My worst quality is putting things off,it goes along with my slow fade.
And I think my strength is loyalty,once you have me as friend,I'll be there for you no matter what. That's why I always get in trouble for talking to disfellowshipped people.

A couple pioneers did this at my former congregation. They read the Bible and even used the Bible story book and the elderly people gathereed around them. One even admitted some fell asleep.
I read where for dementia patients music is more effective in reaching them. But, I doubt the Kingdom Melodies would do much good.
I read so many fine results have come from those who take therapy dogs into nursing homes. It really moves the patients so much more than giving them false hope.

Growing up as a Witness, I use to daydream about it,and what a fantastic life I would have. But,in reality,I never thought I would,and I haven't officially left yet,but I'm pretty much gone.

how important was the hope of the paradise to you? and what do you hope in now?
by Curtains inmany become and remain witnesses because of the hope of living in a paradise earth.
for those who have left how did you cope with the loss of this hope?
or do you still have this hope?.

Well, it isn't so much the loss of the paradise hope that bothers me. But, I look at all the injustice and suffering going on in the world and I feel hopeless again. I always was pacified that these things would be done away with,not that they didn't bother me any less.
On my way home from the store the other night, I went past a snow covered graveyard,and it overwhelmed me with sadness. It's like mournign the loss of those I lost all over again. The hope of a resurrection saved me from despair,and now it dawned on me how I'll never see them again. And I'm going to end up the same. But,then, that makes me want to live the rest of my life to the full.

What is happening to JWN ?...So many topics not relating to Jehovah's Witnesses!
by koolaid-man innote the home page..wow how it has changed.. jehovah's witness discussion forumthe place to discuss anything relating to jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower bible and tract society... or just make new friends!.
many of the posts have nothing to do with with jehovah's witnesses and new ones coming on this board would be turned off by the content of many of these off color posts.
foul inappropriate language which is not proper or suitable for exiting witnesses to visibly inspect.

Sometimes one needs a little break from all things dealing with Jehovah's Witnesses.

Hello and Welcome! I've noticed many Witnesses will talk to disfellowshipped/disassociated ones at a funeral,especially if it their relative who has passed. I personally thought it appropriate to express my sympathy to all family members no matter what their status as regards to the religion. This has been the case in my former congregation anyway.
Plus,you may have been away for so long,most probably are unsure of your situation.

Dub Logic!
by ranmac inyou know when you're in a dark room and someone suddenly flicks on the lights?
its very unpleasant isnt it?
that the same reason why jah reveals his light to us gradually over time.

I'd say the lights have been flickering on and off for some time now. I wonder if anyone has even bothered to pay the electric bill.
