well i finally got the, "we would like to stop by with the circus oversneer and have an encouraging visit.
would ---------day be good, at say -----------?".
it'll probably be a pretty dull visit with the entire conversation being only one way.
We were asked that once (before my awakening), and my response was, "I'm not sure, let me check with my wife and get back to you."
I forgot to get back with the elder. He never said another thing and we didn't get the visit.

I'm definitely going to use that tactic when my time comes.
jwfacts show that publisher growth was 15% pre- 1975 and has decline to about 2%.
what prevents them from fudging the annual growth and keeping it at something more positive like 10%?.
"a great crowd that no man is able to number".
John: I think they will.
Here's why:
When good things happen (i.e. growth), it's the truth.
"Look at how Jehovah is blessing the work!"
When bad things happen (i.e. negative growth), it's the truth.
"It was prophesied, the love of the greater number will cool off."
So, that's why they don't have to fudge the numbers. They have an excuse for both scenarios.
around memorial time this year, i stated to my nephew on facebook that my sister was brainwashed.
stupid me putting that on a public forum!
he was offended because she continues to invite him to the memorial even though he has ptsd from his jw experiences growing up.
Wasn't there something on JW Broadcasting since October about JW's being "brainwashed." And that it was a good thing?
I believe brother Herd said something like that on his broadcast.
after leaving the organisation 10 years ago i fought with everything i had to stay in my marriage and with my three children.
after a tumultuous number of years trying to maintain a happy family life while living in a divided home, it's finally over.
the religion is single handedly responsible for destroying my marriage and my family.
I'm sorry that your marriage has fallen apart.
When I think about the relationships that will be destroyed due to my fade, I try to live by this:
The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly. - Buddha (supposedly)
It's not easy to do, but there will be moments of clarity if you attempt it.
