  I remember exactly what I would have thought when I was in. I would have felt sorry for those who left the congregation and were living happy lives. I would have said that you were sacrificing your eternal life for a few short years of happiness in this wicked system of things. You are trying to make your own paradise now instead of waiting for Jehovah to make it a reality. I would have thought you fooled by Satan. I was deluded of course.

  Glad for your happiness dear.

  it is all loaded with way too much sugar.

  i have found sugar free twirls online but they are sweetened with agave and splenda.

  i am not a fan of agave or splenda.

  Have you tried Googling this? There is stevia that you can use in a homemade dessert.

  This is just another "privelege" they give the pioneers so they feel like one of the elite members of the organization.

  Shunning for inactive ones?

  by frogonmytoe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i visited my sister in a small town in the midst of the country, the town has a population of 3,000 and there's about 70 in the cong.

  anyway, there was a local needs talk a few months ago about associating with family members who didn't live under your roof and no longer went to meetings.

  one family of an elder dad and three sons (one an elder too, the others have stopped going) and a daughter (still going but married a 'worldly') are quite prominent and one half of a typical congregational feud.

  They can do whatever they want to do. They think they are God's earthly visible organization. It's extreme thinking at its best.

  danger witness robinson!

  danger!!!

  today i added a new article to my blog highlighting the danger of power consolidation along with an overt attempt to ready millions for obeying irrational direction from this power.

  Very succinctly put, Marvin. The Watchtower should know better than to put this in writting. This just shows how power mad they are.

  it has been several years since my awakening.

  since then i have stopped pioneering, stopped doing temp work at bethel, stopped field service (at the most, i went out a few hours a month for the last couple of months), my meeting attendance has been around 50 percent or so.

  i have decided not to go back.

  I just created an account on jw.org

  by nonjwspouse in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just what is the purpose for it?

  i can get to all the stuff without an account except with the account i can look up meeting times of a local congo, or conventions, and donate to the wtbts.

  that seems to be it.in fact, once signed in that is all that is available and have to go back to being logged out to get anything else on the site.. what gives?
