all jw memorial services i've been to have been similar.
a couple of sentences about the deceased and then it's all about the religion.
very impersonal and scripted.
Yes that's about it!
Keep eulogising and open remarks about deceased to a minimum and personify the outline to make it sound like this is specifically what the deceased believed.
Absolutely boring - Unfortunately I had to attend a Memorial Service for my beloved M-in-L 3 weeks ago and although the speaker was very big friends with Gran he hardly made any mention of her truly magnificent record of "fine works" and acts of love toward her fellowman.
just a quick question.
who actually writes the awake!
and the watchtower publications ?
Not all AWake article are written by the GB - Many are contributed by designated assistants. Barbara Anderson wrote Awake articles if I am not mistaken/
we all gossip.
it is only human.
watchtower actually tries to instruct adherents not to gossip and it can land a jw in front of a judicial committee—some do try to follow this admonition.
Londo ...............between You and Me .......and I heard this from a good source ..................who said that they are the worst !
who needs real people (who don't actually do much except move their trolleys around) and their trolley carts, anymore.. the buddhists engage with the robot age.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7dnf1c1sj0.
Smiddy - At least this one speaks ! And it can be programmed to preach a new message on a daily basis! lol
Would be great if you can acquire one and position it near a Trolley Cart........ preaching...... JW Facts !!!!!
I "foresee" Caleb and Sophia going Robotic !
i turned in my letter of disassociation on september 18, 2001 but it was 9/11 that showed me what the witnesses really feel about human lives and the future wished for.. i was in limbo after my wife of 27 years left me on july 30, 2001. she knew i wasn't buying the jw program anymore.
she told me she come back to me when "i got my head straighten out about god and the church".. so for 40 days i was in limbo.
i stopped going to meetings.
Yep the contorted illogic ! Destroy billions and then resurrect - effectively in the "next instant" as death is like a sleep to start the shite all over again and then to be tested again only to be taken out in another Great Apostasy [according to the Revelation Climax [do you come here often/ Yes 4 times !] Book ]]
i was really puzzled when i opened this edition of the wt magazine at the above “study”.
what on earth has this picture at the top of page 13 got to do with christian watchfulness?
i wasn’t making a connection at all.
The sanitised indoctrination and ....the cliques !
they'd be viewed as completely mentally ill and laughed at.. so, how do the governing body get away with it?.
ebina assembly hall, where the japan’s branch office is located,need to be fixed all over inside, but they have no money.

After being touted for years as sterling examples of exemplary devoted publishers and in particular Pioneers there has been the Dramatic decline.
Has this been discussed here? Would love to see what has been speculated as to the reason for this !

he was paul miyoshi.. i passed by him; he raised his head with flashing white hair and set his gaze serenely upon me that first time.
the pupils of his eyes were black, mysterious, as from another world.“konichiwa” he spoke with a smile wrapped in mischief.. there had been a slight bow which triggered a mirrored response.. over the next year and a half, i’d get to know this man much in the way a box within a box reveals more boxes.
Great piece of writing !
the watchtower published anthony morris iii's autobiography last year ... "remembering my first love has helped me to endure" by anthony morris iii.
i absolutely cannot believe how quickly he became a jehovah's witness.
in the span of less than a year, he attended his first meeting, studied, got baptized, became a pioneer, and married a jw girl.
And got anointed ! ...............its all in the Mind !
