Ignorance is bliss. Let them come to terms with their choice of Christianity. You never know, they're still young enough to awaken and discover TTATT. At the moment, they need the org's "system of things."

Advice on family waking up to TTATT
by Jules Saturn inif you've been following my posts here, i am physically in and mentally out.
it's so hard because i wish that my family could wake up just as easily as i did.
the other day i had a conversation with a relative regarding whether they have come to terms with their own mortality and they replied that they try not to think about it too much but also said that it's possible that armageddon would even happen long after they are gone, which i thought was a very interesting thought.. maybe it's just me, but i feel like what made me wake up easily was that i've always had little doubts here and there but this was stuff like me being unable to grasp the concept of how one could be anointed and how would you know if you were.

I had limited (personal) dealings with the home in Cumbria, north-east England several years ago.
http://www.jah-jireh-maryport.co.uk
It's separated from the local KH by a private gate, through which the paying residents are escorted to attend the meetings.
On my first visit, I was immediately struck by the internal drabness and run-down condition of the place, and how the RBC could have performed a good charitable work by renovating it. Definitely not a place I'd consign a loved one to.

1 hour 14 minute ph call from coordinator last night ?
by Chook ini didn't recognise his number , cordial talk for 2 minutes then what can i say , the chook rose to the occasion.
i will relay main points but the order is not necessarily correct.
he wants to visit with an other elder ( i live in two states 2/3 of time in a new house in their territory, but they don't know address yet ).

You stated your case loud and clear to them, and if it's energized you - brilliant!
The bottom line is however, that anyone who opens their mouth to elders are wasting their breath! Elders neither hear nor want to hear what faders/apostates have to say. It's the nature of the beast which they represent. If the elder didn't record the conversation this time, you can bet your bottom dollar he'll be prepared to do so if he calls again. You're now in his cross-hairs.
If you want peace and quiet from them, just tell them you've nothing to discuss with them at present, but you know where to get them if you change your mind.
I wish you the very best as you deal with the circling wolves.

"Do Jehovah' Witnesses believe that it's OK to receive messages from dead people who are in heaven?"
re chap. 20 pp. 124-125 par. 17 A Multitudinous Great Crowd - "Yes, that elder could locate the answer and give it to John. This suggests that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group (resurrected 144,000 ones) may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today."
w07 1/1 p. 28 par. 11 “The First Resurrection”—Now Under Way! - "What, then, can we deduce from the fact that one of the 24 elders identifies the great crowd to John? It seems that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today."
I've got this mental image of the J.W. G.B. sitting round their table every Wednesday morning, holding each other's hands
Anyone remember what Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says Jehovah thinks about this topic?

"Only Witnesses demonstrate Christian Love"
by Jules Saturn inso a couple of nights ago i was speaking with a relative and we began talking about the organization.
i had to asked her "why do you believe that this religion is the correct one?
" they stood quiet for a second but then said that they view and feel genuine christian love, a type of love that is spoken about in the bible.

Fact #1 - When I became a J.W., not one of my "worldly" friends or associates abandoned or ridiculed me.
Fact #2 - In all my years as a J.W., the only persecution I experienced was from different B.O.E.'s.
Of all J.W.'s I've ever known, elders stand out as being the most corrupt and un-Christian people I've had the misfortune to know. They were nothing more than puffed-up little tyrants who were legends in their own minds.

in retrospect: RBCs vs LDCs / the hype about a lot of new construction and subsequent abrupt halt to construction
by Magnum inso, now that some time has passed, i’d like some input/thoughts/analysis/etc.
on the jw construction situation in the last few years.. first, why did they discontinue the rbc arrangement and institute the ldc arrangement?
was it for more and/or better control?
-

The Fall Guy
All of the above!
The LDC (IMO) was created as a new but crucial hierarchical entity which would rigorously enact & enforce all aspects of the draconian changes concerning KH ownership, maintenance, and consolidation & amalgamation.
The org's hit-men in the LDC can now do what they like with any KH, and no congregation can stand up to them.
The vice has been fully tightened, and the B.O.E.'s know it!

I wish I had not gone to the meeting last night
by stillin inthe first thing i saw when i went in was the two video screens having the watchtower singers chorus doing a number.
the sound wasn't up enough to make out the song, but the video was grotesque.
the singers were swaying to the music, all independent of each other, no discipline, actually sloppy-looking.

Is it alright for a Disfellowshipped Jehovah's Witness to Date?
by preacherman init is said that a dfed is handed over to satan and left alone in his or her gross unrepentant conduct.
however, you'll agree with me that not all dfeds are living that way.
the truth is that some have actually repented and stopped their bad conducts but have fallen victim to the legalistic and procedural expediences of the wbts which makes it very difficult for some to come back in the shortest period of time.
