So... Are they done printing the number of partakers?

by thedepressedsoul in

during the wt study yesterday i had a confused look on my face the whole meeting.

more of a, wtf, face.

one paragraph says, "therefore,the number of partakers does not accurately indicate the number of anointed ones left on earth.".

Khaleesi

I was more disturb that the WT mentioned that some who partake "may have mental or emotional problems " ... Insane.... so if you Read & follow Jesus command on John 6: 51..."if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever, ..." & partake of the emblems & wine we are the ones with "mental & emotional problems?"

The whole article was awkward, paragraph 5 & 6 the WT is placing a gag order on partakers... don't talk about it, if your going to do it don't mention it to others & if the other see someone partaking don't ask them about it!!!! Wow, just Wow..... yeah I see them putting an asterisk by the yr book partakers #s that this # may not reflect accurately "true anointed christians" NEW LIGHT! ;)

Hi Christian & Katja,

Let me say that it was your first 3 videos I watched on YouTube that woke me up to begin to question ... I Ran Into them somehow when I was looking for the royal commission in Australia , during lunch I watch all ur videos & when I heard about the UN in ur video I was frantic at work doing research online when i returned from lunch, that was the begining of my process & so I also woke up in 3-4 months time, so I thank you for your videos they opened my eyes...

Also heard your brother woke up? (Mike & kim mentioned it in nail of a coffin) I'm interested to know if you will be doing a video on how he woke up, looking forward to it....

Sweet 16 - Happy Birthday to Us !

by Simon in

it's the forum's 16th birthday today!.

amazing that not only have we lasted so long but we're still thriving and growing.. thanks to all the people and often colorful characters who've contributed to the site over the years.

some are still here with us, some have since moved on, but all have touched each others lives in some way along our different journeys.. .

I do have to thank this website because THIS WAS THE 1st Site where one night after a terrible situation with elders & a "sister" in the org, i had the courage to look for a JW forum to see if I was the only one experiencing malicious attacks & injustice...that night i would never forget, i discovered a poster posting about JWS trending on yahoo... quick search i saw the RC of Australia, that was the begining of my freedom. ... this site was the one i discovered the term TTATT. ... thank goodness for it

death at the 'memorial'

by eyeuse2badub in

i just got the news from our former congregation in hollister, ca regarding a tragic event following the 'memorial' wednesday night.

we shared the kh with 2 spanish congos.. a couple from the spanish congregation were leaving the kh so that the next spanish congo could have their 'memorial'.

they exited the parking lot in their car when hit by an oncoming car right in front of the kh.

I have a good friend that lives in Hollister Ca.... very tiny town, been there once years ago... regardless the occasion, someone last their live :(

interesting to see if there's a noticeable trend in memorial attendance.

also did they talk more then usual about ones not to partake?

Khaleesi

They clapped after the talk.... not sure about attendence I went to a different one because it was earlier than mine, but I did notice vacant chairs & i walked in during the song, no problem finding a seat

2016 Memorial Done & Dusted

by steve2 in

well on this side of the planet, the southern hemisphere/ new zealand, the 2016 memorial service in local kingdom halls will be over for another year.

another great big anticlimax.

some family and relatives will have gone - but unless i ask my sister, i generally have no idea about attendance and partaker numbers.

Khaleesi

I attended in California UsA, didn't see any partakers. One thing I did notice though about the attendance, i go to the spanish congregation, I came in right at the song & they had plenty of chairs where I sat 3 rows from the front at the KH.... attendance is not what it used to be in the spanish....they did not read the scripture of partaking unworthingly of the bread & wine!, I thought it was odd...

They did say faith needs works, going to meetings, being with God's people, aka Jws, will earn ur way to posible salvation... Also during the 1st prayer they said "Jehovah God" 11 times!!

how are you feeling?.

we weren't going... but a confrontation with family blew things up.

we decided we are going- because we are planning on moving and this is the last jw thing.

Khaleesi

I've been debating too if I should go, i am not attending my own congregations memorial, too far & too late, my son has school the next day.... but I do want to partake since it's a different congregation they don't know me they would just think I'm wordly, heck I'll let my son partake too

Memorial mixed emotions...

by Tornintwo in

does anyone else feel 'pulled back in' at this time of year?.

i still consider myself to a believer, believe in god and jesus christ, on the whole i think he taught tolerance, love, acceptance and i think we can benefit from following his example.

i love ray franzs book in search of christian freedom.

Khaleesi

I'm debating to go to, i don't feel comfortable being part of a "black mass" & rejecting Jesus by not partaking!

Question for those still attending the Kingdom Hall

by ToesUp in

jw
friends

this a question more out of curiosity, because we have not stepped foot in a kh in 3 years.. how is the attendance at the meetings/assemblies?

i know the answer will vary due to location.. are you (especially elders) receiving any notification or communication from bethel or co's that there is an upsurge of people that are simply disappearing or out right dis associating?.

thanks, in advance, for your feedback!

Khaleesi

This past summer convention we usually had attendance of 13k+, last year it was 8k, not sure if it was due to people sent elsewhere but it was very noticeable, only a limited english Regional conventions at this location I believe only 4-5 weekends, past would be 8-10 weekends

Great post, I woke up this morning feeling the same thing, my son saying good morning all happy..., when we left with my family around 11am & saw the jws on my block, I smiled to myself feeling soo happy that neither I or my son have to do that ever again & not feeling guilty abt it!!
