My JW Elder Brother Passed Away

by minimus in

jw
friends

he was basically a good man, just a believer in the religion.

when we were both elders we were best of friends and then things deteriorated when i was not an elder for a while.

then after becoming an elder again, i slowly drifted away from the religion and he drifted further away from me.

Gorbatchov

Sorry to hear! My condolences and take care.

Shallowness in 4/29 Watchtower study

by Rattigan350 in

move forward as a spiritual person.. paragraph 2 "robert and his wife began passing time by quizzing each other on bible subjects.

his wife, a spiritually strong person, had no problem answering the questions, but robert found himself constantly embarrassed, not knowing what to say.".

there is no indication of how she fits the template of a spiritual person other than she can answer bible trivia.

Gorbatchov

Typical a JW article: for the simple people.

Jo Publisher working 60 hours a day and his wife wins the game.

There are other things in life...

Mother is terrified over talks of peace.

by Searching in

just spoke with my mother about the summit for north and south korea, her face turned a ghastly pale and she refused to talk to me about it afterwards.

i know exactly what is on her mind, and i'm not sure if i can say or do anything to assuage her fears about this being a fulfillment of prophecy.

any suggestions on what i could perhaps tell her to try and steer her from her line of thinking?

Gorbatchov

The peace and security (tm) was in 1988 or something like that, with all that religion leaders praying for peace during the Year of Peace, in Asisi, Italy, wasn’t it?

😜

Are You Proud of Your Country?

by snugglebunny in

jw
friends

some people are of the opinion that it doesn't make any sense to be proud of one's nationality because we had nothing to do with where we were born.

the decision wasn't ours.

they opine that it's ludicrous to be proud of our countries' prior achievements if we had no part in those achievements because we weren't even around then.

Gorbatchov

Not really proud, but satisfied.

The Netherlands. A pirate bay. You can do and say what you want. No big difference between rich and poor.

Not bad.

"The last DAYS?"

by eyeuse2badub in

i was asked last sunday, after a meeting that i attended with my wife, by a good friend if i believed that these were indeed the "last days".

what prompted his question was the public talk given by a young man that i have known since he was 7 years old and is now an elder at 30.. the talk made mention several times that we are 'definitely' living in the "last days".

i assume that the expression "last days" was prominent in the outline.. i hope that he way i answered my friend's question jump started his thinking.

2018 Courage Convention video invitation

by Listener in

the video invitation for the 2018 convention is just creepy.

i thought it was some parody at first as it seems 'dark'.it begins with a young man being pushed whilst standing at his locker and the voice over says that 'in critical times we need courage more than ever'.

next, comes a clip of a male putting his hand on the shoulder of a female worker, the look she gives him would be enough to give him nightmares for the next year.

Gorbatchov

They know exactly what their target point is. Internal recrutement. The message is far more important to tell the rank and file how bad the outside world is and not to flee away from "mother".

albanian; arabic; armenian; chinese traditional 2017; danish 2017; dutch-netherlands 2017; estonian; haitian creole; italian 2017; korean 2014; modern greek 2017; norwegian 2017; portuguese 2015; romanian; russian; swahili 2017; swedish 2017; ukrainian; vietnamese.. not yet published: .

Gorbatchov

Before they released the revised version in 2017 here in Holland, they gave away thousands of the old version during the Bible exhibit the same year.

Special small edition.

Why? Can't understand.

And the revised version is only released for publishers. At the evening meeting most attendence got one, but some did not 😁
