.........are due out soon, so here's a question which could be asked of the jw offering the invite:.
"can you show me any scriptures which says that spectators were to be invited to a ritual which is exclusively for future king/priests in heaven?

According to JW dogma, the bread & wine scenario is none of the r&f JW's business - never mind "worldly" people!
june watchtower on greeting is this beginning of change in shunning policy?.
NO - DEFINITELY NOT.
If it was, it would be news on the worldwide web - and other outlets.
i got the latest memorial invite on my door sometime today.
i work from home.
between the time i drop the kids at school and pick them up, i was here.
Same old same old - nothing radically different.
The org is still following the direction Jesus gave to his followers at Matthew 43:39 where he told them to invite as many unbelieving spectators - as well as every second-class Christian - to an annual event which only anointed Christians were to celebrate. Pretty reasonable - considering the the Bible's instructions.
every now and then, my wife will talk about how things are not making sense within the org.
i usually just dismiss it as her playing mind games with me.
for example, she would ask why there are so many branches being closed or why so many congregations are being merged.
Seeds are clearly growing on fertile soil. Shouldn't be too long before things sprout. A little watering here and there should nurture things nicely.
All the best!
this months broadcast is presented by losche and he discusses the need for trust in the fds.
the following is transcribed from the 12.30 mark.. satan also has the scheme to spread rumors about our brothers including the faithful slave.
the method of spreading rumors is not new.
Bottom line for JW's - "Do not trust OR repeat anything negative you hear about the org in the media - because it's all rumour."
"So, whom do you trust? You fully trust in.......the Faithful Slave. To a reasonable degree you also trust all of your fellow Brothers and Sisters." Mind-control; trust no one but us!
I feel a song coming on - "Listen, obey, & be suppressed......................."
according to the borg's web site, the kilbirnie kh on the ayrshire coast of scotland appears to have been terminated and the congregation now has to travel even further to share the irvine kh in ayrshire.
word is that numerous jw's in the area have been involved in a congregation "shuffle.".
anyone got any details on the sale or the "personnel" switching?.
Good to see the org continuing to speed up its contraction!

so this week's midweek meeting video about stumbling others has lett spouting and gurning rubbish again.. if you can't take the whole 9 minutes go from 5:50 to get the context and 6:45 for the "beard" mention.. https://youtu.be/ezv1ici5cwo.
oh, well - at least they shoot themselves in the foot with this doublespeak.

JW.BORG says this - "The Bible never refers to a servant of God celebrating a birthday. This is not simply an oversight, for it does record two birthday celebrations by those not serving God. However, both of those events are presented in a bad light."
Job's sons celebrated the anniversary of their births!!!!!!!
Genesis 40:20 - "Now the third day was Pharʹaoh’s birthday,
Job 1:4 - "Each of his sons would hold a banquet at his house on his own set day. They would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them."
Job 3:1 - "It was after this that Job began to speak and to curse the day of his birth."
Jer. 20:14 - "Cursed be the day I was born!"
In all four verses, the same Hebrew word is used. (yowm)
Let's imitate the WTBTS's reasoning; "The Bible never refers to a servant of God wearing eye make-up. This is not simply an oversight, for it does record two occasions when eye make-up was worn by those not serving God. However, both of those events are presented in a bad light."
(2 Kings 9:30) When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. So she painted her eyes with black paint....
(Ezekiel 23:40) ....you washed yourself and painted your eyes......
Based
on the "faithful slave's" spirit-directed
wisdom, eye make-up
for JW women is clearly pagan and should be abhorred - just like
birthdays. Got to be made a disfellowshipping offence!

Mr Lett - you're Pharisaic position, attitude and self-important speeches stumble me. Stop it now!
Sanctimonious & pompous hypocrite who probably believes in his own hype.
that was essentially my reply to a recent sms i got from the elder of the group i am supposed to be in, requesting a visit to encourage me and get to know me better.
my wife has been attending english language meetings in warsaw for the last year or so (i have never been) and i think they are getting antsy about where i stand.
i've met many of them at events my wife hosted at our house, but so far nobody has pressed me on the issue of my inactivity.. at one of the events, an elder mentioned that he'd heard i 'had been' a jw for many years and he was curious what first attracted me to the org.
Well done FTB. Stay under their radar by saying nothing except, "deeply private & personal things I have to deal with."
There aren't many things which Elders hate more than someone refusing to disclose personal information.
