Hello everybody,

This is a question for those who know - I had a discussion about failed 1975 with JW and been told that WT never announced the year as the date of Armagedon and that I will not be able to find it in ANY WT publications. I dont have the publications and can't check it myself. Can anybody who have been in the organisation long enough or studied this question help me with it. Is it true that it was not published and if it was - where was it?

Sorry if this has already been covered on this forum.

Thank you

Thank you so much DGP for the links. I have 2 weeks before I will see him. So, I have a bit of time to get ready.

Thank you all very much for your replies. I hardly know anything about this organisation and every word from you helps.

I can not say that I am a very patient person, but I will try hard and do my best to help this person.

Chris, what questions do I have to ask, which answers I will probably have and how do I doubt and contrsdict them? I understand it should be based on bible and not just common sence? I have been reading on this forum that JW bible is translated the way to suit their doctrine and some lines are deliberately changed. I dont have JW bible, so it is a bit difficult to compare.

Wobble, I do think that the main reason for this person is the contact with his daughter, I remember him saying that he wants to see her future children growing. I do hope this is the main thing and I feel so bad I did not do my research about this organisation 2 years ago, then I would have had more chances.

Thank you again BP,

That's interesting. The back ground story is - the close friend of mine did not see his daughter (JW) for the years he was inactive, explaining that it would be "bad" for her. Was it over-protection?

Thank you for the answers.

Black Sheep, I sent you PM earlier.

I am a bit confussed. So, they can be inactive, but still allowed to communicate with other JW if they are not d/fed or shunned?

Thank you Broken Promises,

The person I am talking about was in for about 12 years, I understand a MS, time time out lasted for more then 2 years. What about door to door and taking part in congress and other similar things - is it allowed in this situation?

Thank you

Hello to everybody,

I am new here, non JW and never been.

I have a question - in the situation when JW is inactive for a while and decides to go back to organisation what is it like? How are they accepted back? What do they do at the meetings? Do they carry on from there they stopped or have to go through the "ladder" again as a newcomer?

I am sorry if this topic has already been discussed and sorry for the vocabulary - I am not entiterly sure what I am talking about.

Thank you,

T

i've been visiting this forum for quite awhile now, reading as much as i can about others in situations similar to mine.

i've learned alot but i think i am ready to share and will really appreciate whatever advice/thoughts anyone has to offer.. i'm a "wordly" gal (non-demoninational christian) and have been dating a jw for a year.

he has been a witness for about 34 yrs but has been inactive the past two due to the way he and his ex were treated when she was df'd for cheating/alcoholism.

Tatty

Hello DGP,

Could you, please explain what exactly you mean by that?

Personally, I find that I could have done a lot more for that witness if I had hidden my feelings.

Thank you
