  and they start delivering their message of judgment?

  what do you think will happen when they start knocking on doors and telling people that their families will be killed in armageddon because they did not believed in jehovah.

  i'm curious how people will react.

  Today, my wife is off to the Sunday meeting and an after-spiritual-banquet-get-together for the speaker.

  I'm staying home for this one.

  But, on our home computer's Chrome History I find there's a link to:

  https://www.livingsocial.com/deals/1605452-3-day-storm-survival-kit-for-1-or-2
  
  So while looking at the history on our desktop computer there's this link to this survival kit and I realize my wife is now shopping for a "tribulation survival kit". Hey and this one is on sale, who can resist right?
  

  I'm wondering which one she'll get a one or a two person kit.

  "Who is Morris III?" Showed up in an FB thread--A surprising answer followed.

  He has always been drop-dead poor and so was his whole extended family.

  It doesn't add up as StarTrekAngel said Tony^3 has claimed in public talks that he came from a wealthy family. Either he did or he didn't. Or maybe he's in the habit of telling different things to different folks... Ummm, and that's not so surprising either for one of the 7 G'warves!

  Hey Iamallcool, I think the extension is problematic when it comes to file formats.

  Use jpg or png, not jpeg.

  it makes me sad that they're promoting college now.

  That is certainly not the case. There was a meeting of the CO with elders with instructions that any elder with a son in college could lose their privilege of serving. And Gerrit Loesch's keynote talks at conventions were very clearly anti-college education.

  We make religious leaders print and sign their beliefs and hold them to account if anyone does evil because they follow them or is tolerated if they claim not to.

  Hear, hear!
  

  That's the way to deal with the fundamentalist terror in religion.
  --Or any other loud mouth that breathes murder and violence for whatever reason.
  If you incite to violence you should be held responsible!

  What devastating news, though! What can citizens with guns do against a truck mowing down civilians? I feel so very sad for the victims and their families!

  Serena

  by Darryl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was watching serena win yet another wimbledon title recently (congrats to her) but it got me to thinking about her for a moment.

  she identifies herself as a jw and if you look up any info on her it will tell you that her religion is jw so that means that she herself and the rest of the world identifies her as a jw.. for those of us who are df'd as well as those of you who are about to be df'd what is the reason?

  and what is the main difference between a df and a fade away?

  The 0rg instructs elders to make an investigative shepherding call on anyone claiming to be a JW who is not abiding by current JW standards of doctrine.

  If they don't claim to be a JW and have faded for years then the elders are counseled to let the matter be "held in abeyance".

  ------------------------
  

  Up until the later half of the 1980's, I believe, a non-baptized member of the congregation could be "disassociated" and shunned if they were found to have been guilty of a ''disfellowhipping'' offense.

  Then there came ''new light'', probably because of legal problems, that a non-baptized member of the congregation could only be announced as "no longer a publisher" and didn't get shunned to the N'th degree, no but, just seen as "bad association".

  Would all those who'd previously gotten ''disassociated'' and shunned now be un-shunned? No.
  Such is the WT's new light. (As in less-filling, must be ;- )
