Holy Crap, there is just so much wrong with this! Fear mongering at it's worst. There seems to be some kind of chaos and rioting going on outside but there they all sit in their 'Sunday going to meetin' clothes. Will the men ever get to lose the freakin ties? And where the heck did a pioneer couple get the money for a beautiful home and 60" flat screen TV? But let's give it all up for a one room apartment. This is really barf worthy! 30 years from now when that couple is looking at retirement with minimal Social Security coming in they will really know what it means to get along with less!

I don't know about most people but there is no way in hell I would open my door for someone to show me something on a tablet! I dont ever open my screen door for a salesperson, I tell them to leave it in the door if they have a piece of paper advertisement. Does anyone know what kind of reception this generally gets?

Isn't it wonderful how, even now, Jehovah helps his people? Prayer is so powerful.
by paul from cleveland in“i have to thank jehovah god for this,” serena williams told the crowd after receiving the trophy at the australian open in january, her sixth win there.
“i was down and out and he helped me today and i just said prayers”.

Paul, the parents of those children probably didn't buy a Watchtower when a JW knocked on their hut. Or maybe they did, so don't worry, they are receiving rich spiritual food. -

Holy crap on a cracker!!! Do they pay attention to what they say? Create class distinctions and showy display of one's means of life? Was this before their website with broadcasts of the GB showing off their bling bling gold rings and rolex watches? Why, why, why can't people see this? They check their brains at the door! -

I am so grateful for this site to keep me up on the world of all things JW. It explains so much of the goings on in my still in family members, like why sometimes there is a period of being shunned, then it seems to let up, then back to shunning, I guess at the whim of what is emphasized at the latest convention or magazine. I can now understand why a certain family member who for years joked about and flaunted a simple flip phone, adequate for caliing and texting, now has the latest iphone! When I heard about them getting it I thought huh? Why do they need that or how did they afford that? Well now I know it is practically a requirement. Guess they are just waiting for all the elderly to die off so they won't have print at all anymore. Can't really picture octogenarians sitting at the KH using an ipad or $600 smart phone! 📱 -

OMG, just saw footage of the disaster on my local Cleveland Ohio news. So frightening, but sounds like people are pulling together to help each other out in an orderly manner. My heart and thoughts go out to all in the area. -

Letter # 1 to the Governing Body of Jehovah's witnesses
by WITNESS-FOR-WATCHTOWER-REFORM inhere is my first letter i posted to the governing body.
i also hope that brothers on the writing committee who may be lurking on this site (and have some clout) read my letter and bring in change to this very flawed policy around confession of sins.. enjoy.
the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses.

They won't care because you used step by step logical reasoning, something they are not used to. Also they will mark you as an apostate because of your use of the Shepherd the Flock book, which is supposed to be for elders eyes only. They probably get letters like this everday that go directly into the waste bin in the mail room.

Hope you feel better. Sometimes sleep is the best thing for you. Going to the doc is good too, puts your mind at ease that you are are going to live to see another day no matter how rotten you feel now. 🌄 -

JWTV May Broadcast is up. hosted by an old burnt hot dog
by Dreamerdude inwhat's up with jw parents taking their minor children to such desolate places?
like the english family that took their little kids to the jungles of ecuador, and the australians that took their little ones to norfolk island where hardly anyone lives, and they are the only children in a congregation of 11 publishers?
is this a new form of child abuse?

I think I can understand what dreamerdude means. A member of my extended family recently went to Ecuador with two young children to do whatever something free for the borg. This wasnt a comfortable vacation on a sailboat with sunshine and fishing all day. This was in a very poor area. These kids are isolated, home schooled, and exposed to illness and disease they wouldn't be at home. They were out of touch during the recent earthquake. I guess the "great" learning experience would be there's no place like home?
