by runningonfaith inbut jesus said to him:"do not you men try to prevent (him) for he that is not against you is for you".
.
luke 9:50. in the wt library cd 2005 that i have,the references to this verse,when serched,are few and vague.. (on the other hand there are probably volumes on mattew 24:14).. what's your understanding on this verse?.

songs that help you cry....
by wings inno matter how much you want to avoid it...crying is necessary sometimes.
for me, i need help with it....too many distractions in my life.
i almost have to plan crying....so for me music aides in releasing emotion, helps me just be me for an interval of time.

Son sends "apostate" text message - Now the elders want to talk to him!!
by GoingGoingGone inmy 17 year old son told his dad that he didn't want to be a jw anymore about 8 months ago i think, and doesn't go to meetings or assemblies.
he's been accepted to one of the best universities in the country and will start this fall, with his dad's blessing.
their congregation had the summer convention this past weekend.

jgringe's right on.elders are not really meeting with your son "to reason" with him.can't generalize but they are just probably looking to have solid proofs.after that they can manage the situation to their will. they want everything in their control.tell your son to leave the moment he doesn't feel confortable.

(reading this you please keep in mind that english is not my first language.)Yes,thanks for asking.i left a year ago because i realised the p.o. and his sidekick(another elder)were playing games with me and my family.short story: i asked to meet with a sister to confronte her for spreading rumors about my doughter.the sister's husband (he's been coming to meetings forever,never baptised,i wonder why)worked with the p.o. for years and are very good friends,(bad associations spoil..........?)so one night (after months )the p.o. and the two brothers who are "working with us" tell us that the sister don't want to meet with us,she's scared of me and other b.s. at one point another elder steps in and organizes the confrontationn at the hall.i ask that the p.o. be present,i need clarifications.we confront the sister,she said she knew nothing about us wanting to meet with her,( the p.o. said she was asked),so i call this clown dowstairs(p.o.)and tell him that his story and the sister 's don't match.he flips out.he tells me he don't remember,he starts yelling,he goes in the bathroom crying.the elder that organised the meeting had to go and call him a couple of times,he won't get out.(now,mind you,i've recorded all this,they don't know)we go downstairs again,in the minwhile the sidekick arrived(other elder present the night the p.o. told me the b.s., there were 3 of them)i asked them to call him to the hall,thinking he surely will tell the story the way it was.wrong! he denies everything. now,thep.o.,two other elders,me and my wife(god bless her)were present when the p.o. lied to us;only after a couple of months the third elder tells me ,during a visit at my house,that he knows and remember what was said.(but he won't go against the shop neither). conclusion:i just think jw are like everyone else.there's good people,that do things in good faith,and other that don't.they just play with a different set of rules.love and peace to all
