  Okay, here's the deal, at the age you're at girls don't generally like younger guys. Maybe, if you wait a few years but by that time she'll probably be married (that's just how JWs are). She probably just liked the attention when she was younger. I went through something similar in my teens not realizing that flirting doesn't always lead to anything. It didn't help that I was terrible at meeting girls and JW life doesn't lend itself to meeting people your own age. I would say forget about her and try to meet more girls at school closer to your age.

  You'd probably have about 1 million active true believers and everybody else would eventually leave

  I think COs just report directly to the branch now. No one I knew ever had any clue what DOs did anyway.

  So What Drastic Money Change is Next?

  by OnTheWayOut in

  okay, they cheapened the product by getting rid of hardcover books.

  they reduced printing of mags.

  they drastically reduced the number of pieces of printed paper that members would "place" in people's hands in various ways, the biggest one being that they put them on a cart and don't encourage people to take them.they cut d.o.

  I think we'll definitely see the end of all printed materials except for field service magazines, bible teach books, and small tracts. Otherwise you better be using the app on your tablet. They will push the convenience of donating through recurring payments online but I doubt they'll force anyone, just apply guilt liberally like they always do. I think regional conventions will get smaller as they move to venues they can own and control. Which could backfire because part of the reason people donate at RCs is because they think it's expensive to rent the site.

  i am shaking all over right now.

  i think it's worse that the bunker video.. i used to think there was no way that these people would actually "drink the cool aid" if you get my drift, but seeing this video i am now not sure it could never happen.. having a wife who i love dearly trapped in this cult is really freaking me out right now...

  A tribulation where people still work at clothing stores and machine shops, attend board meetings, go to school and movie theaters, use their cell phones, etc., is no tribulation at all.

  I think they have been doing this kind of thing for awhile, when they chose to focus on one part they skip the details of what leads up to it. Only back when we studied the Revelation book did they really try to make sure the timeline made sense. Most people don't care anymore, another big message at the convention was "don't worry about the details of paradise, just make sure you get there," how very convenient.

  Yeah, I thought the JW's believed a "Great Tribulation" preceded this attack upon them. I thought they believed this tribulation would be pretty severe. (As in no flesh being saved if it lasted too long...)
  Have they abandoned this idea or are they taking liberties with their own teachings?

  Not really, they had just focused on the Gog of Magog thing earlier in the day so it was sort of a running theme. I'm guessing that they just assume that the JWs who are into prophecy will just remember how all of it is supposed to play out. Many others will just like the emotional appeal of having Jesus rescue them from "this system of things."

  Running into the forest unarmed - Obeying direction whether it seems reasonable or not

  Armed forces - Gog of Magog's final attack

  Jesus and the angels - Armageddon and JWs salvation

  The video was very effective and with the rest of the program helped to emphasize the fact that JWs need to obey all direction whether they make sense or not. They have been hitting on that since it was introduced in 2013 which is really odd. Makes you wonder what kind of directions they have in mind.

  Struggling to Live a Lie

  by Addison0998 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it’s been very difficult, much more than i first anticipated to live a lie, (be pimo and a regular active member) i still live with my parents but i plan on moving out at the end of the year, so i really need to keep it together.

  but i think people are starting to get suspicious that something is up.

  i’ve stopped commenting, going on service all the time, talking at the door, and occasionally voicing something, such as a question that no one has a good answer for, that makes people think, but ahah, thinking is dangerous and wrong so that is suspicious of course.

  Don't disassociate yourself! That's what they want people to do, hang in there and keep dropping those little hints to family and friends. Not big stuff just little things, sometimes those click better with people.

  Well, in this case I think the JWs would be right. I mean if you ask someone if you can come back and they say yes it would make sense that you would jot down their name and address.
