i remember thinking growing up that i wasn't sure it was the true religion but because my family were so sure of themselves and so many people believed it that i loved and respected it had to of been the truth.. then, i reasoned that because we were the only ones who fulfilled the preaching work that there was no other way any other religion could be the true religion except us.

plus, we used jehovah's name and didn't take it out of the bible but the preaching work was really the main thing that kept me in.... i was always afraid to really study just the bible because i knew a ton of things might not be right.

otherwise, why would so many jws be afraid to run into a greek scholar out in field service.

Wow leavingwt, what a story! Isn't it amazing how your child saved your life. I hope you tell him that story when he's old enough to understand.

it's so weird!

if you'd told me 18 months ago that i'd be voting today, i'd never have believed it.

got my voting card and just gotta tick some boxes or something like that .

Talk about being thrown in the deep end though - never voted before and there are 3 things to vote for at one time!

Will have to tune in to the results tomorrow to see if my vote mattered.

this is according to the pay attention to the flock book.

i can't remember the page.

i handled this situation a number of times but i may have missed a detail, these are the basics i am pretty sure.

Sadly we do have one over-"zealous" elder in our cong but we also have family in the BOE so maybe we'll get away with it.

If not, I ain't goin' down without a fight!

Does this person have regular contact with Witnesses, either in his neighborhood or through his employment?

What would happen in the case of family? That's pretty much the only association I have with jws, aside from one couple who still maintain a friendship with Gladring and I.

There was a phone number at the end of that piece. Has anyone phoned up? Might make an interesting audio clip!

....district conventions?.

i know that the jews went to jerusalem and had a couple of celebrations where they gathered in large numbers during the year but did the early christians do anything like that?

i'm a bit confused as to what the precedent for district conventions or assemblies are.. thanks for any info,.

Amha·aret

Agreed! Shame the people going can't see what it truly is tho.
