unlike god's word, that jws believe to be absolute truth, any one of their directives given at the 2013 district convention could be subject to misinterpretation.. .

I've asked this before but it is really important if someone can tape any talk stateing that anyone accuseing the society of condoning pedophilia are apostates. It would really be appreciated since we've been asked for this.
op based on mr. freeze's topic - could attending the meetings/studying again sway any of you back to the org.
hearing the propaganda over and over again is pretty powerful i'm sure.
(i'm a non-jw, non-christian (no offense), stubborn as a bull and even i had moments of pause based on some of the doctrine (lasted 30 seconds) but i never had family/friends at stake or a background in this.
I'm not a hypocrite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nor an accomplice to all their unforgiveable crimes that they will have to answer for one day.
i don't really remember where i heard this... either at a public talk or a district convention or c.o.
visit or something.. .
my question is, has anyone else in there time with the org heard that said?
It was told to us by the elder who was studying with us at the time. After he told us that what followed in the next sentence from his mouth was "but you didn't hear that from me". He said he could get into trouble telling us that one. And at the same time he looked like he was kind of embarrassed about it. Weird!
so 2 weeks ago i received an email from the po... he wants to give my wife and i a shepherding call very soon... but get this... he mentioned that they had already made shepherding calls to the entire congo and we were the only ones left... i don't know whether i'm i supposed to feel loved or despised (by that completely irrelevant comment).
he's probably doing this to impress the co who is probably visiting soon.... my response to his email was basically: no problem... please feel free to stop by anytime... however, no need to come with a second person.
i would prefer a 1 on 1 meeting (not 2 on 1).
I have to laugh, hold on. Ok, I'm back. Whew! I am a female and I was stuck with an elder alone when it came to him asking me if I was making donations. His lecture lasted three hours at the kingdom hall. Second time he lectured me in the woodshed, his stupid wife was with him. When it came to mine and hubby's baptisim questions that they go over with you, which was three different times, each time I was alone with an elder. Another time when two elders came to our home because a brother ripped us off almost three thousand dollars, I was in a room with the one elder and hubby was in the living room with the other elder. That was our socalled shepherding which by the way they agreed we were ripped off but why not let ourselves be wronged. I hope you morons at the society are reading this for this is what really goes on. A bunch of pompous asses.
yestarday all our elders were invited to a one day meeting urgently .i know they had their elders meeting few months ago .does anyone know what it was about .i heard from the grapevine that among other issues disgussed was a)how to deal with disfellowshipped ones and, b) how to offer councel to fellow elders .any elder attended this meeting in britain please feel free to share some info.
I wonder if it's got to do with inactive ones. All of a sudden us and now another family from another hall who doesn't go have recieved phone calls asking if we're coming back. If they were to df then bring it on. We got four phone calls yesterday but would not pick up. Why now after not one phone call in NINE STINKIN MONTHS?????????????????????????????
i have not been going to the meetings for just over nine months and was wondering what to say when an elder asked am i coming back.
if i say no will i get df'd?
we have not gotton any phonecalls or visits but a text message asking if we are coming back.
It feels good to know that we accept one another no matter what, with or without flaws. Thanks Grace! It really mean alot. Have a good night and hope you sleep well.

I wouldn't be sooo hard to do that Jam except I have a couple of relatives that are in and I have the most awesome hairdresser who is one as well. Good hairdressers are hard to find. LOL.
Mouthy, I will keep a down low like you say. Yesterday I was at a store and the two girls working behind the counter was a gal I had studied with for a year and a half and beside her was a witness. The witness was from another hall and had heard I was gone and asked if she could help me with anything. I told her what I took it up in prayer and this is the path Jehovah is leading me and have to listen to him. (thank you Jw net) She started to cry and I thought what the,,,,
Please Mouthy be patient with me for I have a trust factor that I have to work on but you will meet with me soon. It stems from when I was a kid and coming back into the religion made it worse. I love you guys for all your help and feel more closer to you guys whom I have never met than the ones who were standing in front of me at the hall and looking past me while I'm talking to them.
Thank you thank you thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
