The Wt study (Feb study edition) for today stated "The Jews had established a pattern

of worship. They regularly met together

in synagogues or at open-air meeting

places. They sang songs, prayed, and

discussed the Scriptures. Similar practices

are followed in Christian congregations

today." ....Is that really accurate? Did the Jews regularly have this Synagogue meeting each week?

It sounds that you didn't read the addendum to this letter from your comments. Great news. There will be a new APP to download on JW.Org. This new APP will track your dates of viewing Porn. When two full years pass. a Message comes up telling you are free to apply for the school. For those in poor countries such as Africa, where women walk around breasts exposed, they would be disqualified. Sorry, there is no justification for that. They are watching porn

i left in the 90's and marriage partners were similar in age at my former congregation.

We have a middle Age couple in our congregation who have commanded their widowed mother not to remarry. They were concerned about the inheritance. The Widowed mother has told them that she is lonely and she needs male companionship, but, they have power of attorney and forbid it. But, I think that when a woman reveals that she wears Depends, it's a deal breaker. I don't care if she is Aunt Jemina in the kitchen.

Just had a blow up with jw mom and she said the bible referenced angels being called gods, it that true?

by Question_Mans_interpretation in

long story short my mom was acting weird, snubbing me, when i tried bringing her grandkids to see her, so i tried again and this time i just went up and hugged her since she wouldn't hug me or acknowledge any affection.

when i released her i immediately saw her annoyed look and asked what?

bang, she unleashes a floodgate of how she's still mad at me for going to another church that believes the trinity.

It's great that you bring your children to your mom. The GB has tried to stop that from happening while they are trying to control those who have DA, or Df'd. They use the term Family Business, but don't offer any information on how to apply it. As far as the subject of gods are concerned, throughout history mankind has beleived in many gods. Jesus is also referenced as a god in the scriptures. But, this is not worth arguing about when family is involved. I know of some JW grandparents that miss out on seeing their grandchildren totally just because of arguments like this. When you visit with the children leave your beleifs behind, and when your mom brings up the past, just tell her to try and forgive the past, and let's work towards the future.

There will be some experiences mentioned about..oh yes, about that Barber that never wore a mack. But now, he has accepted the truth, and he wears a mack proudly. He attends the congregation meetings down in Penny Lane, He also participates in the Public Witnessing at Strawberry Fields. The people don't take anything real in Strawberry Fields, though. Some encouragement is given to overlook all that negative talk going on in the congregations. From now on it will not be tolerated when you call the Elders. a "Nowhere Man" or " Fool on the Hill"

I think that marrying one wife is enough. But I think that it should be a punishment and not as a blessing. Something like the judge sentences you for a crime, and decides that you messed up so here is your punishment, "Bang", you are now married.
