  Why are they announcing 2019 conventions so early?

  by Richard_I in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just told there will be international conventions in canada in 2019. .

  so i looked at jw.org and i see that there's a whole bunch of conventions now listed on the site for 2019.. isn't this odd?

  normally we were told the location of conventions during the first week of january.. did they realize there was less in attendance in the 2018 conventions, and want to give ppl more time to make travel arrangements??

  No meetings memorial week

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the august monthly announcements letter, among other things, says that if a memorial is midweek, there is to be no midweek meeting and if at a weekend, then no weekend meeting.

  previously it was only no other meeting on the same day.

  is this because so many congregations now share halls that scheduling it has become almost impossible?.

  I think that all the meetings should be canceled in the 6 months before the memorial to give enough time to contemplate the meaning of the important occasion.

  It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?

  by Nosferatu in

  i find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.

  "for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!

  but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.

  2. entertainment

  one of my interests is music and i play an acoustic guitar.. i wrote a poem about my guitar and thought i'd share it with you.

  my poem doesn't match up to some of compound complex's work however, i'd really appreciate any feedback you can give.. my guitar my friend.

  reaching for my old companion.

  Oh yeah..... My kind of topic

  I'm no Tommy Emmanuel but for me.... NO guitar .... NO life
  

  Had a few guitars over the years but just recently got an Epiphone AJ-220SCE/N

  It's not one of the top of the range models but it really sounds good

  Even with light gauge strings on it, it plays nicely and has good volume and great tone

  At least for me. I have never played any really expensive guitars so I can't compare but

  this does the job for me.

  Now gotta play.........

  No Reason For JWs To Go To The MIdweek Meeting (CLAM)

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  everything that is done at the midweek meeting can now be done at home.

  the videos are online, the first talk is scripted, the bible highlights are scripted.

  you could get the same experience by just reading and watching the material from your tablet.

  I just realized how closely the lyrics of this song represent my current feeling about the meetings. I never would have thought when I was young and first listened to this song how much it would apply to me now especially when attending the meetings

  Comfortably Numb Pink Floyd

  Is there anybody in there?

  Just nod if you can hear me

  Is there anyone at home?

  Come on now

  I hear you're feeling down

  Well I can ease your pain

  Get you on your feet again

  Relax

  I'll need some information first

  Just the basic facts

  Can you show me where it hurts?

  There is no pain you are receding

  A distant ship smoke on the horizon

  You are only coming through in waves

  Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

  When I was a child I had a fever

  My hands felt just like two balloons

  Now I've got that feeling once again

  I can't explain you would not understand

  This is not how I am

  I have become comfortably numb

  Okay

  Just a little pinprick

  There'll be no more, ah

  But you may feel a little sick

  Can you stand up?

  I do believe it's working, good

  That'll keep you going through the show

  Come on it's time to go

  After finding out the TTaTT I went through the feelings that most on this forum can sympathise with but finally coming to terms with it in my own way to some degree.

  It seems there is no way out for me after being a witness for more than 50 years. It's not possible right now for me to leave physically even though I want to. But I have left mentally and now just resigned to being comfortably numb at the meetings

  Or maybe that should read uncomfortably numb.

  (Maybe this could be the missing new song 151)

  Reasons for some brothers not to use technology for the cult ?

  by SlappySlap in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  and what if a brother or sister refuses to use internet only because he got to struggle with pornography and decides to cut off his right hand (technology) and throw it away because it causes him to sin ?.

  would he be considered unspiritual for living according to what he thinks to be right or must he take the risk to be tempted or even to sin just to be in line with the ‘’organisation’ ?.

  They could also refer to this WT article as a good reason not to use the Internet

  As we know, referring to a WT article is like referring to the oracle.

  So it would be a mark of spirituality to do so

  WT 06 3/1 p. 24 par. 9 “Keep Your Senses Completely”

  Quote: On the Internet, it can be difficult to distinguish fact from fiction

  Can't argue with that. Or is it out of context. Hmmm....

  I'll just check out JW.ORG

  No fiction on that site.

  Caleb will put me right I'm sure.
