Shepherding visit

by donnye in

i cannot seem to find any information on which elder/s are assigned to do a shepherding visit on a congregation member.

does one of them have to be the member's field group leader?

can any elders do a shepherding visit at a member's request?

Personal issues is always a good excuse to keep nosey elders at bay. And tell them nothing.

Funeral talk

by dothemath in

i was recently present at a witness funeral (by zoom) and the brother did do a nice talk about this sister who passed away.

her and her husband had pioneered for many years, but she succumbed to cancer.. in his closing remarks, of course he talked about the resurrection, and remarked how the husband (still alive) would soon be back together with his wife.. certainly fine thoughts, but imagine if this guy ended up getting remarried?

isn’t that putting a lot of pressure on someone, when it isn’t even mentioned in the bible at all?.

My father's funeral was about 5 minutes about his life(he was nobody) the rest of the service was a recruitment talk about the Org. What a disappointment. I wouldn't of gone if it was not my dad.

I wonder how many donation dollars it cost to build this Kingdumb Hall? You think they would give a credit in Gee-hovah Bucks sense they found sand for free.

Gee-hovah is the most incompetent, unreliable thing you can trust in. It is right up there with Santa Claus and The Tooth Fairy. You get the same results if you pray to a gallon of milk.

We Knew Many JWs That Weren’t Right....what about xjws??

by minimus in

do you think that when people leave the religion that they are basically now, “normal”?

or do you think it’s more a work in progress?.

Being a JW is just not normal. Too many restrictions. No personal growth. It's all about the Org. Once you get out you realize all the things you missed out on. Education, careers, opportunities. All for empty promises.

Jehovah`s witnesses not the only religion GOD is using now ?

by smiddy3 in

when confronted with angus stewart’s blunt question “do you see yourselves as jehovah god’s spokespeople on earth?” the answer that came from jackson’s lips was astounding.. “that i think would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using.

the scriptures clearly show that someone can act in harmony with god’s spirit in giving comfort and help in the congregations, but if i could just clarify a little, going back to matthew 24, clearly, jesus said that in the last days ‐ and jehovah’s witnesses believe these are the last days ‐ there would be a slave, a group of persons who would have responsibility to care for the spiritual food.

so inthat respect, we view ourselves as trying to fulfill that role.”.

But they are fallible and not inspired. Sounds like alot of bullshit to me. When asked by elders if I'm still a Jw and believe in the GB, my answer is sure. But my actions are completely opposite. Screw them.

Meetings

by pontoon in

so remember how assembling together is a command and no man or government can stop us, even if it means going 'underground', even if means being arrested, jailed, beat....can't stop us from assembling together----until covid.

now it's "false regligion" fighting for their constitutional right to meet together while the jws seem to be perefectly happy zooming their lives away..

Sheperdless- I think you're on to something there. I forsee the sale off of KH and just going zoom. A perfect on line religion. Everything online. The preaching work may still be around but reduced to their standing next to carts and sending letters that will be thrown away. More people I hope will wake up.
