Virtual Kingdom Hall Super-secret Password

by Shepherd Book in

jw
friends

so i want to sign up for the virtual kingdom hall here: http://thekingdomhall.ning.com/, which i guess is a clean and safe place for brothers and sisters to join.

problem is, in order to be in approved association there, i need to know the first song listed in the july kingdom ministry for the meeting beginning the week of july 28. .

the site says only jws know this, so i was hoping one of you loyal brothers or sisters could help me out..

BIG NEWS - they're doing away with the Memorial now too!

by rebel8 in

rumor among dubbies is they are doing away with the memorial!

let's hope it's true.

i am so laughing my head off and want to thank jwd for giving me the strength to leave the jws and for standing up to them (i am a quiet mouse usually!).

the jws next door had the field service meeting and i told hubby(inactive ) that they'd gone so he could cut the grass, but i was wrong and as soon as he went out they all piled out of the house lol!they tried to say hello but he shunned them as he hates the way they ignore me (d'ad) esp his family.

then while he was talking to our other neighbour i saw his step father (who is a big bully and called me a murderer when i said i wasnt sure if i wanted to be a jw anymoreand my kids would be killed because of me which really hurt me) so he arranged to work our road i know just so he can get hold of hubby.. anyway hubby was hiding in the house and tried to make me see them (again) but i made him do it, hoping he'd just tell them hes not interested.

hey dobbie.. sorry you have had to deal with such an arsehole... :-(

next time he comes, just act all humble and say that there's one thing you can't seem to get over, and that is the 607 BCE date. Let him go off and do research, and then when he comes back with the thought that "we added it up that way coz we're the only ones who follow the 70 years" then point him to the information under "Simple Calculation" in www.jwfacts.com that show that even the WTBTS prove that 607 is wrong. Then just say you can't get over the scripture in Deut 18:20:

"But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word which YAHWEH has not spoken? When a prophet speaks in the name of YAHWEH, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word which YAHWEH has not spoken; the prophet has spoken presumptuously, you need not be afraid of him." (Deuteronomy Chapter 18 verse 20)

Tell him you feel that God is directly giving you a message through His word. Can he explain how God's Word might be false? :-) hehe

Missing the newbies

by Mickey mouse in

it's sad we have no newbies joining anymore.

i miss them.

it must be very frustrating for people who have just discovered this site and can't join.

hotchocolate

I'd like to second the idea that new members can still join.

That way if someone has missed the detours they can ask.

A notification in registration that the site will be ending soon would be sufficient surely?

Was my entire life fake?

by BonaFide in

jw
friends

so i start thinking about all my "privileges.

" i went to mts, took 600 pages of notes, went to my assignment, i am still serving under the mts program.

for a few years until my circumstances changed.

hotchocolate

Yippee! It makes me so happy when I hear of another person coming to a realisation of truth.

I completely understand that feeling of being proud of your accomplishments as a witness. I think so many of us have huge "worldly" potential, and so we have replaced that with our JW successes.

It was very interesting that you wrote about the Matrix. The first time I watched that film it really spoke to me. It wasn't until more recently that I've realised why I had such an attraction to it. The witnesses really promote that conspiracy concept, that the whole world is against them. And now I wonder sometimes, like you, was my entire life fake? I cannot believe that I lived and fought for an idea that I always sub-consciously knew was untrue, out of a sense of rightness and responsibility. But I don't plan on sitting back and feeling sorry for myself. Life does go on, and I plan to make mine a good one. :-)
