this is guest 77. i'm once again having problems 'replying' to posts.
i can't login in.
to avoid waiting for months for technical help as i have in the past, i've decided to try another approach and it worked.

a friend of ours was told that he/she would be taken off as the beneficiary of a large amount of money unless he/she would come back to the meetings and go out in the field service.. our friend has been fading for quite some time now.the person who put him/her as beneficiary won't have anything to do with him/her unless he/she comes back to the meetings and participates in the field service.. he/she will not be bribed and will lose the large amount of money he/she stands to gain because of refusing to be compromised as to what is known about the society now.. his/her friend only knows that he/she has family and personal concerns as the reason he/she don't go to meetings anymore.letting the friend know the real reasons would certainly be cause for him/her to be removed as the beneficiary of a large amount of money.. our advice to him/her was to be true to ones self even though this would be financially difficult.. the reason we are putting the person as him/her is to protect the identity of the individual friend of ours.. we would appreciate some of your thoughts concerning this matter.. blueblades
GO BACK, AND WHEN YOU GET THE MONEY, GIVE HALF OF IT TO SILENT LAMBS! GOD WILL UNDERSTAND!
jehovah's witnesses certainly have some unique beliefs and some are very, very confusing.
anything that you never quite understood?
How can they call themselves THE FAITHFUL AND DISCREET SLAVE when they are neither faithful or discreet?
Why don't they have kitchens in the Kingdom Halls for a little socializing before and after the meetings?
Why did the new Circuit Overseer always arrive in an old junker, we bought him a new car, and then in his next assignment arrived in an old junker again?
Why hasn't the Society availed themselves of TV? They used to brag they had a radio station!
Why did they keep little school kids out to 10:30 PM or so on some meeting nights?
Why could you leave literature with a householder but couldn't take anything from them?
Why no special meetings like Sunday School for kids?
are there certain things that you just know will get some people riled, rattled or unnerved?
on this board, i think if i wanted to tease, let's say, simon, i could suggest that he thinks he's an elder and that's why he's such a control-freak.
MINIMUS, YOUR MOTHER WEARS COMBAT BOOTS!
i have told my story before, but since there are a lot of new people, i thought i would tell it again.

) i was born a jw, or close to it.
Hey, wait a minute! Is this a true story?

what is christmas to you?
if you were raised a jw, as my children were, getting used to christmas takes time, and does not carry with it any memories.
for others who became jws later in life, it took time to get over christmas and learn to discredit the custom and lose feelings for it, and in some cases even learn to hate christmas as an evil pagan evoluton of apostate christianity.. .
HI JIM,
WHAT YA GETTIN ME FOR CHRISTMAS? A MINI-COOPER I HOPE!
OUTASERVICE
the refreshing highlight in their opinion that "[jehovah's witnesses] are free from the snare of the pagan traditions of today's holidays".
the talk was of course about christmas.
i find it amusing how many times they mention pagans or paganism at the meetings, considering neither word is found in the nwt.
EVERYTHING PRE-CHRISTIAN IS PAGAN!
