  Start planning now for 2014- the 100th anniversary of 1914

  by moshe in

  2. beliefs

  it's not too soon to start mentioning that to jw's- let them know that 100 years is a long time and even g-d only made the israelites wander in the wilderness for 40 years, before he brought them to the promised land.

  let the doubt begin creeping in and let the jw's know they aren't the only ones with doubts.

  i will mention 2014 to jw's from now on- it's a date that the wt hopes the jw's will ignore..

  Doesn't he read the Watchtower?

  Nope! He doesn't know half of what this religion teaches. I suspect a lot of people don't keep up with a ton of stuff because it always changes. They hold onto a couple of scriptures like Matt. 24:14 and convince themselves that it has to be the truth because of that and have no idea of what is going on everywhere else...

  Right now he doesn't do to much with the religion. Just attends most meetings. Although we missed both mtgs this week.

  I suspect he is going to be ultra spiritual that year and then when it doesn't come he will probably lose interest in the truth altogether or just do bare minimum like he has been to keep his connections with his friends.

  German magazine covers re: church & pedophilia

  by behemot in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  apparently, german catholics are a bit irate over the cover to a satirical magazine.

  i don't understand why.

  this one just shows a reverent priest, titled "the church today".. and this one actually offers a practical use for christian icons ("does jesus play a role?")..

  My hubby thinks the big A is gonna come that year. He figures generation means a lifetime and there would be no way it would go past 100 years.

  I havent bothered to tell him all of the flipflops on that one.

  weirdest thing ever just happened.. my daughters toy started playing music by itself.

  there was nothing around it that could have caused it to do that.

  and it just happened 4 times in a row and then i called out to my husband and it just stopped.

  Last night the weirdest thing happened when I put my daughter to bed.

  I heard this heavy breathing like somebody when exhausted from running. It sounded like it was right in the hallway and I thought it was my hubby and something was very, very wrong. I ran out there and he wasn't there. I called to him and he was downstairs in the other side of the house. I asked him if that was him breathing like that and he said he didn't know what I was talking about.

  My minds playing tricks on me! Maybe I'm just going really nuts!

  by asilentone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if they make announcement in the kh that person is no longer a jw, do they treat them as disfellowshipped?

  they made annoucement for my friend that is no longer a jw, his girflfriend invited me to go bowling.

  i told her that i cannot do that because since i am a fader and i do not want to get caught since i have jw family ties.

  This is what I would do.

  Go out with them. If you get caught, play dumb and act like you thought he was inactive you were trying to encourage him AND his wife. lol, I really bet you'd get away with it!
