had to be put down a couple of hours ago.

  I'm liking Frannie's idea - snicker. Seriously, I wish they would just respect our wishes and leave us ALONE! Really sorry about the kids and the pet - never rains but pours, huh ((((((winnie)))))

  So what random rules did YOUR elders impose?

  by brunnhilde in

  every cong has them, the petty dictators who make up arbitrary rules and insist that the rank and file follow them or pay the penalty.

  a couple mine had - sisters could not have skirts that were either too short (above the knee) or too long, below the mid-calf - either extreme was worldly.

  also, in order to have privileges (cause there were so many wonderful and fulfilling things for women in the borg) sisters must wear pantyhose.

When I was pioneering and out of work, I showed up late for a field service meeting with my pioneer partner at the time because I'd been putting together resumes. Brother A$$hole had already arranged the groups and we were told if we couldn't show up on time, we could go by ourselves. I could go on and on, but I'm sure we all have LOTS of fun ones to share *snicker*
