i am in my early 30s and woke up to ttatt in late 2012. my dad just turned 65 in june!
wow, i never saw that being possible.. .
he just got himself a computer and was able to get internet in a remote location where he is serving as an elder with my mom (where the need is great) i was happy to see how he was able to send me a few notes saying hi and i was able to share some pictures of my wife and family, etc.. .
So sad to know that your father has fallen under the influence of "Celtic Women." My wife loves them too!
But seriously, what you might want to appreciate about this is that you actually care about your father, and he seems to care about you (of course in a weird JW way).
If my JW mother died tomorrow, I honestly couldn't care less.
So although it can be difficult, enjoy what you have, as strange/disturbing/odd as it is.
so have we got any additional clarification since the initial announcement on this?
the change is almost 1 month away and we still don't know how this is going to work exactly?
so what's the deal?

Where is this from?
Let's suppose I went back in time 30 years. . . . .
to my old Bookstudy in 1984. . . . . .
BOOKSTUDY: "BOC! You're from 2014!??!?! What is the new system like? Has brother Faithful been resurrected yet?"
BOC: "Nah, actually everytihng is still going the same as ever. . .. No new system, no paradise. . . . There is this thing called the Internet though. Pretty cool. Your kids will love it."
BOOKSTUDY [gasps]
BOC : "Oh, I'm sorry, I left something out: After 100 years of Invisible Kingdom Rule, God's Kingdom produced a marvelous video about someone imagining what the resurrection/new system will be like."
BOOKSTUDY : "You are an imposter! An apostate! An apostate imposter from HELLL!!!!!!!! AHHAHHHAHAHHHHHHAAAAAAA!!!! Run for your life's, it's Satan himself trying to destroy our faith!"
BOC: "Actually the video was quite well produced. . . "
if push came to shove and it was a showdown for loyalty to the organization or not following whatever decrees coming heir way, what percentage would remain loyal to the organization?
.
I would say about 50%
of course this won't work for everyone.
unless you can pull it off.. .
i'm 3rd generation of 50 years .
Interesting WTFREE. I always kind of wondered, So who would they go to if they were threatened? The police?
Sure, for child molesters, we know that the answer is "NO."
But for apostates who threaten them with violence, no call to the police? What would they even say?
"We threatened to destroy this guy's family for buying a lottery ticket/thinking differently from us/etc. , and now he wants to kill us!"?
well after an almost 4 year sucessful fade including a move, they found me.
i was not home at the time, but they were asking all sorts of questions about me and my family, who lives where etc.
of course it was one of the busybody families in my former congregation.
Seriously, what if two Mormon elders came to your door asking you all kinds of personal information? - LOSTGENERATION
That is a great way of looking at it!
STILLIN - I agree with your statement about Carter. Also tried to correct the title via "the pencil," but to no avail.
POZTATE - African of European? Actually, those were swallows.
Could someone correct the title to "Animals Jehovah Made Sure Were on the Ark" please?
Ugh. . ..
