The Last BOE!

by Atlantis in

this is the last boe we will be able to provide.

our informant or source, was caught, disfellowshipped, and thrown out of bethel.

we knew that sooner or later the watchtower would find him out.

Thanks Atlantis to you and your contact for providing us "food at the proper time"....really sorry to hear what happened to your contact, hopefully he'll be ok...let's hope someone else can pick up the slack.

Peace

JW.Org

by Kool Jo in

i've been pondering......with this new "push" to direct individuals to thw jw.org website, even when the dubs are out preaching...what do you think the future will be for the preaching work?.

some time ago i read that the mormons have implemented a live chat feature that allows you to speak with their missionaries....i doubt the borg would do this, but i think they have something up their sleeves.. peace.

I'm getting a couple emails from the "friends" in the congregation I use to be with a few years ago in SFL, asking me advice on which tablets to buy ect...so that they can use the NWT apps, ASL videos ect, while some of the younger folks will aprreciate going to the Khall with just a tablet, rather than a ton of books, I can see where undue/subtle pressure will move some to purchase tablets even when they're not able to afford it.

i bumped into this website....really interesting:.

you however need a pw to access....if this was more popular, i could see khall attendance dropping, as we know, most people simple go just to appease others: .

Qualifications for Elders & MS

by snakeface in

we all know that elders and ministerials are appointed by holy spirit.

i was in the organization for about 25 years and was in 4 different congregations over the years.. in one congregration there was a sister in her mid-50's with an unbelieving husband.

he did not attend meetings.

Kool Jo

In the various congregations that I've attended, I realize that some MS/Elders are appointed out of desperation. In my parents' KHall, two elders were appointed who did under 10 hours per month and couldn't even read a bedtime story to a child...they were poor speakers...but the congregation has an aging elder body, my dad is the second youngest (early 50's). One is confined to a wheelchair, the other has poor health and has issues with breathing, so he can't do much D2D or speak for long hours.

The MS they appointed at that time missed meetings because of school...many brothers had no desire to be appointed and turned down the offer...if you go to a congregation that has many persons to choose from, then you have to do extra to be recognized.

hello!

by gamergirl in

friends

glad to be a new member and find others with similarities of background.

some background info on me: my dad became jw when i was young, so i spent maybe a third of my life in the religion.

although i respect everyone's beliefs, i personally knew many genuinely selfless people in my congregation, but the way i was raised, now that i am an adult i am realizing was very sheltered and unrealistic.

Christmas trip to Jamaica: A story, Humanitarian Aid, Deja Vu and final release from Watchtower Chains(with pictures LOL)

by confusedandalone in

****for those only interested in the jw part just skip own to part 2.***************.

so i just got back last night from a 16 day trip to jamaica.

our purpose in going was:.

Kool Jo

Manchester is really nice...it seems that retirees tend to gravitate towards that side of the island.

While there, I ran into some Mormons (Latter Day Saints)...but it doesn't seem the locals are interested, I guess most folks there are either non-religous or simply go with what their family/parents are in.

For anyone interested in visiting there, especially Negril, Couples and Sandals/Beaches is worth reading about and visiting.
