  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am not a witness or ex-witness but rather a 35 year old mom engaging in a dialogue with witnesses who are coming to my door.

  (i may not change their minds but i'd like to plant seeds of doubt!

  ) i am trying to figure out what is behind a strategy (?

  'Prepare for Banning' A HOAX! READ INSIDE

  by ashitaka in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my friend called me last night and said that his mother heard a letter read on monday night at her congregation meeting that said that the rank and file should be prepared to be banned, to go underground, and persecution is coming soon, that halls would be taken, and such.

  that these things are definitely coming soon.

  could this be the spin that the wt is heading towards.....instead of facing the hard issues, make the issues the boogeyman and shut down the halls, giving the elders ultimate power?

  Starting studies not a priority

  by La Capra in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my best friend got to see something that i would have loved to see.

  he manages a gas station and mini-mart, and he is in the enviable position of being on someone's magazine route.

  i have been nagging him to bring me the magazines, but he keeps forgetting.

  2. friends

  tomorrow all the kids come back to school.

  the first day of school is something i always enjoy to its fullest, meeting all my new charges, wondering about all the things they will accomplish this coming year.

  a few days ago i received what is called a "student snapshot" about one of my new students, an incoming freshman.

  WERE YOU AFRAID OF THE ELDERS?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  lately, i see a trend going on regarding how congregation members view the elders.

  more and more, i hear people say "i wouldn't tell anything to the elders if they questioned me.years ago all an elder had to say is "we want to talk with you" and a meeting commenced.

  now, there is a view that the elders can't tell me what to do anymore.

  WHY R U AVOIDING this?

  by puzzled in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was just reading moxy's post "biggest mathematical miracle in the world" .

  and as i was reading all the logical reasons why it would have been impossible at least physically impossible, for that many israelites not to mention even one, to wonder through the desert 40 years and not leave a trace of their even having been there.. the only thing that seems to be more incredible then that is how many people on earth believe it.

  regardless of weather it's true or not what is it that continues to inspire millions and billions of people to continue to believe?

  TRIBUTE to a CIRCUIT OVERSEER

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  over the years, circuit servants and then circuit overseers came and went.

  i can only recall a handfull because the rest were unimpressive or i was not real active during the visit of some.

  most cos that i recall were humdrum with perhaps some single interesting feature or personality quirk.
