Celebrating small victories

by StarTrekAngel in

don't want to get into a lot of detail but it seems like my wife is finally having some flashes of awareness.

she's got them before, but not in very touchy subjects.

she was willing to seat down with me and look over some websites talking about some very controversial subjects that i do not dare to write about at the moment.

So, so happy for you and your wife. Slow and steady...you are wise.

There certainly appears to be a distinct class of educated wealthy JWs that sit apart from the normal rank and file JW. Do we know if these JW heavies are part of the select group of 500 men or so that actually make up "The Society"? Or are they just part of that mysterious "patron class" that have been taught the green ack ack adack secret handshake?

It would help if there was a list of the "500" wouldnt it?

I am guessing that is not public information perhaps?

special assembly was attended by 30,000 and 173 was baptized.. see video-footage given by english language belgian web site.. (interestingly, the press spokesman was a sister).. http://deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws.english.

Quite frankly I am amazed at the baptismal numbers coming out of Europe. I thought Europe was becoming decidedly secular?

I wonder what accounts for this?

Should I hit send button as is? Change? Or just hit delete?

by Lied2NoMore in

so after being deleted because of my comment on her instagram post by my sister-in-law i got a text from her stating she didn't want a debate on instagram and the scripture i posted would not apply to satan, they are worried about me, go see elders, return to jehovah, or else you won't get life, etc etc.... i'm ready to respond with the following reply:.

so....hit send?

make changes?

millie210

You asked for opinions so here is mine...

in my JW days if I received that message, I would delete it without considering one word of it.

why?

you sound very angry.

you cover too many points.

I would say dont send it.

IF you decide to send something pick the 4 or 5 sentences that most make your point. Send just that.

All the best to you whatever you decide. I know its hard dealing with family.

They push buttons we dont even know we have!

Try Other Religions

by Sofia Lose in

sometimes i get a strong curiosity to start dabbling into other religions, other faiths, you know?

really different ones such as islam, judaism, hinduism, etc.. has anyone here looked into something else?

has your spirituality been satisfied by any other than christianity?.

Thats a good explanation Gio, thank you.

The satetments, philosophy, what have you, I find resonating the most with me at the moment are those of Bertrand Russell.

Is the Org Putting Elders in the Firing Line?

by The Searcher in

in view of the conti verdict of negligence by the org, are elders who are selected by the c.o.

now in a precarious position?

"charity trustees face potential liabilities in a number of ways.

At some point in life, I have been the daughter of, the sister of, the wife of and the mother of

an elder.

They are either men that are of the greatest integrity and character or they are small town cops who finally found a job.

Then there is the occasional crazy but they are self limiting to a degree.

I couldnt write enough about the good ones (a great many of them are here amongst us)

the bad ones?

Make me believe firing squads.are a good idea.

Well isn't this a bunch of BS

by Doctor Who in

well, our sister congregation just had their co visit this past week.

on saturday afternoon, i was talking to a couple of ministerial servants in that congregation and they stated that an unmarried brother is not fulfilling to the max what jehovah wants of us.

they stated that the co went on a tirade that if you are unmarried you are being selfish and not following what jehovah wanted for mankind since he created eve as a compliment for the man.

I think you have the idea John Aquila.

that would also work to even out the ratio of men to women if the men are tied by all the ties that bind and the left over women feel they are giving God their all.....

LOL Gio,

All I can figure is the question about feeling a strong affinity for nature...but I didnt mean that strong!

I put it down to me being in such a state of flux right now.

Being Org trained my entire life I have so much to learn about what I believe and what I think.

What did your test reveal?
