my jw friends and i are discussing the current topic revolving around the downplaying of the anointed remnant's existence and role as contributors to the spiritual growth of the other sheep.. i took very seriously the opportunities i had to aid the many "anointed" whom i knew personally.

those i associated with were not crazy, self-deluded individuals but very devout christians who helped to ground me spiritually.

Hi CoCo.

I knew a brother who claimed to be of the anointed and partook at memorials.

He died recently. A very decent man. Very stubborn and self-minded, though.

And if he thought you were full of it he'd tell you right off. He had a hand-shake

like a vice and a rib crunching hug. He didn't seem very intellectual, more like

a regular Joe, and faithful to any WT doctrine in current vogue. There were

rumors at my Congregation that he'd stopped partaking. But they weren't

true, he partook till the year he died, I asked the brother who gave his

memorial-funeral talk. He didn't leave his wife with much of anything. She's

now a widow, she never partook of the emblems. She's in her mid 60's and

he was around the same age. I'm not sure if he ever wrote the Society but

maybe I recall him saying something about "checking with Bethel". He was

never an elder or a ministerial servant. He had a strong love for people in

the organization and a lot of people put up with his quirky ways because

he was easy to talk to, and very approachable with constant big grin and

squinty smiley eyes. (If you'd put him in a red suit and hat he'd make a perfect

Santa Claus :-) He was very zealous for field service and talked to anyone

and everyone.

I can help you some......but if you want a scan it would be better to PM Iloowy on JWS

The KM in JWS seems to be in Portuguese, but that's ok by me.

Number of memorial partakers given in July 2009 KM

by Mickey mouse in

for the uk it was 275 (that they're willing to declare anyway).

i don't know how that compares with last year.. how about in your country?.

cattails

Why would they publish UK numbers and not US numbers??

Because there's a highly connected mole in the UK branch.

Shhhhhh!

HOW DO JW'S CONSIDER THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS WHEN THEY DON'T ADHERE TO HIS TEACHINGS IN BIBLE?

by Divawriter in

how can jw's confess belief in jesus christ when they do not believe in his own words when he speaks of heaven???

jesus compared heaven in many parables, yet the jw's claim that the "new earth" is where they are going.

also, the belief that jesus was here in 1914(?

Most Detested WT Publication

by Nosferatu in

jw
friends

what is the wt publication you hated the most (i mean besides all of them?).

mine was that faggy pink "listening to the great teacher" book.

my mother tried to teach both me and the neighbor's worldly kid lessons from that book, and you know how embarrasing it is for a boy to be put straight by a pink book?.

cattails

RR, me too so tired of the nonsense in Rev's Climax!

Over and over and over again, and one more time!
