  PIÑATAS

  in most of latin america, and particularly in mexico, pinatas are a no no for jws.

  normally used for kids birthdays and christmas parties, pinatas are simply known to be inapropiate among jws and associated with paganism.

  as result you would never expect to see any of those spiritually dangerous monsters at a social gathering organized by a witness in good, medium, or even bad standing in the congregation because, why would you?!

  When I was recruited via d2d work I was told it was unlikely my daughter would ever start school Armageddon was that close.

  Not only did she grow up and get married she had a daughter herself who also grew up and now my little girl will become a grandmother in June and I will become a great grandmother!!!

  Why Armageddon Now?

  i've been thinking and here's what i've come up with.

  correct me if i'm wrong, but in the bible does it not state that the word would have to be preached throughout the entire inhabited earth for a witness to all people and then the end would come?.

  with the world being as vast as it is today, it would be practically impossible for the witnesses to speak to everyone in the world.

  It doesn't make any sense to a rational thinking person. Some-one very clever worked out how many people would need to be visited by every currently living witness and I can't remember the figure but it was a stupid un-achievable number like a million each or something.

  Plus they have just reduced the amount of hours each pioneer needs to maintain their title and rank but I don't suppose any active witnesses will even notice.

  It could be why they have launched the jw.org as a place for non-witnesses to go and they can then count those numbers. Non-thinking dubs will be fooled once again.

  Edited to add how the flip did their website come up? It wasn't me. Don't click on it

  Site issues: Jan 02 Update (Sign In)

  i've deployed a fix for people affected by sign-in issues caused by having multiple accounts associated with the same email address.

  here's how to activate the fix:.

  you must attempt to sign in using the email address associated with your account (not a username) and must have access to that mailbox.. if there are multiple accounts associated with the email address then you will be shown a warning message with the option to have an email sent to repair your account.. the email will contain a link to a page showing all the accounts associated with the same email address and allow you to select the one you want to be active (it will disassociate all the other accounts from the email address).. once you have completed the process then you should be able to sign in as normal.

  I tried to "like" your post EdenOne but it didn't work. I liked having the  post counter and the joining date too. A little flag would be awesome too, like some of the earlier members used to have on the old site. Poor old Simon. We want it all. x

  No longer to use "house to house record" slips and "please follow up slips"!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. beliefs

  a letter has just been read out indicating that effective immediately, witnesses are no longer to use the s-8 slip known as the "house to house" record slip, as well as the s-43 "please follow up" slip (usually used for foreign language people).. the letter stated that this is because of the changes in privacy laws etc that are becoming common in the world today.. i will try and get a copy of the full letter and post it asap.. .

  I remember when S8s were stopped and we all used little notebooks instead.

  So would that be Jws following the letter of the law or the spirit of the law I wonder.
