  I didn’t know they (the Cetnars) were both gone. They were wonderful, Christian people. R.I.P. 🙏😢

  if anyone were to come up to you claiming that they are the faithful and discreet slave, how would you go about proving them to be false, based upon scripture?.

  as 1975 was approaching, many witnesses sold their property.

  do you know about specific cases that are willing to share their experience of doing so?.

  Beth, they told people it was commendable if they sold their homes to live off the proceeds till the big A. At that time, they made a lot of money on sales of literature. Since the literature is now free, that is when they started guilting people into giving money. Either way, they were after money. Charlatans, they belong in prison.

  Maybe, no more elders, just someone to order literature and distribute it. Everything will become a “conscience matter”. So, avoiding holidays, blood transfusions, flag salute, etc. you could just use the conscience matter ‘get out of jail free’ card. No more disfellowshipping, just give money. JMHO

  Dirt floors in Africa, Ultra modern Towers in Indonesia

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  matthew 19:21. jesus said to him, “if you will to be perfect, go away, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.”.

  jw family tanzania - bukombe kingdom hall.

  nothing like attending your local kingdom hall in africa with dirt floors, tarps as a roof, brutal heat with no air-conditioning, and small wooden benches to sit on after a hard days work.. does the society help this congregation in africa with a suitable kingdom hall that would have the local members more comfortable with these unbearable conditions?.

  The length of a public talk

  by Farmer Jim1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone ever wonder the good they could have done instead of giving a public talk for 45 or 30 minutes?

  i remember giving my first public talk aged 18 and even then i was thinking ' this is just me making up half truths trying to blind people with jw propaganda'.

  fast forward 15 years to when i gave my final public talk and i was so close to seeding the 30 minutes with ideas that could possibly wake people up but i never had the guts.. in that 30 minutes i could have done so much real good for a person instead of spreading this awful religions dogma.

  I agree with Blondie, as they lose more and more ‘servants’ they will use the videos for most talks. 🤷‍♀️

  Former Elders Please - Disbeliever recently married to a JW

  by doasthouwilt in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recently married my best friend of 32 years.

  she is a life-long jw and once an active pioneer, i am a 'worldly' person through-and-through, always will be.

  we married because it was the only way we could find a way of staying together while giving her a path back to her religion ultimately, which she does not want to (or cannot) let go of.
