  DIM goes out in service

  2. friends

  well, i'm moving away across the country in 2 months and my mother wants to spend some time with me.

  being a pioneer, her idea of spending time with her oldest son is working out in service for a morning....i've decided to go along with her tomorrow morning because i really couldn't think of a good excuse, since i'm presently laid off from my job and collecting $$ from the state of pa. i haven't been out since about march and am not looking forward to this at all.

  hopefully i won't have to talk or say much.

  Suppose JWism Was Willing?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's incredible how a thought can be so simple - yet overlooked.

  all the same.. suppose that meetings and field service and everything else.

  connected with being a witness was done willingly?

  i was in a bookstore trying to forget the day when my father called me and told me that my grandfather had died.

  he had passed only five minutes after we had left.. someone else was wondering what happens when we die.

  well, i was reading the chronicles on narnia (something i do when i'm feeling a little lost), and something at the end of the last battle caught me eye.. "the term is over: the holidays have begun.

  by rekless in

  quoted from the las vegas sun and review journal ,.

  " many jehovah witnesses refuse blood transfusions because blood is viewed as scared and the bible mandates no transfusions, said al zaragoza, chairman of the hospital liaison committee for jehovah witness.

  "cell-saver is an extention of one's circulatory system," zaragoza said.

  i once saw princess diana.

  it was in a nunawading street when her and charlie came here in 83 after the bushfires.

  i was stood in the middle of a roundabout, away from the crowds, and she looked into my eyes, smiled and waved.

  FELLOWSHIP

  by ricoananas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been reading lots of messages in just a few days of logging on to this site and have to say that in the beginning it was bothering me to still be doing the jw thing.

  i dropped out after 25 years, the last 14 as an elder.

  now, however, i'm beginning to realize that the posts have been giving me a feeling of fellowship with many people who have gone/are going through experiences similar to mine, a kind of fellowship that i rarely if ever felt being among other jw's.

  It's just dawned on me...

  by Billygoat in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ...that jw's have a hard time forgiving others because they themselves are rarely forgiven for their own sins.

  according to their beliefs jehovah keeps track of every detail of your life...good and bad.

  that even if you are humble and repent of your sins, that there is still no true forgiveness until the new system.
