Kingdom Hall Comes Under Attack

by Kenneson in

it is reported that in sri lanka a kingdom hall and a pentecostal meeting place were attacked by hindus 4 days after a monk who opposed religious conversions was cremated.

an effort is underway to pass a law that will punish people who use "inducements" for conversions.

the article doesn't state what may comprise these "inducements.

Seems to me I remember the propaganda was that "only the kingdom hall was left standing" after various vanadalism, attacks, earthquakes, and natural disasters of the world, and of course jw's were always spared because they were where they were "supposed to be!" Hmmm.... What?; was "J" on sabbatical for this?

Non Jw and Jw can the relationship last?

by Dayshdeess in

i have recentley fallen for a very nice female.

she's in her early twenties and i am 31, age we dont have a problem with and to be honest and soppy we truly love each other, her family have disowned her because of what she believes, my family have their doubts but again thats not a problem, i value my familys opinions who have already voiced their doubts, but i would like to make this work, albeit for her beliefs.. i feel she has been shown this way, firstly by her best friend who was born into it and has recentley been disfellowshipped for falling for a non jw, and also by things which have happened to her in her short life.

i knew after the first month that she was a jw, but she kept telling not to worry, as it wouldnt affect our future.

Run, or at least print out this thread and save it with all other vital records you keep and re-read it when things turn inevitably ugly.

Here's the "Witch's Brew" remedy provided by my chiroprator THIRTY YEARS AGO! I still use it today! 8 oz water, juice of half a lemon, 1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda-chug it fast while it foams-go to bed and sweat! Sure hope you feel better soon. This is the FIRST year I have succeeded (so far) in avoiding it, despite my kids having it (I have been mega-dosing round the clock with vitamin C and Echinacea). It took years of builiding my immune system up to avoid systemic strep twice a year, bronchitis, and the flu. What a horrid little sick kid back in the day I was!
