  i moved recently and while unpacking my boxes i discovered my journal that i started keeping a few years ago but have since not written in.

  i think that whats in it may be helpful to some lurkers out there who are in the situation i was in at the time a lot of it was written.

  i dont have anyone.

  Circuit Assembly Bklyn NY -Saturday 4/6/02

  by worf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my sister went to the circuit assembly this past weekend here in bklyn ny.. they had a young sister on the platform helping to promote pioneering.the interesting point about this is that this young sister is attending college full time and actually said this in front of the audience.she brought out that she is going to college full-time and that since she "has only one more year left, she will wait to pioneer when she is in her last year of college because maybe then it probably won't be so hard.

  " these were her exact words.. i find this to be very interesting.

  those of us who have done parts or experiences or talks for circuit assemblies know that each talk and each part is scrutinized in practice sessions prior to the assembly in front of the circuit overseers.

  Hi, worf!

  My wife is from Flatbush and I've been to that assembly hall quite a few times. 946 is a small amount for that assembly hall.

  My wife used to go to Park Circle.

  worf- Feel free to e-mail me if you are from the area and we can talk more.

  Hey, Lisa!
  I posted a whole thread about the reason's why one can seperate from their spouse (in fact, YOU were the one who kept asking me to start it! LOL!)
  Anyway, in addition to the other's comments on THIS thread, I want to say that nothing is mentioned about EMOTIONAL abuse.
  Misleading bastards!

  Who Else Preaches???

  by Mister Biggs in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not that i am advocating one church over another.

  rather, i'm just trying to make the point that other religions (such as the two cited below) have an organized preaching work.

  jehovah's witnesses use the reasonings of, "who else carries out the commission to preach?

  Jehovah's Witnesses use the reasonings of, "Who else carries out the commission to preach?" When you try to show them that others indeed do follow the commission to preach, they will then reason that they are not teaching Bible truths. Of course the definition of 'Bible truths' is open to interpretation. If someone believes what the Witnesses teach, then that someone would believe that the Witnesses teach Bible truths. The same can be said for Mormon's, Adventists, and so forth.
  Of course, how would any religious organization grow if it didn't preach in one capacity or another?

  Witnesses are coming to my office

  by writerpen in

  2. friends

  ozziepost just posted concerning the may 15 watchtower about attending a funeral in a church.

  because my subscription for the watchtower has discontinued, i called the local kh and asked them to deliver the watchtowers to me.

  this is not in the area of where they know me, but i hope none of them recognize me when they come by.

  writerpen-

  Unless you go to the hall you won't get anymore JW mags.
  Of course, you could ask the JW's to put you on their magazine route but once they realize you aren't "progressing" in the "truth", your name will be taken off the magazine route faster than Oprah can eat a bucket of KFC.

  he has a nanny for the other two children, but the baby proved to much for one nanny.

  michael told her that she could have a helper with the stipulation that it be one of jehovahs witnesses.

  Kenneson-

  Chill. Freddy was borrowing that phrase from a comedian who once was making a joke about JW's. The comedian said so many JW's came to his door it was like they were trying to gang save him.
