Necessary Family Business (NFB) is now acceptable according to the weekly WT Study

by Quarterback in

during the last decade i've seen so many articles, and top speakers try to downplay that nfb policy.

now, this weeks wt study mentions a positive experience of someone applying having, "contact and applying nfb with a df relative".

NFB =

taking care of elderly family who thought they would be in the new system by now and are not finically prepared.

We certainly will not. So start being nice [ i.e. NFB] to your DF'd kids. You're going to need them.

It's official - the G.B. has replaced the Holy Spirit!

by The Searcher in

the watchtower november 2016, page 16, par.

"some may feel that they can interpret the bible on their own.

however, jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only* channel for dispensing spiritual food.

adding to this is how they changed the baptism questions in the 80's .

leaving out the holy spirit and adding their org. in it's place.

During a conversation while the attack on Nice was happening and talking about all the other recent violence ; I was reminded about The End.

A comment was made that 'The Message' would soon be changing. I asked 'like that the ark door will soon be closing?'. Answer, 'Yes'

What would you like to have known about JWs before deciding whether to get baptised?

by slimboyfat in

if you could go back in time and tell yourself one thing about jws would you do it?

and what would you choose to say to yourself?

do you think you could have convinced yourself not to get baptised if you chose the right thing to say?

What worked with all my children when they were teens....'if you get baptized and then get DF'd, most, or all of your Family and friends will shun you. Look at your cousin B. , see how everyone is treating her, including your father? She made one typical mistake. Are you sure you feel you will not break any of the rules? Do you think you can handle the shunning?'

That did it for them, and would have done it for me too.

I hope Armageddon doesn't come before we find out who Negan killed

by Zoos in

that's all i have to say.

In the comic books it's Glen,

though I hear it will be Daryl .

I can see this because the actor that plays him is starting a new series and has a movie coming out. Other than that, I wouldn't place him on the list as much as any other.

The writers say there is no clue or way too know , but that randomly someone will.

I could see Mishonne. Rick and her are too happy and overly willing to preserve this. It would destroy the rest of him.

I am leaving the JW's . I am alone and scared. Advice and help needed please

by scared and lonely in

i am sorry that on my first post i am asking for help and advice but i am at my wits end.

i have been brought up a witness all my life and it is all i know.

i am an ex-elder and pioneer and i don't know anybody outside of the congregation.. i have been unhappy for so long and wanted to leave.

Hi there scared and lonely

Just like in the kingdom hall , they are no guarantees. You can marry a pioneer sister, a bethelite , what ever, and end up with an awful person.

Well it's that way here too.

In fact you need to learn this one fast because this is just life. We were taught to lower our guard down while being around the brothers . You may feel you can do that here, Well, you cant, not without risks.

I would not say anything of a private nature anymore, [in P.M. , things can get shared around] especially to the ones demanding it. that is just to rich :-(

You have the opportunity to meet some nice and not so nice people here, if you want.

I would get help from a private source and maybe just general support from likeminded people here. Some times the less you say publicly, the better. Be careful when writing when your emotions are running high. your judgement goes out the door.

Take care of yourself
