  my husband is gravely ill sedated and on a ventilator.

  he most likely isn't going to survive.

  we are not disfellowshipped.

  Memorial, why isn't there the post memorial excitement like there is with an assembly

  i know that the assembly is supposed to get the folks all excited about how close we are to the 'end of this system of things' but when my wife attends a memorial, she says nothing at all after it, even though this is supposed to be the most important night of the year for them..

  The Memorial was always regarded as a sombre event so it was considered disrespectful to go out afterwards and "celebrate".

  Emblem stupidity, and the bizarre dance of the confused memorial-taker

  well, i went along to the memorial with mrs cedars.

  it was my first since my "awakening" just less than a year ago.

  apparently i made a lot of people happy by being there (even if it was only building up false hopes), the most important of which were my family.

  i completely did not know the date of the memorial this year.

  just happened across a post on fb in which it was mentioned a few minutes ago.. this is a good thing - probably the first time in 50 years i did not know the day/time of the memorial celebration of jehovah's witnesses.

  i did know that today is good friday and that easter is sunday.

  i just went and filled out the form asking to be visited.

  i hope they come soon so i can work my super apostate magic!

  uh, if the super apostate magic doesn't work, i'll just let my huge great danes out onto the porch and freak the witnesses out followed by kicking them off my front porch... .

  I had one calling on me for a few visits until she gave up on me. I think she eventually suspected I was a *gasp* apostate!

  TO ALL LURKERS: the WTS approves of parents humilating their children!

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. jw

  no person can escape rendering an account to god.

  5 after showing that children are not free from rendering an account, the apostle paul goes on to stress the obligation of the parents before god: "and you, fathers, do not be irritating your children, but go on bringing them up in the discipline and authoritative advice of jehovah.

  since parents will render an account for the way they bring up their children, the question arises: what is jehovah's discipline?.

  An Elder's honest opinion...saw this on another site...thoughts?

  by "shadow elder".

  before i express my opinion to the readers and contributors to this website (www.ex-jw.com), i would like to explain who i am and to present my bona fides as someone qualified to comment on this website and jehovah's witnesses in general.. first of all, i am an active jehovah's witness living just outside of new york city.

  being a large metropolis, new york has many kingdom halls located within the city and several more in surrounding boroughs, counties, and suburbs.

  He claims that he wants to be anonymous, yet he gives out enough information that would identify him if you were in his circuit.

  Yes, he comes across with the air of superiority that many elders hold, but considering he's not out yet, I'd give him some slack. He's yet to learn the humility of realising that he ain't all that.
