  Scotsman welcome to the board. I suggest to you to go to the elders in your congregation and let them know that you come here and post and reply to people...essentially speaking to "apostates". I am curious to know how these spirit appointed men handle your situation with love and concern just as Jesus would have. Let us know.

  anyone remember back 15 years or so ago when some brothers used to think mars bars were made with lecithin derived from blood .. we had a sister call the company and interrogate them.

  funny.. .

  If they are so concerned about "..abstaining from blood" then why are compoments derived from the so-called primary components are up to the individual's conscience if they want to use them or not? Is it really abstaining if you use a derivative of the product?

  Special Assembly 2-Day 2,000 delegates and TWO baptisms!

  by MinisterAmos in

  2. friends

  just got back from the special one day assembly and had to share this important info.

  only two baptisms today; two girls about 15-16 out of 2,000 attendees.. i stumbled more than two with my anti-witnessing.

  i posted un expose material in the bathrooms along with pre and post nov 1995 1914 generation belief.. incidentally, attendance was down almost 25% over last year as well.

  I attended mine yesterday and we had just over 2000 attending with 17 baptized. It always fluctuates based on the age and amount of children of baptized JW's who take the plunge. I think its more accurate not to fixate on the "only 2 baptized" but the fact that very VERY few are coming in from the field anymore.

  Annual Meeting Quote

  by XBEHERE in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend of mine said an elder in his congregation who attended gave a part on the service meeting lastnight about the upcoming campaign and one of the things he said was during one of the gb talks at the annual meeting i think he said it was morris stated that "the governing body is certain that jehovah's day is getting near" anyone go to that meeting or also heard this?

  can they verify?

  his reasoning for his part was no wonder the year text is zepheniah 1:14 and we are presenting this tract "false religion's end is at hand" .

  Meetings are BORING!

  by 5thGeneration in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why do the brothers take such offense when someone says that the meetings are boring?.

  i can't possibly fathom how people who have been going to the meetings for decades can sit at the kh and listen, for example, to yesterday's wt study for an hour about adam and eve, cain and abel, how we are all allowed to pray, blah, blah, blah... and not be bored out of their minds!.

  I completely agree, they are totally boring. Imagine having to give talks and service meeting parts about this same crap over and over, year after year... that may be worse than listening to it.

  Its really just your typical WT propaganda after the brief business meeting. Epxeriences from different parts of the world on how good the preaching work is doing. The GB and some other "heavy's" give talks. Thats about it.

  How Come So Many Bethelites Leave The Organization

  by ilovemusik in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hello i'm new here but i've been reading the things on this db for quite some time.

  i am still an active witness, but i've been having doubts for quite sometime and have been looking into the background of the organization, very shocked at what i'm finding.

  since i lived next to headquarters and had a lot of bethelites in my congregation, i was shock to learn (not only on this db) that so many bethelites who leave bethel also end up leaving the organization.

  Its a comfortable place...why put things in jeopoardy???

  I agree and I think that many Bethelites see the "religion" for what it really is while there but why "bite the hand that feeds you" so to speak. Once you leave all bets are off. I was there for 3 yrs and I liked it, lots of good friends, nice area of Brooklyn... the drinking, hanging out Friday and Saturday nights watching TV and movies. Whats not to love if you are a young single guy. While there I saw and heard a lot of things coming out of bethel elders mouths that would have sent the average Joe JW reeling. But I also brushed it off as imperfection.
