JWN site question?
by mind blown inquestion?.
on some threads the "post reply" box is missing the section where you can post links, photos, emotcions, etc.. is this a new thing to save band width or is it a glitch?.
i miss having the old "post reply" options....:(.

Ran into a witnessing table at the park today
by confusedandalone ini just got in from my daughters homecoming(she is a cheerleader and these guys make a huge deal out of this stuff).
they play 3 football games of various age groups.
it starts at 8 in the morning and just ended at 1:30. i just got in the house literally 5 minutes ago and i had to share.

they seem to be getting more popluar these stupid metal racks with their magazines and crammed into them, a very busy main line rail station I use has one there most days and I'm starting to see them in smaller town centres, the main purpose I see for them is for JW's to constantly play with their mobile phones or just stand there and gossip, stupid idea , stupid religion.

How I miss the 'Truth' of my youth....
by gingerbread inmy family moved from the city to the country.. part of the reason for the relocation was to move 'to where the need was greater'.
i loved our new home - i was free to roam the woods and fields, enjoy the wildlife, work in our garden and feed the chickens.
i had new friends in our new congregation.

a lot have felt like that, I grew up as a kid in the early 70's and this was before the hardline attitude that saw the clampdown in Crooklyn in the early 80's, times were different for a JW kid back then, it all seemed far more fun!

Are JW's using different terminology for "congregation discipline"?
by booker-t ini have been out for over 20 years now and sometimes i run into a young jws on the street and the language seems to be "greek" to me.
i have a hard time understanding what they are talking about.
when i was in(90s) they had 4 catergories for congregation discipline.

the "reason" for a dissfellowshipping must have been a throw back to the 60's as a 70's kid I always remember "for conduct unbecoming for a Christian" I always did remember because my old man always seemed to make the announcement, then in the 80's the "unbecoming" seemed to be droppped but a local needs talk would follow.

also agreeing with JWfacts and Farkel, SBF seemed to be trolling for some time now, sometimes promoting the viewpoint that the WTS is full of crap and now he is saying its the truth again, and had this obsession that they are the biggest and fastest growing cult

My decision to openly greet df persons in the hall
by Daniel1555 inat the moment i am still going to all the meetings (for family reasons).. we have at the moment 1 df person who regularly comes (already df for 1.5 years).. when i opened him the door i always greeted him but in the hall i didn't as others could see it.. now i decided that my conscience can not bear this any longer.
i will greet him also in the hall or when others are around.. if any elders notice it and talk to me, i tell them my conscience does not allow to not greet that person.. did any of you do that too and have some experiences?.

I done it in my final year or so but was caught and was told by an elder if I continued to do it expect trouble, the strange thing is he stopped talking to me, I guess he was warned too, he told me some amazing gossip though

you are doing the right thing, I would write to them and demand that under no circumstances whatsoever do they ever call unannounced again or you will seek legal advice, do not answer any calls from them or voicemails and texts messages or emails , iphones can simply block any number you want now.
