so, i've been out for 2 years now.
just picked up and walked away from the wacky religion that tried to control every part of my life through fear and guilt.
i've been wondering as the months go by what would happen when an elder finally showed up at my door and pressed the issue as to why i ceased all activity and then tried to reactivate me.
Amazing that a hall already shares by 3 congregations is to be sold off and the Publishers told to drive an additional hour to get back and forth to the meeting in a hall already shared by 4 congregations, now to be 7. Never heard of this.
The organization must really be in dire straits.
last night i had to suffer through the bs spouted by the new co. some garbage about the bible transforming us as people.
he went on and on about how we can look good to people at the hall who see the outside, but the bible will tell us what we are inside.. then he proceeded to use a few select verses to say sex is bad and so is the desire for it.
a healthy bank account or savings is wrong, shouldn't have that either.
So again no talk about developing the fruitage of the spirit, displaying Christlike compassion, or caring for the sick, elderly and fatherless boy.
How are they then the true Christians again? Sounds more like a Cult to me...
i went to the circuit assembly with my wife yesterday.
i have to keep peace in the family.
there were less than 1,000 people for both the morning and the afternoon sessions.
just one week from the zone overseer's visit is the announcement that the magazine production by the australia branch will end in a few months.
the task being transferred to the japan branch.
while i'm not 100% certain, i understand that this effectively ends all major printing bar perhaps tracts, handbills and other loose items.
following cited on page six: of ps 75:4, 5, 10—what is signified by the term “horn”?
the horns of an animal are a powerful weapon.
hence, the term “horn” figuratively denotes power, or strength.

i'm just wondering if jws keep inviting you back or if they've given up on you.. they haven't invited me for years..
i don't believe it, but it is on jw broadcasting: how to make memorial bread.. it is just like the 24/kitchen broadcasting.. http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodministry/pub-jwbrd_201603_2_video.
should a teen, a child of a believing mother, cooperate in the fact-gathering of the elders into the waywardness (not sex related, hopefully) of some local teenagers?
what scenarios can you see playing out?
all teens to clam up?
