  2018 Annual Meeting

  does anybody have any word on the 2018 annual meeting?

  i assume something new will be rolled out, since they are having all the congregations do special weekend streaming.. my guess is that there will be some major "new light" concerning the memorial, partaking, anointed, etc.

  i would guess that they will say all baptized believers should partake.

  i was chatting with my very jw pioneer mother (aged 65) and out of the blue she tells me she is sore from a particular pose she did in yoga class.

  "wait, what??

  " i say in my mind.

  A Beard Maverick

  so i went to the kh for the first time in a month, and the first brother in our congregation has grown a full beard.

  i am in a western u.s. semi-rural area in a cong with an extremely conservative and controlling elder body.

  oddly enough, it seemed like people were going out of their way to converse with him and act like they didn't notice the beard or they complimented the beard.

  there are threads on the content of the rc and reaction of awake jws here, but how are indoctrinated jws reacting to the convention.

  Try Being Kind...It Actually Feels Good!

  let me start by saying that this forum has been helpful to me in many ways.

  i haven't gotten involved in much commenting and i am not very assertive by nature so i've steered away from participating in debates.

  but i have read threads often and had a sense of community.

  Blood Cards on File with the Elders?

  by EyesOpenHeartBroken in

  i have a question for elders here or recent elders.

  were the elders, in the last 10 years, given instruction to keep a copy of every publishers blood card on file at the kh?.

  we moved to our current cong 6 years ago, and shortly after we moved in, the boe requested everyone update and give a copy of card to the kh.

  does anybody have any tips for conversation starters to covertly feel out someone in the cong that you suspect is a "knower" about ttat?.

  any success or experiences to share?.

  i am wondering if my deceased elder father was awake?

  once we found out he was dying, i spent every moment i could with him, we were very close.

  anyway, i offered to read to him a lot when he was resting.
