  In love with disfellowshipped JW

  by Amberlou in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i started dating a coworker who is a divorced jw.

  found out he was disfellowshipped, and he was trying to figure out how to make things work.

  i am not a jw, and his family is not supportive of the relationship.

  My guess is...there are many on this board who are still serving as elders or ministerial servants. However there are a good many more who no longer serve as such. No doubt many of these ones refused to serve though there was much pleading & begging almost to the point of harrassment by other congregation elders to return.

  My Mom died last week.

  last wednesday my elder brother called me to let me know mom had died.

  she was 97 years old and was in a nursing home for the last 7 years.

  her mind had left her many years ago to the point she didn't recognize any of us.

  Our congregation was reminded that the CO's visit is in the first week of June & that the entire program will be via zoom. Then came this hilarious announcement while all forms of face to face public witnessing is on hold until further notice due to covid19: "All who are able are encouraged to auxiliary pioneer for the month of June with reduced 30 hour requirement."🤣🤣🤣

  This religion has a one-track mind & is a joke!

  As of a BOE letter dated May 16th Kingdom Halls can now be used for judicial matters. Makes sense...Congregations are going to be bombarded with judicial matters if they put them off much longer. I've heard in my neck of the woods that marital problems among JWs are on the rise due to couples being cooped-up together. So the society is allowing/encouraging elders to handle such issues now before couples start 'killing' one another.🤣

  Do Jw's Dress up in meeting clothes for Zoom meetings?

  by jeremiah18:5-10 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am just curious if anyone knows whether the "friends" still are required to wear "meeting clothes" for attending meetings through zoom?

  such emphasis on dressing in a godly manner over the decades, would be interesting if some attend in pajamas or their work clothes, no makeup, etc....

  Midweek Meeting looooooooong prayers.

  by Davros in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing that aggravates me is long concluding prayers, especially at the midweek meeting.

  you work all day, rush home, grab a quick bite, dress up in meeting clothes.

  then, go to the meeting.

  Oh...how I can relate to this thread! You'd think Davros & I attend the same congregation! Aside from the long repetitive prayers...there's those elders and ministerial servants who repeatedly mention 'Jehovah' over and over and over again. The most I've counted someone saying 'Jehovah' in a prayer was 15 times.

  Just tell that snoopy knucklehead elder you're in the middle of switching carriers but that the number will remain the same, then ask:..."and by the way why do you need that information in the first place?'
