"Commenting" at Meetings
by cameo-d in

i don't quite understand why you call it commenting.. when i attended meeting the question at end were read.. when people "commented" it was never a real comment.. it was just reading back word for word a sentence or two from the paragraph that answered the question.. i would think "commentary" would be something you put in your own words and give a personal statement about it.. .

why do you call it "comments" when it is more like reciting?.

or is it different in other kh?.

So, it happened. Packed my things and left
by aligot ripounsous in

some may remember, i wrote on an other thread that elders forbade me to give comments at the wt meeting, as i weaken the brothers' faith.

i wasn't satisfied with this outcome and, 10 days ago i sat with my wife on the front part of the kh (like in many khs, attendants pack on the back seats), in the middle of the row, right in front of the wt elder, and raised my hand insistently.

i was of course openly ignored but i didn't care, all that i wanted was verybody to see how they deal with independent members.

I took the '1914 Generation' prophecy seriously, did you? Do you even remember it?!
by nicolaou in

2. beliefs
i was born in 1964, 50 years after 1914. even in my teens i was doing the sums.

i had a worse case scenario figured out - if the 1914 generation could apply to babies and even if they lived to be a 120, i would still only be about 70 years old after they'd all died!

i figured i was part of the first wave of 'jehovah's people' that really would live to see the new order - guaranteed!!

WHY APOSTATES THEMSELVES ARE DOOMED!!!
by You Know in
1. jw
2. friends
all mankind stands condemned before god, and yet some are more reprehensible than others are.

as an example, christ called the original christian apostate, judas, the son of destruction.

so too, and not surprisingly, the activities of modern day apostates are said to awaken the judgment from of old, so that "the destruction of them is not slumbering.
