  not to start some form of popularity contests here but i was wondering how popular some people were?

  how far did your network go in this organization?

  this question also pertains to those who are actively fading..

  it's nearly 2 months now but mrs punk finally left myself (mentally diseased apostate tm) with my 2 non kingdum hell attending boys.. she left when my jw daughter moved out and they moved in together.

  i don't think it'll be long before my daughter gets sick of her mum but there you go!!.

  i received a call from mrs punk to say: 'i didn't leave you because of the religion!'.

  Love Thy Neighbor? Not my JW neighbors.

  i live next to jw neighbors.

  i was a jw 1000 miles away over 20 years ago, never here.

  as far as i know, nobody here knows i once was, including the neighbors.. so there wouldn't be any reason for them to shun me.

  do what you think best - continue as is and know that there will be no reciprocation or, next time you'll be out of town, go knock on their door and ask them to please put yours out when they do their own...or let it go and leave their over-flowing receptacles for them to deal with. we are very fortunate to have fabulous neighbors - we do stuff for them - they do stuff for us......in the true spirit of christianity.

  Why did you pick the name you have now

  by label licker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering if your name describes what you saw, how you were treated when you were "in" or now "out", maybe your personality, ect.... i'm label licker and the why i picked this name was because of all the licking up one side of elders and down the other to either be an elder or ministerial servant.

  one time i was standing right in front of this brother who wasn't made an ms yet and he totally ignored me and talked right over my head speaking really loud trying to catch the co's attention.. got sick of watching the poor elderly sitting all alone or standing against the wall like a wall flower with noone to talk to and yet all these label lickers would take turns picking up the elders elderly parents and take them shopping and do their groceries at least four times a week while out in service, yet, there was noone there to take a meal to a sister who just got out of the hospital with a heart attack.

  when i had shown up at her apartment with a meal she asked if i could wash her private and change her bandages.

  144,000 before 1935?

  by nolongerconfused in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've always thought about this but have never received an answer on how the wbts explaiend the phenomenon.... to my understanding, every member of the wbts had the heavenly hope...however, by 2 classes were created...the heavenly, and earthly hope.... does anyone know the number of jw's as of that famous assembly of 1935 where the earthly hope was revealed and imposed?.

  what is the wbts explanation for the thousands of jw's who had heavenly hope now all of a sudden have the earthly hope?.

  this leads me to one conclusion...how dare this or any other organization determine what your hope or believe should be...shame on them.

  my mother was there - apparently the "other sheep" were family members, or people involved who really believed and wanted to be a part but did not feel anointed. so they were the jonadabs - but literature and everything was really geared for those with the heavenly hope - so it was determined that a secondary class was also being gathered - the great crowd of other sheep. they were announced as a distinct and separate group and there was much rejoicing. they could work hand in hand with the remnant fulfilling prophecy, with a hope of earthly eternal life in view.

  they were formally allowed the priviledge of baptism, and from that point on, most who came into the religion preferred an earthly future, so were deemed part of that every-burgeoning great crowd of faithful worshippers before the throne.

  back then too, those with the heavenly calling were very "offish" about family relationships - they were not destined to be a part of the earthly group so had some odd ideas about situations and relationships.
