Really!

I was logged in to jw.org 1 hour before leaving to go the meeting on the night of my "no longer serving as an elder" announcement finishing up a few last minute things.

>I hit the SUBMIT button to upload the cong field service time.

>Entered 3 BOE recommendations for the next CO visit to consider

>Deleted my standing order for foreign language mags

>Deleted (er, updated) my Administrator functions to 0

>Deleted my personal login

>Threw my blood card in the fireplace

Then a week later got a lecture from the CO Re: 2 Samuel 6:7 and "Uzzah" reaching for the Ark of the Covenant when it wasn't his place to do so. In reference to it not being my place to delete my Administrator privileges.

The night my stepping down was announced, I deleted myself as an Admin on jw.org and got 'in trouble'.

2 Samuel 6:7 was shared with me for being presumptuous.

Rhetorical Question From a Non-JW

by Brian J in

so i was asked if "jehovah's witnesses feel they are the only ones who will be saved.".

he said "i thought you would say that" and showed me our own website:.

jdash - right?!

On the way home from the meeting today my 14 year old said...."the murderer hanging on the stake...Jesus said would be in His kingdom. Was he baptized?"

Also from today's Watchtower there were THREE specific places where baptism age was mentioned:

1) "A teenager named Abigail, who got baptized at age 12"

2) "An 18-year-old sister, baptized when she was 13"

3) "That is a comment made by Olivia, who is 17 and who got baptized as a preteen"

One of my other children asked...."how old was Jesus when he was Baptized?" I enjoyed reminding them of the answer.

I LOVE this age of critical thinking and am hopeful it will save the wife and kids from high control group misery. Trust the unchanging life principles of the Bible, not a group of men and their institutionalized and fluctuating interpretations.

No. Many millions who....weren’t Jehovah’s Witnesses will have an opportunity for salvation....Additionally, many now living (who have yet to become Jehovah's Witnesses) may yet begin to serve God, and they too will gain salvation.

Why I get out of bed every morning.

by compound complex in

because someone needs my help.. as a jw -- you can relate -- i truly believed that what everyone really needed was the kingdom hope and its eventual reality.

you know, the hope that does not lead to disappointment.

of course, if anyone needed practical help with a task or getting through some difficulty, most of us realized that was part of being a helpful and caring friend (or family member).. at nearly seventy years of age -- no, i didn't enter the promised kingdom in my healthful and vibrant youth -- my getting out of bed isn't so bad.

Brian J

Wow.

Much appreciated.
