  Just wondering. . .for those that are Ex-Elders . . .

  by HappyBlessedFree in

  did your conscience ever bother you when you were counseling/reproving/disfellowshipping ones in the congregation?

  did it feel extreme or justified based on your biblical understanding at the time.

  also are there any ex-elders here that dealt with child abuse accusations?

  A joyless memorial

  many years ago i started a thread entitled 'a religion with nothing to celebrate' (https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/80630/religion-nothing-celebrate).. prior to about the year 2000, our congregation met in what had previously been an old church.

  we purchased it and even though we had little cash, made the place beautiful.

  it had real character, with beautiful wood work and we even managed to keep some of the stained glass windows as they weren't religious in nature.

  last night i dreamt i was at a circuit assembly; i even had a walk-on speaking part early in the morning program.

  i spent the rest of the day “working” the event in a security detail.

  the dream lasted until the entire day’s program was over.

  Does home schooling really work?

  by eyeslice2 in

  it strikes me that 'home schooling' is something often favored for jw kids, i've come across a number of families that do just that lately.

  and, that got me thinking, is this just a cop out for a proper education?.

  i am sure it is pretty difficult for a home schooled kid to get into a good university to study something like law or medicine.

  'Serving where the need is greater' - who does it benefit?

  we have recently been in asia on vacation, travelling to a number of countries in this part of the world.

  whilst in thailand, my wife, totally pimo, wanted to go to the english speaking convention in bangkok.

  although i haven't been active for a very long time, i went along with her.. the first thing that slightly surprised me was the attendance, well over 900. i hadn't expected that many but they were from all over the country, which is a pretty big place.

  we are currently living in a country where at the cinema the national anthem is played before the start of the movie and it is law that you stand.

  does anyone know what current jw thinking is on this?

  i know there has been various changes over the years.
