I have a feeling that Sunday is the correct day, but what if you’re hungry and a lover of chocolate? After all, chocolate isn’t just for easter.
Anyone know?
what did lazarus "die" from, anyway?
how can we be sure he was not in a coma?
how can we be sure this was not a staged event?

bethel lunchtime....their is always a young brother who eats more potatoes or chicken etc.
leaving the plate empty and others from his table scrounging from other "less hungry" tables.
so some writer with a chip on his shoulder writes this article.. watchtower 1974 p.167 "glutton...fails to show love for jehovah.
Funny what you say about the extremely obese pioneer brother – we had one like that in our congregation – and someone at the doors actually commented on how hypocritical it was of him to be preaching to other people about improving their lives when he obviously couldn’t control his own!!!
The pioneer brother was a really nice guy (sent me a letter of encouragement when I stopped coming to the meetings) but the guy at the door did have a point.
so......... it started in 1998 when we were disfellowshipped (my husband and i) for the big a word.
apostacy!
going against our baptismal question agreement.. my husband already partook inside.
Thanks Justmom and AGuest for explaining your reasons for going.
...well, as was explained to me anyway.. since countries that were previously under ban are now able to report, this has resulted in the partaker numbers to go up.. .
.
um, yeah... .
I have been wondering, what if more JWs are taking more notice of what the Bible says, regardless of what the FDS says, and are recognizing the Bible’s message of a heavenly life when they die?
Perhaps people are becoming more aware of the Bible’s message, and they are ignoring the WTS and acting on their own conscience, based on their own interpretation of the scriptures.
I don’t think the idea of these people being mentally ill will stick. Too many are partaking, and if these ones are normal JWs, then the JWs in their congregations may start thinking about things.
...........at the kid's playground swings.
i hate the monkey bars since my feet drag on the ground!.
april fools!!!!!!!!!
LOL, great idea for an April Fool’s thread!!
so...memorial tonight, eh?
yup.
sunday was a fun meeting.
Here’s a deal, sd-7….
How about the next time you post, tell us what you have DONE to try to fix the situation you are in.
Whining about one’s lot in life is something mature adults may only do on the odd occasion, but once you’ve got it off your chest, you then start working on fixing the situation which is causing you hurt.
We can’t control everything in life, but we can control ourselves and our reactions to others’ actions.
Stop whining about your bitchy wife and how you get trodden on. She’s only doing it because you allow her to treat you that way. Be a man and stand up for yourself.
And TALK TO YOUR WIFE. You might find she’s just as scared and frightened as you are.
So how about it? Next time you post, either here or on a new thread, write about what you have said or done to rectify your situation.
hello my name is kerri and i was reinstated back into the truth last year after drifting away when i was younger.. im 28 and live in the nottinghamshire area and am looking forward to making new friends all over the world.. hope to hear from some of you soon.
kezx.
Umm, are you now a Witness?
And…. I don’t want to scare you, but there are a lot of ex-JWs and “apostates” who post on this board so if that bothers you….. I’m just letting you know.
brothers and sisters.
please take your seats.
the 2010 district convention of jehovahs witnesses is about to begin.
Looking back, I can’t believe how they treat the attendees like children with the announcement before the start of the session when they tell everyone to stand still. Last time that happened to me was in primary school!
So everyone would be standing still except for a few rebels who kept walking!! Last convention I attended I was one of those rebels!!
Then we were told in no uncertain terms to return to our seats so we could listen to 10 mins of Kingdom Melodies to get us in the mood for the next 2 mind-numbing hours of talks.
It's incredible how we allowed ourselves to be treated.
i sat in the car with some trepidation and minor nerves and walked the 200 yards to the k/h on this damp dreary night.
i was a bit early and was greeted pleasantly by a hall attendant who shook my hand an asked my name, as i walked inside to my surprise i recognized 3 of the brethren, one was a guy who was a reasonably good pal who dated a friend of mine all those years back, he exchanged glances and he blanked me, the others were a middle aged couple who were sat a few rows in front of me but no eye contact was made, i proceeded to sit down and another 2 sisters greeted me, so in the space of about 10 mins a grand total of 4 people have made the big effort to say hi.
the opening song commenced and the sister next to me kindly offered me her songbook.
Considering that disclosing your DA’d status would nullify you being included in the number of partakers, so I’m not sure what good it would bring, unless you sincerely believe in Christ being your saviour and all that jazz.
