"we should be mindful".
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The "friends'- who don't give a hoot about you!
When someone says help us to "emulate" Christ in their prayer. Hello! When you try to use a "big" word incorrectly you look like a fool. Guess that's what happens when you are an uneducated bunch of people.

Blondie,

"The most important thing is to be mentally on the same page."
Blondie,
I would respectfully disagree. While I am envoius of your situation, I would argue that it is more important to respect each other and to work toward an agreement when you are not on the same page. After almost 20 years of marriage I have realized that we will not always be on the same page mentally. It just so happens that we disagree on religion.
But then again, if we agree to disagree, aren't we on the same page?
would love to hear how.

" I feel very sad for those that have mates still active after they have left ."
I actually enjoy the quiet time on Sundays and one night a week. Circut Assembly weekends are awesome! I am a disappointed when she doesn't go.
Whenever I want to do something that she is not keen on, I remind her she leaves me for 5-6 hours a week to do something I don't like.
I guess it is just a matter of perspective.
china: the number of publishers has increased.
in some parts of the mainland, they can openly go door to door without much interference.
there are actally buildings now used as kingdom halls.
Lets not forget both parents can now count the time with the kids.
For those questioning why to join an active JW Facebook group, think of it this way;
It reinforces with the GB that this is a dangerous site. It will be viewed as a place where apostates are secretly trying to drag the brothers and sisters out of the truth. It will not be tolerated.
You can have the viewpoint that it only increases their self absorbed idea that they are being percecuted. I would argue that those who adopt this view are those following blindly. and will stay in no matter what the borg says.
I believe the more likely scenario is those who are told to close their FB accounts may either refuse to do so or begrudgingly do so. It may cause those teetering to realize the high control mentality of this religion. Also, those with FB accounts are those who have deafened the very stated warnings of these social networking groups. They are not the "strong" friends. I also cannot help tp wonder how many 13-18 year olds will be p*ssed off at this stupid rule.
The point is, don't join to argue with JW's. Join to force these individuals to make a choice, freedom or the cult.
Tread
mine does.
goes way out of her way to stir up trouble, conflict, and manipulate the former and non-dub relatives into not having a nice holiday.
goes to extremes to do so, and is at it again, right on cue..
Many members have a misplaced superiority complex that causes them to be idiots during the holidays.
As a religion, I don't feel they INTENTIONALLY TRY to mess up holidays for people.
However, the fact that they would arrange and promote field service on holidays is incredilbly disrespectful.
i was raised in from about 10. mum contacted by door to door work.

Born-in.
i just came back from a 12 day carribean cruise and visited the islands of grenada, saint lucia, barbados,and 4 other islands.
the temperature was around 90 degrees every day.
it is that warm all year round for them.. all around the street markets and shopping areas we saw jehovah's witnesses street witnessing .
I don't remember-two sisters- they are all drones anyway.
My parents went to talk to them. It was probably the only conversation they had all day but they probably counted 8 hours. I looked at my daughter and said "Could you imagine wasting a day just sitting there? That's why you are going to college".
