They are giving a beautiful witness of Jehovah's Organization

by Tameria2001 in

they are giving a beautiful witness of jehovah's organization, now let us see the fruits of their labor blossom.... ...nah i can't say that with a straight face.

let me back up and explain why i said that.

as many of you know that my husband's mother had been fighting cancer.

Some dubs just have no humanity, your relatives sound like that, robots, no feelings. Sorry for your loss. 😞

So...what do you think about The United States of America?

i know the usa is not perfect.

there have always been social issues and differences.

politics has been for many people divisive.

I’m proud to be an American! I love the USA! Yes, things are not perfect. I do wish for universal health care. (I have great insurance, BTW, it’s not about me).

during tonight's meeting the brother seemed to read out something along the lines of "you may be helping a poor sister who you think may be struggling, but in turn that sister may be getting financial assistance from the government.

it is always best to stick to jehovah's arrangement in these matters so that help can get to those who most need it, including the worldwide work".

i think it may have been an article about social media platforms initially and how they should be avoided and then this was mentioned.

Just what is “Jehovah’s arrangement?”

Was It Designed? (My head hurts)

by Cadellin in

i know i shouldn't--i tell myself this over and over--but i can't help peeking at these silly articles.

and then i see this and my head really starts hurting: so the gannet, if you don't know (and why would you?

) is a seabird that feeds on fish.

Why can’t you people just accept what is published and not question everything? Lol

Questioning them is like questioning God himself.

Worldwide Campaign Nov 2020

by Listener in

thanks petra and atlantis for sending the latest letter regarding the watchtowers plan for a worldwide campaign in november this year.

i am wondering what they are planning to achieve from this campaign, particularly their focus on sending the watchtower 2020 no.

2, titled "what is god's kingdom" to politicians, governments (and tribal leaders) around the world.. it would appear that this is their answer to governments who have put them in the spot light for their bad policies, particularly their handling of child abuse.

Biahi

They are actually going to write letters to public officials? Maybe we could do a little letter writing of our own. 😈

The election is November 3rd, so shouldn’t affect the election much, if it starts November 1st.

What Is The Position Of Witnesses For People Who Are Inactive And Don’t Want To Be Bothered By Anyone?

by minimus in

i used to have some close friends simply pay me a friendly visit or call to see how i was doing.. i am curious as to whether or not the society instructed witnesses to no longer check on inactive ones and treat them as marked or disfellowshipped..

Biahi

I’ve been out 35 years, no one has contacted me. I think I’m free and clear. The funny part is, a couple of years ago, I was out on the street, 2 smiling men approached me to hand me a memorial invitation. I handed it back, and said, “No thanks, I walked away from this religion over 30 years ago.” You should have seen their faces drop. The funny part is that they were doing street work, but after me, they literally jumped into their car and sped off. Lol

Witness reaching out to me after 20+ years...

by SouthCentral in

a few weeks ago; a witness couple from the midwest reached out to me after 25+ years.

they said they were doing a letter writing campaign and decided to reach out to me… they called on my personal cell phone, which was a little surprising.

a few days ago, a couple that i knew from over 40 years ago, sent me a text, again to my personal cell phone.. i assume that they just googled my name to get the personal info.

Biahi

Sometimes I wonder who of my old JW friends are in, and which are out. I’m not sure if they have even tried to contact me, because I have a different last name than the one I had when I left. Just got back from a 5 day visit to see my mom. She’s the same (sigh).
