  my wife of 35 years and i were talking last night.

  i was raised a witness.

  she became a witness on her own volition at about 13 years old.

  Did You Like Your Congregation?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the hall i was in the last few years was not a bad place.

  most of the people were middle class, some had college educations (like the po and his wife); they generally weren't over critical.

  of course there were a few elders and publishers that were pains but for the most part the people in that hall were pretty decent.

  Will The New Watchtower Kill Off The Awake?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know if any of you have considered this but is the new watchtower arrangement partly intended.

  to permit the end of the awake magazine?.

  it is a financially difficult thing for a religion the size of the "truth" to publish one - much less two .

  Met,

  What do you mean it is "financial difficult?"

  What evidence is there either mag is a money looser?

  This is a new thought to me.

  Did You Take Your "Ministry" Seriously?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since all jehovah's witnesses are "ministers" and are to act like "watchmen" so as to not be bloodguilty before jehovah god, would you say that you, personally were a fine zealous preacher?

  did you make sure that you accurately kept your house-to-house records up to date?

  did you make sure you were back in a timely fashion once you placed literature?

  What's the main purpose to the out of town Assemblies?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with all the meetings jw's attend each week, why do they need a district assembly or circuit assembly?.

  is it to show how big the organization is or is it just to baptize a few.. couldn't this be done staying in their home town.

  is there a financial advantage to the watchtower to have these assemblies out of town ?.

  I have talked to old timers: the DC would run over a week....days twelve hours long or so....no air conditioning....wretched living quarters....trips to the DC from the place they were staying miles and miles...

  It was this horror storty and, guess what: They LOVED it.

  Of course this was the group that survived the Great Depression and WW 11 and never left Dudsville, USA. A county fair was a heart stopper: think of what a DC was to them!!!!

  What it is now, I don't know...or care.

  The one thing I miss the LEAST is the misery of a DC or a CA. I can not tell you the intense, soul satisfying relief of knowing I will not be going to one of these mind-embalming, bathroom short, wish I had some money for decent food, propaganda, short term concentration camps.

  Sighing happily,

  welcome to the forum!

  excellent first "thread" about jws and the use of blood.

  it is amazing isn't it how they put out these "doctrines" and then give the disclaimer, " but do according to your conscience.
