  Mass Disfellowshippings of Inactive Ones

  the word out of bethel is of a mass purge the likes of the 1980's.. there's also possible public reproofs handed out for irregular ones.. .

  the scriptures they are using to support this:.

  the very ones keeping away from you will perish.

  Forum updates, issues and performance

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  first of all, thank you all for your patience while i made a few tweaks to the site.. i ended up actually going down a bit of a rabbit hole of updating one thing which required another thing be updated first and so on ... before i knew it i'd updated the framework platform and most of the sub-components used and then got carried away trying to do some optimizations as well.

  all worthwhile though and a little overdue.. anyway, i broke a few thing along the way but i also fixed a few things too ... erm, unfortunately they didn't always quite match up so there are still a few things outstanding that i need to fix and am working on.. but, i'm hoping that dispite the short-term pain the site should now load and run just a little bit faster for you.

  well, that's the intention - i'd be interested to hear how you find it.

  how can i tell without even looking at the schedule that it is time for the review?

  my wife decides she is not going to the meeting.

  she told me earlier this week we had an invitation for dinner/drinks with one of our neighbors down the street.

  Yes, our attendance was down for that very reason. We got a good parking space. It's not my favourite night, too. First you need to study the Jeremiah book. the Oral review, The service meeting had something to be studied as well. WTF, are we given homework

  My Jimi Hendrix experience

  by confusedandalone in

  as a 13 year old a friend of mine had a jimi hendrix record and told me if we play it backwards that they said words.

  he bought the record from a shop not far from where we lived and we were the only family that still had a record player.

  so we played the record and i spun it backwards andnothing happened.

  It's funny, but my mother loved it when I played Jimi Hendrix. She especially liked," Foxey Lady, and Purple Haze". I used to play guitar at some of the witnes gatherings, and those two songs where the most requested songs. Those songs, and "Stairway to Heaven" were the favourites.

  jayne halliburton turned 18 one month ago, just prior to her most recent hospitalization.

  she has been in and out of shady grove hospital for most of her adolescence because of a uterus problem that causes considerable bleeding.

  jayne is a member of the christian science faith.

  That's interesting, CC

  I wasn't aware that Christian Sience also abstained from blood.

  I thought that the Society letter stated that they could never serve again.

  There is also the legal matter, depending in what country that you happen to live. You could let the police know about what happened, in Canada, and they will treat the matter confidentially. They may arrest him, based on evidence.
