  The reason why i brought this up is because i look at tiny details of everything that the Org does

  I really could'nt give a damn about race or colour

  I am just worried that brothers in Africa work very hard for this Org, including literally putting their lives at risk, and the least that this Org could do is to give them the recognition that they deserve,

  What has this Org really done for Blacks? besides one GB member by the name of Samuel Herd?

  I wish African people wake up one day and revolt against this cult.

  Armageddon: Coming April 23rd (or sooner)

  article i wrote for minnesota atheists, discussing the witnesses' enduring insistence that armageddon is "just around the corner:".

  click this.

  (if that clickable link doesn't work, it's here: http://mnatheists.org/content/view/434/1/).

  Oh! that means if i commit a sin and I'm summoned to attend a JC 6 days before the 23rd, i can still survive Armageddon on technicality if i decide to appeal a DF judgement, because the End would have come before the end of the 7 day window period.

  That's something!

  The longest prayer you had ever endured.

  by african GB Member in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  from personal experience i know it usually happens at the end of a district convention.

  it would be either the do, co or an experienced elder.. they usually go through everything that was said throughout the dc and thank jehovah for this and that...... last year i used my stop watch to record the time taken by our do,.

  by the time he said amen!

  This question is directed to Ex-Elders, Aposto Elders, Doubting Elders: Is there a benchmark/guideline on the length of the prayer, and does the length reflect on the spirituality and maturity of the person giving the prayer?

  I recorded the prayer in Johannesburg Stadium, South Africa, on the 13th of December 2009, the DO's name Bro. S Mrwebi.

  I hope I did'nt give too much specific info that could land me in trouble with my Elders as I am still active and soon to be MS.

  Why was this religion started in America, instead of a more "Biblical" country?

  Why is the GB almost entirely made up of white American men?

  Why do they keep ignoring Africa, even though the most increase in members happens here?

  Why did they handle Malawi issue differently as opposed to Mexico?

  no longer a JW annoucement

  by asilentone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if they make announcement in the kh that person is no longer a jw, do they treat them as disfellowshipped?

  they made annoucement for my friend that is no longer a jw, his girflfriend invited me to go bowling.

  i told her that i cannot do that because since i am a fader and i do not want to get caught since i have jw family ties.

  Why can't they allow an "unrepentant" JW to say goodbye to the cong,..PERHAPS JUST BEFORE THE ANNOUNCEMENT?
