  im df'd...been df'd for over 19 years already.

  Disfellowshipped at a funeral

  by Yogapants in

  recently at a funeral for an active jw, death was sudden and tragic.

  was surprised that that one of the disfellowshipped children of the deceased was comforted by the jw's at the funeral.

  i would say the majority hugged and said a few short words to the disfellowshipped child on the recieving line to comfort the family.

  When my dad died my disassociated daughter attended the funeral infomercial at the hall and several jw spoke with her while others totally ignored her. She wasn't invited to the gathering at my brother's house afterwards. Either way she wouldn't have attended knowing that their love bombing is only to get her to return to the cult.

  Scrutinizing the teaching of Jesus Christ year 1874 vs 1914

  by MacHislopp in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as the date of return of the lord jesus christ and the beginning of his invisible presence or parousia.

  what, then, about the parousia (presence) of christ?

  so a.d. 1914 marks the time of christs invisible return in spirit.

  Huge court victory against JW grandparents trying to indoctrinate their granddaughter!

  http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/jehovah-s-witness-grandparents-ordered-to-keep-faith-to-themselves-1.3282193.

  a pair of devout jehovah's witnesses have been ordered by a b.c.

  provincial court judge not to talk about religion in front of their four-year-old granddaughter.. the couple lost their bid for unsupervised access to the girl because they insisted on taking her to worship at their faith's kingdom hall despite the repeated objections of the child's mother.. the girl is identified only as a.w.

  I wonder if the WT provided legal advice to the grand parents to avoid the impact of an unfavorable judgement would have on similar cases in the future?

  I guess bethelites will need to record a new music video to replace Happy at Bethel...perhaps something to the tune of Queen's another one bites the dust...

  Remember when you could wear casual clothes to the congregation book study?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would get home from work,eat dinner,shower and put on jeans,a shirt and gym shoes to the book study.

  then,one day a letter was read where men would need to wear a suit and tie and the woman would have to wear dresses.

  it was stated in a letter that the change was due to, '' giving a better witness to anyone who would watch us walking into our local congregation or a neighbor's house.''.

  Late 50's until the book study was merged with the midweek meeting, I never wore casual clothes. In fact the only piece of clothing I was exempted of was the suit jacket because the homes didn't have air conditioning. Even as a child, we had the book study in our home and we had to dress as if we were at the kingdom hall.

  four dead and about a dozen seriously wounded, many more in less critical condition.yesterday, canlis restaurant, located near the scene and one of the most exclusive eateries in seattle, closed for the first time in its 65 year history and sent out its staff with food for the first responders.

  earlier today snugglebunny posted a pic of today's "daily text" which is based on a paragraph from the november 15th, 2013 article.

  My moment of clarity was at the 2010 DC when I watched all the old timers, sitting in their reserved section, bob their heads in approval and applaud profusely while being told of the new understanding regarding the generation...I realized that all of them would be dead in 15 years and that I had no desire to fill a seat in that section.

  Faulty Reasoning to Promote God's "Name"

  by Dissonant15 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as i am newly awoken, i am daily having epiphanies & revelations now.

  i've been casually wondering to myself since the propagandist broadcast about the name "jehovah" if it would be more proper to call him "yahweh" to myself.

  well tonight the answer suddenly came to me: it doesn't matter.

  I honored my dad's name without ever calling him Charles. I'm pretty sure he would have been insulted if I had called him Charlie because everyone around knew him by that name...

  I've decided to make a difference that REALLY matters

  by Mrs. Eden in

  2. experiences

  hello friends!today is a sad day for me, as seven months have gone by since my mother passed away after a decades-long fight with breast cancer..

  because the witnessing/preaching/teaching work doesn't make any sense to me anymore; because it's not about any "truth"; and because it's basically useless, i've decided to quit doing it.

  instead, i've decided to do something that actually can make a real difference in other people's lives.

  Good for you Mrs E. I know the feeling exactly. Since I no longer slave for the WTBTS corporation I have volunteered for different causes - raising money for prostate cancer, sick kids hospital and recently epilepsy. Since I was accustomed to be turned down or ignored in the door to door work, I have no issue canvassing and asking for donations. Group activities such as motorcycle rallies and fundraising BBQs are fun and a great way to make new friends. Mrs E you will find it very rewarding, much more than anything you may have done for the bOrg.
