This is a joke, right? AM3?

It's a day early for the broadcast assuming it is out on Monday 1st January 2018.

A funny one, mind.

by dantoole87 in

i'd like share why i went from being a teenager determined to work in full time service for jehovah my entire life, to now being on here commiserating with you all.

i use to be an atheist but i now believe in god.

but i'm not preachy about god.

freddo

Wow! You could write a book.

Oh ... you already have!

Welcome and thanks for sharing. Very much appreciated.

Grandma's Guilty Conscience

by m3tadata in

for the holidays my girlfriend and i had planned to travel home and enjoy some time in our home area and visit with all our families.

she has several siblings and both our parents are divorced and living separately so it was a really busy time traveling around visiting each home.

my girlfriend was never a jw, but as for me i have been df'd for about 7 years now.

There was also a mid week meeting a couple of months ago replaying the DF scandinavian girl video from the 2016 Regional Assembly where dearest mommy doesn't even pick up the phone to her DF'd daughter and by so not doing is instrumental in bringing her back into the fold.

QFR - Posting JW publications on a personal website/social media

by Listener in

the following is a qfr from the april, 2018 watchtower.

just a couple of articles back the organization was explaining how jws need to be encouraging and even when admonishing congregations jesus would start out with encouraging words.

we see none of this in the qfr, rather, it is heavy handed and legally incorrect.. why is it not permissible to post publications of jehovah’s witnesses on a personal website or on social media?.
