A few months ago I asked my parents about the letter writing campaign to Russia. I said it's the samething as writing your local congressman, they tried to say it's not the samething. So finally I said why didn't they just wait in Jehovah? I told them I'm no longer listening to watch you say, I'm watching what you do. They didn't have answer for me. -

Going through this right now. I have some contact with my parents been DF well over 10 yrs anyways I heard from a relative my parents were saying the same thing about me, I was crushed that they feel that way. My parents are getting up there in age and I'm worry about the night/day if I ever get that phone call if they die and me being DF. Really curious to see the responses this thread brings in because I need some tips.

Today's Text - Justifying The Increase Of Annointed Ones!
by Divergent inthursday, august 31. jehovah knows those who belong to him.—2 tim.
2:19.. in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christ’s death.
that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

Interesting! Doesn't this mean the same time thing can be said about Mark Sanderson? He looks really young! How do we not know he's not emotionally distressed or he could be suffering some kind of mental illness?

Pale Emperor Seems To Have Developed A Fetish
by pale.emperor indont worry, this is safe for work... :).
remember when we were jws and we were told not to "model ourselves after the world"?
meaning no tattoos, no non-approved hairstyles, clothing to be not too tight, not too short etc etc etc?

I was just thinking about all the pettiness we were told not to do.
1. Saying bless you after you sneeze - what's the harm?
2. Can't say Lucky (I've been corrected on many coassions to say fortunate)
3. I was scolded for buying girls scout cookies.
4. I think I read something about the dangers of Yoga!
5. I even saw something about toasting.
Feel free to addon.

Really struggling to go on
by Isambard Crater inso, so much has happened in my life over the years and continues to happen, but i won't go into the details as it would take a long time.. i don't really know why, but i returned to "the truth" 15 years ago.
in 2012 when the tv broadcasting station launched, i started to develop doubts.
the australian royal commission and other scandals made me angrier, and i now don't believe most of the core teachings.. the only reason i show up at 5 or 6 meetings each month is to keep in contact with my parents and a few other family members.. but it's killing me, literally.

I understand your struggle! I've been I torment for years! The reason why I don't go back is because JW's lack humility! When you sit back and judge other religions the impression is given that JW's doesn't have any issues and it makes me sick to the core. Just know you're nothing t the only one. Stay strong man.

Paranoid why the coordinator's wife is soft shunning me
by Isambard Crater infor the past six months the coordinator's wife has definitely been avoiding me, turning her back or walking away when i walk in her direction, giving me a stare at other times.
if i try to make casual conversation with her, she literally walks away or just looks through me until someone else comes to talk to her.. i can only think of one reason, which is that she may have seen me give a car ride to a disfellowshipped person months ago.
i mean, it would be totally random if she happened to spot me on this one short journey, but it's possible.

Sorry to hear that. Remember the 2 witnesses rule and she doesn't know even know the circumstances behind the ride, your car could have broken down and the person could be assisting you in your time of need.

Russian Ban upheld - JWs lose appeal
by OrphanCrow inthe supreme court of russia has rejected the jehovah's witnesses' appeal.. https://jw-russia.org/news/17071719-195.html.
july 17, 2017 the supreme court of russia has missed the last chance to restore law and justice for the 175,000 russian citizens professing the religion of jehovah's witnesses.
it took less than an hour of the meeting a panel of three supreme court judges, to leave unchanged the decision taken earlier by the judge yuri ivanenko, the liquidation and ban any and all registered organizations of the religion.since there is no more effective domestic remedies, the believers will appeal to the european court of human rights and other international organizations.. *note: as reported by the jworg source, jw-russia.org.
