  Maybe they're trying to prove 607 is still valid, but from a different angle. Something to do with exile instead of destruction?

  and THANK YOU WIFI!!

  This past week:like the last days of the Iron Curtain

  for those old enough to remember, the last days of soviet rule in eastern europe were astonishing.

  you had this unchanging entity that controlled all aspects of people lives for decades.

  then came the unraveling.

  i just wanted to say that my dear 89 year old mom is terminally ill and will soon pass.

  she is on morphine and hanging on.

  she has been a devout witness for about 60 years and a wonderful mother.

  What an awful turn. This has definitely been a roller coaster for you. You have been so blessed to have such a loving mom. It's a hard decision to discontinue treatment. At least she won't be in pain.

  i am still serving as an elder but just hanging in there.

  i think their quandry is that they don't see me out in the field, but when they need encouragement and decent prayer they come to me.. i just got off the phone to this poor sister who i have only met twice.

  she is not even in my congregation (her sister is).

  The new changes is a clear indication that we are one step closer to the end...

  that was today's topic over a group chat of my cong's young jbots.

  apparently the rumors are circulating everywhere i go, even people from the spanish congs are talking about it.

  what's really sad is that the majority of people are already seeing this as "clear" signs of the end coming.

  I just wonder what a new release of the video 'JW's-the org behind the name' would look like in 5 years.

  I'm thinking it would look kind of deserted.

  The Borg has given up!!!!

  by Crazyguy in

  it's become obvious in the last few days that the borg is done, done giving one dime over to the membership of the organization.

  they know or have been told that it's a waste of time to spend money trying to recruit new members so their cutting all out lays of money in this regard to the bone.

  they will continue to spend money where they can make a prophet, keeping the ones in, not thinking and donating.

  Lol I just realized phonetically profit=prophet.

  and I agree, it seems they are not in growth mode but survival mode.

  Question - thoughts on explaining your fading to teachers?

  by elderINewton in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  weird/odd question, but with our family fading, and our daughter in school how or should one approach teachers with this?

  our child is a little too young to understand why we are fading, but it proves challenging in school as they have been, well brainwashed, to say i shouldn't do that etc... .

  i don't like explaining anything to teachers about the fade, etc.

  Template to dump Special Pioneers

  by avaddohn94 in

  "downsizing" has reached special pioneers.. this is the template mexico is using to get rid of many of its special pioneers.

  see how cold and unloving is the language they use.

  a translation attempt is as follows:.

  What strikes me is that NO explanation is given whatsoever. Here these people have built their lives around this, and then the rug is completely pulled out from under them and they won't even know why.

  I remember having this conversation with a teacher during conferences. I explained that we are Jehovahs witnesses but working on leaving. Teachers usually have had witness students in their classes before, and are quite familiar with the rules and usually have felt sorry for these kids. Explain to the teacher that you are gently trying to erase the brainwashing, so if they get mixed messages as to what the kids will do and won't do, just let the kid do what they feel comfortable with right now, but this is why there may not be consistency. Also explain to the teacher that if word of this gets out, you would be in danger of losing your family, since you are not 'allowed' to leave the religion and start living normally. Tell them the witness world is a very small world, and to be careful about keeping this in confidence. Teachers are used to keeping secrets, they do it all the time, about their student's lives. It shouldn't be a problem.
