  Who from JWN would you most like to have dinner with?

  by laverite in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you could pick anyone from jwn to meet in real life to meet and have dinner with, who would that be?

  let's exclude all those who you are already friends with, who you know and love from jwn in real life.

  so or me, that excludes my friend ann and also curious butterfly.

  No one. I wish to be mysterious, aloof and unknown.

  but--i know who you are Punk--

  however --your secret is safe with me. this will cost you a beer next time.

  Can Anointed Members Be Disfellowshiped?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since the anointed class used to be the faithful and discreet slave, i wondered if and how they can be disciplined through being disfellowshiped?

  aren't they given a little more latitude in how they interpret scriptures and in what they say?

  do people in kingdom halls who have anointed members defer to them in any way?

  hello, first let me apologixe for both my spelling and my grammer in advance, both are not my strong points.. i'll keep this short.

  since i've been a child my mother has studied on and off with jw's ( i'm now 34) so i've been around it most of my life, i studied on and off myself for around 10 years.

  thank's to this site and jwfacts i'll never study or step foot inside a kingdom hall again.

  What piece of WT literature is worth holding onto, or have you kept? Why?

  by losingit in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have basically thrown away all of my bound volumes and loose wt and awake magazines.

  i kept some bpoks, the insight to the scriptures, god's love, the reasoning book, and daniel's prophecies (this was my favorite) .

  i held onto insight to the scriptures after reading some of ray franz's book, crisis of conscience.

  ive had no watchtower litter in my life for 30 years--not even a bible--no point.

  earlier this year i cleared my jw dad's house out--he went into a care home. all he wanted was his bible. all the books--and 1000's of old magazines--went to the tip. i washed my hands afterwards.

  Passed my Post Grad with 'Outstanding' grade! Shows it's never too late.

  i've just had the official results on my pgce.

  i'm not posting here to boast, but to encourage any who may have abandoned education because of the pressure as a jw, and who may feel that it's too late to return and achieve such goals.

  in the 1980s i stopped halfway through my b.ed honours and accepted a dip.h.e.
