Misquote in the Creation Book

by ILoveTTATT in

jw
friends

my dad came into the jw's because someone studied the "creation" book with him.

it pains me deeply that he sent me an e-mail recently saying that to keep the peace with my mom, he will stop communicating with me as much as possible.

i should communicate with him only if i have an emergency.. it upsets me to no end, but i cannot do anything or much about it.

Here a great document containing all (mis)quotes from the current "Origin of Life" brochure:

Anyone recall a time when your congregation came to the aid of a Brother or sister in need??

by jam in

i'm not talking about a individual, but a congregation as a whole.. i'm talking about a brother or sister that really hit hard times.. have there ever been an occasion where the brothers (elders).

decided to dip into the kh funds and help one in need????.

example, brother loose his job, get evicted, family of four or.

In the 40 years I was in, I have seen a lot of good things happen mainly on an individual basis. There were also the few who organized things somewhat larger - perhaps having a group the size of a bookstudy help someone out with something...but never at congregation level and certainly not out of congregation funds.

I have had discussions with pioneers "complaining" they did not have time to care enough for the sick and elderly, as they would otherwise fall short on their hours. I suggested they stop pioneering and focus on what really matters - didn't go down to well.

A lot is be warm and well fed, but there are some very sincere caring individuals.

The dumest thing an elder ever said to me..

by new hope and happiness in

conversation with an elder...i said " did you watch due south yesterday" and he said " ive got far more important things to do".

i mean that comment of his got me to thinking and wondering, and made me see he was missing out on living..and i think that comment was the straw that broke this boys faith, and started my i dont want to be a witness anymore.

kind of wierd how a simple question opened my eyes.. and now as i write this i am watching " the rebel" a 1950s western series, and its great and its even better my 9 year old is watching with me..and there is nothing more important than being happy.. .

Braces - I didn't get them as a kid - Armageddon was so near (1975), so got them myself when I started working as a young adult (23) - now 30 years ago!!!

What is this new Announcement to take place in August?

by Quarterback in

just heard from an elder.

he told me that there is another change to be announced in august.

he didn't know more about it.. any other info?.

Oppostate said: "In August 2014 there's a worldwide campaign to advertise JW.Org. JW's will be distributing brochures explaining JW.Org"

With this in mind, perhaps the public versions of the WT/AW will no longer be in print, just downloadable.

The cart witnessing does not offer the magazines, just the Bible teach book. Dubs are now also allowed to report tracts, so the need to report magazines has become somewhat obsolete.

My daughter's wedding dilemma

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

my daughter will be getting married this coming august.

she and her future husband are not jehovah's witnesses.

they will have a non-religious wedding ceremony.

Designer Stubble

It is HER day and she should invite who SHE wants. If this means others will decline, that is THEIR problem. It is also NOT YOUR day, so allow her to invite who SHE wants and do how SHE wants. If some pharisees decide not to come - shame on them.
