  do the elders da people who quit going?

  i quit going two years ago and when sisters came to my door one time and asked why, i told them that the elders are no different from the pharisees and that i don't want anymore to do with it.

  no elders have ever visited me concerning this or any other matter.

  a relative said there may not be dcs next year.

  he said on the last day of this year's dc when the final speaker goes through all the reports & experiences, the speaker said next year's dc have not been planned yet and the gb will make an announcement later this year.

  did anyone else hear a similar announcement?

  How many happy JW marriages do you know of?

  by Bonnie_Clyde in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just reading frequent flyer miles on the subject of feeling guilty for having a happy marriage with a non-jw.. in our congregation which i haven't attended for about a year, i can only think of two or three who seem to be happy.

  of course, i don't know what happens behind closed doors, but i know of several who admit they are unhappy.

  i wrote out a long list of couples who have divorced over the last 20 years--including three elders (one is on his second divorce).

  144,000

  by TIMBOB in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is not so much a question as it is to make sure that i am thinking correctly.

  the witnesses believe that 144,000 would rule as kings and priests in heaven and the end would not come until all of the 144,000 were in heaven, correct?

  so, if this were the case and the witnesses kept a census of how many partook each year and are still doing that today, that means that back in the early 1900s they must of known that all 144,000 were not yet in heaven.

  607 to 1914 calculation question

  by bluebell in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is there any culture that actually used years of 360 days length?

  if so, surely there would still be some kind of leap year to correct the calendar, why is that not taken into account?

  i'd never thought about it when i was a dub because you're not supposed to think!
