Alarm bells..."a burning hell where people suffer for eternity" is a belief contrary to the JW doctrine...just saying.

Is this the last chance for inactive and df'd ones?
by innerpeace inhi all, just wondering if there's anything going around about the elders receiving instruction from the society to give inactive ones and disfellowshipped ones one last chance to come back?
i ask because i have a still in family member that i received a message from, and urging me to go back.
the elders are apparently saying there is no time left.

When I was in I recall that anytime I heard things about the close proximity of the end at a district convention or special assembly I thought "the GB and DFS must know something we don't" and that's what they're trying to tell us...the end must be near. At this year's RC there were a series of videos focusing on the end such as the bunker video and no doubt it has raised a sense of urgency for the believers who are convinced that it's now or never for those sitting outside of the congregation.

to lie or to deceive (w 12/2016, par 18, 19)
by George One Time inwhy not use a biblical example, like jacob when deceiving his father isaac?
jehovah himself seems to have no problem with deceiving.
or 1 kings 22:19-22 "who will deceive ahab?

Anyone who watched Geoffrey Jackson testify at the ABC know how masterful he was at attempting to deceive the commission lawyers...one thing he overlooked was how well informed and prepared the lawyers were!

In the late 80's our congregation bought land to build a new kingdom hall but the regional building committee had us renovate the old one. After the renovation the hall was still too small and it was decided to build a new one, but not on the land that was purchased and paid for a few years prior. The old hall was adjacent to a medical centre and we shared half of the parking lot. The owners of the medical building offered to buy the hall so they would be the sole owners of all the parking spaces. Instead the congregation sold the hall and parking rights to a Pentecostal church...I guess they were offering more for a hall that was conveniently renovated on our dime just before the sale...WT real estate business at its best.

Those formula prayers. I want to scream
by stillin inwhen the co is visiting, i think i hear "thank you , jehovah, for this special week of activity" until i want to vomit.. also "jehovah, please remember those sick and afflicted.
we pray that they can make a recovery and be back with us.".
stale, canned, institutionalized garble.

A couple months back I had JW family visit us. Of course they know that I am inactive and asked if I minded them praying before the meal and I didn't object. Still when my brother thanked God for the food on the table I had to bite my tongue not to tell him that I was the provider of the said food and that if God had anything to do with us being well fed God must also be held accountable for those who are starving. How would God decide who is deserving or not of this basic necessity of life? Iniquity in the world's distribution of wealth is much easier to explain than the partiality of a supposedly loving and just God.

Several years ago I worked on a KHALL project at an off-site location were all the woodwork, doors and cabinetry was being built. During that time I didn't shave and when it came time to go on site to install all we had built an elder told me I needed to shave if I wanted to work on site. Having a beard outweighed the weeks of hard work when it came to earning the privilege of working at the hall. Of course as a good JW I obeyed...

Wannaexit it's funny you said that because a few weeks ago I ran into an old JW friend who was doing cart witnessing in my old home town. I was passing through while on vacation and I had been growing a beard. Not having seen him for about 20 years he is not aware of my fade so I said the beard was a vacation thing but the brother next to him said that I must be up with my reading of the latest magazines...Jan WT? Is there something on JW org? I personally never go on that site but others may have seen something?
