The packages will arrive today... What do you think will happen?

by Faithful Witness in

i have decided that ignoring my niece and nephew during the holidays, is the most unloving thing i could possibly do.

they stopped celebrating christmas and birthdays, after my sister began studying with jw's about 6-7 years ago.

we did not celebrate either, until 3 years ago, when my son was 2 and my daughter was 4, and we'd figured out that the jw's are wrong about this decision.

I think you will be OK sending these gifts. And they should be OK accepting them.

Just tell them that they're just Christmas Fractions

The civil trial in Japan

by japanesegirl in

finally in japan, there happened a civil trial which is by a brother who was unfairly deleted his status by a body of elders of his congregation.

he has sued them for religious and power harassment.

although the brother's name and details are not told, the trial is progressing to the middle stage.

Sighhhhhhhh, the Draw Close to Jehovah book again for the Congregation Bible Study.

check out this gem from the dec 2013 km which explains why it's good to over this book a second go round.. "congregations previously considered this book during 2004 and 2005. however,for many of the approximately two million publishers who have come into the truth since then,this will be the first time that jehovahs endearing qualities have been discussed in detail.for those who studied the book before, the review will help them to deepen their appreciation forjehovahs attributes.ps.119:14".

i gotta kick out of this because i can only think of maybe two or three new ones in our congregation who weren't present when this book was first studied.

at the same time, going over jehovah's qualities isn't something new.

Many cults use repetition and word association . What the mind hears the most it believes.

she had surgery for heart valve replacement about 5 weeks ago, and when they opened her up for it they found cancer.

we had an extra special relationship since i was her "birthday present" when she turned 10 in 1951. this is my second sibling to die of cancer in 14 months..

because this is an open forum and most of the people on here have been Jehovah's Witnesses or are trying to escape it's tenticles.

I being in that same position of being an ex trying to free myself from the cultish tenticles of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

So when a Jdub comes on here, (even though the Governing Body has counseled them against it) and says cultish things it rankles many here.

However, you can say anything you want, you just have to be able to deal with the consequences.

Sorry but this isn't the Kingdom Hall were every one has to agree with each other.

If you want to be here then stop whining, count your time and don't tell the elders that you are on a website that has many former believers on it.

Try to keep an open mind, you might learn something.

I see your leaving. Good Bye Bro Mike your always free to come back

"Special week of activity"

by stillin in

the co visit.

i should keep count of how many times somebody uses that phrase.

in the announcements, in the prayers, in their parts, ad nauseous.. and really...c'mon, now.

ldrnomo

Shows you how boring a Jdub's life really is.

meetings and field service week after week then every once in a while a new guy shows up for a week and it's special.

The End of False Religion Is Near! HAHAHA

by tootired2care in

memories!

i remember a few years back being involved in the campaign work, and having the distinctly awkward experience of having to hand the householders this piece of sh1t tract "the end of false religion is near!"..

i recall the discomfort i had trying to get into a conversation about this nonsense.

ldrnomo

I've heard-say that the Society was quietly hoping to spark the great tribulation with this tract. Nothing official. Just several expressing the same thought which made it curious. I wonder if any others have heard such a thing?

I didn't hear this from anyone but I thought it.
