  Midweek meeting

  by loneranger in

  almost two months into the change in format of the mid week meeting from the school and service meeting format to the christian life and ministry (clam) format.

  in my congregation, seems attendance is down 10-15% over the normally low attendance for the mid week meeting before the change.

  some indicate that the meeting under the clam format is very "intense"...you really need to study and research to be able to participate or get anything out of the meetings.

  I brought a King James version to the meeting a few times and almost all that saw it had to make a comment that I had an incorrect version. It was uncanny

  Assemblies - Before and After Waking Up

  happy friday to all!.

  i haven't been to a meeting for maybe 10 years.

  i only know what's happening nowadays from the experiences i read here or the internet in general.. anyway, on to the topic: i started attending meetings at the age of 7. as a kid, the only thing i looked forward to at the assemblies (circuit/district) was walking around veteran's stadium (philadelphia district convention) during intermission, hanging with friends, looking at girls (as i got a little older) and trying to have enough tickets to get pizza!.

  Never did clap, always thought it was an outward show of total agreement. The last prayer would usually last 10 minutes over the stated ending time, sometimes i would clap cause it was over

  speaking of idols...As mubarak was leaving egypt, he asked the driver what was the name of the statue the muslims were dancing around. The driver looked back and asked why. Mubarak replied, "Oh just idol curiosity..."

  Gas Pump "Witnessing"....Is this a thing?

  by Bob Loblaw in

  2. experiences

  i've seen this twice now within a month.

  a car group hanging out at a gas station.

  one of the cult members jumps outs of their car and runs up to a "worldly" gas pumper, arm stretched out, tract in hand, and here comes the juvenile at best question.

  What,s funny is I complained to my JW friend about solicitors coming to my door and trying to sell stuff or get money for school functions and he agrees with me about the same thing, yet he can't see the same about what he does as annoying

  2. friends

  l was wondering if others get the feeling that the world we live in seems not quite right.l can not pin point anything specific but since childhood days l often get the feeling something isn;t correct.you know the feeling of deja vu.

  am l the only one to feel this way?ld love to hear from others and any storys they may have.having been raised in the jdubs maybe lm just suffering mild bouts of paranoia .

  Maybe it could be too many warnings of doom from all sides. This one is from Glenn Beck and could actually happen now or tonight or in the morning or the next day....

  i recently installed youtube on my ipad, as i was prompted to view some videos of a non jw source.

  it was more for entertainment.

  eventually jw related videos showed up and i viewed some and found them interesting.

  How many here (believers) believe in the Hell fire doctrine and why??

  by jam in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's obvious the bible is very clear on a actual hell of fire.

  "cursed into the eternal fire with the devil and his angels", rev.20:15.

  "lake of fire", rev.21:8 "fire and brimstone".

  If Luke 16:23 is true, i imagine replacing the word "rich man" with the name Charles T Russell would bring this story to life...

  Those magazines are "old" light and shouldn't be taken literally. Only material that is on jw.org should be considered current... It is a shame though, that these kids put their life up for what is likely to become "old" light. M 15:17
