even though i'm disfellowshiped ( & i belive wrongfully so).
i still belive this is the truth.
i have been d'f for about 8 months now and working on reinstatement.
Golden rule and book of James wrap it nicely. But not what is seen in practice. Other religions and some secularists often come closer.
The last days is a common theme in all doomsday religions. The outcome depends on which one: rapture, living through to paradise, reincarnation.
My feeling is either God doesn't care, or doesn't exist. Maybe ( witness belief ) waiting for a greater number to destroy
study article 31.
“be steadfast, immovable”.
11 at times, we might reason that the direction jehovah gives us is not sufficient.

My beard is comfortable and makes me look better, even admitted by long time company men. . It takes grooming, but less than shaving every day. You are right, it is a choice, not a requirement either way.
i didn't know what category to put this under, but would appreciate thoughts.
we know if you are df or dissasociate yourself, an anouncement is made at the local kh.
do any of you know if they also contact congreagations you have gone to previously?
The announcement is only at the congregation that formed the committee. The gossip mill travels fast
hi i want to tell my story and get advice.
i'm a single sister ( in usa) that has been baptized for 20 years.
i came from the world, so did not grow up in the truth and i have no family in the truth -- i am alone.. last year i met a brother & we did have premarital sex while we were dating.
Things to consider
The watchtower does not have a relationship with jehovah
Many churches have good or better people

The original elders may have wondered in the back if their minds how they could get some themselves.
With no family in maybe just move on
If you are not a dedicated worker for the borg you will always be in the fringe

Bright side: new world will have no carbon emissions ( or electricity).
Pushing the woke agenda, ignoring the problems the solutions will cause. Good thing they left Brooklyn before it turns into Atlantis.
today i discovered the musical highlight of jehovah's witnesses, recently added to jw.org.
we had "from house to house, from door to door", but this song will be more famous!

i once gave this book to a woman with kids at the door...to my shock my next visit she gave it back saying it was discusting and full of violence and sex!
this book was clearly written by some bethel loser with no kids.
i don't understand why witnesses don't have a separate kids school..
Does anyone have a link to the identical book from the 30s? It was posted here some years back
elder friend of mine texted me asking what my rc attendance was 2 weeks ago (family and i streamed it since wife is not well).

co told them that around 2600 were the total from 16+ congs that were assigned.

" the best ever" catch phrase has gone missing. I have not heard it even once.
Being elderly and pimo, I have no excitement. But none is noted anywhere else among the pimi either.
