could someone help me find info that shows jw's are not to be on the internet or facebook.
hubby says they have never been told not to use the internet by org.. thanks, wandasoo.
Im not sure it’s in writing but what problemaddict wrote is true. Years ago, maybe a year or so after facebook came out, my wife and I had a “shepherding” call and were strongly counseled about being on facebook. My MIL lost her pioneering status because she refused to delete her account. I lost my “privileges” until I deleted my account.
In the years that followed, they loosened up a little. Each congregation has their own stupid little things to pick on.
five events to come and to watch for:.
1 world leaders say peace and security!
- they "say" this but may not fully "achieve" this.
Waiting4TheKingdom - Wow. Your nuts! You’ll fit in quite well here. Welcome!
1 st lesson. Start thinking for yourself.
i know this isn't facebook, but how do you change your pic?
it obviously can be done because i've see other peoples photos but i can't seem to work out how...... .
can anyone elighten me?.
twice shy - You need the email address you used to sign up here.
i need a good fat-burner.
i am getting some serious love handles, and a gross poochy belly.
yeah, yeah...i drink almost every night, and this has been going on for almost 2 years, blah, blah..hic!?
so, i'm quite excited but also slightly freaked out as i'm able to go this summer instead of next like i had counted on (my daughter graduates next year and i was planning to go then).
this means i'm doing this last minute and i wanted to see if any of you have used https://www.go-today.com or gateone travel or go ahead travel?.
i'm planning on london, paris and rome for two weeks, likely july at this point.
Awesome! Hope you have a great time. Wife and I hope to make it there one day.
was there a decline in the number of jws in your congregation?
if so, by how many has it gone down and what is the time frame?
(i don't go and haven't gone i a long time.
I left a cong that was lucky on a Sunday to have 50-60 people show up. It used to be closer to 80-90 a few years before. Our shit bag elders pushed many to a neighboring cong that would regularly have 110-120 for Sunday meeting – a lot from my hall. This was almost 3 years ago since I left.
Marking bec I too am curious if the changes over the last year are drastically affecting things.
we get so engrossed in discussions during the family worship evening that it often goes on till late at night if i dont stop my family, .
hahahahahahahahahahah hehehe hahahah!!!!!!.

Welcome to the dark side.
Its funny how things look when you step out of the box. venting.
Yep. It's an emotional rollercoaster to say the least.... at least for the first few months.
.. the new wbt$ donation arrangement/ jw kingdom hall bank account theft... is a very hot topic right now... the wbt$ is literally going to clean out kingdom hall bank accounts,filled with donations from jws... that theft is going to happen world wide..the wbt$ is going to steal from 7 million plus jw`s... .. we have jw elders here on jwn,that know whats going on... they "serve" in kingdom halls,they are "supposed" to be looking after the welfare of the average jw... they know there is a 4 page letter,only one page will be read to the congregation..the rest will be kept secret... they know the wbt$ is about to steal jw donations..on a world wide scale!!!...
.. i would like to know what you active jw elders are going to do about this??!!...
are you going to let "your" congregation know about the other 3 secret pages?...
Owtlaw- I agree 100% with what you’ve posted.
Marking to see how this plays out. Do the active elders who lurk and or post here have the guts to stand up for what is right?
