i find this as a way for my wife trying to avoid going to church with me on easter.. my wife has a meeting with the elders about her reinstatement sunday after the wt study, which is indeed true.

however, the only reason why she would go to church with me on easter is because i went with her to the memorial.

she tries to bargain her way out with this by she should go to church with me on good friday instead on easter.

MEMORIAL SHOCK!!!!--- Part 2

a few days ago i started a thread about a "brother" who is climbing jw corporate ladder in the speed of lightning...he was only baptised recently, but already "anointed" and therefore partaking..... well, at this year's memorial we were subjected to an emotional showoff...his wife cried her lungs out as he partook....apparently she is upset at the fact that they won't be together in the new system, because he will be in heaven and she will be on earth!!!.

a lot of people in our cong were also touched and almost half of them were in tears....i have to say that it looked so convincing that even the worldlies will think that this is the truth....

i went to my first memorial with my wife and her family just to see how this really works in my eyes.

it was very.......interesting, but at least i did get a few laughs out of it.

i honestly wanted to go just to see how it really works....and hear my wife trying to come up with a bargain to avoid going to church on easter.. first off, even though i only went to the hall a few times with my wife, i've never seen so many jw in 1 little place.

...apparently not enough.... my wife were supposed to meet with the elders saturday.

unfortunately(for her), the brothers cancelled the meeting.

the reason being i dont have a clue, but the way my wife explained it to me was that they had to tend to one of the elder's injury on his leg(she was notified of this the week she turned in that letter so thats not a real excuse because they've had alternatives).

BTW...Jude is the One Hit Wonder of the NWT Bible........

see...when appendix 1-d explains that in the christian greek scriptures (new testament) we have "restored the divine name when quoting from the hebrew scriptures"....now when something is quoted it has "quotation marks" ....these """"""""" but it does not explain that it also adds the name whenever it wants too in an effort to show that jesus is not jehovah....so if you read jude...you will see three uses of the name jehovah...and duh...jude vs. 5 is a total add on....not a quote of anything in the hebrew scriptures.....the other two are "quotes" of hebrew passages... now we really should not even put the divine name in there for any reason unless ancient manuscripts have yhwh in them...but none do!!

!...just check you insight book under the jehovah heading...use in the greek scriptures.............love you guys.........oompa.

just gotta share this stuff!...we gotta lotta newbies!..........

well...my family is moving back to pa in may.

as a result, my wife wrote a 2nd letter to the brothers to see if she can get reinstated before she leave.

her first letter was ok but their response was, of course, attend more meetings!!.

Memorial: A Superstitious Event?

are the elders required to keep a lunation journal?.

it seems to me that all the focus of the moon phase and getting the "exact right time" of the day and year according to the jewish calendar very much overshadows any stories of jesus.

all this full moon fuss seems to me to be an "observance of times" which was a method of divination.. my question is this..... do jws expect something big to happen on memorial one day?
