  To DA myself or to go to JC meeting, that is the question

  by Crazyguy in

  i just got done with another visit at my home with two elders and even though i tried to say very little they took anything they could as a disagreement with them as enough to say they may call a jc meeting after they talk to the rest of the elder body.

  so since they are planning on dfing me any way, i'm wondering if i should just write a letter or go through with their meeting?.

  I f they have even the slightest suspicion that you are a doubter or evn an apostate,they WANT you to write a (DA) letter and they WANT to have their little jc powertrip.They need to have you classified and categorised.

  So..my suggestion is what many others have said;do the opposite of what they want and IGNORE THEM.

  My adorable 5 year son explaining the meaning of life

  i asked my son quite randomly before bed what he thinks the meaning of life is.

  like always, his answer brought a smile to my face.

  he said, "to have a great time .. to have fun and have friends ... and be happy.

  A small observation from the AGM...

  ...but it struck me as significant anyway.. i attended at a jw assembly hall, and was sitting behind a pretty typical jw family.

  2 kids about ages 8 & 5, frazzled hen-pecked husband, and....the mom.

  the lady of the house.

  i could be wrong, but i can't help but be a bit optimistic.last night my parents and i had our "family worship night".

  i hate it, and i believe my mother does too.

  my dad only does it because he's an elder but last night even he was acting like he didnt want to do it.

  that's right, and it's great!

  i don't know exactly why because he hasn't turned apostate and still seems to believe jw things.

  i don't feel comfortable in asking him why he doesn't go to meetings anymore for some reason, or find out what he believes and if the things i've told him bout ttatt influenced his decision.

  @*lost*

  "But i do think we are going the way of people getting sick of religion and governments stripping them of their power."

  I too think this is a welcome direction,but I see it more as a natural process - cultural evolution - than some action taken by the government.At least where I live,which is a predominantly protestant European country.When people just don't care much about religion and church,how could it have power over them.

  Might be different in Saudi-Arabia though.. how can you make the difference between political and religious power there.

  However,I think this doctrine serves the gb quite well.So much of the violence in the world is at least inspired by religion,that dubs will always have a steady flow of signs and omens that will lead to the UN's attack on religion.There's always gonna be gods that need some earthly "defending" to be done by suicide bombers and other terrorists.Allah is definitely in constant need of such defending..

  I was just thinking this after reading the july wt and I completely agree with the op.It's one thing to "adjust" invisible comings and goings of some

  dead jew,but another to predict events in real life.Also,this can not be easily explained away as having happened "symbolically", when nothing really happens.

  It's hard to imagine the gb believing this themselves,but who knows how delusional they are.

  @yadda yadda 2

  "In order for that to happen, the collapse of the US would have to basically occur politically and atheistic socieities like China and Russia would have to become dominant and basically commandeer the UN for their own globalist agenda."

  Russia is by no means an "atheistic society".In my experience,it's much more religious than many European countries.Putin and the Orthodox

  church hierarchy are good buddies.The head of the church,Kirill, even called Putin's presidency "a miracle of God"

  This from wikipedia:

  "On 8 February 2012 at a meeting of religious leaders in Moscow, Kirill described the Putin era as "a miracle of God" and criticised his opponents. He said that those who were demonstrating for democratic reform and the rule of law were emitting "ear piercing shrieks"

  Soviet Union was of course another story.

  "Vindication" book. 1931- anti female rant. With Scans

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so "women make monkeys out of men" and the common courtesies of civilised society make a man "effeminate".....and that is enough to have a man barred from the kingdom.... (the kj version uses that word in 1 cor.6.9 but other translations apply it to homosexuality).

  mother's day is denounced as a scheme of satan to idolize one's mother at the expense of worship to god!.

  now it would be easy to dismiss this baloney as just a rant from jfr, but - this is not just an aside on the back page of a magazine or a small article in the "golden age"...no, it is a main study book and is a serious discussion of the prophetic book ezekiel chapt 13....this was the doctine of the time .. i woder how the 'sisters' reacted?
