  from reading my previous post many of you know i am a worldly person and have been a life long child advocate.

  my heart goes out to the jw children and women.

  Street Witnessing - did you ever do it?

  by Muddy Waters in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember in our congregation, there were a few older pioneer sisters who would start counting their time early - even before the service arrangement - by standing at a street corner and holding the magazines up in front of them and hoping that any passersby might stop to take one on their way to work or whatever.

  as a fresh, new dub, i had heard about this "street-witnessing" work, but there was only one time i ever actually saw one of these older sisters doing this.

  and even then i was shocked and embarrassed for her.... because this poor old sister was standing there, all by herself, holding up the watchtower & awake magazines, yet looking as sad and depressed as she could possibly ever look, her whole mouth was turned down just totally sad as she stood there, observing all the "dead" people walking around, hurrying to catch buses, get kids to school, get to work, etc.

  Fornicate and keep quiet, is it possible for a Governing Body member?

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  do you think any of the members of the governing body have at one time in their lives committed an immoral sex act but never confessed?

  remember leo greenlees.

  fornication, adultery or something else?

  Wanted to Share a Watchtower Quote with you

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just thought this was interesting and wanted to see all of your thoughts and opinions on it.. watchtower, november 15, 2014, simplified study edition, pages 11-12:.

  9 let us examine the words of three brothers who for many years have worked closely with members of the governing body.

  one brother mentioned: while this has indeed been a unique privilege of service, the close association has from time to time revealed that, although spirit anointed, these brothers are imperfect.

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after leaving the organisation 10 years ago i fought with everything i had to stay in my marriage and with my three children.

  after a tumultuous number of years trying to maintain a happy family life while living in a divided home, it's finally over.

  the religion is single handedly responsible for destroying my marriage and my family.
