i was just told there will be international conventions in canada in 2019. .
so i looked at jw.org and i see that there's a whole bunch of conventions now listed on the site for 2019.. isn't this odd?
normally we were told the location of conventions during the first week of january.. did they realize there was less in attendance in the 2018 conventions, and want to give ppl more time to make travel arrangements??
Eww I sure hope they don’t do all the BS they did a few years ago with the parties and talent shows. I had to coordinate ours for the deligates. It was nothing short of a disaster. The only thing entertaining about it was how poorly everything came together.
Holy Spirit was working it’s magic that day.
from the 11/2018 wt study edition:.
lap dancing is a form of lewd conduct that is becoming more common in the world”.
perhaps this observation goes hand in hand with the previous article pp.17 that “….
So glad my kid doesn’t have to sit through this dribble.
I can’t imaging any parent thinking this is ok for a child to listen to. Does the GB even realize who their audience is?
i am an active witness that has visited this site a few times over the years.
i am interested in talking with current or recently transitioned away witnesses.
feel free to email me on here or i talk with witnesses on google hangouts or skype too.
The wife and I have been away just a few years now. You are more than welcome to PM any questions you might have.
my wife's kingdumb haul announced that next saturday is a special day of service.
we can pioneer for a day in seldom worked territory.
everone is to pack a nice brown bag lunch.
These days of “special activity” seemed great and all until the moment came when you realized that it was no different than any other day in serve-us.
Come to think of it, the Borg seems to lack the understanding of what “special” means. 🤔
An old creepy C.O. told our congregation that joke a few years ago. Although it was funny at the time, it’s definitely up there on the creep meter now.
another fantastic increase i mean stagnation for the jborg chariot .... cardiff, wales, uk convention july 27-29th 2018. attendances 3500/3600 (friday) - 4150 (sunday) approx.. baptisms - wait for it ... drumroll ... 10..
Wow a whole 10!! What ages were the people who were baptized?
again from the shepard the flock book, this is about dealing with child abuse, it gives the elders points to think about and discuss when deciding on child abuse cases.... "(5) what is the.

the following questions should be answered with re-.
It was said of a daughter of a family that moved into my hall that she claimed she was molested by an elder. We were told to watch out for her because “she liked to lie a lot and tell stories for sympathy.”
I could just tell by her attitude and way she carried herself that something was seriously wrong, but because her family was “spiritually weak” they were never taken seriously.
So yea this kind of thing probably happens more than any of us know. Just because a person is judged as “spiritually weak” doesn’t mean they can’t be trusted.
i have not had a jw at my door [don't get me wrong this is great] for a few years.
is cart preaching the why its all done today?
We still have a guy come over every couple of weeks to invite us to the meetings. I haven’t the heart to tell him to stuff it!! He’s too nice to be mean to. I remember how getting a bad door kind of put a damper on the whole day and I don’t want them to think I’m some bitter defecter.
bible contains too much human thinking presented as though from god, thus much of its information brings dishonor to god.. yet it contains great beneficial truths behind the symbols it uses.
let us take the only two cases of miracles jesus performed without any request from anybody which would show the very purpose of his ministry:.
1) jesus healed a woman who “was bent over and could not straighten up at all.” (luke 13:11-13).
I can’t get past the part where it says green vegetation came one creative day before the sun.
after i awoken from the cult, i went through the normal process of not knowing who i was and what my tastes where.
looking back this was a wonderful time in my life because i experimented and tried different things and now i like or dislike things because i personally like/dislike them - not because i've been told they're good or bad.. black pudding is an example - it's made of blood and is a popular addition here in britain to fried breakfasts.
i tried it for the first time last year and i can confirm that it is indeed revolting.
I started listening to death metal a bit before leaving the cult. I was deeply depressed and that type of music “talked to me” at that particular time. Afterward I started listening to some of the softer rock and jazz that I used to like but I still go back to death metal now because I really enjoy it.
