last night(tuesday) an announcement was made in our congregation that my husband and i had disassociated ourselves.
we did no such thing(for personal reasons) nor was any document whatsoever given to the local elders or anyone else.
nevertheless, that is what happened, apparently no letter of resignation is required.
Wow Lulu, are you serious?????
Did you guys possibly do something that could have been taken as dissassociating yourself by your actions? Did they meet with you? Did you say anything to two or more of them that could have been misconstrued?
That's wild!
just saw this flash on my yahoo news - a religious group pushing ads "what would jesus drive?
" in an appeal to get big suv's and other gas guzzlers off the road.
i am all for doing more environmentally, but this is a big turn off for me.. http://news.yahoo.com/fc?tmpl=fc&cid=34&in=business&cat=automotive_news.
We know what Jesus drove. He rode out of Jerusalem in a Triumph.
That mug looks mighty empty Beans! Beer mug I mean....
have you ever said anything embarassing by saying the wrong word because of what you were thinking about?.
i once saw a very hot guy come into the restaurant where i work.
as he was walking in i was thinking how much i loved his eyes (as well as some other things).
If I told you you had a nice body, would you hold it against me? bada bing bada boom
Who remembers the old Mac Davis song? "It's Hard to Be Humble"
anyone have a "hand of jehovah" experience?
something that happened that at the time made you feel it had to be jehovah intervening?
if so, how do you feel about it now?

are you a cool person?
do you wish you were a "cool" person?
does the jw way of life get you to the point that you have lost that coolness?
Hey! I passed! All expectations were met 100%!

does anyone know of any information comparing the growth rate of jehovah's witnesses to say the mormons or other "recruit-oriented" religons?
Wow F-Girl! Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for but even better!
Yes Simon, I agree with your comments precisely! That's why I was interested in the growth stats.
Plus, we've constantly been told that this "tremendous increase" is "evidence of God's favor". Well, if the evidence is increase, it looks like the Pentecostals have it!
Of course, I'm sure some would argue that increase and Bible truths combined is the actual evidence. Or those same people might call into question the accuracy of the chart's source. However the fact that it is published by the LDS and their stats aren't much better, if at all (3 JW congs to1 LDS ward for example), speaks volumes to the candor of the report.
