AWAKE Says We Shouldn't Judge Apostates!
by minimus inthe february 8, 2003 awake has an article entitled:"is there an unforgivable sin".notice the good news for apostates or those who once associated.
"some people who were once faithful christians have purposely drawn away from god, perhaps because of bitterness, pride, or greed, and are now apostate fighters against god's spirit.
they willfully oppose what the spirit is clearly accomplishing.

I have to agree wih Elsewhere on this.I think i'ts a way to get some back,or to keep some who may be thinking of leaving.
Say an active witness starts exploring things on the internet,and happens upon "apostate" sites.Maybe they start to have doubts about the org.Then they start to feel guilty about it.They are afraid to go to the elders with their new findings,because what if they are wrong?If they ask questions,maybe the elders will think they are apostate already.Thus,maybe they are commiting a secret sin,because of their doubts.But now this info comes out!If they go to the elders with this info now,and allow themselves to be readjusted,then all is well.Maintain a repentant attitude,and all is forgiven.
Some people like to be controlled.
That's just my two cents.

The break between meetings
by freedom96 inwhen i was a young child, i remember there being a small break between the meetings.
you could get up, walk around, associate, and then go back in for the second half.
at some point, they changed it to where there was just the song.

Wow,I wish I remembered such breaks!
My mom became a witness in 74,and out of the few congregations we attended,none ever had breaks.A lot of people did get up during the song however,until that was discouraged too.
A break would have been great,considering I always had to go to the bathroom.I would have to hold it for so long,until my mom would finally take me(and then she would listen at the stall to make sure I REALLY had to go,and wasn't just trying to miss a bit of the meeting).
Lol at the stories of brothers going outside to have a cigarette.Funy how Jehovah didn't realise that was bad for your health until 70 or so.How did the Health Dept beat him with that info?Food for thought.

Lost My Job
by Yizuman innew manager named rod came in at wal-mart this week monday.
today he got a call from marsh's office building asking for business references and apparently that pissed him off.
i had dropped off a resume at the marsh office building around 1 1/2 weeks ago or so... he called me into his office via one of the customer service manager (csm) who asked me to follow her.

I am so sorry.That was a terrible way to be treated.
I work at a supermarket,and as much as I hate paying Uion dues,atleast such a situation can't happen.They would have to write you up three times in one year,and you have the right to refuse to meet with management until you have a representative with you.Not that I am for or against unions.It was extremely unprofessional for them to treat you that way.I hope you are able to find a job soon.
I will be thinking about you.
Take care

Long prayers at the hall
by JH inin every congregation there is always a brother who gives a marathon prayer.
in my congregation there was a brother whose prayers were so long that i decided to time his prayer with my watch.
it lasted about 3-4 minutes.

I was like Fredom96....I never payed attention to what was said.After 20 seconds or so my mind would wander...I would start to daydream.
Not to change the subject....but did anyone here hate to say a prayer?Being a woman,this didn't come up too often,but when it did(like during a biblestudy with only sisters present),I would do everything possible to get out of saying the prayer.I had no idea what to say(thank you jehovah for this day of life...um....thank you for giving us the oppurtunity to study your word......um....umm....ummmmmm....please forgive us for our many mistakes......ummmmmmmmmmmmmm....thank you for sending your son to sacrifice his life for us..........ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...thru jesus name,amen),and my face would be red from embarrassment.
Just curious if I was the only one who felt this way.

Oh no!Who will study with me?!
by bittersweet ini'm a little frightened after reading one of the study articles in the feb.1st watchtower.. what well meaning individuals will be fighting to study with me when they read the second study article?who will help such a weak one as me build up faith and appreciation?oh yeah,and can they count their time?after all,i am baptised.. maybe i will start knocking on jw's doors and say,"hi,i realise that you are an active member of the jw organisation,but i am here to welcome you into the inactive flock.i am willing to study with you,so you can appreciate how you have been mislead for so many years.
" do you think there will be any takers?.
seriously though,i will have to start screening my calls and not answering my door(better yet,i will just let my dogs out).after 4 years of people not caring,now that they are told to,they will come in droves!

I'm sure someone will be knocking down your door now to study with a weak one such as yourself.
Oh yeah,and the answer to all your questions will be........just wait on Jehovah...in time he will reveal the answers to all your questions....in the meantime,study,study,study!
