i thought i was back on the jw radar after my jw daughter had a local elder call on me back in 2011 - but apparently not.
he obviously didn't let his elders know i lived here, no record was kept for posterity and just called my daughter telling her that her " dad has differences with the organization " because he never called back on me as he promised to talk again.
as i'm just inactive for 10 years.. so these two older jw ladys come knocking yesterday - one lady about 57 and the other lady older about 71 yrs.old ( i asked how long they had been jw's and told me they both have been in 30 years.
Nicely thought out and expressed...those thoughts and information given should give food for thought to them. If not soon they should stay in their memory and brought back to mind when someone or something happens in a similar way... and that will help them see the fallacy in the Wt org. Time will tell, it's information like this that helped me.

the other side of sexual abuse: more boys victims.

This is sad news...and not reported on, or at least not enough media coverage on males being abused.
The lack of comments here, shows apathy (at least to me) for males being abused...are females the only 'real' victims of abuse?

jws concept of time is definitley bizarre.
on a website recently some brothers argued that if the end didn't come for another 100 years then that was not really a long time.
jws always look at time in relation to god's supposed standard of a 1000 years being just one day but perhaps they should revise their estimates to human timescales.. human life expectancy is on average 70 to 80 years.
Depends on what ur waiting for...

so after the annual meeting, on sunday, the elders want to talk with my family.
i do not like this one bit.
perhaps i am being exposed.
If it is something-else have them state what it is beforehand, and if it directed at u then the meeting will be with u alone.
Be kind yet firm....be humble yet assure them this is your decision and not anyone else's.
They know why they want to talk to u so you should know why beforehand.
Quote this: 1 Cor. 14:33, 40: “God is a God, not of disorder, but of peace. . . . Let all things take place decently and by arrangement.”
Tell them this is how you conduct yourself, and u choose to know what their theme for this meeting is. Is it encouragement, fact finding or? Let them tell u what it is then respond with kindness yet be resolved...if it's for encouragement and u dont want it , tell them you will reach out if needed.
If its sonething else...then you will need time to prepare for it.

please share how your wt study went today...
Did not go...sorry no feed back.
However where I work most are active JWs and no one is talking. At least not to me. There are X-BetAllLights, elders, ms, pioneers, oh and a few inactive ones like me. I have tried to talk about this months study articles but no one wants to talk...as of last week.
Maybe tomorrow will be different after this weeks Wt study. One of the older ones (62) said Friday he was hoping Armageddon would get here soon. So many in this age bracket and older still firmly believe they will be saved by past promises from Jehovah the Org.

i have been rather scarce i know, i've been so very busy with work that i don't really have much time to log on, and we had someone come into our home and steal our laptop, so haven't been able to log on at home either.. work is still going very well.
it's not easy cold selling, but i've had a good few ads come in and keep me ticking over.
every now and again i pop because i simply don't know what else management want me to do, i'm doing everything i can.
GOOD FOR YOU...To awake even one will be a VICTORY!!!
