  Does anyone know? Will our disfellowshipping be announced when the CO is here?

  by cha ching in

  sometime soon, we are to be "announced" as "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses".

  well, that's what you get for testifying against "glorious ones.".

  question is: will this kind of announcement be made the week of the co visit?.

  I still know some married couples where they refuse to come off the list, while the hubby is unemployed and the wife works at Starbucks Or the equivalent. They live in basement of their respective families and are clueless. Hopefully, they are using two forms of birth control ;)

  I didn't have a car when I pioneered straight out of high school but always gave gas money and treated for coffee.

  Translating JWFacts to Spanish... Update?

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as you all may know, it is an ongoing project to translate jwfacts to spanish.

  given that there are more than 2 spanish-speaking jw's for every one that speaks english, it can be safely said that spanish is the #1 language in the jw world (even though everything is made originally in english).. the spanish-speaking jw's are harder to convince.

  i attribute it almost 100% to socioeconomic factors.

  Need to find those Km or Wt articles encouraging all to read the old publications!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. bible

  i have been dropping comments to a few re some classic old beliefs and teachings etc... and when asked "where did you read that, or how come you are saying such and such?

  " i have replied "well, you remember we have often been told to study and research our old 'theocratic history' and 'old gems' of material?....

  now though i have been challenged to prove where this has been printed!.

  "the world has never been worse" - not according to this website..

  by disposable hero of hypocrisy in

  2. bible

  next week's wt is full of helpful encouragement not to believe satanic propaganda that might tell us that the world is getting to be a better place to live in.. .

  well, i stumbled across this article here, that contains lots of so-called 'facts' and 'figures', i'm sure glad i read my wt first so i can recognise that this is nothing but lies, all lies.. .

  Hello, I am new

  by LillyC in

  i am not a jehovah's witness but i am very interested, i have many questions and hope they can be answered here.. i do believe in god, privately.

  i do say my prayers daily and do believe god helps me in countless ways.

  but i don't go to any church.. i have always been impressed at how smart, polite and nice jehovah's witnesses are and i always make time to speak to them when they call at my door.
