  Fading is never 100% successful is it?

  by nicolaou in

  2. family

  mum phoned last night to see how we all are.

  after fifteen years away from meetings and my old jw life you'd think my fade could be called 'successful' and for the most part it is.

  .. my resentment at being lied to and having wasted over thirty years of my life has left me like a glass of water full to the brim, it only takes a tap to make a mess.

  Yes you are right. It is never over unless you df or da. Then your mother wouldn't talk to you and you could move on.

  Why the Deficit at the Circuit Assembly?

  by JT-LadyC in

  have you ever wondered why there is always a deficit at the circuit assembly?

  did you realize that before the program begins, the circuit is already in the red?

  many of the friends thought they were paying for the use of the building and covering the costs of the utilities, etc.

  I can see why they are so hell bent on counting people. The more people in attendance the more money the branch charges for the assembly.

  are our dead loved ones watching over us at all or are they really just gone now?

  I don't know where we go when we die, but it can't be that bad of a place because nobody has ever come back to complain about it.

  Are you an agronomist or a farmer? If so, I need your help. Related to Miracle Wheat

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  i am doing some investigation on the miracle wheat episode, and i have a question that i don't know the answer to, and i can't find the answer online.. it seems that, from what i have learnt online, that wheat is a self-pollinating, "perfect flower".

  this means that once there is a strain that has a quality that's desirable, all you have to do is plant it, and that feature will remain "forever".

  essentially the new plants are all clones.given that information, this statement by penton does not make sense:.

  I lied to the elders

  by atacrossroads in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i stopped attending meetings all together in january 2015. before that my attendance was irregular at best.

  my husband followed suit a few months ago after months of research, agony, and indecision on his part.

  from the very beginning i laid low and did not share with anyone what i found out about the witnesses because i did not want to be df'd.

  Atacrossroads: sounds like something my mom would do or say. They are blinded by the cult and use it as an excuse to be abusive. Or they are just plain abusive. I'm not sure which it is.

  The Forgotten Ones

  by ToesUp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just curious...is anyone hearing the older/infirm ones speaking out to others on how they are being treated in the congregation?

  without giving anything away, i have spoken to so many older ones (some are sickly or can't drive in the evening or can't drive at all) who can't make it to all the meetings, assemblies, etc., that are complaining on how they are being treated by the more righteous ones in the hall.

  the ones i have spoken to make the comment that it seems to be the younger elders that have less empathy and concern for these ones.

  If the publishers could report time for assisting older ones in the congregation this wouldn't be a problem.

  Literature being discontinued, including Isaiah's Prophecy and Reasoning book

  by Richard_I in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  congregations get an annual letter that tells what can be ordered for literature (it's mainly a list of audio cds/dvds for the deaf), but this time it included publications that will be discontinued, and this included the isaiah's prophecy book and the reasoning book, and i think i saw the draw close to jehovah book.

  i meant to take a picture of the letter but forgot.

  the branch is only going to give what they have on stock, when that stock depletes that's it, you won't be able to order those publications anymore.. this is in canada so i don't know if this is worldwide..
