If an elder's qualifications are to be reviewed when his child goes to college against WT admonition, shouldn't the same apply when his wife gets dangerous cosmetic when we are so close to when all imperfections will be corrected?

Remarkably stupid point in this week's Jeremiah book study - Jehovah's loving kindness
by sir82 inthe whole jeremiah book is an abomination, but a point in this week's study exceeded even its usual standards of inanity.. from page 144, paragraph 10:.
in our day, god continues to show loving-kindness in ways that directly benefit his worshippers.
consider the matter of prayer.

The milk jug I pray to shows loving kindness to me, as it doesn't tire listening to me complaining about my lot in life...

DC "Jehovah's Witnesses have been banned"
by Separation of Powers inseveral weeks ago, i had the opportunity to attend one of the dc.
the final drama was quite interesting as it depicted a "ban" on the jehovah's witness religion without an explanation as to why?
i'm sure many in the audience pondered on what they had learned from their previous studies i.e that babylon the great would fall and then that gog of magog would eventually turn his attention to the organization.

Unlike bible dramas of the past, today's DC dramas are pure fiction. I told my wife that if I wanted to see fiction I would go to the movies where there's real actors and a real screenplay. 2010 is when I saw my last poor fiction drama on how Jews returned to Jerusalem to finally get trapped in 70...I also learned how elders of old kept records of hours spent in the ministry...Bible book, chapter and verse please!

Zealous Witnesses who never had children and regret it now.
by MsGrowingGirl20 ini had two close friends in the org.
one is in her early thirties and got married last year and the other one is single and in her late twenties.
after reading coc, i couldn't help but feel sad at how ray and his wife felt regret at putting the religion first and not having any children.

Everything in life that brings me happiness results from disobeying the WT...while everything causing me grief is a direct consequence from believing their BS. I got married in 1973...some brothers and JW relatives refused to attend our wedding because it was not right to get married so close to the end...40 years later I'm still in love with my wife...we decided to have children against the instructions from the society...today these children and grandchildren are the joy of our lives. I didn't pursue my education because it was discouraged by the WT...I always felt I had to work twice as hard as the others to make it to where I am today.

MW40 has been warned about us...his teacher has said Satan would pressure him and even persecute him to the hinder his progress in the truth. So now that he seen how apostates are evil he will study 3 times a week...pray more...become an unbaptize publisher and will get dunked at the next special assembly day in the fall...

Prayers that God answers. Any examples?
by punkofnice inwhen i believed in god i tried not to pray for anything selfish.. after a while i began to think that a lot of things i was asking my imaginary friend in the sky for were selfish for some reason.. i do not ever remember a single thing i prayed for ever being answered.
if there was the appearance of an answer it was because i did mental gymnastics to make it fit the delusion that god had actually answered me.
there was never an obvious message/answer from god.

The company I worked for 28 years shut down so I prayed and within days I found a job, so I didn't miss a single day of work. An elder told me Jehovah takes care of those who put Kingdom interests first...that job requires that I travel extensively which allowed me to fade...I wonder if this elder still believes that job is a blessing from God or a trap of Satan...
