  Thanks nic! Very interesting to read those all together. I knew those phrases were out there in the literature. When I was a JW, I remember reading phrases like that and feeling very embrarrassed - embarrassed by what other people would think, that weren't JWs, reading stuff like that.

  I take that back the closest I got to Christmas as a JW was when they cancelled the meeting altogether because of the weather. It doesn't get any better than that!

  I agree it was the closest I got to Christmas as a JW! But once, the speaker did show up about 1/2 way thru the WT study so he gave his talk after. What a huge letdown

  Special Bible talk entitled: “IS THERE A TRUE RELIGION FROM GOD’S STANDPOINT?” - Coming to a Kingdom Hall near you on Sunday, April 26, 2009

  the latest instalment is coming to convince everybody that there is only one channel - one god approved religion!.

  so folks, what arguments do you think the wts will use to "prove" that there is a true religion from god's standpoint?.

  lukewarm.

  "We missed you at the meeting"

  by tresdecu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have grown to hate this statement with a a passion.

  as an ms i vowed never to say it, because it never really sounded caring.

  it was just a subtle guilt trip.. anyway...my reason for starting this thread is that a 'bible study' i know, (who i am aquianted with other than him being a b.s.

  One day in FS, an elder said to another elder, 'Let's go by and visit them.

  um yah - that's another thing that irritates me. If you are going to get a visit because you were "missed" at the meetings, 99% chance the visit is going to come while the brother/sister is in field service or making shepherding calls. They usually will not take from their free time just to stop by and see how you are doing.

  Ha! I remember him. Most of the adults at the time didn't like him. But I was a kid and thought he was a blast. He was a little different though.

  Dear Broken Hearted,

  I'm so sorry for the loss of your child. I can't even imagine the pain you have gone through and are going through. I'll be thinking of you ((hugs)).

  Going through the obits was a common practice at my KH and also going through birth announcements and showing up at the door (or mailing) a bible story book.

  Whatever happened to the JW reasoning that "the greater number will cool off" ?

  They use the reasoning that best suits them at that particular time. When they start doing a backslide with memberships, they pull that gem out, or the one about the "cramped and narrow road". But if membership starts increasing then they use the "small one has become a mighty nation"

  They have an answer for everything
