JW broadcasting and doubts

by Colinconfused in

hi everyone to cut a long story short, ive been away from the meetings for over 10 years.

i recently reconnected with the congregation and started a study.

cant get my head around all the changes and jw broadcasting.

Hadriel I wrote Colin a pm much like your message!

Colin, I would also like to say, that INDIVIDUALLY many witnesses are wonderful people (with really awful ones in the mix). There are many witnesses I have personally known that are just trying their best. Most of us here do not hate them at all, we still love them and wish we could still be friends. It is the organization that we don't like. The people who have studied with you are probably very nice. It is their religion which is all screwed up. It would screw up your kid's lives. Let your kids have more options for them than one little choice they HAVE to make or else.

More Nefarious United Nations Deeds!!

more blasphemous, shameful attacks on the sovereignty of god!:.

every athlete competing in the olympics this week followed a different road to rio.

but after a journey like no other, 18 year-old yusra mardini is making history as she swims for olympic gold.. last year, as yusra and her family fled the violence in syria, the boat they shared with dozens of other desperate passengers started to take on water off the turkish coast.

More blasphemous, shameful attacks on the sovereignty of God!:

Every athlete competing in the Olympics this week followed a different road to Rio. But after a journey like no other, 18 year-old Yusra Mardini is making history as she swims for Olympic Gold.

Last year, as Yusra and her family fled the violence in Syria, the boat they shared with dozens of other desperate passengers started to take on water off the Turkish coast. So the teenager – a top-tier swimmer who represented Syria at the FINA World Championships in 2012 – jumped into the freezing water and started to push.

Thanks to that harrowing swim, Yusra's boat made it safely to Greece. And now, those same skills are carrying her to Rio, where she'll compete with the first-ever Refugee Olympic Team: 10 elite global athletes backed by the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the International Olympic Committee.

Get to know Yusra and the other 9 extraordinary refugees competing at the Olympics:

#TeamRefugees is making Olympic history at a time when more people than ever – over 65 million – have been forced to leave their homes to escape conflict and persecution. For Yusra and her teammates, representing refugees on the world stage is about more than going for gold – it's also about drawing attention to the magnitude of this global crisis and to the resilience and hope of refugees.

Stand with #TeamRefugees by learning about their inspiring stories and spreading them during this month's Olympic Games.

Next month's opening of the UN General Assembly is an opportunity to step up global efforts for refugees. Let's salute the courage of these athletes by helping build support for action now.

Poor Sisters

by Darryl in

i really felt for you sisters i mean i really did.

when you showed up at the sunday meeting and found out the subject of the talk was going to be -and i can't quite remember the exact wording- but something to the effect of marriage and headship, or honoring and obeying your husband, or something like that how many of you wanted to jump right back in your car and head home.

i mean 45 straight minutes of beating down you poor ladies and telling you that you are not worthy of making one decision, taking the lead in anything, don't question the man be obedient and keep quiet.

I really hope the most powerful person in the world will soon be female. And I hope when that happens, more 'sisters' decide they aren't going to take that crap anymore. We have moved from ancient times when muscle mass was important to prove ones strength to be the leader. It is still that way in wolf packs, lion prides, gorilla families. Among humans, when societies use their brains to test leadership instead of braun, is when they advance. Patriarchal societies are the least peaceful. When women are equal (or greater) there is less war and more education. When is the GB going to wake up and realize the leadership of women? It's happening all around them.

JW and the Sabbath

by Andromeda in

hello brothers and sisters and truth seekers,.

i am an active jehovah's witness.

i don't believe in 1914 and i'm tototally against their way of dealing with abuse cases.

FayeDunaway

You have accepted how the witnesses have twisted everything else, why not 1914?

If I was you, I would do further research. Try Jwfacts.com.

And then, since the sabbath is important to you, look into Seventh Day Adventists.

Dutch convention: disassociation in broader perspective

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

today at the utrecht international convention in holland there was no "word in spanish" about dissassociation.. "we avoid any contact with dissassociated witnesses.

not only sinners, but in a broader perspective, also inactive witnesses".. there was a lot of noise in the hall direct after that moment.. so, no fading escape in the near future, i expect.. g..

Sbf I totally agree. Tho I am actually liking Hillary now. Something happened at the DNC for me. Maybe it was the look she gave her daughter. Funny how in one moment I changed my mind about her.

Kepler, I came to a realization during your post. Trump equals Rutherford! (Except with less hypocritical religiosity.)

This generation will by no means pass away

by Darryl in

jw
friends

good morning i hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

there has been a lot of talk about the "new light" concerning the generation teaching.

it's been a major part of the prophecy concerning the last days and of course since jws are the only ones able to decipher and understand prophecy it is of great importance to get this main prophecy right.

FayeDunaway

But Dunedain how do you REALLY feel?

:P

good points!

Finally found a friend I can talk to

by StarTrekAngel in

he is an old friend that used to attend my congo.

he moved away closer to his parents at some point and we lost touch.

for a couple of years i did not hear anything from him.

FayeDunaway

I always wonder what the waiting staff thinks of these lunch conversations. It must be weird hearing parts of ex witness lunch talks. It would be kind of fun being a waitress and sort of a detective, trying to figure out what people are talking about. I bet when they spend a long time at the next table, wiping it down, they are listening to every word :).
