  Is there a new "full court press" to bring back "lost ones"?

  by tenyearsafter in

  i ask the question because all of a sudden i am getting bombarded by my mother and other family members to "take my wife's hand and run back to jehovah before it is too late"!!

  i am getting e-mail with screen shots of the un website (http://www.un.org/en/peace) stating "peace and security", being told that this could likely be the last memorial celebrated and that the door to the ark will be closing soon.

  has anyone else been seeing an up-tick in these "prodigal son" appeals from jw friends and family?

  Reopened Mind...I guess there is always "hope" for even the most "lost" of the JW sheep!

  Quendi,

  I have never had any contact with the elders since my DF'ing...this is the first year I have had any more effort than a Memorial reminder from anyone...including family members...curious.

  Outlaw,

  You may be right...but I have no idea what got me back on the "radar'!!

  He is engaging, but he believes his conspiracy theories a bit too much...he has blurred the line between his television theory and real life when it comes to conspiracy...

  Just curious...

  After you got reinstated from the congregation, did the love bombing start right away and how long did it last?

  Krettnawe,

  I think the point being made is that the reinstated ones are still treated as pariah, and not welcomed back like the Prodigal Son...if they were welcomed back, I don't think you would be reading the sarcasm.

  Is this not an easy question?

  by the pharmer in

  i wanted my jw friend's perspective on something, so i asked them this question:.

  if i read a passage of scripture and conclude about it something that opposes the wt's view of the same passage, in your mind who has the truth about that passage (i.e.

  who is correct)?

  djeggnog,

  The one point you completely miss is that the fact you may be ULTIMATELY correct in your understanding of a scripture, means nothing at the time of your coming to that understanding. Using your example of the "superior authorities" in Romans 13:1, if your understanding was that those authorities were the earthly governments at the time the WTS understood it to mean Jah and Jesus...and if you openly disagreed with that understanding, YOU would be disciplined. Why?...not because you would ultimately be proved correct, but rather because you disrupted the "unity" of the congregation. Being right or wrong has nothing to do with the WTS...it is being in lock-step agreement with them at the time that matters.

  The classic features of a JW wedding are:

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  firstly a wedding/sales talk that mostly features heavily on how the woman should behave (hint, doormat) and lightly brushes over the fact of the husbands bevhaviour ( oh yeah he should treat her well).

  the reception normaly at some crummy comunity hall with yellowed ceilings and chucks of damp plaster falling off the walls.

  the seats normaly arranged facing eachother all around the edge, so that theres a huge unused space in the middle and everyone is climbing over everyone elses legs to get to their chair.. a big spread donated by everyone, normaly an ode to food poisoning.
