did you ever have to exclude a loved one from your wedding?.

it truly made me sad, when i read the posts on this particular thread.

I agree with Es, this is sickening. I literally felt nauseated reading this kind of attitude. And what was the offending relative's big offense? No, she wasn't an axe murderer. No, she wasn't a pedophile, rapist, or thief. She (gasp!) smoked! The horrors! This poor person was groveling, crawling back to the same people who had and continue to emotionally abuse her and they continue to kick her while she's down.

C'mon, she's alledgedly a beloved relative who probably has no intention of lighting up at the KH or the reception. Once again the crowd over there is all for putting an organization before family. Is it any wonder that the word cult is used in reference to the WTS?

Here's hoping she or the studying husband wises up fast and steers clear of such an abusive organization.

She lives for Jah, but will Jah let her live?

from http://www.greatcrowd.com/159ubb/forum3/html/000147.html.

i'm not the least bit afraid of being left alone, for jehovah is the one who eventually 'satisfies the desire of every living thing', and if i don't live that belief, i don't live for the kingdom.. the two things i am most afraid of is not qualifying to get there (new system) to see that promise come true, or losing sight of that promise by impatiently putting trust in my own ability to find the right guy now.. .

:"honest-hearted people (a WT expression of course)"

One, of many, WT sayings that really gets on my nerves. The backhanded insult it delivers, oh for the good ole days when the WTS didn't beat around the bush to speak ill of nonJWs.

My teeth grind everytime I think back to when my husband was telling an elder that when he was younger he didn't repond to "the Truth" because his heart wasn't right. Well, what does that say about someone who said that the WTS is full of malarky after perusing the Knowledge Book and other assorted WT literature?

Okay, I feel better....I'll go get a drink of water now...

Peace and blessings,

Hi Lindy/Antique,

Good to hear from you and I'm glad school is going well. Probably got pounded by that snow that came through on Friday (didn't you say you're in the Cleveland area?)

:I do have a brain, I do have a brain, I do have a brain. Hehehe.

I never doubted that, I have read your posts at H2O.

Stop by for a visit time to time,

Question re Shepherding

by Angharad in

jw
friends

i've been asked to post this on behalf on someone.. can a person have any action taken against them if they refuse to accept a shepherding call?.

the circumstances are that they do not go out on service, but are regular at meetings.

they want to serve jehovah, but have lost all faith in the eldership arrangement.

myMichelle

I have a question on this topic--are sheparding calls always held at the JW's home? Can the JW use the excuse that their nonJW spouse views the elders as bad associations and doesn't want them in the house in order to dodge a sheparding call?

Just curious,
Michelle

Watchtower and Awake!

by Enchanter in

jw
friends

can anyone tell me where i can find the watchtower and awake online every 2 weeks?.

because there would be a lott less income?.

comments?.

myMichelle

Greetings,
To the best of my knowledge, neither the WT or A! are available online. To obtain a subscription you must contact your local Kingdom Hall, or write the Watchtower Society who will then put you in contact with your local KH.

Dunno why they waste so much paper....

Hi Chag..um..er..Somebody,

I'll get used to the new name, thanks for the welcome. I have been lurking around since the beginning of the year, but finally decided to jump on over here as well.

Hi Es!

Good to see you again! Hope you are doing well and those stairs aren't playing any more tricks on you again. Durned stairs..

Yep, I saw a bunch of names that are familiar, so I decided to visit over here (was feeling too bogged down over at H2O, although I still pop in there as well).

My best to you and yours,
Peace and Blessings,

Information on Cards

by myMichelle in

good morning people,.

could someone here tell me more about the cards that are kept at the kh on the publishers there?.

do they keep one for unbaptized people, and at what stage (interested one, publisher, etc.

myMichelle

Good morning people,

Could someone here tell me more about the cards that are kept at the KH on the publishers there?

Do they keep one for unbaptized people, and at what stage (interested one, publisher, etc.)or just baptized JWs?

Is this mysterious card the complete file on a JW attending that KH, or is there a corresponding folder with other mysterious stuff?

I have heard that when a JW changes KH, that the card is sent along to the new KH, what is the usual procedure for that?

I have also heard that if a JW is moving and doesn't know what KH they will be attending, that they can procure their card and deliver it to the KH at their new place of residence. If that card were to simply disappear, would all the information on that particular JW disappear too, or are there duplicates kept on file?

Any information you can supply would be very helpful and much appreciated.

Peace and Blessings,
Michelle
