Even though I can only understand the English subtitles, tho persons interviewed appeared to be extremely fluent and articulate, as well as dressed appropriately for making a statement to the media. I hope this gets broad coverage there and would love to see similar interviews here.

(Of course, we in the US are too caught up in BLM riots -- I mean peaceful protests.)

Tips on a successful stumble

by Fadeaway1962 in

hi i don't mean tie my shoe laces together,.

i realize some theocatic warfare involved (lying) getting fed up with trying to fade .. how do jw family members react?.

DesirousOfChange

Our extended JW families sympathize with happened to our family. They realize the Eldubs handled things grossly wrong. Of course, they say Joe Hoover ultimately will settle it all and make all things right. We tell them that we are confident of that also, but if "these kind of things" are going on Borganizationally, there are some real issues that need addressed. Clearly Holy Spirit is not at the wheel or the Chariot. So we are "waiting on Joe Hoover" to make it right. But quite frankly, we are NOT going to "wait in the Kingdumb Hall". Better things to do.

Thus, if you have a reasonable excuse to "be stumbled", it may be the best solution to start your "fade".

Good luck!

Did you enjoy some of these back then?

by Mandrake in

i was bored to death this sunday, and suddenly i remembered that it could be worse if having to attend the public meeting on a sunday, even worse, not being assigned to the sound department, accomodating, being the mic guy, or reading the wt at the platform... then i realized that i hated just "attending" and sitting at meetings, those "privileges" were the only thing i enjoyed and made my last months inside bearable.... did you enjoy these assignments?

Back when I was a "true Believer", I truly believed (see how I did that?) that I was doing Joe Hoover's Will and "serving" His People and putting Kingdom interests first.

My wife even then always complained that I erred in putting our family in SECOND PLACE. (I was just trying to earn us all everlasting life!)

Are You Afraid To Publicity Express Your Opinion?

by minimus in

are you reticent to express your opinion when it comes to religion or politics?.

when we were jws , we had to be so careful that we didn’t stumble anyone.

are you comfortable saying that you don’t agree with someone or something even if it appears you are in the minority?

DesirousOfChange

Yeah. I'm pretty timid about my feelings on things like religion and politics.

What's in a wink? Lessons from Clinton, Corbyn and Rihanna ...

i have my normal medications to take; one white pill, one purple pill, one blue pill, one yellow pill ... you get the idea.. but having to watch the regional assembly on-line had me stressed.

i now realized i accidentally took too many of those big purple pills.
