"there are only three reasons you should miss a meeting.
fever, fracture or funeral.
everything else is a sorry excuse.
Lol omg, biggest hypochondriacs in the world!!!! And whatever disease was recently covered in an Awake article, they had it!!!
i went to all the meetings, always, even if I had just had a baby, unless I was really sick, which didn't include having a cold. i never liked the meetings. But for some reason I never let myself skip them! Probably because of my huge guilt complex. But I haven't been to one in years, and I miss NOtHING about them.

film witnesses of jehovah .
note 37:35 .
This makes me so angry.
angry my family is still in this ridiculous scam. angry this ridiculous scam kept me from living the life I was born to live.
I wish c.t. Russell had never been born.
i do believe it is written somewhere in jw literature .
we all know the wts abandons and invents beliefs faster than apple can churn out new shiny stuff.
but have they ever abandoned a belief and later picked it up again?.
i remember many years ago we had one of those post-district-assembly review parts (part of the service meeting) where they were discussing some "new light".. there was some confusion about which was the "new" and which was the "old" and a semi-discussion ensued with people commenting.
i do believe it is written somewhere in jw literature .

"every parent among jehovahs witnesses worried about how local watchtower appointed elders will respond to letting their child have blood transfusion without opposing it should download this letter of understanding and be ready to hand a copy to them.
then ask those elders to leave them (the parents) and doctors alone to concentrate on the childs best interests.".
Hrm, Marvin maybe they were concerned you were somehow going to contest the document and make it more difficult for them to protect children by causing legal issues. Did they know you were not a witness?
That document is intriguing. I wish it was in place in every hospital worldwide.

I've accidentally pushed wrong and disliked someone's post before, meant to 'like' it, but the mistake can't be undone. It wasn't me this time but someone may have done the same thing.
im quite jealous of porn, myself. Actually I wouldn't mind looking at it WITH my mate, I think it would be fun. Efforts to do this with him have been rebuked. but I felt very bad when I discovered he had without me...especially when I discovered he had searched out a certain race of woman and it was a repeated thing. It's actually given me serious issues :(. I know it's vain and stupid but I can't help it.
anybody remember how this became a doctrine , years ago , we were at the meetings so that out fingers would be learning something .
..
We had the hanging on to a cliff with one hand illustration. You wouldn't want to let go with any of your five fingers, you need them all to survive...
and then there was the ping pong balls in a glass, and then you pour beans all around to show if you put the big 'important' things in life first, (all five meetings) all the other little cares of life (like...family....and work...!) will fit nicely.
wife and i have not reported a single hour of fs in 3-4 months.
while my wife is mostly doing for me (positive thing), i know she would have rather done it.
elder asked me to turn in my fs report this past week and then he added... "we need to talk".
I agree with Millie!!
it is so easy to be sarcastic and snarky, but what you need to do is show humility WITHOUT giving them any information that could hurt yourself.
