You are EVEN ALLOWED TO HAVE SEX with your marriage mate!!

by 2+2=5 in

quote from december 2012 study edition wt, we did it today - .

"even the desire for sexual pleasure with ones marriage mate is fitting and has its place.".

thanks faithfull slave.

Quarterback

I thought that the Pioneer position was having sex 50 hours a month, unless, it's the month of March, April, or when the CO visits your congregation. Then it's only 3o hrs of sex for the month.

In it's place, is a new light for me. So now we have to figure that out at our next family worship night. What if we decide the wrong place? Can you have other places, or only one place? In the past I have used the bedroom alot, but, we did use hotel rooms, and other bedrooms when visiting relatives(they weren't with us, I mean privately) Many we should have a question box on the KM to provide further clarification.

i jus got dissfellowshiped at th last week..i feel like dying..i attended th meetings yesterday and ita ws jus horrible..came back home in tears....... people i used to cal my friends nw cant look me in the eye..so heartbroken confused and giving up on life !.

Hi Chi,

Don't be too caught in this moment. It passes by quicker than you think.

You will feel alone, abandoned, and sad. This is the effect that the DF will bring. There have been many good comments made on this post to show you that many do care about you. Here is the important thing to know. Jehovah does care about you, too.

It may be easy for you to hurt yourself more when you are feeling this way, but, try and bring up your strengh. When next week comes, this experience will feel like a dull pain.

Hang in there.

A sample of a simple DA letter:

" Date

I do not wish to be a member of the Jehovah's Witness congregation at this time.

I will view any further contact from any of the Elders as a form of harassment.

Signed"

If your life, and standards don't offend JW's, then writing a DA letter is wasted. What you need is just a time out from the belief system. Just act peacefully with them while you distance yourself from them. This makes it possible to allow peaceful future returns to some friends that you may respect, and have missed.

If your life or standards are in conflict with their belief system, write the DA letter. But, the less written, the better. You, don't want those who will read it, to hang you on everyword that they may missinterpret.

Whatever happened to the "Fall of Babylon the Great" and the "drying up of the churches?

by villagegirl in

i am from the era of the babylon book, and all the wt predictions that the churches of christendom would "dry up".

the book babylone the great has fallen god's kingdom rules, said people would leave the churches of christendom, in droves and the ministers would have no more people in their churches while "god's organization" would see a tremendous increase, a huge overflowing great crowd, all streaming into the watchtower and coming to the "faithful and discreet slave" for instructions.

thirty years ago there were six million jw's , today after the "great increase", and " great crowd" is now ?

Quarterback

I really think that we are going to get some new understanding on the meaning of Babylon the Great at some future Annual Meeting where all the new points seem to be announced these days. It may come within the next five years when the matter remains silent and dormant until then.

Suspicious people? No, merely Canadian

by kurtbethel in

.

canadians are invited to explain this, if it isn't any big secret.

Quarterback

Our suspicious nature is ingrained in our minds during our childhood. Young children are trained early on how to operate a flashlight. Flashlights can be purchased so cheap at each Canadian Tire Store, so each family member has at least two of them. We usually master the art of using a flashlight with practicing with our cats as they chase the light beam. This is also a popular Canadian sport. The SPCA is not happy with us and are trying to ban this sport in our country.

Making the congregations pay for invitation printing

by Rattigan350 in

the memorial and district convention invitations have a space for each congregtion to put their local information on them.. the congregations then have to foot the bill, many times it is the service overseer personally, for the printing on them.. some print labels and the congregation puts them on, others print with their laser printer and wear them out.. at first the paper was so poor that the particles would destroy laster printers and make a dust storm.

commercial printers hated that paper.. the society should have a variable data printing system since they know the times of the memorial and convention for each congregation and they should print that while they print the initial invitation.. think if it, 12,000 congregations in the usa multipled by $50 on average cost to print or label each congregation's amounts to $600,000.

do that twice a year for 7 years and that is $8.4 million dollars.

What's this? Mess up some precious invitations. Did the Soc charge them?

I usually use my Iphone to update my calendar, on upcoming announcements from the platform. I know that others probably think I'm texting, but I don't give a dam.
